did you hear that RAVEN ROTH from TEEN TITANS is a junior at tooniversity? they major in occult science and you can find them hiding in the back of the library on most days. i always hear (don’t fear) the reaper by blue oyster cult playing from their dorm!
TW: mention of suicide, abuse, parental death
hi all! i’m pip and it has been a very long time since i have interacted in a group before so please forgive me, i am a bit timid. that aside, i am super excited to be here and bringing my bundle of joy (that’s sarcasm) raven to life! i don’t use discord so please feel free to reach out to me the old fashion way to plot!! here’s a bit about rae but i am sure more will be added as i go;
raven was born to arella roth - a young, beautiful single mother, who escaped an abusive relationship at 5 months pregnant. at 8 months pregnant, after attempting to take her own life, arella was taken in by a spiritualist named azar and was brought to live in their peaceful commune.
raised by both her mother, azar and the others in their quaint community, it was discovered early on that raven had a gift of mediumship. azar, the leader, took the young girl under her wings and mentored her - teaching her everything she knew.
throughout childhood, until her late teens, raven would only see her father when it was beneficial for him (can you say daddy issues?) they fought often and she and her mother spent a lot of their time hidding from him. at 17, raven discovered her father had been killed - and she finally felt she could begin her life. it was then that she sought out a new adventure, college - tooniversity.
now, raven is a junior studying occult science. she has a deep passion for all things unknown. otherworldly and downright creepy. through her gift, she hopes to heal but she knows she can not until she heals herself.
she is BIG on meditation, very reclusive and pretty shy. she has a very monotone way of speaking, dry human and it takes a lot for her to let people into her life and that most of the time makes her come off as mean and scary.
thanks for reading, again - this could all change as i start to really get into raven. just wanted to share! :)
“Shit!” He exclaimed, cookies nearly falling off the tray as his naked hand gripped onto the hot tray, sliding it across the top of the oven as he closed door. “I swear to-” He’s laughing now, quickly scooting past Raven to run his hand under some cold water at his tap. An oven mitt would have been handy, but it’s too late for that now. The room is dimly lit, his studio apartment seeming much bigger this way as a few candles burned across it; some string lights tying it together. “This is what I get for trying to make you cookies.” He muses lightly, shooting her a teasing look. “You’re lucky you’re worth it.” He teases, though it’s sincere. He feels his heart flutter a bit and soon, he’s drying off his hand. “They’re good, if you don’t count the seared flesh.”
raven watched in disbelief as tommy reached for the cookie tray with bare hands, mouth slightly open in shock. “wow.” she spoke in her usual monotone voice, resting her chin in her hand. “even a child would have known to wear an oven mitt.” she muttered, her eyes following him to the sink. “running it under cold water won’t help, you know. you have to use room temperature to take the burn out.” she sighed, rolling her eyes in response to his comment and giving him a faint laugh. “how do you know they’re good? you haven’t tried one.”
“azarath, metrion, zinthos.” raven sat beneath a large oak tree on the north side of campus, legs crossed and eyes shut. “azarath, metrion, zinthos.” she chanted again under her breath - arms out at her sides and her hands in the gyan mudra position, lost in meditation. ”can i help you?” the dark haired girl didn’t need to open her eyes to know someone was standing over her, their presence was overpowering. “sort of in the middle of something.” she added, taking a long, deep breath in through her nose.
