Raven, like her father is proud and take pride in what she does. And, like her mother, can have a short temperament at times. However, despite her similarities with the adults, Raven is reserved, always have said to keep her feelings under lock and key. In fact, so reserved, it is said, by some, that the girl is not able to feel emotion at all. Years of reading various books has added to her intelligence, giving the girl lot's of conversation topics to talk about. However, Rave is a girl with a witty comeback for just about anything. If it comes off rude, well, you'll just have to decipher if it truly is or not. Despite her ability to go about and make friends and cary on conversation, at major events, the girl is actually really quiet. She is also very head strong and independent. On another note, she may come off as sweet and kind to people who get to know her. But there is always one thing that you should keep in mind; Nobody breaks centerirls heart.

Standing at 4 feet and 10 inches, Aibhlinn is the shortest person in her family by far and never hears the end of it from her brothers, who are all either over 6 feet or close to it. Aibhlinn doesn't know where she got her shortness from since her father is 6 feet and her mother is as least 5'8 though Aibhlinn chalks it up to be the circumstances of her birth that lead to her lacking height. Her long dark brown hair tumbles down to her waist and she normally wears it braided back though she has days where she leaves it down. It is naturally wavy and she likes it that way, having never touched a curling or flat iron her entirely life. She has bright blue eyes that she got from her father, her mother and brothers having green or hazel eyes. Her complexion is fair without freckles or other blemishes though she does burn rather easily if exposed to too much sun.

Aibhlinn's wardrobe consists mostly of grays, whites and blacks. Due to her condition, she trusts those colors and feels comfortable wearing them. She likes jeans and t-shirts though she has a few dresses, skirts and some shorts and other tops that her mom bought her. She normally wears converse though she owns one or two pairs of boots. Both of her ears are pierced though her mother had a hard time even getting that done therefore Aibhlinn does not sport any tattoos.

When Aibhlinn is around people that are not her family or her close friends, she is normally seen as quiet and reserved. She tends to not speak much and speaks quietly at that when spoken to. She is closed off to people she does not know very well and will only open up to people she knows very well. To add to that, Aibhlinn is very loyal to her family and the people she calls her friends. She would do anything to protect them and keep them safe, even if that means putting herself in harms way. She is very self-less and tends to forget about her own well-being at times. Once given a task, Aibhlinn will become focused solely on that task and will not give up or relent until she is satisfied with the end result. To the extent, she is also a perfectionist and is very reluctant to proclaim her work is perfect to her standards. She is a very neat and organized person coming from a family with three messy brothers; her part of the dorm with not have a blanket out of place. Her bed is made every morning and all her books are alphabetized by author and her clothes folded neatly. She also does not like other people touching her things, especially her diary or photo album that holds pictures of her family. Thankfully, her OCD ends with herself and so she will not go around telling others to organize their things or make their bed. If they want to be messy so be it as long as her things are tidy.

Despite her being closed off to other people, Aibhlinn likes to help people and will offer to help if she can manage to pluck up the courage. Aibhlinn also does not trust very easily and won't offer much about herself even if asked. Even in class, if she knows the answer she is still wary of speaking out. If called on she will answer but will not willingly raise her hand by herself. With assignments or tasks given to her, she prefers to know all the information needed, wanting the whole picture before she begins. Even if it seems un-needed, she wants to know every detail.

Aibhlinn is also Ambidextrous, which means she is both left and right-handed. She tends to switch between them, not really favoring one over the other though it has been noted that if she is writing essay's or though out pieces she will write with her left and if she is scribbling down notes she will use her right.

To the people she is close to, Aibhlinn is seen as a happy girl. She hates being the center of attention and can become quite flustered when put in the spotlight. She blushes easily and cries even easier. She also does not like for other people to see her cry, she has a bad habit of bottling up her emotions and problems; instead putting on a brave face and acting like nothing is wrong. She is a very good listener if someone needs to rant and is not very easily angered herself. If you do manage to anger to her you'll never know it though people close to her know the angrier she gets, the quieter her voice gets. However, even if she is angry, she will hold her tongue and not lash out with hurtful words. She also will simply walk away if her anger becomes too strong.

Aibhlinn can be very stubborn and does not ask for help very often, especially around people she is not close to. However, if she feels comfortable around someone, she might ask. Maybe. She is very independent.

Strictly speaking, Aibhlinn should not be alive. After three boys, Aibhlinn's mother was warned she should not have anymore children as she had had problems when the twins Declan and Rion were born. But Mavelle and Faolan desperately wanted a baby girl. Against the doctors warnings, they tried for another baby. They prayed day and night and in August Mavelle missed her monthly cycle. Hoping against all odds, she went to the doctor and almost burst into tears of happiness upon discovering she was pregnant. Throughout the pregnancy, Mavelle and the baby were carefully monitored and thankfully so when Mavelle went into labor on a cold December night, a good four months before her due date. It was a long and painful labor and there was a critical point where the doctors would have lost the mother and child if they had not preformed a C-section when they did. Both lived though Aibhlinn spent the first couple months of her life in the hospital on careful watch of the doctors and nurses. Because of her premature birth, Aibhlinn suffers from a weak immune system and can get sick very easily. She is also prone to ear infections and can have breathing problems if her body is worked too hard. Despite these complications, nothing stopped her from running around outside with her brothers.

The doctors had feared that Aibhlinn's growth would be stunted and her parents adopted this fear when she didn't get her teeth or much hair until she was two. As a child, Aibhlinn always looked younger than she actually was and people in the shops were very surprised to see what looked like a toddler speaking in full sentences. All in all, she was a happy and bright child who adored her older brothers. Her brothers adored her right back and didn't mind when she followed them around everywhere. Closer to her age, the twins were Aibhlinn's partners in crime where they got into all sorts of mischief. However, Cain was never far behind to get them out of trouble. With her condition, her brothers and parents did not treat her any differently. Her brothers even tried to help by telling her what the color of things were; the sky is blue, the grass is green, etc. They even made a game were they would bring her objects like apples and such and she would try to guess what color is was. Aibhlinn was never burdened by her lack of color. Instead she accepted it as a part of herself and strove to not be brought down by it.

Aibhlinn had turned when she was ten and it had been during a silly little fight she was having with one of her brothers over a toy. One minute she had been scowling at Rion and the next minute she was a tiny black wolf. She didn't know who was more freaked about it, her or her family. But after a while they calmed down and accepted this part of her as well. Declan and Rion were even jealous that she could turn into a wolf. Later in life Aibhlinn had a few random moments where she would turn but generally she was a normal girl.

She loves drawing but with her condition she can not do much with it. Luckily she also loves dancing and is very good at it. She is also very good at playing the piano and violin. She one day hopes to be a professional dancer and doesn't stick to just one style of dance.

When she was born, she was diagnosed with Monochromacy which means she is only able to see in black, white, or shades of gray. She has accepted this as a part of herself and deals with it the best she can.
