Name: Rachel Roth
Age: 16
Alias: Raven (What she’s known as by everyone)
Film/Televsion: Teen Titans
spieces: Demon/Azarathian Hybrid
weight: Unknown, but probably a little below average
height: 5’5”
Appearance: Raven is a pale-almost grayish- teenage girl who wears a navy blue (sometimes pure white) leotard with a navy blue (also sometimes white) hooded cape, with the hood usually kept up. She has dark navy hair cut into a short bob and a dark violet eyes. She also has a red diamond in the middle of her forehead and a red-gemmed belt hung loosely around her waist.
Personality: Raven can often be described as goth. It’s a rare treat when she gives you a genuine smile, or even a genuine emotion other than annoyance once in a while. This is due to her powers. She has incredible demonic powers capable of destroying the world (She’s done it once against her will, but that was fixed) and even the slightest emotion throws them out of whack. Anger is the hardest for her to control and the most powerful, but happiness, sadness, fear, etc. can cause lights to explode, unleash a horrible monster representing her fears, and cars to burst up from the ground. This is stretched to the point that she has her own manifestations of each of her emotions that can sometimes come out of her mind. If given the chance, Raven can actually be pleasant, if a bit quiet, individual, who loves to read and dislikes being out casted as much as the next person. But as it stands, one has to look past her emotionless mask to get to know the real her. If she likes you enough, it will be easy on you.
Picture:
History: Arella, Raven's mother, was chosen to become the bride of the demonic Trigon. Abandoned by the demon rather than her becoming his queen, Arella was bent on suicide when she was taken in by the pacifistic disciples of Temple Azarath, a group who had centuries earlier forsaken life on Earth to pursue their own nonviolent lifestyle.
In their inter-dimensional world, Raven, Arella's daughter by Trigon, was born. Fearing that the child would bring evil among them, Juris, a magistrate of Azarath, attempted to cast the infant Raven into Limbo, only to be destroyed himself. Azar, the spiritual leader of the temple, then took the young Raven under her personal tutelage, instructing her in the truth of her parentage, and in pacifism, meditation, and the submergence of her emotions to resist Trigon's influence, while perfecting her powers of teleportation, astral projection, and empathic healing.
Later, after Azar's death (in which she entered another plane of existence), when Raven was plagued by prophetic dreams of Trigon and, defying her teachers, she confronted her demon father in Limbo at his bidding. Trigon spared her and Arella after satisfying himself that, upon his return when she reached adulthood, he could seduce Raven into becoming his ally. When Raven turned fourteen, she sensed Trigon's power returning and fled to Earth.
She arrived at Jump City, where she met several super-powered youths fighting a rampaging alien girl. Raven managed to discern the girl's true reason for her demolition work and convinced the others into a more peaceful approach, which won them the alien's friendship. Despite Raven's obvious insecurity, the others invited her to join them in defeating the truly hostile aliens—the Gordanians, who had attempted to enslave the girl—and her presence proved ultimately essential to the motley crew's triumph over the Gordanians. Afterwards, the group decided to stay together and formed the original Teen Titans.
Though Raven, still feeling alienated from her new friends, remained distant to them, the other Titans soon came to learn more about her origins. First, Beast Boy and Cyborg inadvertently ended up stranded inside Raven's own mind, where they met the personifications of her separated emotional aspects and also encountered and fought the manifestation of Trigon's heritage inside her. Soon afterward, a backfired plot by the Puppet King left Raven and Starfire stuck in each other's body, creating a new sense of empathy between the girls. Finally, when Robin was haunted by a drug-induced hallucination of his enemy Slade, Raven linked with his mind and saw glimpses of Robin's past, including his initiation by Batman and the death of his parents.
Raven helped the Titans for years, working alongside the other four to protect Jump City from villainous menaces. She was consistently invaluable to their success. Eventually, however, Raven's past caught up with her: On her birthday, Slade (who had been presumed dead) reappeared, wielding new powers and marked with a symbol which Raven could not fail to recognize. Slade deliberately led the Titans to the place where Raven's true destiny was to be fulfilled to serve as a living portal for Trigon to conquer Earth. Seeing no other choice, Raven finally told her teammates the truth about her past — but instead of being rejected, the other Titans remained with her and took the greatest pains to prevent this from happening.
Slade and an army of Trigon's fire demons attacked Titans Tower to fetch Raven. The Titans decided to fight him, but Raven, unwilling to see her dearest friends hurt on her behalf, knocked them out of the fight and secretly imbued them with some of her powers to protect them from the apocalypse to come. When the portal was opened with her powers, Raven was apparently consumed, but in fact her human half remained alive in Trigon's domain, regressed to childhood and left powerless.
Left in a world turned into a living horror, the Titans still refused to give up without a fight. With some help from Slade, (who had been betrayed by Trigon) Robin made his way to Trigon's underworld, found Raven and took her back to the surface, even though she was spiritually shattered by her role in the shaping of events. Finally, the Titans and Slade faced Trigon in a final onslaught. But even as they were struck down, Raven realized that all was not hopeless, and this realization sparked a new hope within her soul, allowing her to regain full maturity along with her powers. Under a righteous wrath, she used the sum of her powers to destroy Trigon, reverting Earth back to the way it was and/ finally ridding herself from the last vestiges of her dreaded heritage.
Things went back to normal after that, and after the defeat of the Brotherhood of Evil, Raven was sent on a mission to help the struggling town of Crystal Falls and find new Titans on the side. Raven was reluctant, considering the last mission was a baysitting gig, but she went anyways. And was happy to know that there was no babysitting involved this time.
Rank: Normally, her powers would give her a higher rank, but hardly anybody on the team trusts her due to her demonic heritage.
Allies: Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, Bumblebee, Aqualad, Mas y Menos, Jinx, Kid Flash, Kole, Jericho, Argent, other titans
Enemies: Slade, The Brotherhood of Evil, Trigon (her father) Brother Blood and the Hive, Blackfire, other villains
Partner: She prefers to work alone. This will change if any of the other Titans show up.
Plans: N/A
Sample Post: Amethyst eyes closed in tranquility. This agency was a zoo, half the agents were useless, and don’t even get her started on the leader. She was so used to Robin that when she met Naveen she stuttered and asked ‘you’re the leader?’ It was a rare moment when she wasn’t struggling to meditate due to the chaos of this place. It was worse than the Tower.
But whatever. She had her peace and quiet now, and she could not be more grateful.
“Azarath Metrion, Zynthos…” She spoke, repeating it softly.
“Azarath Metrion, Zyntho-”
“HEY RAVEN!”
The teen growled in annoyance at the familiar voice coming through on her communicator.
“What?” She said monotonously.
“Robin wanted me to check up on you.” Beast Boy said cheerfully.
“Fine.” She bluntly. “Now goodbye.” Before he could protest she shut her communicator. She wasn’t going to sit around and hear another one of his jokes again. However, she did miss the Titans. Even Beast Boy. She just didn’t want to express it.
With the moment gone she decided to meditate later. Instead she grabbed one of her favorite books and retreated to the lounge.
