Raina herself, albeit to a far lesser degree. She can be quite standoffish and snappy towards people who want to help her, including her mother. That being said, she is still a generally good-natured person who loves her family and most of her acting out is due to her insecurities and not due to her being a bad person. What's more, the previous scene with Raina's skirt getting pulled down in front of everyone is Played for Drama. While everyone else laughs at her humiliation, Raina's crying in the bathroom shows that it's not so fun on the receiving end.
