Rain is the tritagonist of the DreamWorks film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. She is a painted mare who is formerly owned by Little Creek and the love interest of Spirit.

Personality[]

Rain is a good horse who is directly protective of the ones she loves. As such, she doesn't take it to kindly when she sees Spirit chasing Little Creek off,chastising him with an angry whinnies and huffing.

However, there is a softer side to Rain, who shows affection for Spirit during their "date" when they bond. Despite the love she has for Spirit, she is torned between returning with Spirit to the wild or remain in the village with the Lakota people once Little Creek sets him free.

Near the end of the film, Rain is released by Little Creek when he realized that she is in love with Spirit and allows her to be with her heart in the Cimarron. Despite being sad, Rain comes to accept Spirit's homeland as her own as well, with the fact that she may be apart from Little Creek but their spots in each other's hearts will never fade.

Appearance[]

Rain is a beautiful painted horse, with white and brown spots. Her mane and tail are blonde and she wears a black and white feather that Little Creek removed so she can be with Spirit.

Role in the film[]

Meeting Spirit[]

Rain first appears in the film shortly after Spirit freed Little Creek and the horses at the military fort. However he is taken to the Lakota village, where Spirit is treated better but still trapped in a small corale. When he sees Rain, he attempted to invite her over to have apples with him but in a twist of events rain looks to Little Creek and begins playing with him. Spirit is at first, confused by how much Rain adores Little Creek after suffering from abuse from the Colonel. She later neighs aggressively at Spirit when she sees him intimidating Little Creek after former tries to ride Spirit.

Date[]

When they are paired up for the day, Rain forces him to do the activities she wants to do. However, Spirit finds himself enjoying the day with her and seeing why she has a strong bond with the humans. After seeing her world, Spirit and Rain spent the rest of the day in the Apple orchard, where they share apples and later swim together. As the two bond, Rain and Spirit fall in love with each other.

Injury[]

Little Creek soon decided to set Spirit free after realizing the house could never be tamed. The force spirit leaves, he sees Rain by an apple tree, where he tries to get her to come with him back to the Cimarron. However Rain, though she loves Spirit, also loves Little Creek. They overhear the Colonel and the U.S. Army attack the village, Rain and Spirit rush back into the encampment only to be separated from him. She finds Little Creek who rides her to the river, where Rain is shot by the Colonel and falls into the ravine. Before he can shoot again, Spirit shoves him out of the way, saving Little Creek's life before he rushed after Rain. He swims after Rain, and attempted to pull her to safety. However, the current is too strong and the two fall down a waterfall and end up at the calmer end of the water.

When Spirit makes his way to the bank, he sees that Rain had already washed up on shore, wounded and barely alive. Spirit tried getting her up but Rain (weakend by the bullet) can't get up so Spirit slides himself underneath her, and gives her warmth while praying for her. However, Wranglers soon Spirit again but they leave Rain behind because she is too injured. Little Creek rushed to Rain's side and he takes her back to the village, where Rain is healed by the villagers.

Leaving Home[]

In the final moments of the film, Rain is revealed to have survived her bullet wound and happily reunited with Spirit. Realizing the love between the two horses, Little Creek removes the feather from Rain, so his two friends can be together. He proceeds to tell her that no matter what Rain will always held a special place in his heart. At first distraught, Rain agrees to go with Spirit, who is named so by Little Creek fit his spirit could never be broken. The two rush to the Cimarron where Spirit and Esperanza are finally reunited. The two horses race alongside their herd after a joyous reunion between mother and son.

The film ends with Spirit and Rain standing on top of the same hill that Spirit once stood alone, both watching over the herd as their friend the Eagle flies over them and the screen fades to black.

Post Film[]

Trivia[]

  • Rain's feather is symbolic, as it shows her ties to the Lakota people and Little Creek. When Little Creek removes the feather, it symbolizes how she is free to be with Spirit.
  • Rain's "death" is similar to Trusty from Lady and the Tramp. Both of them are horribly injured (Rain from a Bullet wound trying to save Little Creek and Trusty from a carriage landing on him while trying to save Tramp) and it's left ambiguous whether they survived or not until the end. (In the epilogue scene for Lady and the Tramp, Trusty is merely injured with a broken front leg and Rain is healed from her wound.
  • Rain didn't appear in Spirit: Riding Free.
  • She is the first love interest to be the tritagonist as Bala, Tzipporah, Chel, Rocky and Fiona were all the deuteragonists of their respective films
