I am your sister. I am a sin. The sin of pride. The original sin. The sin from which the rest of
you spring. It sort of makes me your big sister. And big sisters call the shots. - Raven

COMPLICATIONS:
Aloof: Raven tries to keep control of her emotions at all times, rarely showing emotion unless
during extreme situations, making her come off as aloof.
Daddy Issues: Her father is Trigon, the demonic ruler of several dimensions. He wants her to
follow in his footsteps. She wants a different path. Despite their differing views and many
battles, both seem to still love the other in some way.
Dark Side: If not kept in check, Raven's demonic side can take over, leading to catastrophic
consequences for her allies.
Motivation: Raven's goal is to use her powers for good and try to undo the legacy of her
father.
Plot Device: Raven has power greater than even she knows and when unlocked, she can
become a force nearly as powerful as her father.
Power Loss: Raven's powers are entirely tied to her emotions, becoming more powerful and
more unstable with the intensity of the emotions fueling them.
Relationships: She is close to her Titans teammates, Dick Grayson, Wally West, Starfire,
Beast Boy and Cyborg. Her feelings for Beast Boy often drift into romantic territory.
Rivalry: Trigon has children scattered across many dimensions and most of them are often in
conflict with one another.

Build Comments: You know, I was never a big Raven fan in the comics but she’s got a
pretty strong following for some reason. I always thought she was whiny and a pretty one-
note character, even if she was really the first Goth Girl in comics.

Now animated Teen Titans Raven rocks. Sardonic and properly gothed out, her sarcasm and
FAR more defined powers make her easier for me to deal with. Especially in the Teen Titans
GO episodes where they play on her Pretty Pretty Pegasus love, which is hysterical. So I built
her as a mix of animated and comic Raven’s powerset and general background because that’s
the Raven I want in the Thorpocaverse.

Secret Origins: A dark, moody character, Raven is the half-breed daughter of a human
mother named Angela Roth (also known as Arella) and the demon overlord Emperor Trigon.
Raven was born and raised in the pacifistic reality called Azarath by the Azarathian monks,
after her mother ran away from home, which was possibly in Gotham City, and joined a cult
(possibly the Church of Blood), where she was raped by Trigon. In Azarath, Raven was
taught to "control her emotions" in order to suppress and control her inherited demonic
powers.

Eventually she learned that Trigon was planning to come to her dimension and vowed to stop
him. She initially approached the Justice League, but they refused her on the advice of
Zatanna who sensed her demonic parentage. In desperation, she reformed the Titans as the
New Teen Titans to fight her father.

The Story so Far: The team was eventually able to defeat Trigon and seal him in an inter-
dimensional prison. However, Raven still had to fight her father's influence, as he was not
completely destroyed. More than once, Raven nearly lost control in various high stress
situations in her adventures and barely regained it before Trigon could reassert himself.

Trigon eventually escaped, came to Earth and took control of Raven. Azarath was destroyed
in the process. The Titans came together and killed Raven. This allowed the souls of Azarath
to possess her and use her as a channel to kill Trigon. Afterward, Raven was presumed dead,
but she actually rose from ashes of the battle, finally purged of Trigon's evil. She vanished,
and her mother went looking for her.

Raven was then captured by Brother Blood's minions to control Nightwing as part of Brother
Blood's resurrection. The Titans rescued them both and prevented Brother Blood from
returning.

She been a member of several incarnations of the Titans over the years and remains vigilant
of her father’s eventual return and his influence within her that will be with her always.

Characterization: With a shadowy past and eerie powers, Raven wants to be good, but she's
desperately afraid of the darkness within her. Raven's telekinetic powers allow her to move
objects with her mind. She constantly has to deal with Trigon's influence and the fact that her
powers are based on emotion, so she tends to be the most emotionless of the Titans. Feeling
just about any emotion too strongly can be bad for everyone.

However, she still shows some emotion like frustration and happiness. She typically prefers
to be alone, but will still spend time with the rest of the Titans. She is perhaps the most level-
headed of the group, as she is rarely shown freaking out or showing any "extreme" emotions
unless provoked.

She appears to be the most mature Titan. She's very smart, selfless, and responsible. And she
is also considerate to her friends when they need help and is honest even though she comes
across as harsh she never has harsh intentions (most of the time).

She generally dislikes things that are considered "girly," but considers Pretty Pretty Pegasus a
sort of guilty pleasure. At first, she didn't seem to want the other Titans to know about her
being a fan of the show, but she has apparently gotten over this, as she is seen watching it in
front of them.

Friends and Foes: Raven is close to her Titans teammates, despite her outward show of
indifference. She has shown strong romantic feelings for Beast Boy on several occasions, but
she has difficulties expressing them. She has come close expressing her true feelings for
Beast Boy on a few occasions, but generally keeps them to herself. Despite this, the two seem
to share a close, sometimes flirtatious relationship.
