Personality

Because of her background and powers, Raven is a solitary, quiet individual who prefers to avoid interacting with others much. She displays no emotion; knowing when she does it causes her power to go haywire and is normally very serious which counteracts with people like Beast Boy and Cyborg's upbeat and energetic demeanor. She rarely speaks, and when she does, it is a biting, acerbic wit at best and condescendingly scathing at worst. One of Raven's notable traits is her constant broodiness and her tendency to almost never smile. She much more prefers to meditate in silence and can be cold to people like Terra or even her fellow Titans nor does she divulge about her past which they deem her as "creepy". However in later episodes she becomes more open with people she trusts such as Robin. Because of her purpose to bring her father to Earth, Raven can be intensely self-loathing and more than often isolates herself from the rest of the Titans. She also opens up to people whom she thinks to understand her such as Malchior, a character from an enchanted book who was, in reality, corrupting her with dark magic. While inside her mind, Beast Boy and Cyborg discover Raven of her that she normally keeps hidden from the other Titans; despite her insistence otherwise, she actually does think Beast Boy is pretty funny, even if she doesn't laugh out loud at his jokes, though she also secretly worries that he doesn't like her. Additionally, although she insults them frequently, Raven is in fact very regretful and apologetic about every little thing she said to Cyborg and Beast Boy, to the point that she spends an entire journey through a maze apologizing for all of it (much to their annoyance).

Appearance

Raven keeps a dark and mysterious appearance throughout the series. She is very slender, with pale gray skin, purple eyes, and somewhat thick black eyebrows. She has straight, angled, purple hair and a prominent widow's peak. She also has a red gemstone outlined in black located in the center of her forehead (or her "Ajna chakra", as Blackfire puts it). Raven, being half-demon, has used her demonic appearances on several occasions, though often the use of her demon form causes her to lose control. When Raven is in her 'demonic' state, a second pair of eyes appear where her eyebrows are. Her superhero outfit primarily consists of her favorite color, navy blue. She usually wears a blue hooded cloak, matching ruffled ankle-boots with gray soles, and a black long-sleeved legless leotard with blue cuffs. Her cloak is decorated with a round, red jewel (similar to a brooch), which helps keep the cloak shut. It covers her T-communicator and it is fixed to beep/glow when there is trouble, as seen in some episodes. Occasionally, the silhouette of a raven head appears inside the jewel. She also wears a thin, gold belt with decorated with several of the same type of jewel.
