'''Rayman's wife''' is an unnamed character who seems to have been the wife or girlfriend of [[Rayman]]. She never makes a physical appearance in [[Rayman (series)|the series]], and is seen only in one of the two backstory mosaics unlocked by collecting [[Relic]]s in the PlayStation Vita version of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The mosaic reveals an event that occurred in the distant past, before the events of the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' game. Rayman is shown completely bald, living happily with his wife. She appears to have a strange fixation on Rayman's baldness, and is shown kissing the top of his bald head. One night, as Rayman sleeps peacefully with his wife on the forest floor, a colony of parasitic blonde hair creatures find Rayman and fuse themselves to his scalp. When Rayman's wife awakens, she is horrified to find her husband with a full head of hair, and produces a large pair of scissors. The hairs, fearing for their lives, begin to pull on Rayman's head, dragging him over the edge of a cliff. As Rayman falls, they reveal their ability to act as a [[helicopter]], flying him to safety. Rayman's wife is never seen or mentioned again.
'''Raynette'''<ref>The name comes from a piece of unused dialogue in the files of the PlayStation Vita version of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.</ref> is a female member of [[Rayman's species]] who is depicted in one of the two backstory mosaics unlocked by collecting [[relic]]s in the PlayStation Vita version of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', as well as in ''[[The Art of Rayman Origins]]''. She appears to have been the wife or girlfriend of [[Rayman]], although she never made a physical appearance in [[Rayman (series)|the series]].
 
According to the mosaic, [[Rayman]] used to be completely bald, living happily with Raynette. She appeared to have a strange fixation on his baldness, and is shown kissing the top of his bald head. One night, as [[Rayman]] was peacefully sleeping with Raynette on the forest floor, a colony of parasitic blonde hair creatures, named [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], found [[Rayman]] and fused themselves to his scalp. When Raynette awakened, she was horrified to find her husband with a full head of hair, and produced a large pair of scissors. The hairs, fearing for their lives, began to pull on [[Rayman]]'s head, dragging him over the edge of a cliff. As [[Rayman]] fell, they revealed their ability to act as a [[helicopter]], flying him to safety. Raynette is never seen or mentioned again.
 
Since the backstory conflicts with other stories of [[Rayman]]'s origin, and of how he received his iconic [[helicopter]] ability, it is unclear if it is true and whether Raynette ever existed.
 
==Unused subtitles==
The unused subtitles found in the game files for the cutscene involving Raynette are as follows:
 
{{quote|text=
They say [[Rayman]] was once as bald as a full moon on Rayday.
 
And Raynette loved him that way.
 
Meanwhile, the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]] set out in search of their promised land.
 
After centuries of wandering, desperate and delirious...
 
They came upon a snoozing couple...
 
A glorious sun rose over a land of perfect proportions...
 
‘Eureka!' said the [[Mini-Villus|mini-villus]] mini-king upon discovering [[Rayman|Ray]]'s shiny egg-head...
 
‘Home at last!!' cried the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], who threw down their bags and took root right then and there.
 
The [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]] threw down their bags and took root then and there.
 
‘Eeek!' shrieked Raynette at the unsightly ‘do...
 
‘Ahhhh!' screamed [[Rayman|Ray]] at the mini-invasion...
 
N/A
 
Running [[Rayman]] right over a cliff.
 
To his doom.
 
Or not. ‘Phew!', sighed [[Rayman|Ray]].
 
‘Your welcome!' replied the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], as [[Rayman]] glided into the sunset with Glade's best head of hair.
