background
By far the most mysterious member of the group, Raven has a dry wit and world-weary demeanor. She always has a droll remark at the ready and is a perfect antidote to Beast Boy's silly antics. When the Teen Titans are on the attack, Raven summons her powerful mental abilities to control inanimate objects - tying up villains with steel beams or hurling cars with ease. While she comes across as a cooler-than-thou outsider, she works well with the rest of the group and would be lost without her fellow Titans. Raven was very private when she first joined the team - not even allowing her close friends to enter her room. She has learned to open up a bit - whether it's shopping with Starfire of secretly enjoying Beast Boy's humor - such as it is. Part of the reason Raven was so withdrawn was a prophesy related to her birth. Raven was destined to become a human portal that would bring her demonic father to earth. Upon Raven's birthday, Trigon began to set plans into motion to bring about the end of earth as we know it. Indeed, Raven did bring Trigon to earth - and he transformed the planet into a frightening wasteland. The prophesy was fulfilled. And Raven was changed into a helpless child. But Raven learned - with the help of the Titans - that there is always hope. Raven tapped into her own eldritch energies to age herself and use Trigon's own 'power' against him. In a flash of white, Raven was able to cleanse the earth of Trigon's evil. This marked the end of an old prophesy - and a new beginning for Raven.
