Personality
.:Personality:.
Raven's personality runs deep. More than anything, she's a scared and mostly confused individual. She's not a bad person by nature, but the cruelness of humans makes her cold to them. There was once where she wanted to find a peaceful way for humans and mutants to co-exist, much like Charles, but the longer she lives, the more she sees that it's not that easy and the only way to bring peace is with a little bit of violence. Raven does her best to not lose herself in her anger, but sometimes, she finds herself losing her way.
If everyone could co-exist, Raven would likely be much more of a laid back girl, much like she was when she was younger. After she met Charles Xavier. Under the circumstances, she's rather stubborn, though. She's the type of person to carry something out once she has it set in her mind, and it's very, very hard to stop her. She has a tendency to be skittish, as she finds it hard to trust anyone.
Raven believes that putting her guard up is the only way that she can be safe. It's the only way to survive in the world gone mad with power.

.:History:.
Raven's history isn't known to many people. She was born in the early thirties, but the exact year is unknown. She was a normal child, but everything went crazy on the evening of her twelfth birthday when her mother went in to her room to tuck her in for bed. Raven had turned blue, with red hair in her sleep. Her mother naturally screamed and Raven awoke. Once awake, she was the normal blonde haired blue eyed girl that her mother had loved. Raven's father ran in to see what the commotion was about, and her mother was accused of being crazy.
When Raven finally discovered what she could do, she eventually stopped using the normal girl form all together when she wasn't in public. Or at least, she tried. Every time she allowed herself to be free, and blue, her father would beat her with a belt, or anything else he could find on hand. She learned to stop doing it at home, but then at school, she would do it on purpose. Shift forms in to the kids who would tease her, mock them disguised as their parents... she was only trying to play. However, it caused more fear in to the other students than anything. This resulted in more beatings by her father, and breakdowns by her mother.
Eventually, her mother was put in to a mental institution, and of course Raven was blamed for it. The beatings became too much for the young girl to endure, and so late at night, she ran away, disguising herself as an adult human woman. She ran until she was out of money that she had stolen from her father. That was when she hid inside of Charles Xavier's house trying to pose as his mother. When he discovered her secret, she was shocked to find out that he accepted her.
It was at that moment, that she knew she was safe, and would no longer be alone. All of it came crashing down when the government started to learn about those with mutations. Especially Mystique.
The only thing she could do after foiling the plans of those who wanted to experiment on her, was run... and she never stopped.Sample Post
It had been a long time that she had been running. She didn't even know what she was hiding from anymore. It seemed that every channel on every television lately was tuned to the news. She was sick of hearing that word. Mutant. It was starting to make her sick. She took a deep breath, and looked back down at the latest issue of Cosmo that was in her hand while she waited for a plane. This one was to Rome, Italy. She didn't even know if she wanted to get on the flight. She was getting sick of airplane food as well. It seemed like that, and room service was all she was eating.
The good news was that she always flew for free. Sneaking passports here, and tickets there.. she was the ultimate identity thief. Today, she was Mister Henry Gale from Alabama. That was probably the reason for all of the strange looks she was getting for reading the particular magazine of choice. The flight attendant called for the final boarding to Rome. She stood up from her seat and stared at the line that was forming near the ticket booth. Rolling her eyes, she walked toward the bathroom where she had left the real Henry Gale, and she found his unconscious body. Switching forms to some random man with dirty blonde hair, she tossed the man's passport and ticket on to his chest. "Better be careful with that. Someone might steal it. Better hurry. You're gonna miss your flight."
Henry Gale woke up quickly, scrambled to his feet, and holding on to his pounding head - that strangely felt like someone whacked him with a frying pan - he thanked the stranger and rushed out of the bathroom stall, just barely catching his flight to Rome.
Raven, however, walked out of the bathroom, changed in to her blonde haired, blue eyed human form, and she walked out of the airport. Rome just wasn't ready for her just yet.
