Raven is a black-haired and green-eyed girl. She is rather short for her age. She is the second oldest of a family of ten. Her wizard father left shortly after the birth of her youngest sister which left her muggle mother to raise the kids. Raven has always felt like she was always in her perfect older sister's shadow. While her sister easily got A's, she always had to struggle very hard for the grades to try to make her mom proud. She never seemed to be able to make any friends. Probably, because of her odd obsession with horror and ghost stories. She prefers her books to any conversation or interaction. Since she isn't very social, she can seem rather strange when she tries to be. The first time Raven realized there may be something strange about her was when she was six. She had got into an argument with her twin brother. She had caught him red-handed with her diary. He had tried to say that he had found it on the floor and was putting it back, but she had seen him reading it. The more he tried to lie, the angrier she got. The more she called him out, the angrier he got. He ended up slapping her clear across the face and before she could even react he went flying out the door and over the second story guard rail. His leg was broken and some ribs were bruised, but luckily, that's the worse he got. Even though she hadn't touched him, she still got into trouble and was grounded for about three months. Her mom didn't believe her explanation of him suddenly hitting the air. Her brother didn't seem sure of what happened and always said as much when he was asked. That was the start of the decay of the close friendship they had had since birth. Things only worsened when she got her Hogwarts letter and he didn't.
