Raven Queen (Descendants/Ever After High)/Relationships

## Family

“*I'm a Queen. We only associate with a select few. Keep annoying me though, I'm happy to select fewer.*”
―The superior air Raven puts on for her mother and family's sakes

Raven was a member of the Queen Family through her mother, a family that (in her mother's line), were radical Villain-blood supremacists and social aristocrats who were well known for turning out some of the worst beings in history and being heavily associated with the Dark Arts. Due to Raven being the second child, she was not condemned to follow in her mother's footsteps. Until Evie left and the destiny of become a villainous tyrant fell onto Raven's shoulders, a destiny she did not want.

Despite disliking her family legacy, Raven cares about her family and mother's pride, causing her to put on the superior air her mother expected of her for quite a while to keep her family's repetition pure.

### Misako Queen (aka Evil Queen) (mother)

   Despite the pressure her mother put on her to become the next Evil Queen, Raven and her mother Misako (aka the Evil Queen) have a close relationship, Raven missing her mother and keeping a locket with her picture with her at all times, showing her affection for her dam, despite their opposite views of the world. Like Evie, Raven was taught how to apply blush before she could talk and instilled with a need to find a prince to be happy, although, unlike Evie, she never believed it. Though Misako cares for Raven, she disliked her daughter's loner attitude, continuously telling Raven she must grow up and begin making influential friends instead of her small gang of friends and imaginary friends only she can see, though this was also out of concern for her mental health. The Evil Queen eventually accepted that her daughter would not follow in her footsteps and gave Raven and Dexter her blessings, but when Raven isn't looking she gives Dexter the *I'm watching you gesture*, showing her feeling of overprotectiveness for Raven. With Raven and Evie's help, the Evil Queen even built a new life and found within her a passion for archaeology. She is also deeply concerned for her daughter, especially now that she has lost contact with her (the portal between Auradon and the Midnight Isles closing). Later on, after it appeared Darkness had killed Raven, Misako was inflamed into using the darkest of her spells, trying and failing to kill her daughter's 'killer' and was delighted when she found out she survived, performing the whispering spell with Raven, the spirit of her father and Evie to end the blood moon eclipse.

"*Raven Queen, I know what your trying to do … And its working, get on before I changed my mind*"
- The Evil Queen seeing through and expressing pride in her daughter's way with words
Prior to arriving at ICARIS, Raven and her mother went on numerous scientific expeditions and adventures together, which they both deeply enjoyed. The two also enjoy playing their game, 'Vikings' together and Raven knows exactly what to say to convince her mother to let her come along, which Misako admits is working. The Evil Queen is extremely proud of her daughter and cares deeply for her, but is also strict when it comes to Raven's occasional troublemakings.

Raven was one of the people the Evil Queen showed affection for, being terrified when Raven did not awaken after her ordeal in the Spirit World and remained next to her daughter's body until she awoke.

### Evie Queen (older sister)

Raven and Evie love each other deeply and care for the other more than anyone, promising to always care for each other, even when they were apart. However, after Evie decided to remain in Auradon, she attempted to forget her isle roof, although she held a concern for Raven. Despite knowing that her sister wasn't coming back, Raven retained her love for her sister, growing angry at her mother's occasional spiteful words involving Evie and her friends, causing her to escape more and more often to her own best friends. Evie also urgently asked Mal how Raven was doing when she returns to the island to find Mal, being unable to see her herself due to the possibility of her mother finding out, and laughs when Mal tells her that Raven had helped do her hair and helped her pick a new outfit, but not before trying to give her a mass-blush makeover, which prompted a bark of laughter from Evie. Evie was disappointed to find that Raven had returned home before they could see each other at the Curl & Dye Saloon and was determined to help her sister of the isle and out of their mother's grasp, which she successfully fulfills. Like their mother, Evie is deeply concerned for her sister, especially now she has lost contact with Raven and her friends and cannot find her (Raven currently being on the Midnight Archipelago, which is now sealed from Auradon), being distraught.

After Raven is incapacitated and taken to the North Pole for recovery, Evie and her mother both accompanied the youngest of the Queens for two weeks and Evie continued to write to her, despite Raven never writing back due to her uncertainty about how to put her situation in words.

### Dare Matsdotter (father; deceased)

“*One day you will be old enough to leave the nest and fly. Then you will find that there is more to life than a forced destiny. The world is wide, Raven, and full of wonders*
*”*

―Dare Matsdotter to a young Raven

Dare Matsdotter is Raven's father and it is through him that Raven has inherited this strange magic, as well as her ebony black hair. However Raven did not know her father due to him having vanished soon after her birth, causing her mother to never take about him. Unbeknownst to any of them, Dare had in fact left them in order to keep them safe, as the Forsworn, who were hunting down all spellweavers of the Midnight Isles that had not submitted to a Coven system, were searching for him and might possibly kill or take away Raven if they learn't of her potential. To further ensure Raven's safety, Dare cast a spell to lock away her Northuldra powers. This spell was slowly weaken, however, as Raven entered the Midnight Isles and broke fully when she reached the Enchanted Forests. Dare eventually died searching for answers to stopping the enemy, having been struck down by his friend, Mikah, for the Staff of Tier, and because of this, Raven unknowingly grew up half-orphaned. Despite not knowing him, Raven inherited more from Foster than Evie in her appearance, making her look slightly odd. The truth was later learn't when Darkness recognized Dare's appearance in Raven, identifying him to Raven and revealing Raven's unknown parentage. However, Dare had been framed by Mikah after the traitorous captain of the STAR OF HOPE had struck him down, making it so it appeared that it had been *Dare* who had slaughtered Mikah and all of the STAR's crew and reawakened the Hungry Isle of Tier, causing his name to be hated by Resistance members and Midnight Islanders alike. After learning of her appearance, however, Raven thinks of him with mingled pain and bitterness, angry that she had lost any hope that one of her parents may have been a hero and the loss of her dream to be a trader. When she finds out the truth, however, she is able to let her bitterness go, forgive her father, and remember him with fondness, as well as revealing the hero Dare had actually been.

Raven eventually began hearing a voice calling her and, upon following it to Ahtohallan, learned it was in fact her father calling to Gail and watches as flashes of Dare Matsdotter's life appear across the wall, before the spirit of her father appears before her, watching in pride as his daughter fully masters her natural powers and becomes the fifth spirit of the Lost Isles. Raven is shocked by this revelation but also proud and, as she watches the sun set, Raven remarks how she hoped her father was at peace, wherever he was. Despite this, Raven briefly left the Team to mourn the loss of her father and find solace is silence, as well as to connect to her powers in peace, meditating in the Golden Peaks while her mother (now interested in archaeology) and sister investigated a nearby Fangpyre Graveyard.

When they meet in spirit, Dare told his daughter how proud he was of her and called her and Evie his pride and joys, encouraging her and telling her that he believed in her. In short, Raven becomes Dare Foster Matsdotter's proud heir and is determined to finish what her father started and defeat Darkness and her master. She also remembers her father's advice that the world is wide and full of wonders to encourage herself to be a sorceress and trader.

### Nevermore (pet dragoness)

Nevermore is affectionate towards Raven, growling with joy when she sees her and can sometimes be slightly attention-grabbing (and seeking), taking pleasure when Raven scratches her underwings and is always greatly excited at any promises of Raven to play soon. She is very loyal to Raven, always ready to protect her from even the greatest threat and acts as her constant companion. Because of this bond, Raven and Nevermore become one of the best at Dragonsdale soon after the Dragon Games are reintroduced. Nevermore, alongside King, as been with Raven since her youngest years. When Raven went to seek peace through meditation among the Golden Peaks, Nevermore was the only one who remained with her.

## Romances

### Dexter Charming

Raven's priority in life is where her story is and should be going, which leaves no energy or time to spend on dating. Dexter Charming has a crush on her, but she is oblivious to this. In "True Hearts Day", Dexter expresses his liking for her through a poem and she eventually figures out that he wrote it. In "Cupid Comes Clean... Kinda", it is shown that the Raven and Dexter have mutual feelings for each other, though neither learn't about the others, as they were both distracted as Cupid calls. Then, in "Chosen with Care" she got asked out on a date by him and said yes. In "Just Sweet", Raven expressed her excitement for Dexter asking her out at last, which might indicate that she was waiting for him to ask her out on a date. In "Date Night", she and Dexter go on their first date to the movies. Dexter expressed worried concern for her "Way Too Wonderland" and hugged her when he finally found her, acting very excited about it. According to Truth or Hair, Raven and Dexter were spotted having dinner together at the Green Bean Garden in Book End. In Cerise and the Beast, Dexter asks Raven out on a date to the movies again, and she says yes. They are now a couple, which many see as easily believable, as both are Rebels, which others see it as ironic, as Dexter's brother, Daring, broke up with Apple, the girl supposed to be Raven's arch-nemesis. Alongside Faybelle, Dexter was the only two Raven wrote to during her months of incapacitation.

## Allies

### Faybelle Faery

Raven and Faybelle, like their older sisters, are BFFs, and have been friends for even longer than Mal and Evie. Both are nearly always seen together or near each other in classes. Both enjoy swapping spells, playing pranks, creating potions and rebelliously wreaking havoc on the Isle together with the rest of their gang. As Faybelle rushes to see her mother, Raven covers up for her and willingly finishes her homework for her so she wouldn't be late. After Maleficent reveals herself and Faybelle storms of, Raven is the first to follow her, shooting the Mistress of Evil a suspicious look. During Parents Day, Raven helps Faybelle find the perfect outfit to impress her mother and laughs alongside as Faybelle's mom scares the living daylights out of the three goats family.

After Raven was captured by the Order of Shadows, Faybelle was left devastated, knowing that to be a prisoner who Darkness wished to recruit was worse than death. When Darkness contacts Faybelle via a Dreamvisitor, Faybelle attempts desperately to bargain her BFF's freedom, but is met with sneers, Darkness not desiring anything she attempted to offer. Later on, as the gang leads a desperate and daring rescue, Faybelle leads, fighting her way through Darkness's men to get to the Keep where Raven is being held and risks her life fighting Darkness (a dark sorceress even more powerful in the Dark Arts than Faybelle's mother). Similarly, Raven saves her friends life, risking her own to help Faybelle and the rest escape Darkness's stronghold. Even after Raven briefly parted ways with her friends to travel the seas, she and Faybelle retained contact, becoming pen pals, with Raven writing to Faybelle daily with the events. When Raven returns, Faybelle welcomes her back with open arms.

When Raven left two weeks after her possession at the Dragon Lord's hands, hoping to advance her recovery, Faybelle was willing to accompany her to the North Pole. Raven rejected the proposal by noting that the few weeks she would spend by herself would be good for her. However, the recovery did not progress as swiftly as hoped, leading the young Queen to remain there for much longer than initially expected. During that time, Faybelle wrote numerous letters to Raven, telling Raven that she and her friends missed her and that the Isles was not the same without her, as well as keeping Raven up-to-date with how her life was going. Although she also received letters from the rest of her friends, Raven wrote back only to Dexter and Faybelle to confide in her about her fears of being unable to make a full recovery, stating that it was easier to talk to the two of them about it all than to the others, trusting romance and best friend not to say anything to the others.

### Lizzie Hearts

Raven and Lizzie have been friends since their first school year, and the two are firm friends. The pair sometimes butts headson taking over the 'leader' role of the ground since Lizzie believes she's a natural born leader. Despite Lizzie's occasional pompous attitude, the two get along well and Lizzie is willing to step back and let Raven take command. The two often hang out with each other and the rest of the gang. Raven is also slightly exasperated/amused by Lizzie's constant threats of beheading, as she constantly has to remain the Queen of Heart's daughter she doesn't have the minions to carry out the order unless she wishes to wield the axe herself.

### Madeline Hatter

Madeline was the first Auradonen to greet Raven and consequently, the two are firm friends. Madeline was originally supposed to be Raven, Faybelle and Briar's roommate, until Apple White requested that she be roommates with Raven instead. After the group become members of the Jade Winglet, Madeline joins them. Both of them are Rebels and Madeline often tells the Daughter of the Evil Queen no one though she was evil, despite the occasional display to the contrary. Raven also supports Maddie for school president and was horrified when she saw Maddie after her wonder had been drained.

### Melody Piper

Like Lizzie, Raven and Melody have been friends since their first Dragon Hall year and are both members of the Sunrise Stars. After Melody grows discouraged due to her music causing chaos in the school, Raven convinced her that instead of trying her hardest to be like her father, she should follow his advice and become what *she* dreams to be; a DJ Star.

### Ginger Breadhouse

Raven and Ginger are on close terms, having been friends since a young age after meeting each other when Raven's mother travelled to Ginger's mother's shop to order some Gingerbread. Raven later helps Ginger prove to the Auradons her cookies are just tasty, not poisoned, using her sister's influence to convince Not-So-Little-Jack-Horner to travel to Auradon Prep to sample Ginger's cooking. She later displays a belief that Ginger would win the Chief Showdown hands down.

### Justin Hook

While the two don't have much interaction, they still got along. She often had to remind him to stay focused. She was annoyed by his impulsiveness in stealing on of Cruella's cloaks for their Thievery Assignment in Year 3. Despite this, she clearly cares for him, cheering him on during the SeigeBall Game between Dragon Hall (which they both attend) and Witch School. Justin has shown to be protective of her and tends to act like an older brother figure.

### Kyle King

While the two don't have much interaction, they still got along. she often had to remind him to stay focused such as when he was distracted by video games when they were supposed to be discussing where the scepter of Maleficent was located after Audrey stole it. She cheered for him when he and Justin won the Tourney competition and before that, the SeigeBall Game between Dragon Hall and Witch School.

### Cerise Hood

Cerise was one of the first Auradons Raven befriended and the two trust each other greatly. Raven and Maddie are the only people she has shared the truth about her family with, showing how much she trusts them. Both Raven and Cerise are Rebels and Raven is able to convince Cerise to show of her ears and keeps her secret by pretending they are fake. Cerise values Raven's friendship with her and her sister Ramona and is one of her classmates and roommates in Year 2 of Auradon Prep.

### Kitty Cheshire

Despite being exasperated by her fellow Rebel's prankster attitude and their different views of their paths (Kitty wants to be like her mother, while Raven wants to forge a completely different destiny), she is still friendly towards her and the two are close friends and are often seen talking with each other, Kitty sharing Raven's love of pranks, although on a whole different level.

### Apple White

Despite their destinies tells them they are arch-enemies, Apple was one of the first to greet Raven and the two soon became friends, despite Raven's mother's protest and fury. Apple is Raven's future nemesis, roommate and former opposition in the Destiny Conflict, yet despite their different opinions causing them to clash dramatically on a number of subjects, they still chose to consider each other friends and continued to care for the others' well-being. However, as time passed, Raven's influence began to cause Apple to question if she truly wants to follow her destiny if it meant her friends would get hurt and if it meant she had to fall into a slumber for an unknown amount of time, possibly years, until she eventually switched over to the side of the Rebels.

### Princess Fern

Raven gets along well with Princess Ivy's daughter, who, despite not being imprisoned on the Isle, is a VK, as her mother is a *reformed* villain. Raven is impressed by Fern's butterfly powers and adored her silvery dragonfly designs that cover her black dress and the two attend Sowing Club and Care of Magical Creatures class together. A shy young sorceress who runs a animal research center in the Silverwood Forest, she spends most of her time studying animals so that she may one day become a vet and help them out medically. She's very kind but can have a mean streak when somebody pushes her buttons or hurts her friends.

### Hunter Huntsman

Raven and Hunter appear to get along with each other, as they are both Rebels and Raven was delighted that Hunter and Ashlynn decided to rewrite their destinies and uncover their secret relationship.

### Ashlynn Charming

Raven is clearly on good terms with Cinderella's daughter, expressing a delight that Ashlynn and Hunter had decided to rewrite their destinies by revealing their secret relationship. Ashlynn later helps Raven prepare for her date with Dexter and Raven displays deep concern once she learn't Ashlynn and the others were lost in the Dark Forests.

### Baba Yaga

Raven is friendly with her school advisor, although she is sometimes annoyed by Baba Yaga's insistence on letting in her dark side. Despite her hope of Raven fulfilling her destiny, Baba Yaga is supportive of the Rebels' and, therefor, Raven's ideals of making your own destiny.

### Hellfire Death

Hellfire and Raven share the opinion that they are better off writing their own destinies than signing in the Storybook of Legends. Like she does with Lizzie, Raven sometime has to act as a voice of reason to Hellfire's fiery anger. Although Raven can become irritated by Hellfire's prideful nature and they argue quite a bit, she loves her anyway. She knows that she can always depend on the daughter of Atropos to protect and defend her, and can often share a laugh with her friend. Raven finds that she can relate to Hellfire some of the time as well. She admires Hellfire's courage, but Raven herself is more of a strategic thinker whilst Hellfire usually behaves rashly and without thought.

### Passerine Nightingale

Passerine enjoys listening to Raven play guitar, as it gives her a break from all the opera music she has to endure, and also due to them not wanting to follow their destinies. Both girls enjoy the feeling being free to forge their own pathway in life and being Rebels.

### Doug

Raven gets along with her sister's fiance and accepts him as part of her family.

### Cedar Wood

A true friend to a rebel named Raven Queen, through and through, and are often seen with each other in the Rebel crowds, both supporting Madelyn Hatter's campaign. Cedar also cheers for Raven's refusal to sign her Scroll of Destinies.

### Queen Cricket

Raven and Cricket are close friends. Though initially hostile towards the young HiveWing due to the hostility between Pantala and Auradon, after it was revealed that Cricket and most HiveWings was not like her aunt, Raven accepted Cricket as an ally and friend. She was delighted to see Cricket again and was intrigued by Cricket's new appearance. The two work together to make their way through Wasp Hive, Raven trusting Cricket's judgement and knowledge of the Hive as they try to find Wasp's throne room. Eventually, Raven and Cricket were the only two members of the Rescue Team left uncaptured, causing them to make a plan in which Cricket shapeshifted into Raven to trick Wasp, although the tyrannical Queen of the HiveWings and SilkWings saw through this and exposes her niece. Later on, while confronting Wasp and her warriors, Raven told them how the young HiveWing had left the Hives and made friends, allowing her to share love and no longer needed to feed. When Wasp attempts to drain Cricket of her magic, Cricket, at Raven urgings, unleashed her magic on Wasp, allowing her to metamorph into the HiveWings' original, lost form and prompting nearly all of Wasp's followers to do the same and identifying Wasp as a secret servant of the Dragon Lord. Later on, as Raven's Rescue Team companions contemplate how Raven wants to celebrate her initiation, Cricket offers to throw her a "HiveWing Gourd Fest" before assuring them that it was more fun than it sounded with a awkward grin.

The two often attend the Rescue Team's Monthly get-together and apparently write to each other. Raven and Faybelle later travel to a renamed Cricket Hive to help her deal with the presence of the dread Maulwurf and help Cricket convince her cousin, Pharynx to accept love. The pair later aid each other in fighting the Order of Shadows.

### Excellent Charming

Rebecca as an originally aligned Royal didn't really have that much interaction with Raven but being fascinated by her powers, sought to get to know her. Becca has always been in awe of Raven and what she has done, so Royalle one day introduced Raven to Becca. Now and then, they'll bump into each other in the hallways and when they do, they'll chat a bit but because they don't really share any similar classes aside from Muse-ic, they're not very close but Becca hopes that she'd get to know Raven more some day. Despite this, the two see each other as friends and Excellent is now beginning to reconsider the path and is know a Roybel.

### Huli Shang

Huli and Raven are close friends, both being Rebels and want to forge a different pathway in life to the one planned out for them. Both relate to each other, both having had to endure similar forms of abuse albeit at a much higher level. Due to the dislike leveled at them by some more prejudice Royals, to two, though they do not hate all Royals for how some treat them, still have more than a few things to say about the Royals and the way they treat the Rebels.

### Blondie Lockes

Though the two do not show much interaction, despite Blondie Lockes's occasional noisy actions sometimes annoying her, Raven and Blondie are still friends. When trying to prepare for a date with Dexter, Blondie is seen to by Raven who is in need of her assistance when it comes to planning out the perfect date. However she gets carried away in both her MirrorCast cupcake reviewing and critique on several boys. Raven snaps at her, which completely transforms her attire into a theme of her MirrorCast show, to her delight, looking at the positive side. She assures Raven that she'll be simply perfect on her date.

### Sheevers

Though Sheevers's was an old friend of her father, as Dare had vanished soon after Raven's birth and as Raven was raised on the Isle while Sheevers's lived in the Midnight Archipelago, they did not know each other. Raven accidentally stumbled upon Master Sheevers in his hide-away, when she was trying to escape from the cellar she had been trapped in. Sheevers was alarmed and afraid to see her, as he was afraid that she had come to take him back to the palace, but as soon as Raven assured him that this was not the case, he calmed down. He related his goal to the young VK girl, who took pity on him and gave him the lantern she had received earlier in a trade, in return for a safe passage out. Sheevers agreed, and gave Raven a blue glazed candlestick in addition, thinking that the trade of the lantern for the way out was inadequate without it. He also gave Raven a receipt of sorts, so that she could prove that it was a real, verifiable trade. This lantern ensured Raven's victory, as Sheevers' candlesticks were rare and valuable items, ensuring the Raven became a candidate for heir to the Rosalyn Trust Deed. Later on, while thinking over Raven's appearance, Sheever's recognized Raven's features and realized that she was the daughter of his great friend, Dare Matsdotter, and, when he learn't from Lean Alice how Raven was being harassed by Zoolah for what she believed to be a stolen Sheevers' candlestick with a forged receipt, Sheevers came to Raven's aid, helping her and supporting her claim. Sheevers and Raven later both attended Raven's father's funeral, during which Raven notes Sheevers's newfound calmness.

### Lean Alice

Like Sheevers, Lean Alice was an old friend of Raven's father from the Midnight Archipelago. Alice is first seen looking at Raven as the girl walks to Captain Gripp's home with Faybelle. Alice can see the shadows surrounding Raven, and warns Faybelle that the girl 'does not walk alone'. Faybelle mistakes her meaning and makes it clear that she and her friends will protect Raven if any danger befalls her, thinking that Alice may be a threat to her. Later, Alice meets Raven as Raven travels to Captain Gripp's to rest before setting sail aboard the Star of Freedom at dawn. Alice asks her if her 'attendants' are controlled by her, but Raven does not know what she is talking about and turns away. She then warns her that ill will follows her, and that she should call her attendants to her if she is able to. It is at this moment that Zoolah approaches and begins to harass Raven, Lean Alice attempts to come to her aid, after Zoolah accuses Raven of having stole the candlestick Sheevers gave her, by supporting Britta's claim by saying that Sheevers is 'only dead to the world'. However, Zoolah attacks her, kicking at her, before walking away with Britta captive, despite the Evil Queen's daughter's attempts to help the elderly seer. Lean Alice brings Sheevers to Raven, so that the potter can verify that Raven's trade was a true one. After Raven's true identity is revealed, Alice witnesses Zoolah's mad rage and the freak wave caused by the shadows which kills Zoolah before disappearing. Lean Alice and Raven both later attended Dare Matsdotter's funeral

### Gus Porter

“***Principal Binch**: Well, if no one else ants to run, there's no real point in voting
**Gus Porter**: What. Ah ... there will still have to be a vote because ... um ... Raven is campaigning for class president
**Raven Queen**: What!*
**Willow Park**: What! ***Lance**: Argh*
**Yellow**: Oh boy'**”**
―Gus declares that Raven will be running for president, despite the Evil Queen's daughter's refusal

Raven finds Gus amusing, mostly because he treats her especially because she is from another land. Raven is the one who gives Gus his nickname and she is more than happy to teach him about Auradon customs such as the high-five. She treats him like a little brother and, much like with Willow, looks out for his well being. In "Something Ventured, Someone Framed", Raven begins to admire Gus' rather advanced illusion magic and compliments him on his abilities. She also shows sympathy towards him when he says he didn't want to feel left out. He also doesn't seem to mind the fact that Raven thinks that Willow is more powerful, as he states that he "knows what he's about". In Wing It Like Witches, both he and Raven stand up for Willow, and after Faybelle pushes them too hard, Raven convinces them to come back and forgives her best friend. Despite their friendship, Gus can occasionally put Raven in a difficult situation, such as when he declares that Raven will be running for class president, despite Raven telling him beforehand when he suggests that she runs that she couldn't trust herself with power after her Dragon Lord possession experience, to Raven's annoyance. Despite this, Gus always tries to help if he makes a problem for Raven, and the same can be said for her. Gus helps Raven campaign after the Evil Queen's daughter agrees to campaign for president.

Despite their differences regarding a desire for popularity, Gus and Raven are still tight friends, Gus referring to the Evil Queen's daughter as one of his "testy besties". Raven provides Gus with confidence and advice, while Gus helps makes sure that Raven does not miss out on socializing.

### Jörmungand Nassera

Raven and Jörmungand were originally somewhat distantly acquainted when Raven lived on the Isle and was trained as a possible future member of the Nassera Imperial Household, though the full relationship Raven had with Princess Darkness's daughter is unknown. Through her father, Raven is Jörmungand's niece, though, even after they reconcile, neither see each other that way, viewing each other as sisters instead.

Raven later meets Jörmungand after the girl rejoined her mother on the side of Darkness in "Covention" but didn't interact much with her; Jörmungand seemed fascinated by Raven, having not been privy to many Auradonians on the Isle of the Lost and Midnight Archipelago and thought the idea that a Auradon taught partly her fugitive brother besting her strongest protege, Amity, was laughable. In "Once Upon a Swap", Jörmungand comes to interrogate Raven whilst she's in Fenris's body and Raven learns that Fenris, like his sister, had once desired to join the Emperor's Coven but chose not to. After being threatened with the coven brand, Raven accidentally casts a spell that blows out the prison wall and escapes.

Though the two do not fight directly against each other, Raven and Jörmungand both fight in the Battle of the Storm Spire, though on opposite sides, with Raven using magic to aid the Resistance in driving back the forces of Jörmungand's mother, Darkness's Black Army and her uncle, Grimler's Ice Warriors, while Jörmungand, wielding the Sunfire Staff, attempts to decimate the Rebellion Army. Raven pities Jörmungand for being blindly loyal to her mother and being so willing to follow her dark parent's footsteps, showing how she is unwilling to compromise her morality despite their apparent former friendship. And yet, due to Jörmungand following her mother's footsteps Raven begins to fear that she doesn't know her anymore but still believes there is good in her and will do the right thing someday

Raven didn't see Jörmungand again until "Agony of a Witch" when she attempts to "borrow" the healing hat relic from Princess Darkness' castle, only to be captured by Jörmungand as part of her plan to draw Fenris out of hiding. Jörmungand seals Raven in a bubble and makes her watch her and Fenris fight to wear down Fenris's magic, using the bubble encasing Raven as a shield from Fenris several times. Despite this, Jörmungand reveals the orb she had encased her in was in fact for Raven's protection. When Raven escapes the bubble and tries to stop Fenris before he runs out of magic, Jörmungand throws her off the castle bridge, forcing Fenris to expend the last of his magic to save her and he transforms into his cursed form. As Jörmungand orders her taken away, Raven angrily jumps at Jörmungand, calling her a monster, but is easily overpowered, with Jörmungand allowing her to go free and advising her to go back to her world.

In "Young Blood, Old Souls", Raven is enraged by what Jörmungand did to her own brother and goes on the warpath against her, even smashing a crystal ball showing a news broadcast she appears in. Later, Raven furiously attacks Jörmungand with her magic after failing to stop Fenris from being taken away for petrification until they fall through the portal to the Auradon (where Raven's glyphs don't work). Raven remains angry at Jörmungand, claiming *she's* the one that deserves Fenris's punishment, but has a change of heart after Jörmungand agrees that she deserves to be in Fenris's place and explains why she cursed Fenris in the first place. As a show of good faith, Jörmungand gives Owlbert and Fenris's staff back to Raven, despite being ordered to destroy them. Upon their return to the Midnight Isles, Raven and Jörmungand work together to free Fenris and escape back to the Owl House after Raven saves Jörmungand from petrifiation.

Following this, Raven starts interacting with Jörmungand more positively, having seemingly forgiven her for everything in the past. In "Escaping Expulsion", she started teaching her alongside Fenris how to use glyph magic, and had no problems with bringing her with her to explore King's castle in "Echoes of the Past". Jörmungand later fights alongside Raven in the Battle for the Wildwoods. The two now see each other as firm friends

### Princess Wilder

“***Wilder**: Whenever you're ready.*
**Raven**: What's the point? We've been at this for almost six months and I can still barely take a couple of steps without collapsing! ***Wilder**: I know you're frustrated, but—*
**Raven**: Of course I'm frustrated! A crazy woman poisoned me and a dark sorcerer took over my body and now I can't dress myself, or cook for myself, o-or do anything for myself! And this whole time, my friends have been off helping the world while I'm stuck with you and you can't even heal me! … That came out wrong. ***Wilder**: It's … all right. Let your anger and frustration flow like water.*
**Raven**: I am trying to understand why this happened to me, but nothing makes any sense. I'm tired, Wilder. I'm so tired.'**”**
―Raven unintentionally unleashes her pent-up anger about her unending weakness on Wilder

As Raven learned to control the various elemental arts, Wilder served as her waterbending and healing instructor, presumably teaching her everything Wilder knew about the art, save for bloodbending.

Five weeks after her battle with Darkness and her Dragon Lord possession, Raven sought out Wilder's help to recover physically and mentally. Although Wilder was able to get through to her, progress was slow and Raven eventually grew frustrated with the old healer as well, though she immediately apologised. However, Wilder did not mind the outburst and shared the memory about her family's suffering in regards to the loss of Raven's father (her parent's surrogate son) with the young Elemental Sorceress. The two continued to work with each other and eventually, Raven was able to begin to recover physically. Through Darkness, Raven is Wilder's great-niece.

## Enemies

### Princess Darkness

"*You see my dear, I know what makes people tick. Their darkest impulses! Their greatest fears! And I know you're greatest fear has just - come -* true"
— Darkness confronting Raven

In both "Agony of a Witch" and "Young Blood, Old Souls", Raven realized that Darkness is extremely dangerous and up to no good from the moment she saw her for the first time. The two ultimately became close to archenemies, with Darkness's dislike/loathing of Raven only being outdone by her hatred of Yellow and even face off each other after the former understood that she treated her own daughter, Jormungand as a pawn to ensure her son, Fenris's capture and execution all along. Despite this, upon seeing the young daughter of the Evil Queen's power, Darkness grows curious of Raven and (like her view of Yellow), begins to respect the young girl. Overpowered by her nemesis' might, Raven was forced to give the empress the magic door to the blocked Auradon lands in exchange of Fenris, Jormungand, her friends and King's lives. Despite this, she managed to delay Darkness' plans with the door by detonating it in her grasp before making haste to save her mentor, friends, Jormungand, and King, thus discovering that she's not invincible as everyone thinks. As the Evil Queen's daughter escapes onto the stage, she briefly locks eyes with Darkness through the smoke of the destroyed door and the two glare at each other, signifying how Darkness and Raven are now true enemies.

When the two meet again, Raven is the prisoner and her friends are the rescuers. While they await the raid that Raven's friends are planning, Darkness expressed her respect for the young girl and wishes she was on her master's side, claiming she had the makings of a Doom Raider. After the rebellion's raid begins, Faybelle and Raven duel Darkness, though she is able to defeat them before being forced to defend herself from Yellow and the three once again escape Darkness's grasps. As she escapes on the wings of Nevermore, Raven and Darkness lock gazes through the smoke and glare at each other. Afterwards, Darkness makes Raven a wanted criminal, but expresses the wish that she must be taken alive, showing she still has hopes to recruit her. Later on, after the Order once again captures Raven, Darkness questions the Evil Queen's daughter, during which she displayed an admiration for the young girl and her wish that she wished she was on her side, offering her the promises of teaching her the magical knowledge that she knew, which Raven refused, knowing that she could learn nothing good from the traitorous princess of the Magicars. This refusal causes Darkness to recoil as she recognizes the defiant look in Raven's eyes. This causes her to realize that Raven is not pure human, as she originally appeared to be, but rather is half-human (Auradon) and half-Magicar; daughter of Dare Matsdotter, Wild Witch of Seahaven and founder of the Resistance. Raven remains Darkness's prisoner for several more episodes before the Night of Unity. Having been unable to capture Yellow, Darkness decides to use Raven as a host for her master to anchor himself to the world and escape from his lunar prison into. Despite Raven's friends attempts to stop the ceremony, Darkness succeeds and watches in delight as Raven becomes her master's host and wreaks havoc. However, with the help of Raven's friends and Raven herself, Darkness's master is extracted from Raven's body and re-imprisoned in the moon, foiling Darkness's plans. Enraged that her husband's plans had been foiled by what she saw as a mere girl, Darkness challenges Raven and teleports them into the dark realm and states that she wants for Raven to suffer in the worst way possible by taking everything she owns and loves in vengeance for Raven causing her to lose the husband she loved more than anything for a second time. As Raven backs away in fear Darkness advances on her, gloatingly taunting the apprentice witch with the fact that there are no friends who can help her now, while repeatedly striking her away with her dark magic as she begins to corrupt the Evil Queen's daughter, chaining her down. However, Raven recalls the actions of kindness shown to her by her friends, new and old, who helped her in her times of need. She uses them and the love she feels for her family and friends to overcome Darkness's dark magic, causing her and the wicked sorceress to be extricated from the realm and driving Darkness away back to her palace. Upon recovering from the shock of being defeated by a witch many years her junior, Darkness swears revenge on Raven and her friends. Though she still hopes to use Yellow as her master's puppet, she now sees Raven as a solid backup host.

Later on, when Raven, Fenris and Gus are captured by the Black Army, Darkness orders for Raven and Gus to be sent to their reeducation for the Black Army's most severe dissenters. Before the soldiers could execute the order, however, Raven falls to her knees and begs Darkness to forgive her and take her in. Turning around, Darkness asks Raven why she should do so, and Raven explains that her only mistake was being loyal to the wrong person, much to Fenris's shock. She adds that she was blindly devoted to Fenris because of his brilliant mind and could show her the truth of her power but has come to realize that he is a fool compared to his mother, Darkness. She expresses her belief in her vision and the desire to devote her life to Darkness instead and pledges her allegiance. After a short moment, Darkness, with a small smile remarks that her son and Gus could learn something from Raven and orders the apprentice to rise to her feet, giving her a second change. Fenris begs her to reconsider, to think about the time they have spent together, but Raven bitterly retorts that he has never appreciated her despite her following his every request, nor helped her realize her true potential. She orders the guards nearby to "do the thing", and they drag Fenris, yelling in despair, from the tent. From then on, Raven directly joins Darkness's inner circle. Darkness was willing to risk Raven's life, placing her as a decoy in her tent to capture Suyin. Though Raven appeared as fanatically loyal as any of the Black Army, while the rest of the army erupt into cheers, she simply claps slowly and uninterestedly. Raven stood alongside the Darkness and her two top army commanders, Slithraa and Wasp, when Darkness addressed the people of Morlewa, demanding them all to bow. She retreated with Darkness, Wasp and Slithraa toward Suyin's personal yard, where she heard him report that Fenris, Faybelle and Gus had blown themselves up and were most certainly deceased. Upon being asked rhetorically if she would like to assist Slithraa in building the "most powerful weapon the world [had] ever seen", she stoically answered that it would be her honor, before calmly walking away. From then on, Raven aids in building Darkness's spirit energy cannon, though, in truth, she was in fact trying to sabotage the cannon. When Darkness later arrived to check up on their progress, Raven explained the malfunctions they had encountered as normal for such a complex machine and lied to the army commander that she was doing everything she could to correct those.

The following day, the cannon was presented to the gathered troops and Raven stood with Darkness and Slithraa, as the latter powered it up to fire a test shot. When the cannon malfunctioned once again due to a missing distributor pin, Darkness confronted Raven and demanded to know what she knew about it. Although she answered she had nothing to do with the failure, Darkness bent the pin out of her uniform. Her betrayal discovered, Raven dropped her loyal façade and denounced Darkness as a monster, not regretting any of her sabotaging actions. Darkness then nearly has Raven killed, but she is saved by Fenris and his allies and Raven and Darkness return to being enemies.

Through her father, Raven is technically Darkness's estranged granddaughter.

### Ex-Queen Wasp

Raven and Wasp both originally loathed each other due the Raven's crucial role in Wasp's dethronement after Queen Wasp and her HiveWings have captured the leaders of Araudon, which included Raven's sister Evie, which would infuriate Raven at Wasp and went with Faybelle, Discord and Wasp's niece, Cricket, to go rescue Evie and the others. Wasp eventually captured Faybelle and Discord, but reveals to what appears to be Raven that she did not think the daughter of the Evil Queen was worth replacing with one of her drones. Raven later attempts to convince Wasp and her followers to change their lives for the better, which Wasp refuses and help convince nearly all WaspWings to accept good. After destroying the throne Wasp was using to conceal the black spear of rock she was using to help her master return, Wasp was defeated and dethroned from her position, as Queen, swearing vengeance upon the newly-crowned Queen of a united tribe Cricket and her companions in the process before she went into exile. Since then, Raven and Wasp have become fearsome enemies. Later on, Raven was captured by Wasp and the Order of Shadows, but escapes and joins the VKs alongside hundreds of their other allies to defeat the Order and watches them turned to stone. Raven was shocked and horrified when it was revealed that Wasp and her allies had escaped. The two do not share much contact after this.

### Wilma Sledkin

Dr. Wilma Sledkin is the scientific archrival of Raven's mother. Raven and Sledkin became acquainted with each other while she and his mother were traveling the world on Misako's scientific expeditions for the Rakke Corp. Raven has been shown to dislike Sledkin for her constant attempts to undermine her mother's work and reputation in the corporation. As revealed in “Magma Breather”, Raven sees Sledkin as someone who couldn’t possibly understand things like compassion and love, especially the kind she shares with her mother and dragon. Sledkin, in turn, has a low opinion of Raven, mainly for being the daughter of her rival. She sees Raven as nothing but trouble and will call her demeaning terms such as “Young Raven”, due to her youthful age. This is also causes her to underestimate her a great deal, despite her having proven her worth as a skilled climber and explorer multiple times.

Out of all the Rakke Corps employees, Raven seems to view Sledkin as the most dangerous if the dragons were to be discovered, knowing full well that she would attempt to profit off of them if she knew of their existence. Thus, Raven is determined to prevent her from learning about the dragons or the Hidden Kingdom.
