Raven

**Raven** is a female Human-Demon hybrid and the only daughter of the demon Trigon. She is also a founding member of the Teen Titans.

## **History**

Raven was born to Angela Roth, a woman who had been abandoned by her own mother at birth. Angela had been processed through the foster care system, going from one unloving family to the next, resulting in the young woman to develop apathy towards people. Even when her religion failed her, Angela turned to Satanism and was to be the potential "bride" of Lucifer himself. The cult she was with summoned instead of the Devil, was a being of angelic beauty, causing Angela to allow her and the being to mate. This however turned out to be a ruse as the being was later revealed to be the demon Trigon. This resulted in the demon impregnating Angela in the process. Horrified by the incident, Angela sought counseling, only to be rejected and attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills.

Fortunately for Angela, a group of other-dimensional beings from the world of Azarath approached her and brought her to their realm, even though they knew she was carrying a child of Trigon. Following this, Azarath would begin safeguarding the child and her mother from the influences of the demon, however that all changed when Angela gave birth. When Raven was born, the realm of Azarath was corrupted and chaos began to spread amongst the populace. Juris, the Magistrate attempted to rid his realm of the child, only for himself to be killed by a watchful Trigon. It would be the current Azar that took Raven and raised her, teaching her not to feel any emotion, as her powers were capable of controlling and manipulating emotions freely. The Azar would teach Raven for a decade until her death, leaving Raven's mother to continue her daughter's education.

It was during this time over the next several years that Raven began feeling her father's influence grow within her, so to save her home, she fled Azarath and sought help from the Justice Society of America, but was denied due to Zatanna Zatara sensing the young girl's demonic heritage. In an act of desperation however, Raven formed the Teen Titans, consisting of Cyborg, Robin, Starfire, Kid Flash and even Wonder Girl, so that when the time came to face Trigon, she would not be alone.
