Raven Queen (Descendants/Ever After High)

## Raven Queen

**Princess Raven Queen** is the daughter of Misako Queen (the Evil Queen), the younger sister of Evie and one of the main characters of *The Kingdoms of Night* seasons.

After her sister abandoned the mission her mother had given her and her friends, the destiny of next Evil Queen fell to Raven, much to her discomfort, as she secretly supported and attended the Anti-Heroes Club and admired Evie. After Evie promised herself to held more kids of the isle, she made it her mission to help her sister get out. Raven and her best friend, Faybelle, were made special cases due to their sisters (Evie and Mal respectively) being heroes of Auradon and joined Dizzy, Celia, Squeaky and Squirmy as they were brought to Auradon.

In the destiny conflict, she is on the Rebel side, just like her sister and is one of its younger leaders. Her reasons for this is simply because does she enjoy the prospect of the punishment that she, as a villain, is destined to. Resolving only her own problem already takes a lot of her energy and as such, she cannot help others make their own personal decisions. She is currently in a relationship with Dexter Charming, a fellow Rebel.

## History

Raven was born to Misako Queen three years after her older sister Evie on the isle.

## Personality

Contrary to occasional belief at Auradon Prep, Raven Queen is not evil or even so much as mean. She is kind, smart, extremely loyal to her friends, and considerate with a sarcastic side born from frustration over her unjust reputation. She also is somewhat of a loner, preferring her small group of friends and imaginary friends to make friends to bolster her reputation as her mother wishes. This causes her to have been outcast on the Isle due to making herself seem strange and difficult to engage with by her peers, school staff, and her own mother, leading to her having few friends besides imaginary ones and when people try to socialize with her, she is skeptical about their intentions, but not so much that it limits her ability to make new friends. However, her skepticism, combined with her harsh early life, where emotions like fear or pain are viewed as weakness causes Raven to often keep herself silent with an unemotional air around her, keeping her face expressionless until she learns to trust them. Raven loves music, she is often seen with her headphones on and plays the guitar, piano, and sings when no one is around, and is the leader of the Midnight Isles Band. One of her favorite artists is Tailor Quick. Raven is a sneaky, smart, and ruthless girl who is a natural-born leader and skilled at artistic things, especially spray paint. She has a deep love for her sister and BFFs and will do anything to protect them, viewing them as her family. Raven also loves Dragon Games and, like all VKs, supports her national team. At her core, Raven is hard-working and dedicated to building her future. She's intelligent, but, due to being raised on the strangeness of the isle, Raven thinks both in rational thought and logic and abstract creativity, and is an effective leader. Raven is also a bookworm, often being seen in the school library or leaning against the lockers outside her next class, her nose in a book. Raven is an inclusive and optimistic Isle girl who falls in love with an Auradonian, Dexter.

Raven is determined to be who she wants to be regardless of the opposition she receives, even if said opposition has legitimate backing. She is proven to be remarkably headstrong, and her excessive determination and refusal to show conformity lead to her social life and school performance stagnating. However, she is not entirely self-assured as she actually has underlying self-esteem issues mostly regarding school, calling herself a screw-up and suggesting she belongs in the trash. Raven does not tolerate when others take advantage of their positions in life, regularly standing up for herself, and those who cannot do so themselves or inspiring them to as seen against the likes of Boscha and Milton Grimm's absolute insistence that one must follow their destiny. However, after she is possessed by the Dragon Lord, her ability to stand up for herself is nearly-shattered and she begins suffering from a lack of confidence, keeping silent in situations she feels it isn't her place to speak up and falling prey to Boscha's taunting, and, despite her friends continuously telling her it was not her fault, as she had been kidnapped and imprisoned by Darkness for her summoning ceremony before being plunged into the Dragon Lord power so the dark sorcerer could take control of her body, referring to her transformation as her turning into a "possessed raging dragon-demon". However, she is still somewhat socially awkward, and she exhibits an intense fear of her Dragon Lord-possessed alter ego. Her fears do not seem to be completely unfounded, as The Dragon Lord does appear to attempt to control her when she attempts to embrace her magic. After discovering her true power and beginning to search for answers, Raven regains her confidence and self-assurance and begins to forge her path so she can be a true guardian of sorcery.

Raven subconsciously tends to stroke her hair in a variety of uneasy situations. She can still get anxious, especially when she doesn't know something or someone is in serious trouble. She places a great deal of importance on her Dragon Diary and feels inadequate without it as it was the only thing she has of her mother right now and is one of the few things she has left of her deceased father. Raven is very nurturing and caring and is the best at mothering orphaned baby dragons that they come across. Raven does give everyone - even Boscha and Magnus Finke - the benefit of the doubt. However, this positivity is not eternal and will admit her error. She is a planner and favors strategy over impulse, unlike Faybelle's occasional impulsiveness. Despite still occasionally being plagued by self-doubt and feelings of guilt, she has managed to resolve multiple conflicts using her natural charisma. She knows how to offer moral support and rein in others if they step out of line, reminding them of what's important. despite this, she is able to respect others' decisions when they want to let things be for now. Raven possessed a brilliant mind that rivaled that of even Princess Fader and Petra. She has been shown to be excellent at topics like math and chemistry, commenting that it is similar to spell work. She's a good enough academic to face Petra Kaprasdaughter in a math off. Though Petra manages to beat her, it is just barely.

She seems to have a rocky relationship with her mother and enjoys being herself and refuses to be like her mother, although, until Evie turned to the side of good, she wore a facade of a slightly vain girl for her mother's sake. During one of her mother's "social parties", Raven also acts coldly superior to others, claiming that as a Queen, she, like her family, only associates with "a select few", in order to make her mother happy, but she drops this facade when her mother is not around. She is loyal and authoritative when she wants to be.

Raven is fiercely loyal to her people and the Isle of the Lost and will do whatever it takes for VKs to be accepted. She always stands up for what's right and is compassionate, but also impulsive at times. When she sets her mind to something, it is very hard to change it, even when others say she can't do it due to her being a VK. Because of her isle home, Raven is naturally used to the hardship of the world and is skilled in sowing, sword fighting, mechanics, magical science experiments, athletic prowess, riding, and animal care, among other things. All in all, she is a good and smart girl who cares for her friends and fellow VKs to the point of being willing to start a revolution for them.

While she is possessed by the spirit of the Dragon Lord, Raven becomes sadistic, ruthless, cruel, selfish, power-hungry, malicious, cunning, charismatic, vengeful, vindictive, arrogant, confident in his/her own abilities, intolerable to failure from his/her servants and above all, utterly determined to bring forth eternal nightfall with a loathing of all things associated with "his" "brother". None of this can be blamed on Raven, however, as her body had been taken over by the Dragon Lord, causing her to literally *become* the Dragon Lord. Though she retains her cunning, determination, sarcasm, resourcefulness, and strength of will, all of these are bent to the Dragon Lord's views and to darkness. Under the Dragon Lord's possession, Raven also becomes more poise and confidence in "her "own abilities, her confidence nearly bordering to the point of arrogance. She also retains her desire to learn magic, but this desire so consumes her that she is willing to allow her new magic to annihilate a world and all its inhabitants. However, during her time under the Dark Lord's control, Raven was able to briefly throw off her possession and halt the Dragon Lord in his path of destruction twice, a display of extraordinarily strong willpower and strength of mind, as the only other person able to throw off the Dragon Lord's mental control of her body was Yellow, and even she, like Raven, could only regain her sense for more than a few seconds before forcefully succumbing to the Dragon Lord's mental control. After the Dragon Lord leaves her body, traces of his knowledge and magic remain in her, which she has learned to use to her will.

When she is without her empathy, Raven acts more like her grandmother and (formerly) Jörmungand, retaining her wit and being given concern for certain Dark One and Black Army members. She also retained her charismatic skills, delivering a speech to the operatives of the Dark Ones under her command that ended in cheers. However, the biggest change is that she is fully willing to murder anyone if she feels like it. It shows when she kicks and nearly sends her friend Justin to his doom if not for Shadowsan intervening and rescuing him mid-fall. Even her attachment to her parents and sister is gone; except for a burning desire to seek revenge against Shadowsan when her mind and memories were reprogrammed to make her believe that he was a traitor and was responsible for her father's death.

## Appearance

Raven has long, wavy ebony black hair with purple and blue streaks tied into a single braid at the back, and parted at the top to back room for her silvery spiked tiara which is formed to look like two dragons arching their necks back. She has violet, magenta, and purple-maroon streaks in her black hair, fair skin, or rather, pale skin, and purple eyes. She has long, thick lashes that go into a wing at the end and so do her shadow, dark purple lipstick, and light-purple eye shadow. After her fight with Darkness, Raven gains a small scar over her left eye. She usually wears gothic clothing, along with a gray jacket. Raven wears a black and purple top with a silver shoulder-pad-for-sleeves holder with silver feathered sleeves and a high, feathery collar, and a purple pendant holding the cloak in place; her dress also has a silver belt held by a single chain embellished with a raven skull pendant on the end and a series of spiked bracelets which are connected to her purple ring by chains, and she wears grey leggings and open-toed short-wedged-high-heeled boots with silver buckles and an opening in the backs for shoes. Her black top shimmers purple and green and bears a pair of puffy, blood-red sleeves that reach down halfway to her elbows. Above her sleeves and below her shoulder pads hand a tuft of brown spotted fake fur. Her skirt is a purple top layer trimmed with black lace and a frilly mesh underskirt, two layers in purple and lilac. The top layer of her skirt is tipped with cleaned, rinsed torn nets sewn and cut in a fishnet layer style while the upper part of the dress itself is emblazoned with stitches in the shape of thorn-covered roses. She is often seen with her headphones, which are designed with cloud-like outlines of black and white and tipped with several spikes, around her neck. Raven's type of style is noticed as classy, yet edgy, spunky, and with a hint of rebel rocker. She enjoys splashing some black and white accents in her clothing, and ornate patterns with musical notes sown into her dress. A small, indigo hooded cloak flows from her shoulders, where it interlaced with her silvery-feathered collar and reaches down to the beginnings of her skirt, and is decorated with images of apple-sprouting thorny branches surrounding a black mirror. Twisting around her left hand is a black-and-green metal watch shaped like intertwining snakes. Unbeknownst to most, this watch is also a weapon as not only does it have retractable razor-sharp edges, but, at her command, the snakes will come alive and attack her enemies, twisting around them and morphing into diamond-hard chains. Raven carries a black and silver clutch bag with a silver mirror on the front. Raven often wears a pair of deep violet and silver crown glasses with a small crown-like tip.

While attending school (Dragon Hall, Auradon Prep, or Hexside), Raven's uniform long-sleeve shirt with a green and purple stripe on her arms and blue and red on her leggings, along with the Dragon Hall's casual part-uniform: a gray tunic with a dark gray belt, cowl, and boots. When attending an important Dragon Hall ever, such as the Unity Games, Raven, like all, dresses in the school's uniform: a reddish-purple blazer, a dark-blue bow tie, black shoes, long-legged black leggings, a reddish-purple tartan skirt and a small, shield-shaped, light blue badge emblazoned with a black lightning bolt surrounded by a coiling dragon. When participating in the Triwitching Tournament Games, she later wears a black, leather jacket with rolled-up sleeves that had an orange stripe on each one, over a light cerulean shirt-dress with a silk, yellow skirt underneath it. Along with that, she sported light blue jeans on her legs, and black, high heel boots over her feet.

During Hexide and Obsidian Prep's meeting party, Raven is dressed in a magenta buttoned shirt-dress above a white, collared shirt designed by Apple for her. The dress is emblazoned with reddish-gold stars in a starlit sky design and lined with black fabric and is covered with reddish-gold stars while a silver-buckled black belt circles Raven's waist. During the party, she also wears strapped magenta high-heeled shoes lined with lighter pink triangles.

When she participates in the Tri-Cross Relay, Raven wears a deep turquoise-blue woman's motorcycle jacket coat that contributes to her slender figure, once again made by Apple White. Two tall, flame-like pillars frame the slim waist of her jacket, while two upturning purple shoulder pads protect her shoulders from harm, stylized by a frame of indigo feathers stretching between the pads and her color. Elbow and knee pads of the same style protect her lower arms and legs, the knee pads adding well to her magenta biker pants, which are decorated by an inner stitch fiery pillar on each side and the light blue-laced high purple shoes, which are decorated with Raven's signature flames, lightning bolts, and stars. Raven also wears light purple gloves and a purple modular motorcycle helmet decorated with red flames and who's back part of the face visor is shaped like bird-like feathered wings. The helmet is stylized so Raven's hair can fall in a long ponytail.

When participating in the Dragon Games, Raven's hair is styled into a straight high side ponytail tied together with silver cuffs and chains. A few locks are tied to the side of her head and she has teal streaks. Raven has mauve lips, brown eyebrows, and smoky lavender eyeshadow. She wears a shimmery dark V-neck green top with matching black-purple tights. She also wears silver shoulder plates attached to a necklace and belt, holding an asymmetrical mesh veil around her waist and purple and silver gladiator-style heels. She accessorizes with a matching silver arm cuff.

While attending Camp Everfall, Raven dresses in a white three-quarter sleeved t-shirt with a darkish-pink stripe extending from a purple neckline that envelops all of the sleeves and emblazoned with a small circular picture of a sunrise-lit lake bordered in purple, brownish-grey camp short, a brown belt with a buckle shaped like a flying raven, middle-length red socks and red-laced running shoes.

When attending the Hexside Moonstar masquerade ball celebration, Raven has her hair pulled up in a bun before letting it fall in a large curled ponytail, with several strands of her hair glittering silver, and wears pale purple eyeshadow. During this, she dresses in a sparkling purple one-piece gown with glittered crinoline and fabric. To the waist is purple with silver heart wing patterns, ending in black mesh. Below is purple with silver lines, also ending in black mesh. She wears spike-studded, bright-purple shoes with silver scales on the front and black gloves. A silver high ruffle collar rises to the beginning of her hair, invoking the dragon. Like most of the students, she also decks out in a silver, violet, and purple dragon-based masquerade mask adorned with several turquoise jewels, as well as various bracelets with chain patterns extending to her elbows and a black and spike-studded purse.

During the Hexside Spring Festival, Raven dresses in a special outfit designed by Apple. Raven's front hair is dyed in pink and teal layering. She wears teal eye makeup and dark red lipstick. Raven wears a fuchsia necklace with roses in the shades of pink and purple with black leaves. Her top has elbow-length sleeves and is patterned with black, white, and varying shades of purple roses and apples. The top goes down to a puffy skirt and sweeps out the back. Underneath that skirt is a white mini-skirt with black rose stems and thorns. She wears pink to-black gradient leggings and black boots with thorn straps and pink apple-shaped adornments. She accessorizes with white, black, dark blue, deep purple, pale pink, and fuchsia pink roses as her headband, silvery rose earrings, and a silver ring cuff-on bracelet

During the True Hearts Celebration, Raven has her hair straight and her bangs pulled back. She wears light purple eye shadow and light purple lipstick. Raven wears a light purple nightgown with black, white, and dark purple ravens printed on it, and dark purple and black ruffles attached at the bottom. She sports a dark purple robe over her nightgown complete with black lace at the end of the sleeves. Her slippers are black, have a shattered mirror on the front, and have spiked heels. Raven also wears a set of silver spike studded headphones connected by a wire to her black-and-purple Mirrorphone.

When Raven is possessed by the Dragon Lord, she retains most of her appearance, but her eyes, after a flash of red, turn solid, glassy black that seems to swim with dark, horrific secrets. Her appearance also takes on a darker quality, with her clothes, hair, and skin darkening as if covered by a shadow. Meanwhile, while her appearance remains more or less the same, she is encased in an enormous, transparent green orb extending in vine-like lines while the Dragon Lord's draconic-like shadow solidifies around it, with Raven's orb acting as something like a heart to the shadow's body, as well as a mouthpiece for the Dragon Lord, who can use her to direct magic and words. After Raven is pulled from the orb, she is de-possessed and regains her normal appearance.
