**Rachel Roth** (Born **Raven Azarath**) is one of the deuteragonist of the television series *Titans*. She is the main protagonist of Season 1, one of the titular deuteragonists of Season 2 and a major character in Season 3.

She is a half-human, half-demon teenager who is the daughter of the evil demon Trigon and his follower Angela Azarath who goes by the alias **Raven** among her team. After the murder of her adoptive mother, Melissa Roth, she comes under the protection of Dick Grayson, Gar Logan and Koriand'r who team up to protect her from the Organization, a group of fanatic followers of Trigon. Throughout the series, she fights both her inner darkness and demonic powers, which she uses for good to be a superhero.

Raven was born Rachel Roth on February 19, 2005 to Angela Azarath and Trigon; however, a woman, Melissa Roth, rescued the child when she learned Angela and Trigon's intent with their daughter. She took her to a convent to protect her from her biological father, adopted Raven and changed her name to Rachel Roth.

## Trivia

* Rachel's mother Angela, is evil and actually had Rachel with Trigon with her consent when in the comics, they received a child together against Angela's will.
* Rachel is the youngest of the newly formed Titans. In the original series it was Gar instead.
* An arc of Rachel having to face trials in 400 consecutive days on Azarath to defeat Trigon was abandoned after the episode "Trigon" was changed from the Season 1 finale to the Season 2 premiere. Because of this, Rachel easily defeated her father by disintegrating him and struggling with control over her powers the rest of Season 2.
* Similar to Dick, Rachel dislikes pineapple, at least on pizza.
* Like Dawn, Rachel is a fan of Game of Thrones with the addition of Full House.
* While not wearing her traditional costume in the comics, Rachel does wear colors associated with it, such as black, violet and blue and her hoodie in season 1 resembles her cloak in the comics.
* Her short hair in Season 1 resembles her 2003 incarnation. Starting season 2, Rachel has a gem on her forehead, further giving her the appearance of her cartoon counterpart.
* In the first season, it is shown that Rachel is wearing a ruby pendant shaped like a diamond, highly resembling the gem on her forehead from the original comics.
* Like Kory and Gar, Rachel resembles her comic book counterpart and 2003 iteration whenever her powers are active, i.e. the grey skin and black eyes.
* During the events of Season 2, Rachel is sixteen years old. However, in real life, Rachel's acted, Teagan Croft was only thirteen when she began portraying Raven.
* Not counting Dick's teammates from before 2013, Raven was the first Titan and character to deduce that Dick was secretly Robin, followed by Tim Drake
* *Titans* marks the live-action debut of Raven, as all previous incarnations (Raven from Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!DC Super Hero Girls, etc.) have only been in animation
