**Raven Borraine** is a zombie girl from Chervil who lives in the town's junkyard, hidden from the population.

She made a small makeshift house for herself hidden in the junkyard and she has the habit of collecting and scavenging for cool things she finds in the trash dump.

## **Appearance**

Raven is 165cm tall and of skinny weight. She's a zombie who died with having her body cut into pieces, which she stitched up back together. Her body parts have taken white and lavender tones with time. She also has long pastel pink hair, shaved on the side, apple green eyes and white two tipped horns, which have purple piercings on.

She wears a choker and a dark purple tank top with a grey shirt on top of it (Look at the picture, what are those shirts even called??). She also wears a pastel pink skirt and dark purple gloves, as well as black ripped stockings. Some of her fingers and toes appear skeleton-like.

## **Personality**

Despite looking pink and cutesy, Raven is a tomboy at heart. She has trust issues and finds it hard to approach anyone and make friends. Having been bullied and abused in the past, she tends to have an aggressive approach to others.

She's probably one of those kids that would wear a "Normal People Scare Me" shirt unironically. When she does make friends, however, she becomes super loyal to them, willing to fight and do anything for them.

Although having some issues standing up for herself at times, if her friends are the ones in trouble, she will never hesitate to defend them. She also comes across as very intimidating but is still really cool and resourceful.

After her death, she became even more of a recluse, especially due to her being a zombie, which makes her scared to seek out others. Deep down she's very anxious but tries her best to hide it with her personality.

## **Abilities**

After her death, Raven started being very resourceful, her main quirk being that she became skilled at doing things without the use of her arms, such as sewing herself back together when she starts falling apart.

She's very resourceful and creative, being able to create things she might need using the most unexpected materials. She's very good at improvising tools in the moment.

## **Relationships**

### **Kurt**

Kurt was Raven's first if only actual friend she ever had. She was always a recluse and was bullied by other kids, having a hard time making friends due to being so hot-headed, and even more when she began to have more alternative interests and fashion.

Kurt was one of the kids in her school who had a similar treatment, always being alone, but unlike her, who fought back to defend herself, Kurt would always bow down and never fight the abuse.

She had been eyeing for a while and one day she finally decided to approach him in order of maybe becoming friends so they wouldn't have to be alone all the time, and maybe she'd have someone to talk with.

Used to being aggressive towards everyone and dealing with frequent abuse, meeting someone as quiet and soft-spoken as Kurt was certainly a change of pace and they quickly hit it off.

   Despite being quiet, he was just as mischievous as her and although they never really spoke about their families and abuse situations, they still spoke about a lot of other things.

A lot of the time, Raven found herself wanting to defend Kurt from bullies, which in turn only got them more bullied due to him "needing a girl to defend him". They didn't let this get to them, instead, bonding over their mutual dislike for their bullies.

She never got to let Kurt know of her abusive situation, so when she was killed and was labelled as "missing", he never got to know what happened to her, nor was she able to see him again once she became a zombie.

She also never got to know he killed himself a year later and is now a ghost, simply thinking he probably grew up and forgot about her as the years went on.

Little do they know they're both currently undead and living quite close to each other, but Kurt never leaves his house and Raven doesn't venture outside the junkyard, so this is unknown to them.

She misses him dearly.

### **Father**

Hate. So much hate. She doesn't know what happened to him or where he is, but he's dead to her.

## **Backstory**

Raven was born to a simple family, her mother died when she was born and she was raised by her single father. Her early childhood was fairly average, but as the years went on, her father started to become abusive to her, both mentally and sexually.

Although he never physically hit her hard enough to bruise, despite being a child, Raven knew very well that what she was going through was really bad, but she was too scared to confront her father about it and ask him to stop.

As a way to cope and repress the pain, as well as to avoid being in the same place as him, Raven often found herself away from home, trying to force herself to get hobbies and focus on other things such as fashion and music, rather than thinking about the constant abuse she suffered at home. Her father was a nice man, others liked him, no one would ever believe her.

Despite her upbringing, Raven was always a rebellious kid, and would often spend days away from home, claiming she was going to spend time at her friends' houses. Her father often threatened her into not telling her friends or anyone about him. But Raven had no friends, to her, girls stood with their own groups, making bitter remarks and spreading rumours about her, while the boys were all perverted pigs and jerks, so she isolated herself a lot.

She became quite anxious about male figures in her life and grew an aversion to ever being touched by anyone, becoming quite hot-headed and aggressive, which made developing friendships a lot harder than what it already was for her.

This only changed when she met Kurt, another kid who was as bullied as she was, while at the same time having similar interests as her. Despite her aversion to male figures, she found comfort in Kurt's kind and soft-spoken personality and the two quickly became close friends.

She never told him about her abuse, out of fear that he wouldn't believe her, or that he'd think she was disgusting and would end up leaving her as well, instead their relationship was focused on venting about their life in school and the interests and things that made them happy, focusing on having fun together and hanging out often.

Eventually, her dad ended up finding out about Raven's new friend, fearing he would potentially become a boyfriend figure to his daughter. He also disapproved of his daughter interest in alternative fashion, often slut-shaming her, and the fact that this boy had a similar interest, got him to tell Raven that he was a bad influence on her and that she was an embarrassment to their family.

Raven dismissed these warnings, but her father became more and more aggressive, growing increasingly paranoid that his daughter would tell him about her home life, he threatened to hurt her and kill her if she refused to stop talking to Kurt, telling her that no one would believe her and no one would want to associate with her if they knew what she did at home, seemingly blaming her for the abuse.

Although this got to her, Raven refused to stop talking to her friend, and with a newly found confidence, she began to threaten her own father about how she would run away and she would tell everyone what he was doing to her.

The abuse never stopped, and yet Raven kept defying him, even if she was terrified of him, she wanted to scare him into not hurting her anymore. These arguments got worse and worse every day until one day, her father snapped, and after a big fight, he hit her and knocked her out, tying and taking her deep into the woods where no one would hear them.

As Raven regained her consciousness, she tried to scream and cry for help, before realizing her mouth had been taped shut, her father was holding an axe and looking hateful at her.

With her fully alive and conscious, he began to strike at her fingers, her hands, her arms, her legs and her torso, but as much as she tried to scream through the tape, no sound came out, and she eventually passed out due to the blood loss. Her body had been completely mutilated, and she died the moment her father brought the axe down to her head.

Her father kept cutting her body into parts, which he then scattered everywhere through Chervil's woods, hoping they were never going to find out who it belonged to.

Raven's soul awesome in the Limbo realm, seeing the same forest she died on, but faded, black and white and so quiet she almost thought she'd gone deaf. She realized she was a ghost, or maybe not even that, her essence and soul were there but she had no body of her own.

And then she realized, her own body, her physical body, was missing and her father was nowhere to be seen, only the bloodied grass was left, which quickly reminded her what had happened. She knew she was mutilated, but she wanted to know where her body was. What did he do with it?! Where was it?!

She was horrified of returning home, and simply roamed the forest pitifully, wondering what she did to deserve this, why her father hated her so much and if her best friend would ever find out what had happened to her.

Eventually, as she floated around, she saw something hidden in some bushes, it smelled rotten but looked strangely familiar, was that an arm? *Her* arm? She was getting the hand of her current form and the excitement of finding a part of herself gave her the strength to materialize her part of her ghost body in order to take hold of her missing body part.

She searched and searched, finding more and more parts of her body in the most unexpected places, for her fingers, her limbs, even the two halves of her head, pitifully hidden away deep in the woods. She began to gather her body parts in the junkyard she used to hang out on when she was still alive, knowing no one would ever go there. She had an idea.

As a ghost, she had managed to possess those parts of her body, controlling them like she was still alive. So she searched throughout the junkyard, eventually finding an old sewing needle and old sewing supplies someone else had neglected. And soon enough, she got to work.

Meanwhile, her father simply claimed that his daughter had vanished and gone missing, fabricating a story about how she had run away from home, the search parties had been unsuccessful in finding her, let alone any of her body parts. He pulled a whole depression act, claiming that she had to be dead by now and that he was moving away from Chervil in order to deal with his supposed grief, never having to deal with the consequences of his horrible actions.

Raven hid from the search parties, herself and her own sewing project staying away from prying eyes, as much as that meant that her dad would probably suffer the consequences of his actions, she refused to let her body get out of her sight again. She was the one in control now.

Soon her body had been fully sewn back together, and her ghost managed to possess it fully. Once she did this, he realized that she could regenerate parts of herself, her decayed flesh covered up by dull coloured skin, her hair growing back and her missing eyes regenerating back. She saw her reflection for the first time. A broken girl stitched back up all by herself. She looked like a monster, and would certainly be hunted down if even spotted by the town's folk.

Although missing her best friend dearly, she couldn't visit him. She often saw him visiting their favourite spot in the junkyard, sitting down and just... cry. She never had the courage to approach him in her new form, and eventually, he too stopped showing up. He was moving on, and she figured she should do the same.

She was all alone in the junkyard, but it was fine. She never really minded the loneliness.

## **Trivia**

* Her last name "*Borraine*" is meant to be a play on the name "Lorraine", while also being like a funny zombie way of saying the word "*Brain*"
	+ This is a reference to the common joke about zombies eating brains.
		- ...Raven does not eat brains.

* She's named "Raven" because it just really sounded like a fitting "emo" name LOL I have no other reasoning
* She and Kurt were originally meant to be internet friends and they were never intended to have been classmates, let alone best friends before they both died.
