**Personality**

Raven is bold, brave, witty and sarcastic, incredibly intelligent especially with mechanics and engineering. She is a quick thinker and good with her hands, but has anger issues particularly in the matter of people judging her. She is painfully shy when it comes to personal information and is secretive and defensive about her past, knowing that people would judge her for what happened. Prior to her rape by Solis Donovan and the death of her baby, she was a lot nicer and wanted to get to know people and have a lot of friends. She was a lot more immature and carefree, but that all changed and she became a more hardened, closed off person.

**Appearance**

Raven is Mexican on her mother's side and appears as such, and has long dark brown and amber hair, brown eyes and is around 5'5. She has her left leg amputated and replaced with a metal prosthetic in Bird of Prey.
