Raven

Raven is one of the longest-serving members of the Teen Titans, in various incarnations of the team. Raven owes her heroic role (as well as an evil role) to a darker past - she is the daughter of a human mother named Arella and an inter-dimensional demon known as Trigon. Raven's demonic lineage was hidden from her for most of her early years. She was raised in an alternate dimension called Azarath, where she learned with a greater degree of skill to control her emotions by the goddess Azar. This was intended to control the influence of Trigon on Earth as her demonic powers would facilitate his ability to conquer the planet. Due to this training, she rarely saw her mother and the two grew apart. Upon Azar's death, she discovered for the first time her demonic heritage as she met her father face-to-face for the first time. This eventually caused her to leave Azarath and take residence on Earth where, after being rejected by the Justice League of America, she helped to create an incarnation of the Teen Titans.

Raven has matured substantially throughout her time as a hero. When first seen she was shy and withdrawn, but this was also a result of not wanting to use her powers to their full capacity (or else her father would control her body.) Keeping her distance and her secretive nature made her hard to trust. Initially, she was also a total pacifist and refused to actively engage directly in fights, but provided transportation and healing to her teammates. Although Raven began maturing as a character, unlike the rest of the characters on the Titans, this development came at the cost of potentially releasing her father upon Earth. As she accessed her emotions more often they came to affect her physical appearance and after she became completely corrupted she took on a demonic form and finally summoned her father to Earth. After his defeat, she was revived and her normal appearance returned. During this time she struggled to better relate to other people.

As the half-demon daughter of the inter-dimensional demon Trigon, Raven is very powerful and displayed a vast amount of abilities. It was noted by her father Trigon that she only uses a small potential of her power, and if she lets out her full inner demon, she may reach near-infinite power.

Soul-Self/Darkness Manipulation: Raven is able to conjure and project darkness from her body, usually in the guise of her soul-self, an astral projection in the shape of a shadowy bird that she can use to see through and manipulate objects. Though the soul-self is normally intangible, it can be disrupted by magic and concentrated sound. Psychokinesis: Raven has demonstrated on several occasions to possesses psychokinetic capabilities, in conjunction with her soul-self. Empathy: Raven has seemingly retained her powerful empathic abilities from the pre-flashpoint universe as she has been able to manipulate and sense the feelings of others. Psionics: In addition to her well-known empathic powers, Raven has an undefined ability to sense and read minds to a degree that she doesn't appear to notice if someone is physically invisible or not. The strength of her psionic powers remains undetermined, though she seemed to be able to effortlessly dominate Doctor Psycho when he attempted to gain control of her. Teleportation: Raven is able to teleport herself and others with herself to different locations, which is taxing her more than her other abilities. She can also use this power to travel interdimensionally with relative ease. Chronokinesis: Raven can travel through time itself and even bring passengers, also she appears to be immune to chronological manipulation due to her paternal heritage. Magic: Due to the time she spent with her father Trigon, Raven has gained a vast array of knowledge over the mystical arts, enabling her to cast magical spells for a variety of effects, such as healing, pryokinesis, and advanced energy wielding capabilities.
