Raven (Teen Titans)

Rachel Roth, also known as Raven and Rae, is one of the main characters from the Teen Titans series.
== Charactah Account ==
The half-human daughter of Arella Roth, a human woman who managed to find her way to the other dimension of Azarath/a native of Azarath and Trigon the Terrible, a dread and powerful demon lord who intended to use Raven to open a portal that would allow him to enslave Earth.
Because of her background and powers, Raven is a solitary, quiet individual who prefers to avoid interacting with others much, but displays a biting, acerbic wit and a love for sarcasm when she does.

== Trivia ==
* Azarath is the dimension in which Raven was born and raised, and where she learned to concentrate her powers from the monks' help. Apparently, it serves as at least one source of her power, as implied when David Slack commented: "Whenever Raven was in trouble, she called on the power of Azarath; so when Raven is in the greatest trouble of her life, it seemed like we should take her to Azarath." The words "Metrion" and "Zinthos" were created by Glen Murakami for the spell, and do not have any meaning. These words also serve as her mantra for her daily meditations, which she performs to keep her emotions in check so they do not clash with her conscious self-control.
* Raven is shown to be the only Titan who cannot cook. This is shown in the episode "The End - Part 1", when she attempts at making pancakes. All four other Titans are shown to have made successful meals at some point in the show.
* Raven appears to hate wearing a dress, revealed in the episode "Mother Mae-Eye" (which is ironic, considering her original comic book costume was a dress).
* Even though she does not allow anyone in her room, by the end of the series, all four Titans have entered her room at least once and Jinx and Slade's robots have also been in there.
* Raven's grey skin tone may be explained with her species being half-demon.
* Raven’s dislike/allergy to chickens is possibly a reference to the fact that, in many cultures, chickens are seen as symbols of goodness and resurrection, with their presence being able to repel demons (or even possibly half-demons like Raven). In Central Europe it is believed that the devil flees at the first crowing of a rooster.
* Raven is the only character to have her birthday celebrated or mentioned in the series.
* Raven is the only Titan whose mother and father make an appearance on the show (excluding Robin's parent's silhouettes in "Haunted").
* Beast Boy and Raven were intentionally written by David Slack, the Titans head writer, as an "old married couple," hence the relationship was one of deep loyalty and affection, but also laced with conflicting personality clashes.
* When Raven stopped time, her powers briefly became blue-and-black instead of the usual black-and-white.
* Many of Raven's traits and practices to focus seem to be slightly altered and drawn from Hinduism (such as meditation, as well as the chakra gem inlaid on her forehead).
* Raven's powers have changed colors from black-and-white to bright-green to blue-and-black and to glowing white.
* Raven and Cyborg are the only Titans who still had a living parent in the series, Raven's father Trigon (up until "The End - Part 3"), and Cyborg's father. Robin's, Starfire's and Beast Boy's parents were deceased, prior to the series.
* In the movie Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, it is revealed Raven can read in English, German, Latin, Romanian, Ancient Sumerian and Sanskrit.
* Raven does not identify Trigon as her father, rather just her creator. This is revealed in the final standoff between Raven and Trigon. As she defeats him she describes that a father is kind, protective and raise one. In "The End - Part 3", she tells Trigon that she was protected by the monks of Azarath and raised by her friends, and that he was never her father.
* Whenever Raven engages in hand-to-hand combat, she employs an open-palm fighting style that is very similar to many Eastern fighting styles, such as Tai Chi and Wing Chun.
* Raven is seen without her cloak seven times throughout the series. In "Fear Itself" and "The End - Part 1", she is shown not wearing it due to the fact that she is sleeping, one time where she is shown putting in on in response to the Titans alarm, one in the episode "The Beast Within" when she is recovering in the infirmary, and in the episodes "Episode 257-494", "Birthmark", and "The End - Part 2", it is forcibly removed off of her by Beast Boy, Slade and Robin respectively.
** Even earlier in Raven's creation, initially, Marv Wolfman thought of two separate characters. One was a mysterious type character and the other a sorceress. Eventually these two character concepts fused into Raven.
