Background:
Raven is the result of a woman’s bad decision and an inter dimensional demon. Before Raven had been born, her and her mother were spirited away by the priest of Azarath, a cult of sorts that were from another dimension. As Raven aged she was taught to keep her powers in control along with her emotions which were bond together, she learned to protect others and to defend herself. Azarath was a peaceful and serene, though Raven never felt as though she belonged, she loved her home and the priest who raised her even if they did not permit her to visit with her mother for long.
Though Raven was told that her father was dangerous and that she should never try to contact him, she was curious, she wanted to know who he was and what that made her. Maybe it was her father’s influence or maybe she had inherited her mother’s bad judgement she located a spell that would only allow her and her father to talk. However, she was unprepared for the power Trigon processed as he forced his way through the small window Raven had opened and unfortunately for her mother and for Azarath they would burn in the hell fire that the demon brought upon them.
Raven, surviving her fathers attack on Azarath was brought to Trigons dimension where he would try to corrupt the young Raven. However, to Trigon’s surprise his daughter was strong willed would not break no matter the horrors that he had shown the girl. No matter he thought, she would bend to his will eventually. Trigon would go on to try and use Raven’s connection to earth to conquer as he did for countless years, however, he underestimate Raven and she used the brief moment his guard was down to preform the rites to connect his dimension to earth and bond him to a crystal that was powerful enough to bind him, though it was only a temporary solution until she could find allies to fight her father and send him a more permanent end. She took a piece of the crystal and wears it over her third eye so he can always have an eye on her father as she returned to the world of her mother.
However, as she traveled from her fathers dimension to earth she felt an unknown force violently pull her into an alien dimension. Although Raven hadn't spent much time on earth, she knew that this was not it, or at least the earth she was aiming for. She finds herself in the middle of a busy street in a city she never seen, people began to point and stare. She could also feel the panic of dozens of people it was threatening to over-whelm her. She tries again to leave for her original destination and as black raven feathers surround as she begans her teleporting magic that mysterious force that pulled her to this dimension stops her and she is blown back into a nearby building causing damage to the facade.
