Character Obituary

Rakou Novara

Rakou Novara was KIA in a forest in Oktyabrsky, Russia on May 18, 2021 by several severe bullet and shrapnel wounds. He was part of a small invasion force that was organized to take out one of the main evil squirrel leaders based in Russia. Out of the ten soldiers in the squad, only two survived. They were severely wounded and explained that one of the squad members was an evil squirrel spy that had given them away to the enemy. After killing the spy, Rakou started to hold back the enemy so the rest of the squad could escape. Unfortunately, the evil squirrels were prepared and cut off their escape and the two survivors only barely managed to get through a gap in their assault.

 

Rakou was born on March 17, 2019 in a small village near the Buffalo National River in Arkansas named Ashford. His mother, Rizdra Novara, was killed in an evil squirrel raid on their home when Rakou was the equivalent of 7 in squirrel years. His father, Vesenth, hid Rakou in a small hollow tree trunk when the evil squirrels came back a month later and spotted him. Vesenth knew they were going to take him prisoner and decided to take his own life instead of going through the torture the evil army would put him through. 5 squirrel years later, Rakou was tired of just surviving and decided to take his father’s sniper rifle and fight back. After fighting for around 3 squirrel years, the good squirrel army heard about his success against the evil squirrels and found him to recruit him to make a major difference. So at 15 he became a good squirrel army sniper and started taking out important targets to the evil squirrels. Rakou usually worked alone because whenever he was put in a squad for an attack, he got annoyed at others getting in his way. Even with his lack of co-operation with others, Rakou rose through the ranks and became a renowned sniper.

 

There will be a memorial service with a 21 gun salute at Rakou’s hometown of Ashford next Thursday at noon. There will be no formal funeral because the body could not be recovered, but there will be a gravestone put up in the graveyard in memory of Rakou immediately following the memorial service.
