Raven

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

- Raven´s catchphrase '

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

Bio
The evil interdimensional demon, Trigon, chose the human Arella to be his wife. Shortly after marriage, he abandoned her and left her. Arella almost committed suicide, but was taken care of by the disciples of Temple Azarath. She eventually gave birth to Raven, who spent many years learning to control and hide the powers from her evil father. Trigon eventually began to fill her dreams with evil visions and prophecies, so she went to confront her evil father. Trigon tried to get her to join him, but she refused. He was still willing to spare her and her mother, and Raven fled to Earth. When she arrived, she joined three other superheroes, and they worked to defend an alien girl from the Gordanians. When they succeeded, they formed the Teen Titans, and became a group of superheroes devoted to defending Jump City.

Appearance


Raven wears a blue/purple cloak with a hood, behind it being a leotard-like suit with long sleeves reaching to her hands, though she is only seen without her cloak in which she meditates or uses her telekinetic powers. She has light gray skin, blackish-purple hair, purple eyes, and a red, diamond shaped gemstone on her ajna shakra on her forehead. She has skulls at the soles of her ankle boots.

In Laundry Day, she curses the Titans' clothing to come to life and attack the Titans themselves. This results in her wearing Robin's uniform.

In Legs, Raven adopts a new look and name as Lady Legasus in having discovered the possibilities of using her legs and feet. Opposite to her dark attire, she wears a golden-yellow one-piece bikini-like outfit with matching boots, cuffs and her Lady Legasus logo in the center.

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

With a shadowy past and eerie powers, Raven tries 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 frequently spend time with the rest of the Titans. She is perhaps the most level-headed of the group, as she is rarely shown freaking out or showing any "extreme" emotions unless provoked. Despite this, she seems to be quick to anger, and has destroyed appliances or attacked numerous people when she gets angry. She also seemed saddened along with the other Titans (aside from Starfire) when she wasn't invited to the Titans East Party, breaking down crying with the others. In "Legs", it is revealed that her cloak is what gives her the sarcastic personality and level-headed personality.

She also seems to hate going to the dentist, shown the episode Meatball Party. She generally dislikes things that are considered "girly," but considers Pretty Pretty Pegasus a sort of guilty pleasure. At first, she didn't seem to want the other Titans to know about her being a fan of the show, but in "Super Robin" she has apparently gotten over this, as she is seen watching it in front of them. Raven is also shown to be one of the laziest Titans, along with Beast Boy and Cyborg. She doesn't do any physical work, and she often uses her telekenisis, teleporting and flying power every day, to the point that she had difficulty walking in in No Power. Raven is also shown to be kind of mischievous as she has played pranks and or tricks on some of her friends, for example whe she tricked Robin in Laundry Day and Starfire (with Beast Boy and Cyborg) in Second Christmas. Also, she participated in pranking Beast Boy (with the others) in Ghost Boy. She has shown strong feelings for Beast Boy on several occasions, but has difficulty expressing her feelings. Despite this, the two seem to share a close, sometimes flirtatious relationship.

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 incantation "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 objects.Download_2.jpg
 * Soul-self Creations: She can also make hands, shields, and even inter-dimensional portals with her soul-self.
 * Apparition: She can teleport herself wherever she wants without portals.
 * Moderate Hand-to-Hand Combat: In "Legs", Raven was shown to be a capable hand-to-hand fighter. She only fights with her legs and feet in the episode though.
 * Dark Magic: In "Nose Mouth", she used Dark Magic to change the other Titans. If it's used for silly reasons, it tends to get out of hand and make her more and more evil.Unhappy.png

Beast Boy
Raven has a huge, secret crush on Beast Boy. She claims to find him annoying and dislikes his jokes, but this is only an act. Despite this, they're very close friends and deeply respect each other. In "Meatball Party," the demonic monster in Raven's mouth attacked Beast Boy by far the most often out of any of the Titans, even causing Beast Boy to question why it singled him out 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. Every time they'd teased her and call her jealous. She did, however, deny this multiple times. 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, implying she actually does have feelings for Beast Boy.

In "Matched," the Love Matcher 5000 (created by Cyborg) matched Beast Boy and Raven, making Beast Boy crazy in love with Raven. Curiously, despite Raven's apparent love for him, throughout the episode she stubbornly rejected, and both attacked and insulted him each time he tried to hit on her. This may imply that she is in denial of her feelings for him. Nonetheless, near the episode's end, once Raven sees that Beast Boy really does care and wants to be with her she realizes that he's really trying to win her over which makes her looks back and remembers everything he's done to show his love for her, she then decides she wants to give their relationship a chance. Beast Boy then immediately proposes to her and the two prepare to get married. However, Cyborg interrupts them and reveals that his machine was faulty and Beast Boy's true match was a scratching post leaving Raven to be visibly frustrated.

Raven apparently still holds deep feelings for Beast Boy as shown in "Colors of Raven, when her passionate side showed immediate attraction towards him, promptly kissing him constantly. Curiously Beast Boy is the only Titan Rage did not assault or attempt to attack during the episode.

In the episode "Legs " Raven was often getting complimented by Beast Boy by her legs and although she seemed to ignore it. At the end we find out she actually did enjoy the attention he was giving her which is shown when she shows a small seductive smile then shows him her legs one more time as he morphs into a dog and howls cheerfully.

In the episode "Waffles", Beast Boy was only saying the word "waffles" when he spoke to Raven. It is unknown what he said, but apparently Raven did. She blushed in response and said "Right....."

In the episode "Be Mine" Raven carries an intenion to keep Beast Boy from getting hurt by reveiling Terra's true nature. When realizing this Beast Boy becomes depressed while she comforts her she states that " There is another girl out, who I bet likes you. " with Beast Boy ask "why hasn't she told me" which makes Raven feels that she should tell the truth. Raven comes close to admitting her feelings to Beast Boy at the valentines day dance, but was interrupted by an assault by Terra. At the end of the episode, she sadly comments that she didn't get to express her true feelings.

Trigon
Raven has a very strained relationship with her father, Trigon, describing at one point as "a complete weiner." 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 (However, apart from Starfire, she is the only female in the 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 and Robin have a brother/sister relationship. In "Dog Hand," she refused to discuss her father until Robin confronted her on the subject and forced it out of her. She also helped him find a replacement staff in "Staff Meeting" by giving him the location of the Universe Tree. She's also shown to be deeply annoyed by Robin as seen when Red Raven beats him up along with Cyborg in "Colors of Raven".

Silkie
She seems to be Silkie's friend, because in Legendary Sandwich and Nose Mouth, 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 friends, being that Raven is Jinx's least favorite 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
Terra seems to be Raven's enemy because she knew her purpose was to bring down the Titans, and also from her envy of Beast Boy's affection for Terra. From the start Raven was suspicious of Terra the first time in the episode Terra-ized she had a feeling Terra was a spy that was using Beast Boy's affections to get The Titans secrets. After, when Raven saved Beast Boy from getting crushed by Terra, they have a short battle Raven won, then traped her in another demenion. And when she returns in Be Mine, she continues to spy on Terra after the latter escapes from a dimension Raven had previously sealed her in. This time, she manages to convince Beast Boy of Terra's treachery, which depresses him. Raven is left clearly heartbroken when Beast Boy seems to win Terra over, combined with the fact that she was unable to express her true feelings for him. She then in envy and anger seals Terra into the other dimension once again, with Beast Boy jumping in after her.
