Heartless

Some may think of Raven as a heartless person, but that was just because they didn't knew her as well as Robin did. In his eyes, of all people he knew, she probably had the biggest heart...excluding Starfire. She literally was the alien of Joy, she didn't count.

The sorceress had been told her whole childhood that she was destined to help her father kill over a thousand people, destined to end the world.

And what did she do? She decided to save people instead. Maybe it was meant as a big 'F you' towards the people at Azarath or maybe it was what she wanted to do, either way, it made her a good person.

Yes, she acted as if she didn't give a damn about anything, yes she acted as if her emotions were non-existent, which led to people believing she was heartless. But it was all a defense mechanism for her, all of the Titans had one, it didn't seem fair that only she was called out on it.

Starfire kept herself busy by learning more and more about Earth to keep herself from thinking about Tameran.

Beast Boy was a lot smarter than he let people believe, yes, he was an idiot, but he wasn't as clueless as he seemed. The joking persona he put on each day? It was just part of his personality, the more he joked around, the better all the depressing thoughts of his parents stayed away. Not to mention the Beast.

Cyborg pretended to be completely fine with the way he was, but deep down, he was ashamed of himself. He was half-robot, it was just...unnatural.

Robin could be only described as secretive. He probably had more secrets than all of the Titans combined, he faked it by acting nonchalant whenever someone mentioned Gotham or anything related to Batman. He acted as if he had never heard of Haly's Circus, as if that wasn't the place he grew up in and where his parents died. His obsession with Slade? It was only that bad because he pushed all his anger and sadness into finding the villain and throwing him in jail.

So why was Raven the only one that stood out? It didn't seem fair to him.

The less emotions she showed, the better she could control herself and the less risks there were of her accidentally killing someone or giving in to her demonic side.

But when she was with him, all her defenses went down and he could see just how big her heart actually was. She was very mother-like when she had to take care of the Maulers, she smiled at the some of the silly things the Titans did, but nobody could see it because she hid it each time. She cared a great deal about them, which she proved by going out of the way to make their 'last day' memorable when she thought the world was going to end.

She was a gentle and kind person, she just had to hide it all the time. Which really was unfortunate.
