ɪ ɴ-ᴅ ᴇ ᴘ ᴛ ʜ ᴀ ᴘ ᴘ ᴇ ᴀ ʀ ᴀ ɴ ᴄ ᴇ Raven is short and petite, standing at 5’3” and weighing in at 120lbs. She is naturally quite pale, but is working on her summer tan. Her hair is naturally dark brown, but it hasn’t been that color since she was twelve years old. She currently has her fringe dyed silver, with her hair fading into a light pastel blue as it falls down just below her shoulders. She often wears it in a loose ponytail, with her fringe falling over each side of her face.
Raven’s style is alternative, but simple. She often favours a variety of different colored short-shorts and tank tops with a flannel shirt thrown over top. She doesn’t often bother with make-up, generally just going with simple winged eyeliner. Although, if she’s got a music festival to go to, it’s a whole different story. She’ll go nuts, experimenting with different colors and looks of eyeshadow and other things.
She has matching flower tattoos (subtletattoos.com/wp-content/uploads/…) on the back of each of her hands, that are still rather new. She got them done the day they got to Miami. Her face is adorned with several piercings as well. She has 8mm spacers in each of her earlobes, a simple stud in her right nostril, two rings in let left eyebrow, and a tongue piercing. She also has her belly-button pierced, as well as some others that only those who see her without a bra would know about.
ʜ ᴀ ʙ ɪ ᴛ s • Raven’s a smoker, both cigarettes and weed. She’s a functional stoner though, never letting it become a problem or take over her day-to-day routine.
•She hums random tunes to herself when deep in thought, often not realising that she’s doing it.
• Absently fiddles with her piercings when bored or nervous.
ʜ ᴏ ʙ ʙ ɪ ᴇ s • Going to music festivals, and most of the recreational activities that go along with that.
• Art. Raven is a talented artist, and is often scribbling something down is her sketchbook, be it colorful psychedelic patterns, or sketches of people that she sees.
• Longboarding.
• Raven plays guitar and sings. She’s not great, but it’s passable. It was enough to earn her some money while travelling Australia on her own.

s ᴇ ᴄ ʀ ᴇ ᴛ s • Raven witnessed a man attempting to sexually assault a girl at a music festival, and beat him so bad he was hospitalised for three weeks. It was one of the reasons why she so readily left for New York with her dad, because the guy was a well known drug dealer in the area. She hates that she had to do it, but she doesn’t regret it for a moment.

ᴘ ᴇ ʀ s ᴏ ɴ ᴀ ʟ ɪ ᴛ ʏ Raven is in many ways, the typical hippy stoner chick. She’s relaxed, easy-going, and all about good vibes and having fun. She is always down to go out and party and dance until her legs fall off, or chill on the couch with some snacks, some good music and some good conversation. She’ll hang out with anyone, as long as they’re respectful and accepting of others and her own choices. She’s always the first to offer a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on, and it is not afraid of a deep and meaningful conversation, with anyone. Raven, though happy to form meaningful friendships with anyone, is not the kind for romance. She doesn't believe in soulmates, and doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships at this point in her life. However, she's quite open with her sexuality, and unashamed to admit that she enjoy's casual sex. She's not overly flirty, but when she's in the mood and wants someone, she makes it clear.
Her easy-going personality can sometimes seem to some people like apathy, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. She cares deeply about anyone she considers a friend, which is pretty much anyone that she doesn’t dislike, even if she doesn’t always show it. Although Raven is very slow to anger, when she does snap, it’s bad. If you somehow drive this calm, loving girl to the point of breaking, you deserve the hell that is coming your way. She doesn’t believe in pointless violence, but isn’t afraid to doll it out if she feels it’s needed.
ʜ ᴏ ᴍ ᴇ ᴛ ᴏ ᴡ ɴ Sydney, Australia. Moved to Brooklyn at 16
ʙ ᴀ ᴄ ᴋ ɢ ʀ ᴏ ᴜ ɴ ᴅ Raven was the result of a broken condom at a Year 12 Formal afterparty. Her mother wanted to get an abortion, but Daryl, the father, convinced her not to, telling her that he would do whatever it took to give that child the best life that he could. And he kept that promise, after the baby was born, and even after the mother packed her bags and disappeared one night, never to be heard from again. Raven wasn't even 3 months old when that happened, so she never knew her mother. But, because of Daryl, she never felt like she needed to.
Her father did everything he could to give Raven and him the best life he could manage. He worked two jobs, an electronics store 9-5 Monday to Friday, and a bar on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with all his spare time dedicated to spending time with his daughter. Raven loved his dad, and not once felt like she was missing out by only having one parent.
When Raven was 12, she heard Asking Alexandria for the first time, died her hair black behind her dad's back, ripped holes in all her jeans and started circling her eyes with eyeliner. She was a scene kid. But Daryl didn't care. Even when Raven's rebellious teenage attitude started, her father still did all that he could, still being a supportive, loving dad. He took her to see Black Veil Brides when they came to town, as well as many other concerts of bands he didn't personally care for, but he didn't mind. It was for his little girl.
Over the Christmas break between 10th and 11th grade, she started going through some more changes. She found that she was sick of her black hair, and found the music she used to love, as well as the fashion that went along with the scene, kind of cringy. So she cut off all her hair, threw out her band shirts and ripped jeans, packed a bag, left a note for her dad, and got on a bus. Where to? She wasn't sure. For 6 weeks, she travelled around Australia, using an old beaten up guitar to busk for her money. It was during this time that she "found herself". Coincidentally, it was also during that time that she did Magic Mushrooms, as well as several other drugs, hallucinogenic or otherwise, for the first time.
She went home a completely different person. But also, got home to the news that her dad had gotten a new job offer. In New York City. He had been spending the last few years learning how to program, and had sent a portfolio out while Raven was away, and got a job offer at a new up-and-coming tech company on Brooklyn. So he took it. Of course, when Raven got home, he was so relieved to have his daughter back that he was willing to decline the offer and stay, but Raven like the idea of moving to New York, so they moved together. Raven enrolled in Park Crossing High School and quickly got to know people. She was always friendly and relaxed to everyone, despite their scene or clique, and quickly got a reputation as the hippy stoner girl. Sure, there were people who didn't like her, but she had no enemies, and never got into any trouble or drama. When she heard about the trip to Miami, of course she was going! She wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to party in Miami.
M I S C • Raven drove all the way from New York to Miami in the car her dad bought her for her 18th birthday. It’s a long drive, but you can’t bring three months worth of drugs with you on a plane.
