Raven

"Azarath... Metrion... ZINTHOS!"

- Raven Raven (Rachel Roth) is a main character on Teen Titans Go!. She is voiced by Tara Strong.

Bio
Raven is the daughter of the interdimensional demon Trigon and the human Arella. She grew up in the alternate dimension of Azarath and was taught to control her emotions and suppress her demonic powers. Her mother taught her about her father and Raven vowed to stop him. Despite her demon heritage, Raven wanted to use her powers for good so she joined the Teen Titans, having been initially rejected from the Justice League because magic user Zatanna detected her demonic father.

Appearance


Raven wears a blue cloak with a hood, behind it being a leotard-like bathing suit with long sleeves reaching to her hands. She has light gray skin, blackish-purple hair, purple eyes, and a red, diamond shaped gem on her forehead. She has skulls at the sole of her shoes.

Personality
"Raven is the sarcastic, deadpan half demon girl who'd rather be left alone."

With ashadowy past and eerie powers, Raven is trying to be good, but she's desperately afraid of the darkness within her. Raven's telekinetic powers allow her to move objects with her mind. She constantly has to deal with Trigon's influence and the fact that her powers are based on emotion, so she tends to be the most emotionless of the Titans. Feeling just about any emotion too strongly can be bad for everyone. However, she still shows some emotion like frustration and happiness. She typically prefers to be alone but will still hang with the rest of the Titans.

She also seems to hate going to the dentist, shown the episode Meatball Party. She has a fear of what is concidered "girly" but conciders Pretty Pretty Pegasus, a parody of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, a guilty pleasure.

Powers and Abilities
Raven's powers are magical in nature and are inherited from her father Trigon. They are controlled by her emotions, so she has to keep them at bay. When using certain powers, she has to say her signature "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" before casting them.
 * Soul-self (the dark colored energy she uses is called soul-self)
 * Telekinesis : She can control anything that is enveloped in soul-self.
 * Solid telekinesis construct :  She can mold anything with the energy from her soul-self.
 * Teleportation : She can teleport herself or others anywhere.
 * Casting spells : She is very skilled in using spells like using it to create clones or giving life to Aboitic, inanimate Objects.
 * Power Granting : It is shown in Super Robin that she can give people powers like her father, Trigon.
 * Duplication : It is also shown in Double Trouble that she can duplicate things

Beast Boy
Raven seems to have a complex relationship with Beast Boy. She finds him annoying and dislikes his jokes. Despite this, they do appear to be friends. It is worth mentioning that she (along with Starfire) seemed to remain loyal to Beast Boy in "Gorilla" up until Robin returned as leader of the group. In "Meatball Party" the demonic monster in Raven's mouth attacked Beast Boy by far the most often (even causing Beast Boy to question why it singled him out) out of any of the Titans, suggesting that she has Beast Boy on her mind often. In Terra-ized, the other titans thought she was jealous of Beast Boy's "relationship" with Terra. Everytime they'd mock her and call her jealous, she'd never tell them she wasn't, dodging the question as she tried to convince them Terra was bad. At the end of the episode, when the Titans said it was crazy to think that Raven liked Beast Boy, Raven says how absurd their relationship would be, but turns around and smiles lovingly, implying she actually does have feelings for Beast Boy.

Trigon
Raven has a very strained relationship with her father, Trigon. Raven apparently decided at some point in the past that she wanted to be a hero, rather than follow in her father's footsteps. Trigon seems to resent this, but apparently accepted it. Nonetheless, he still seems to want her to embrace her birthright as a demon spawn.

Starfire
Starfire and Raven are good friends. In "Dog Hand" Starfire says to Raven's father, redundantly, that she is Raven's best female friend within the Teen Titans. Starfire is often extremely friendly to Raven, but Raven is often not that interested. She often tries to reject Starfire, often failing, but usually not in a mean way, she just wants to be left alone. Even when she does try to be a little mean, Starfire doesn't understand because of her naivety of Earth culture. However, in Girl's Night Out, despite her initial reluctance to join, Raven joins Starfire and Jinx in a girl's night out and they all have a good time. Starfire, along with Cyborg, tease Raven about supposedly being jealous of Beast Boy's relationship in "Terra-ized".

Cyborg
Cyborg seems to have an older brother sort of relationship with Raven. As seen in Meatball Party, Raven was upset with him, because he wanted her to eat a meatball, but she didn't want to. Cyborg seemed to have a pattern of forcing Raven to do things she didn't want to do, which he finally understood by the end of the episode, but couldn't help himself when it came to meatball parties. He and Starfire teased her about her apparently being jealous of Beast Boy's relationship with Terra in "Terra-ized".

Robin
Raven seems to have a great deal of respect for Robin as a leader, and the two are rather close. She seems to confide in Robin more than she does the other Titans, as in "Dog Hand" she refused to discuss her father until Robin confronted her on the subject. She also helped him find a replacement staff in "Staff Meeting" by giving him the location of the Universe Tree.

Silkie
She seems to be Silkie's friend, because in Legendary Sandwich, she is playing with her Pretty Pretty Pegasus dolls with him, but In Dog Hand, she threw him out by breaking the window, but it was more due to rage than a dislike for Silkie.

Jinx
Raven and Jinx are more enemies than freinds, being that Raven is Jinx's least favourite Titan and Raven targeting her as the villain she mostly teases about being put in jail, but in Girl's Night Out, Raven doesn't really seem to think letting Jinx out is the best idea, but after the big chase, Raven starts to have some fun. Once they were put into the facility, Raven admits she had fun with Jinx and agrees to join them on their second Girl's Night Out.

Terra
Raven and Terra's "rocky" relationship throughout the episode Terra-ized is a nod to the original series. It is unknown if Raven was actually jealous of Terra, due to the the fact that every time Starfire or Cyborg would ask if she was jealous of Terra with Beast Boy she would dodge the question. However at the end, she smiled lovingly implying that she does have a crush on Beast Boy.

 * When she is slightly angry or annoyed, only her teet turn sharp.
 * In Laundry Day, Raven's bob-cut hair is black instead of the usual purple from the original show, though this slight change may be an attempt at Raven's original image from the comics. There was a different design for Raven with her purple hair, like she was in the old show, it is unkown why the producers didn't use that design.  However in some episodes, in the wall can be seen some photos of Raven without her hood, showing her hair with the style from the old show.
 * Raven loves the show Pretty Pretty Pegasus, which is clearly a parody of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This is a reference to Tara Strong, Raven's voice actress, as she voices Twilight Sparkle on the show.
 * In Driver's Ed, it is shown that Raven has a car license and can drive the T-Car without touching the steering wheel.
