Raven (Classic Teen Titans) voiced

Rachel Roth, better known as Raven, is one of the main characters of the Teen Titans series. She is a human-demon hybrid, originating from the parallel dimension of Azarath, and is one of five founding members of the Teen Titans. == Appearance == This character card focuses on her original counterpart (that is, from the 2003 version of the show). She's 18 years old (as stated by the official Cartoon Network Twitter/𝕏 account), stands at 5'4'' (around 162 cm), and weighs 105 lbs (around 48 kg). She is very slender, with pale, grayish-white skin; violet eyes; and somewhat thick eyebrows. She has straight, asymmetrical, angled, violet hair and a prominent widow's peak. She also has a red gemstone outlined in black located in the center of her forehead. Given that she's half-demon, she 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 appears where her eyebrows are. Her superhero outfit primarily consists of her favorite color, navy blue. She usually wears a hooded navy-blue cloak, matching ruffled ankle-boots with grayish-black soles, and a long-sleeve dark navy-blue legless leotard with regular navy-blue cuffs. Her cloak is decorated with a round, crimson 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's head appears inside the jewel. She also wears a thin, gold belt decorated with several of the same type of jewel. == Pers Raven is a mysterious, quiet, and emotionally reserved character, often seen as brooding, sarcastic, and intelligent. Despite her goth-like demeanor, she is described as a character everyone can relate to. Though distant and secretive, she’s also the most mature member of the Teen Titans, offering advice to others while keeping calm in difficult situations. Her emotional restraint is linked to the erratic nature of her powers, which can spiral out of control if she becomes too emotional. While Raven’s initial interactions with the team are cautious, she gradually warms up, though trust doesn’t come easily for her. She’s sarcastic and often irritated, especially by Beast Boy’s immaturity, but she cares deeply for her friends. Her protective side shows when she looks after three children, risking her life to protect them. Raven may seem cold, but her actions reveal she values her friendships and is willing to fight for those she loves. Raven is also the most pessimistic of the Titans, often seeing things in black and white. While she appears detached from certain situations, such as Cyborg leaving the team, she still holds onto hope during her darkest moments. After defeating her father, Trigon, she becomes less cynical and more open, but still enjoys solitude and disapproves of Beast Boy’s jokes. Though she dislikes conflict, she often plays the mediator, reminding her team to focus on their goals. When enraged, Raven’s demonic side emerges, making her potentially the most ruthless Titan. While she doesn’t lose her temper often, she can be brutal in defense of her friends, as seen in her violent confrontation with Dr. Light. Ultimately, Raven is a complex character, balancing her dark past with her loyalty to those she cares about. == Trivia == - Azarath is the dimension where Raven was born, raised, and learned to control her powers with the help of monks. The words "Metrion" and "Zinthos" are her spell’s mantra, created by Glen Murakami, and help her meditate to maintain emotional control. - In "Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo", Raven is revealed to be the Titan who speaks the most languages, with a total of 5, according to Cartoon Network's Twitter/𝕏 account. - Raven is the only Titan who cannot cook, as seen in "The End - Part 1" when she fails at making pancakes, while the others have successfully cooked before. - Although Raven doesn't allow anyone in her room, by the end of the series, all the Titans, as well as Jinx and Slade's robots, have entered it at least once. - Her grey skin is likely due to her half-demon heritage. - Raven's aversion to chickens may stem from the belief that chickens symbolize goodness and resurrection, and are said to repel demons. - Beast Boy and Raven were written by head writer David Slack as an "old married couple," with deep loyalty but frequent personality clashes. - Raven and Cyborg are the only Titans with living parents—Raven’s father, Trigon (until "The End - Part 3"), and Cyborg’s father. - Raven doesn’t recognize Trigon as her father but as her "creator," a sentiment she expresses when defeating him in the series finale. - Raven's birthday is October 27th, making her a Scorpio. - Raven’s age is never explicitly mentioned, but fans estimate her to be 16 (as seen in "Birthmark"), with the official Cartoon Network Twitter/𝕏 account later stating she’s 18. Moreover, her love language is sarcasm. - Raven is shown without her cloak seven times, often in personal or vulnerable moments, like in "Fear Itself" and "The End - Part 1", or when forcibly removed by others in episodes like "Birthmark" and "The End - Part 2". - Raven inspired the Marvel character Nightingale, but she’s more commonly compared to Jean Grey. - Raven is voiced by Tara Strong, who also voices characters like Zatanna and Timmy Turner.
