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 across 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: Raven has some weaknesses which include:

Emotional instability: Raven’s powers are tied to her emotions, if she loses control, her demonic side, inherited from Trigon, can take over. Strong emotions like anger or fear can trigger transformations or destructive outbursts that can cause harm to both enemies and allies.

Empathy overload: being around or absorbing too much intense energy, like a panicked crowd, can disorient her, and she would need solitude and meditation to recharge and regain clarity.

Trigon’s influence: her father, Trigon, is an inter-dimensional demon lord who still has a psychic link to her, with his presence able corrupt her thoughts or attempting to manipulate her powers. She constantly has to keep her soul on guard, one little slip and he could possible attempt to regain control again.

Physically vulnerable: despite being magically powerful, she doesn’t have superhuman durability, meaning a strong or a surprise hit can still injure her.

Magical limitations: her spells and magic require focus and concentration, which means breaking her focus can disrupt her magic. Prolonged use of her powers can also drain her physically and mentally. Overusing darker magic can also feed her demonic side, which she does her best to suppress.
