Name:Ravenage:No clue (though she did celebrate a birthday on the show)allignment: goodspeicies:half demon half humanthe following info is taken from wikipediain the Teen Titans animated series (2003-2006), Raven (voiced by Tara Strong), nicknamed Rae and Rae-Rae in the series, appears much younger than in the comic book variants (as do all the other characters), though her costume is relatively unchanged. Her skirt was, however, changed to a leotard (which revealed most of her legs) by the animators to avoid several animation complications; she wears a chain belt around her waist as well. Instead of having normal human coloration, Raven is depicted with light grey skin, violet eyes and shoulder-length violet hair.She is often portrayed as the most mature member of the group, often giving sage advice to the others about various subjects. She is often easily annoyed with Starfire, as the other titan's personality differs drastically from her own. In one episode, Raven and Starfire accidentally switch bodies and powers, and Starfire, not knowing how to control Raven's powers, momentarily leaves a trail of destruction wherever she walks. Raven explains that her powers are closely tied to her emotions, and that she has to keep them in control. Despite this, she seems to be more emotionally fragile than is shown, as she seems to lose her sanity after the Titans disband in How Long is Forever?. In the Teen Titans movie Trouble in Tokyo, Raven says she knows English, German, Latin, Romanian, Ancient Sumerian, and Sanskrit languages. Raven in Red and White, as seen in Nevermore . She is usually, however, in her trademark dark blue costume. Raven in Red and White, as seen in Nevermore . She is usually, however, in her trademark dark blue costume.In Nevermore , episode 6 of the first season, Raven is angered by the villainous Dr. Light. She then transforms into a demonic version of herself with four glowing red eyes, grabs the villain with tentacles apparently made of her cloak's shadows and drags him under her cloak; he is seen to be dramatically traumatized by the darkness when he reemerges. Later, Beast Boy and Cyborg find a mirror in her room, which accidentally transports them into her subconscious. There, they encountered the personified aspects of Raven herself. Each aspect is represented as wearing a different colored robe: green (brave), gray (timid), pink (happy), red (rage), orange (rude), yellow (knowledge), purple (love), brown (fear), and white which represents having full control over all emotions. When Raven went after them, she tells them that her dark side (the red-eyed tentacled transformation that traumatized Dr. Light) was let out by accident and had taken over her other sides. Although her cloak and leotard were white her cloak remained black, possibly because she wasn't in control of red self. In the end part II she defeats her father with white energy as well as in her white costume. Red Raven (complete with four glowing red eyes) soon gathers herself and transforms into a huge hulking red beast, at which point Raven comments Let's just say I have issues with my father , a hint in the animated series that the beast represents Trigon, her father.Raven was again angered into undergoing a demonic transformation (with four glowing red eyes visible through her cloak's shadow's) during Raven's battle with Terra (season 2, Aftershock Part 1 ). However, since enraging Raven was apparently Slade's plan all along, it is probable that Raven's anger made her lose the control of her powers needed for a fight against her foe. This quandary aside, Raven lost the fight (although she fared much better the next time the Titans faced Terra).The white cloak, boots, and leotard from that episode are seen in at least one episode of the series' seasons. In Nevermore , her cloak turns white after she absorbs her other aspects (except red) to defeat her mind's view of Trigon (Red Raven). The cloak was next seen in the first episode of season two, How Long is Forever? , where Raven's future self dons the white cloak after losing control of her powers and sanity due to the loss of her friend, Starfire. In season three's episode Spellbound , Raven dons her white attire as a result of her being attracted to the dragon Malchior, disguised as the handsome wizard Rorek that originally sealed him in his book. In season four's episode Birthmark , it was revealed that Slade had made an alliance with Trigon, who spared him from being destroyed after being tossed into lava by Terra ( Aftershock Part 2 ). The demon also empowered Slade in order to accomplish his task.In episode Haunted , Robin became insane with seeing a deceased Slade , due to a chemical dust in Slade's mask . Raven used her mental power to enter Robin's mind to see him through his eyes , also unintentionally see his past . After all matters were settled , Robin and Raven became closer , especially after the episode Birthmark . However , their relationship does not go further than friends.In a scene of Raven's birthday Birthmark , Slade comes to deliver her the news that she is going to bring her father to Earth and end the world and in The Prophecy that Raven was going to bring Trigon to the Earth. In The End Part 2 , she gets regressed back to her childhood form by her father, so that he may succeed in his plans of world domination. Raven, with her cloak down, mediating. Raven, with her cloak down, mediating.In her final confrontation with Trigon, Raven's robes changed to white. She overcame Trigon's spell and reverted back to her former teen self. She then continually attacked Trigon while renouncing him as her father. Then, by reclaiming the energies that she had left behind in her friends, Raven transformed into her soul self, which took on the form of a gigantic white raven, banishing Trigon from the world. Though her uniform and power were white when this happened and her hair long, by the end of the episode, Raven had once again donned her standard black and blue outfit and cut her hair to its usual length.In season 5, Raven baby-sits three heroes called Melvin, Timmy, and Teether so the Brotherhood of Evil will not get to them. Raven is not happy about this and soon discovers that the other Titans are on other missions. They end up being chased by Monsieur Mallah , a member of the Brotherhood of Evil. She delivers them to safety but soon discovers that they are being captured by Mallah. She goes back and tries to save them. Bobby, Melvin's imaginary friend, ends up saving all of them. After Monseuir Mallah leaves, Raven gives the four heroes a communicator so if they were in trouble, they can contact her. They later appear in the episode, Titans Together , with her fighting the Brotherhood of Evil and their allies.The only romance Raven seems to have been apparently given in the animated series is the dragon Malchior (Spellbound).Powers and abilitiesThe animated version of Raven often says the phrase Azarath Metrion Zinthos to help her focus her powers. She even uses this as her attack phrase as well. In the episode Mask , when the Teen Titans are fighting against a villain called Red X, Raven tried to say the three words before Red X taped her mouth shut so she couldn't use her powers.These words are her mantra. As previously mentioned, Azarath is the dimension in which she was born and raised, and where she learned her powers from the monks. The words Metrion and Zinthos were created by Glen Murakami for the spell, and do not have any meaning. However, they are more than likely Azarathean words. Raven sometimes uses the mantra to aid her in her daily meditations, which she performs to keep her emotions in check so they do not clash with her conscious self control. When Raven is highly upset, her soul-self can also transform her half-demon body's physiology to alter her appearance to a variety of demonic forms and sizes. When she cannot control her anger, she transforms into a demonic Raven, usually with four glowing, red eyes and sprouting black tentacles from under her cloak. The four eyes seem to symbolize her demon father, Trigon when Cyborg was infected with a virus, she threatened Gizmo into helping by lifting and then pulling down her hood. The face was not shown, but it appeared to be a dragon's head with tentacles.The animated Raven also displayed a large number of limited powers used only under special circumstances. These include teleportation (both of people and objects), telepathy, time manipulation, precognition, rapid healing, extremely powerful magic spells, and the (unwilling) creation of various monsters under the denial of fear.In addition to an affinity for magic and spell casting, Raven possesses powerful telekinetic abilities which manifest in the form of Dark Energy (possibly an extension of her Soul-Self,) serving as her primary means of attack and defense. She can use her abilities to levitate objects (and also herself), project concussive blasts, and form simple shapes like grappling hands and razor sharp plates to use as barriers and/or restricting binds. Raven can use her Dark Energy to create portals to phase through solid barriers like floors and walls. In episode Car Trouble , after Cyborg's newly built T-Car was stolen, and he's lamenting about how the loss hurts him emotionally as he had put his own circuits into it, Raven admits she sympathizes: When I use my powers, I have to put a little of my soul into whatever I'm moving. I become a part of it, and it becomes a part of me . Show less «
