Biography[]
Raptorella's real name is unknown. Back in the days prior to Marshland, Oregon being flipped back into the Stone Age, she worked as a dog trainer for the Police Department. She eventually utilized these skills in order to train velociraptors, and to her surprise, she actually got them to obey her commands.
Originally, Raptorella used her raptors to hunt for meat, but she craved greater excitement, and began using them to hunt human prey. She enjoyed targeting various homeless people and "hobo-mumblers", and this eventually grew into a sport.
Raptorella hired a group of mercenaries to capture a former track and field star named Alison and bring her to her territory for sport. It was at this time that she first encountered Meriem Cooper - the Cavewoman. Raptorella had already captured Meriem's friend, Bruce, and she threatened to have his throat slit unless she agreed to become a target in her hunt. Raptorella gave Meriem and Alison a head start, but then decided that Alison no longer interested her. She fired an arrow with an explosive tip that detonated and killed her.
Cavewoman made her way through the jungle at a brisk pace, making sure not to fall prey to any booby traps. She began scurrying across a fallen tree that served as a bridge, but Raptorella caught up with her and said, "Look! I brought you a present! It's an exploding arrow with your name on it!" [1]
