Name: Rachel Roth

Alias: Raven

Age: 19, she’s an adult

Appearance: Raven is a pale-skinned young woman, with shoulder-length dark hair that fades into a purple-ish hue, and with deep-violet eyes. Her outfit has a mix of a gothic and arcane aesthetic. She wears a dark-indigo cloak with a hood that tends to conceal most of her face, fastened with a ruby-like gem at the collar. She also wears a sleek, dark bodysuit, with gold-ringed red jewels on the belt. She tends to have a calm and unreadable expression on her face.

Personality: Raven is calm, quiet, and introspective, her demeanor coming off as stoic and sometimes sarcastic, and she keeps her emotions tightly in check. She tends to approach situations with calm logic over passion, and has a dry wit that tends to catch people off guard. Despite her seemingly distant and detached exterior, she’s deeply empathetic, can be quietly warm, and genuinely cares for her teammates, though she struggles to show it. She also constantly fights to contain her emotions, and to keep her demonic side and her father’s influence under control. She enjoys reading, meditating, and music, especially more melancholy and ambient music.

Backstory: Raven, whose real name is Rachel Roth, is the daughter of an inter-dimensional demon Trigon, and a human woman named Arella. To prevent her father’s influence from consuming her, she was raised in the mystical world of Azarath, a realm of peace and spirituality, and was raised by pacifist monks who taught her emotional control and empathy. After leaving Azarath, she sought to live a normal life on earth. However, she was soon draw in to the superhero team, the Teen Titans, and became the Titans’ mystical powerhouse of sorts.

Powers: Ravens’s powers and abilities come from her demonic heritage, Trigon, and her training in Azarath.

Empathy/emotional control: Raven is a empath, meaning she can sense, absorb, and influence emotions. This means she can calm people down, heighten fear, etc. this lets her be able to disrupt enemies emotionally or manipulate their state of mind.

Soul-self projection: her soul-self is a powerful, astral manifestation, resembling a raven, which acts as an extension of herself. Through it, she can use it to fly, teleport, scout areas and attack physically. Her soul-self can even travel through dimensions, returning with information or energy. If it gets damaged, she’ll feel the pain, as it’s part of her.

Dark magic/shadow manipulation: Raven can channel dark mystical energy, to create shields, blasts or barriers. She can also manipulate shadows for both offense and defense. Sometimes, her spells involve demonic or Azarathian incantations, with the one she uses often being “Azarath Metrion Zinthos.”

Teleportation (Via shadows or soul-self): Raven can teleport herself or others accrue vast distances, which can be physically or mentally taxing if overdone.

Healing (limited): she can absorb others pain or negative feelings, at the cost of her feeling it herself

Magic sense: due to her demonic heritage, she can sense magical disturbances, demons and dimensional rifts, with her being more sensitive to darker or corrupted energies.

Weaknesses: her powers are tied to her emotions, with strong emotions like anger, or fear making her lose control of her powers. If she lets strong emotions consume her, her demonic side, inherited from Trigon, can come out, causing her powers to become destructive and dangerous towards both enemies and allies. Her father, Trigon, still has a link to her, meaning his presence can corrupt her thoughts or attempt to manipulate her. This means she constantly has to guard her soul from him, with one slip meaning he could attempt to take control of her again. Being an empath, large crowds of intense emotional energy can disorient her, with her needing solitude and meditation to recharge her batteries. Her spells and magic require concentration, which means breaking her focus can disrupt her magic, and overuse can be taxing and draining on her. Despite being magically powerful, she’s doesn’t have superhuman durability, meaning a surprise or strong hit can injure her if caught off guard.
