As a vampire, Raven has much more pronounced fangs that allow her to drink blood.

She dresses in dark colors and tattered clothing, and her outfit consists of a revealing ruby-red bikini halter top. It is possible her clothes have been torn during her adventures. The bikini halter top has an insignia visible below the belt which it hinders below. The same belt rests of her hip and above her torn, black jean shorts, which now look like a cutoff bikini bottom. The jean shorts has a chain, multiple belts wrapped around her right leg and a few which spiral towards the lower half of her left. She accompanies her outfit with a black jacket draped over her shoulders like a cape; the jacket is ripped towards the bottom and is tightened towards her chest by the belt.

She wears protective armor on her footwear as well as one extra armor plate on her right shin.
