Raven
Author's Note:
I first met Raven through the Teen Titans cartoon. I was (being a major fan girl) aware of her in a kind of, sort of way before the cartoon. I knew there was a character named Raven who had been a Teen Titan, but I'd never been interested in the book.
Then came the cartoon, which brought back the Teen Titans as they were in the 80's. And there was this dark girl who made me stop and stare. She was dryly funny, in her own way, and Beast Boy (my second favorite character on the show) was crazy about her, which made her all the more interesting to me.
Then I started picking up the Teen Titans book (after a period of refusing to believe it existed). And there she was, dark (though a bit less mysterious, as I took the time to look up as much of her back story as I could) and wonderful. She is, at the moment, my third favorite character in the book (Bart and Gar being first and second, respectively).
But Raven is definatly waaaay cool.
She sat atop the tower, looking down into the bay. They'd told her that it'd turned to blood, but it looked clean now. Not that she doubted them one bit. She had been very close to bringing about the end of the world… again… and she knew it. All because of that disgusting little child.
Child….
She looked down at her hand. She looked like a child again. She felt like one too, like everything was going to break through all at one. It was a feeling she didn't like. All her life, she'd been battling her own emotions, and now they kept trying to bubble to the surface again. It hurt.
