Raven is a Creator/DCComics character, a superheroine that often bounces between being a heroine and a villainess due to her demonic heritage being the daughter of Trigon the Terrible, the DC Comics equivalent of {{Satan}}. She's created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez and usually associates herself with the ComicBook/TeenTitans, although the character herself grew in popularity due to her dark nature, further boosted with the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans cartoon series]] thanks to her SugarAndIcePersonality-peppered DeadpanSnarker portrayal (especially with Creator/TaraStrong voicing her).
Raven is born from a human woman named Arella after the latter was tricked and raped by a human-disguised Trigon. Due to her heritage, she's raised in the distant land of Azarath where she started learning to control her emotions to suppress her demonic powers by the Goddess Azar. However, she learned her heritage after Azar died, and had been trying to convince the people of Azarath to take action and stop Trigon, but Azarath's pacifistic nature prevented anyone there to comply to Raven's pleas. Swearing to stop him, Raven travelled to Earth and sought help. She first asked the help from the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}, but due to ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} sensing the evil power within her, Raven was rejected. Still desperate, Raven instead sent telepathic message to some of the previous ComicBook/TeenTitans members who has since split up ([[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson/Robin]], [[ComicBook/TheFlash Wally West/Kid Flash]], [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy/Wonder Girl]]) along with some new heroes; Koriand'r/Starfire, Victor Stone/Cyborg and Garfield Logan/Beast Boy, uniting them as the new Teen Titans to help her combat Trigon. While at first distant, Raven began to accept them as her new adoptive family and began opening up from her withdrawn nature.
They eventually succeeded in sealing Trigon as he couldn't be killed, and Raven kept the Trigon influence within her, swearing to never let him get unleashed again as she continued to fight evil. However, after the Titans' first victory against Trigon, Raven has been [[TheyKilledKennyAgain killed, resurrected]], [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor becoming evil and turning good again]] and so forth for a lot of times (and also at one point, ruined a would-be marriage of Nightwing and Starfire). Her struggle against Trigon is a never-ending one, any missteps would result Trigon's return and laying waste on the world, making Raven take her duties seriously. She also occasionally adopted the human identity of 'Rachel Roth'.
As of the ComicBook/New52, it takes Raven one year to finally reappear, first as a confused normal girl who is reluctantly handed over by the Phantom Stranger to Trigon.

Raven is born from a human woman named Arella after the latter was tricked and raped by a human-disguised Trigon. Due to her heritage, she's raised in the distant land of Azarath where she started learning to control her emotions to suppress her demonic powers by the Goddess Azar. However, she learned her heritage after Azar died, and had been trying to convince the people of Azarath to take action and stop Trigon, but Azarath's pacifistic nature prevented anyone there to comply to Raven's pleas.

!!Raven provides examples of:
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Raven is usually half-demon in most continuities, but in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansEarthOne'' she appears to be entirely human [[MagicalNativeAmerican albeit not a normal one]].
* AdaptationalConsent: The exact details of her conception have varied from writer to writer, with the main difference being whether Trigon first seduced her mother Arella using a human guise or brutally raped her without any pretense.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Both of her incarnations in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon and ''Characters/DCAnimatedNew52'' universe are much less willing to go through the Trigon-induced HeelFaceRevolvingDoor that her comics counterpart.
%%* AllEncompassingMantle
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Her aunt and uncle become this to her, though she doesn't seem to mind too much.
* AnimalMotifs: Of a raven, [[CaptainObvious obviously]].
* AntiAntiChrist: She was sent to Earth to end it, but ends up being a hero who tries to save it.
* ApocalypseMaiden
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence:
** At the end of the "Terror of Trigon" arc, a purified Raven rises from the ashes of the battlefield and departs for places unknown, leaving her teammates wondering if she had died. She's later found, but falls into the hands of Brother Blood first.
** At the end of New Titans, Raven's pure soul was somehow extracted from Starfire offpanel (following the defeat of her corrupted Trigon-self) and existed in a ghostly golden "spirit advisor" form. She made a few more cameos in team events, but then vanished and the Titans assumed this had happened to her. However, it turned out that she was resurrected in a new mortal body by the ''new'' Brother Blood.
* AstralProjection: Through the use of her soul-self, Raven can project her consciousness into the mind, for therapeutic purposes (to aid in her own meditation, or to help calm an agitated ally), or for offensive attacks, rendering her enemies unconscious.
* BaldWomen: In her first appearance in the 2003 ''Teen Titans'' series. She would sport BoyishShortHair a few issues later, then sporting shoulder-length hair before growing her hair long after ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: She is the daughter of the demonic Trigon and intended to serve in destroying the world with her dark powers. Instead, she opposes him and fights for good with the other Titans.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Beast Boy in the New 52.

* CainAndAbel: Whenever Raven is given a sibling she's the Abel to their Cain.

** In the non-canon ''New Teen Titans: Games'' graphic novel, one of the Gamesmaster's playing pieces is revealed to be [[spoiler:an unnamed half sister who was abandoned and cast to Earth when she was a baby. The child grew up inside Arkham Asylum and her abilities made the insanity of the other inmates even worse. Raven manages to purge her sister's madness just before she dies thanks to the self destruct device implanted in all of the playing pieces, but before she dies Raven is able to give her a name so her soul can rest in peace: Azara.]]
* CastingAShadow: She can control pure shadows and darkness.
* ChekhovsGift: Her rings, gifted by Azar at her death, turned out to be much more powerful than readers thought. They destroyed Trigon during ''ComicBook/TheTerrorOfTrigon''.
* ChildByRape: She is this with the specifics depending on the version. In the very first origin (written before Marv Wolfman and George Perez got their act together), Trigon took Arella, her mother, as his bride while using a human guise and didn't reveal himself until much later, making her a child of rape by fraud since Arella never would have agreed had she known what he really was. The second origin, which is generally considered to be the canon (by this point, Wolfman and Perez had long settled down in their thing), Trigon brutally raped Arella. In the latest origin (written by Geoff Johns), it used the fraud explanation, but still counts as this trope.
* CleverCrows: Raven is a DarkIsNotEvil hero (when not being [[GrandTheftMe possessed]] or [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind-controlled]] by her EldritchAbomination father) whose magical powers often use a corvid motif.
* DarkIsEvil: In the New 52.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Raven has darkness based powers, and a DarkAndTroubledPast, but is at heart a hero.
* DemonicPossession: Occasionally, thanks to Trigon. And when that happens, terrible things tend to follow.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Raven's general appearance is subject to this (see "Gonk").
** The second version of "Dark Raven" was very dependent on the artist drawing her, with colorists either making her skin an outright red or a deep tan, giving her a gray skunk-stripe in her hair or leaving it entirely black, and one artist even giving her antlers like her father.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Raven's heritage is generally described as "evil" but the particulars tend to waver depending on whether Trigon is considered an evil Elder God from AnotherDimension or a straight-up [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils lord of Hell]]. Pre-Flashpoint, writers who placed Trigon as a demon from Hell also hooked him into a few demonic family trees, which inadvertently turned Raven into ''ComicBook/{{Etrigan}}'s aunt''.
* DivineParentage: She is the daughter of the demon Trigon and a human woman, something that causes her considerable angst.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Due to the popularity of the cartoon, she eventually evolves into a more DeadpanSnarker.
* {{Empath}}: Raven has the psionic power to absorb and control feelings, sensations and emotions, enabling her to feel and enter into the subconscious minds of others.
** EmpathicHealer: Could heal others, at the cost of having to feel their agony. This cannot be done to major injuries.
** EmotionEater: Initially could just instill and influence emotions in others, such as getting Wally West to believe he loved her. By volume 3, she'd developed the power to drain others of emotion as a way to help calm crowds.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: After her evil persona was resurrected in a new body as "Dark Raven" in ''New Titans'', she took to wearing a black {{Stripperiffic}} bikini and leather straps all over her arms and legs, along with thigh-high boots and a gray version of her cloak. She also displays a brief one-panel switch in Teen Titans volume 3, when her cloak and dress turn pitch-black when Brother Blood controls her to attack the Titans and send them to her soul-self's pocket dimension.
* EvilCounterpart: Had this briefly with a fellow offspring of Trigon in ''New Teen Titans: Games''. She managed to soothe the dying woman and name her "Azara", in order to give her meaning to her brief life.
* FanservicePack: In a contrast to her original slimmer "dancer's build" and gaunt look in the '80s series, more modern depictions of Raven have her with a somewhat more voluptuous body and a much larger bust size.
* {{Flight}}: With her new body came new powers and new and stronger abilities, the ability to fly at supersonic speeds being one of them.
* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: This was Raven's main power when she used the white cloak during the Wolfman era. Purified from Trigon's evil side, and no longer forced to deny emotions, she enjoyed giving happiness to everybody. Both to enemies, to make them become good guys, and to mere bystanders.
* {{Gonk}}: Although she started out with a smoother and more average face, George Perez gradually modified his take on Raven to give her a very narrow face with protruding cheekbones and a very high forehead. This was then explained away in-story as her demonic heritage showing. However, after Perez left, Eduardo Barretto drew Raven more like her initial appearance. While later artists would bring back her narrow face, the volume 3 artists drew her to be more human-like and [[ProgressivelyPrettier more beautiful]], eventually averting this completely.
* GrandTheftMe: Trigon's evil influence basically manifests as a completely separate persona within her in "ComicBook/TheTerrorOfTrigon", leaving her to astral-project herself out of fear.
** After Raven died at the end of "Titans Hunt", her evil self manifested as her own persona and managed to implant herself into a metahuman to be the second incarnation of "Dark Raven". Luckily, the evil self unknowingly implanted the soul of the good/purified Raven into Starfire. Needless to say, both "halves" of her were still equally considered Raven (the pure soul and the Trigon avatar).
* HalfHumanHybrid: The half-demon daughter of Trigon.
* HappilyAdopted: In the New 52. Raven is taken in by her human aunt and uncle at the beginning of her 2016 miniseries, and by the time it ends she's shown to enjoy being part of their family.
%%* TheHeart
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Raven's [[InTheBlood demonic blood]] seems to turn her evil at least once a year, or give her paranoia of doing so. In ComicBook/New52 she is actually still a Heel. The only difference is that Rachel has been brainwashed into being Trigon's sleeper agent in the Teen Titans, and was recently released from the mind control that was inflicted upon her turning her in Face.
* HeroicBastard: Born from Trigon raping Arella. However, this isn't consistent and some accounts state that Trigon seduced Arella before revealing his demonic nature, or even married her.
* HypnotizeThePrincess: A case in the good guys' side. When she first reunited the Titans, Wally West refused to take part in it, so Raven influenced his emotions to make him love her. It was discovered a few issues later, and gave problems for years. Thanks for nothing, Zatanna!
* IdiotBall: When Raven first came to Earth, she asked for help to the Justice League. They did not help her: Zatanna senses a great evil in her. So, she created a new group, reuniting the disbanded teen titans. And, as she explained them, the evil that Zatanna felt is that Raven is Trigon's daugther; even when she completely refuses him and tries as much as possible to prevent his arrival. Sounds fine... but didn't she tell ''that'' to the League? After all, she never denied or concealed on purpose her relation with Trigon, if it came as a reveal was because she usually says very little.
* InTheHood: She loves the Hood; it somehow conceals her face just as well as a mask but without that pesky glue. It even stays on when she flies (the animated version provides a possible explanation for this by giving her telekinesis, a power she lacks in the comics.)
%%* {{Kuudere}}
* LadyOfBlackMagic: She's dark, aloof, and has many supernatural and sorcerous powers.
* LeotardOfPower: Wore a unitard after the ''One Year Later'' timeskip that paid homage to her animated self's outfit (but covered her legs). It was later discarded in favor of her wearing a dress again.
* TheMedic: Healing is her primary power and she is a pacifist who hates violence.
%%* {{Mediator}}
* MindControl: Subjects Beast Boy to this in her first appearance in the New 52.
* MindOverMatter: Raven has the ability to psionically move objects with mind, seen for example when she uses this ability to levitate children out of a burning hospital in Dakota and move herself through the flames.
* MsFanservice: The modern depictions of Raven have very voluptuous bodies, large breasts size, long shapely legs, and the tendency that to wear attractive costumes (especially the dresses and unitard).
* MultipleChoicePast: In the case of her conception and her mother Arella. Marv Wolfman's original origin had Arella as an adopted child who didn't know her actual parents or her birth name, and it stated that she attempted to get legal help and support after her rape until she fell into despair and was taken to Azarath. In the more modern origin, Arella had the birth name of "Angela Roth" and lived in Gotham City, where she was kicked out when she decided to rebel against her controlling father. She then wound up instantly spirited away to Azarath, after Trigon raped her and she attempted to kill herself. And according to Rebirth, Angela ran away from home due to a hatred of her family's Catholicism, and began worshipping Azar before Trigon raped her.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands:In her original portrayal, she was an empath and could teleport, along with inducing feelings in others. After her revival, Geoff Johns and other writers gave her the ability to fly (to tie in with her animated version), to completely deprive others of emotions, and gradually more previously-unseen magical powers for whatever type of story they wanted to tell.
* PsychicPowers: She has powerful telepathic and telekinetic powers fueled by her emotions.
* PurpleEyes: She sometimes has these in her modern incarnation, in part due to the success of the animated Titans show. They relate to her magical nature. Officially, they're "indigo" and vacillate between being this or a deep blue. However, back in the '80s, her eyes were a standard blue shade.
* RaceLift: She is Caucasian in the main continuity, but is portrayed as a Native American in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansEarthOne''.
* ResurrectedRomance: After coming back from the dead during Geoff Johns' run, she began a long and troubled romance with Beast Boy (which roughly coincided with both of their cartoon selves becoming a Fan-Preferred Couple); they spent roughly a decade passing through WillTheyOrWontThey and settled on TheyDo when ''Flashpoint'' hit.
* RetCanon:
** Following the ''One Year Later'' TimeSkip from ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis, she donned a similar costume to the one from the cartoon (modified to include a bird symbol and leggings).
** Also the concept of a romantic relationship between her and Beast Boy originated in the TV show (or at least its fandom) before being ported back to the comics.
* ShesGotLegs: Raven's original dress (both blue and white) showed her legs. Perez always included a MaleGaze on them.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her standard personality in the comics for years.
* TechnicalPacifist: Being raised on the pacifistic land of Azarath, Raven does not like fighting, as it would also get her closer to reviving Trigon. However, if push comes to shove, she '''will''' fight on.
* {{Teleportation}}: Using her soul-self, she can teleport herself and others over vast distances.
* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Her dad is [[SatanicArchetype Trigon]]. Need we say more?
* YouCantFightFate: Raven spent years knowing that Trigon would eventually assimilate her, and that she would eventually become a demon like him. It finally happened in ''ComicBook/TheTerrorOfTrigon''. Her soul was cleansed from Trigon's evil at the end of the story.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Warning the whole Azarath and Justice League about Trigon's return, all ending up in failure because of Azarath's pacifistic nature and ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}'s evil detection.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: While not a complete EmotionlessGirl, when purged of Trigon's influence for the first time, she had difficulty comprehending her suppressed emotions. Specifically the different branches of them. Because of this her powers were greatly influenced by her extreme emotional states. She assumed Nightwing's platonic love, was no different than romantic love and this caused her powers to make him believe he was romatically in love with her without either of them knowing the true cause. Starfire caught on to this and helped her see through her mistake.
* WillTheyOrWontThey:
** With Beast Boy. Settles on OfficialCouple just before the reboot too.
** In the NTT era she had a similar relationship with Jericho, with a more UnresolvedSexualTension flair.
* WomanInWhite:
** After she defeated Trigon and wound up under Brother Blood's thrall, she began wearing white. After being freed by the Titans, she continued to wear white to symbolize her newfound purity and freedom. It didn't last.
** At the beginning of volume 3, the resurrected Raven is dressed in a white dress and cloak by the new Brother Blood. After Beast Boy helps her get back in control of her mind and powers, she rejects Blood and her uniform magically becomes blue.

[[caption-width-right:321:Raven as of ComicBook/DCRebirth [[labelnote:Click here to see Pre-New 52 Raven]]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ravenTT_4637.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
Raven is a Creator/DCComics character, a superheroine that often bounces between being a heroine and a villainess due to her demonic heritage being the daughter of Trigon the Terrible, the DC Comics equivalent of {{Satan}}. She's created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez and usually associates herself with the ComicBook/TeenTitans, although the character herself grew in popularity due to her dark nature, further boosted with the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans cartoon series]] thanks to her SugarAndIcePersonality-peppered DeadpanSnarker portrayal (especially with Creator/TaraStrong voicing her).
Raven is born from a human woman named Arella after the latter was tricked and raped by a human-disguised Trigon. Due to her heritage, she's raised in the distant land of Azarath where she started learning to control her emotions to suppress her demonic powers by the Goddess Azar. However, she learned her heritage after Azar died, and had been trying to convince the people of Azarath to take action and stop Trigon, but Azarath's pacifistic nature prevented anyone there to comply to Raven's pleas. Swearing to stop him, Raven travelled to Earth and sought help. She first asked the help from the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}, but due to ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} sensing the evil power within her, Raven was rejected. Still desperate, Raven instead sent telepathic message to some of the previous ComicBook/TeenTitans members who has since split up ([[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson/Robin]], [[ComicBook/TheFlash Wally West/Kid Flash]], [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy/Wonder Girl]]) along with some new heroes; Koriand'r/Starfire, Victor Stone/Cyborg and Garfield Logan/Beast Boy, uniting them as the new Teen Titans to help her combat Trigon. While at first distant, Raven began to accept them as her new adoptive family and began opening up from her withdrawn nature.
They eventually succeeded in sealing Trigon as he couldn't be killed, and Raven kept the Trigon influence within her, swearing to never let him get unleashed again as she continued to fight evil. However, after the Titans' first victory against Trigon, Raven has been [[TheyKilledKennyAgain killed, resurrected]], [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor becoming evil and turning good again]] and so forth for a lot of times (and also at one point, ruined a would-be marriage of Nightwing and Starfire). Her struggle against Trigon is a never-ending one, any missteps would result Trigon's return and laying waste on the world, making Raven take her duties seriously. She also occasionally adopted the human identity of 'Rachel Roth'.
As of the ComicBook/New52, it takes Raven one year to finally reappear, first as a confused normal girl who is reluctantly handed over by the Phantom Stranger to Trigon. She reappears later as "The Black Bird of Terror", however, despite Trigon bringing her in, Raven eventually prayed for both the Gods of light and dark grant her and her friends strength that JusticeWillPrevail.
As stated above, Raven is prominently featured in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon, in which she gained the majority of fans and made her a fan-favorite amongst DC characters. She is also one of the playable Titans in ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' (along with Nightwing and Cyborg) and appears in the [[ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs prequel comic of the same name.]]
----
!!Raven provides examples of:
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Raven is usually half-demon in most continuities, but in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansEarthOne'' she appears to be entirely human [[MagicalNativeAmerican albeit not a normal one]].
* AdaptationalConsent: The exact details of her conception have varied from writer to writer, with the main difference being whether Trigon first seduced her mother Arella using a human guise or brutally raped her without any pretense.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Both of her incarnations in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon and ''Characters/DCAnimatedNew52'' universe are much less willing to go through the Trigon-induced HeelFaceRevolvingDoor that her comics counterpart.
%%* AllEncompassingMantle
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Her aunt and uncle become this to her, though she doesn't seem to mind too much.
* AnimalMotifs: Of a raven, [[CaptainObvious obviously]].
* AntiAntiChrist: She was sent to Earth to end it, but ends up being a hero who tries to save it.
* ApocalypseMaiden
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence:
** At the end of the "Terror of Trigon" arc, a purified Raven rises from the ashes of the battlefield and departs for places unknown, leaving her teammates wondering if she had died. She's later found, but falls into the hands of Brother Blood first.
** At the end of New Titans, Raven's pure soul was somehow extracted from Starfire offpanel (following the defeat of her corrupted Trigon-self) and existed in a ghostly golden "spirit advisor" form. She made a few more cameos in team events, but then vanished and the Titans assumed this had happened to her. However, it turned out that she was resurrected in a new mortal body by the ''new'' Brother Blood.
* AstralProjection: Through the use of her soul-self, Raven can project her consciousness into the mind, for therapeutic purposes (to aid in her own meditation, or to help calm an agitated ally), or for offensive attacks, rendering her enemies unconscious.
* BaldWomen: In her first appearance in the 2003 ''Teen Titans'' series. She would sport BoyishShortHair a few issues later, then sporting shoulder-length hair before growing her hair long after ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: She is the daughter of the demonic Trigon and intended to serve in destroying the world with her dark powers. Instead, she opposes him and fights for good with the other Titans.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Beast Boy in the New 52.
%%* BrokenBird
* CainAndAbel: Whenever Raven is given a sibling she's the Abel to their Cain.
** In the second ''Titans'' volume the villains of the opening arc were six previously unknown half brothers by Trigon who stole their dad's powers and tried to get Raven to join them. Their powers were based on the SevenDeadlySins with Raven's evil side manifesting as Pride.
** In the non-canon ''New Teen Titans: Games'' graphic novel, one of the Gamesmaster's playing pieces is revealed to be [[spoiler:an unnamed half sister who was abandoned and cast to Earth when she was a baby. The child grew up inside Arkham Asylum and her abilities made the insanity of the other inmates even worse. Raven manages to purge her sister's madness just before she dies thanks to the self destruct device implanted in all of the playing pieces, but before she dies Raven is able to give her a name so her soul can rest in peace: Azara.]]
* CastingAShadow: She can control pure shadows and darkness.
* ChekhovsGift: Her rings, gifted by Azar at her death, turned out to be much more powerful than readers thought. They destroyed Trigon during ''ComicBook/TheTerrorOfTrigon''.
* ChildByRape: She is this with the specifics depending on the version. In the very first origin (written before Marv Wolfman and George Perez got their act together), Trigon took Arella, her mother, as his bride while using a human guise and didn't reveal himself until much later, making her a child of rape by fraud since Arella never would have agreed had she known what he really was. The second origin, which is generally considered to be the canon (by this point, Wolfman and Perez had long settled down in their thing), Trigon brutally raped Arella. In the latest origin (written by Geoff Johns), it used the fraud explanation, but still counts as this trope.
* CleverCrows: Raven is a DarkIsNotEvil hero (when not being [[GrandTheftMe possessed]] or [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind-controlled]] by her EldritchAbomination father) whose magical powers often use a corvid motif.
* DarkIsEvil: In the New 52.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Raven has darkness based powers, and a DarkAndTroubledPast, but is at heart a hero.
* DemonicPossession: Occasionally, thanks to Trigon. And when that happens, terrible things tend to follow.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Raven's general appearance is subject to this (see "Gonk").
** The second version of "Dark Raven" was very dependent on the artist drawing her, with colorists either making her skin an outright red or a deep tan, giving her a gray skunk-stripe in her hair or leaving it entirely black, and one artist even giving her antlers like her father.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Raven's heritage is generally described as "evil" but the particulars tend to waver depending on whether Trigon is considered an evil Elder God from AnotherDimension or a straight-up [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils lord of Hell]]. Pre-Flashpoint, writers who placed Trigon as a demon from Hell also hooked him into a few demonic family trees, which inadvertently turned Raven into ''ComicBook/{{Etrigan}}'s aunt''.
* DivineParentage: She is the daughter of the demon Trigon and a human woman, something that causes her considerable angst.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Due to the popularity of the cartoon, she eventually evolves into a more DeadpanSnarker.
* {{Empath}}: Raven has the psionic power to absorb and control feelings, sensations and emotions, enabling her to feel and enter into the subconscious minds of others.
** EmpathicHealer: Could heal others, at the cost of having to feel their agony. This cannot be done to major injuries.
** EmotionEater: Initially could just instill and influence emotions in others, such as getting Wally West to believe he loved her. By volume 3, she'd developed the power to drain others of emotion as a way to help calm crowds.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: After her evil persona was resurrected in a new body as "Dark Raven" in ''New Titans'', she took to wearing a black {{Stripperiffic}} bikini and leather straps all over her arms and legs, along with thigh-high boots and a gray version of her cloak. She also displays a brief one-panel switch in Teen Titans volume 3, when her cloak and dress turn pitch-black when Brother Blood controls her to attack the Titans and send them to her soul-self's pocket dimension.
* EvilCounterpart: Had this briefly with a fellow offspring of Trigon in ''New Teen Titans: Games''. She managed to soothe the dying woman and name her "Azara", in order to give her meaning to her brief life.
* FanservicePack: In a contrast to her original slimmer "dancer's build" and gaunt look in the '80s series, more modern depictions of Raven have her with a somewhat more voluptuous body and a much larger bust size.
* {{Flight}}: With her new body came new powers and new and stronger abilities, the ability to fly at supersonic speeds being one of them.
* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: This was Raven's main power when she used the white cloak during the Wolfman era. Purified from Trigon's evil side, and no longer forced to deny emotions, she enjoyed giving happiness to everybody. Both to enemies, to make them become good guys, and to mere bystanders.
* {{Gonk}}: Although she started out with a smoother and more average face, George Perez gradually modified his take on Raven to give her a very narrow face with protruding cheekbones and a very high forehead. This was then explained away in-story as her demonic heritage showing. However, after Perez left, Eduardo Barretto drew Raven more like her initial appearance. While later artists would bring back her narrow face, the volume 3 artists drew her to be more human-like and [[ProgressivelyPrettier more beautiful]], eventually averting this completely.
* GrandTheftMe: Trigon's evil influence basically manifests as a completely separate persona within her in "ComicBook/TheTerrorOfTrigon", leaving her to astral-project herself out of fear.
** After Raven died at the end of "Titans Hunt", her evil self manifested as her own persona and managed to implant herself into a metahuman to be the second incarnation of "Dark Raven". Luckily, the evil self unknowingly implanted the soul of the good/purified Raven into Starfire. Needless to say, both "halves" of her were still equally considered Raven (the pure soul and the Trigon avatar).
* HalfHumanHybrid: The half-demon daughter of Trigon.
* HappilyAdopted: In the New 52. Raven is taken in by her human aunt and uncle at the beginning of her 2016 miniseries, and by the time it ends she's shown to enjoy being part of their family.
%%* TheHeart
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Raven's [[InTheBlood demonic blood]] seems to turn her evil at least once a year, or give her paranoia of doing so. In ComicBook/New52 she is actually still a Heel. The only difference is that Rachel has been brainwashed into being Trigon's sleeper agent in the Teen Titans, and was recently released from the mind control that was inflicted upon her turning her in Face.
* HeroicBastard: Born from Trigon raping Arella. However, this isn't consistent and some accounts state that Trigon seduced Arella before revealing his demonic nature, or even married her.
* HypnotizeThePrincess: A case in the good guys' side. When she first reunited the Titans, Wally West refused to take part in it, so Raven influenced his emotions to make him love her. It was discovered a few issues later, and gave problems for years. Thanks for nothing, Zatanna!
* IdiotBall: When Raven first came to Earth, she asked for help to the Justice League. They did not help her: Zatanna senses a great evil in her. So, she created a new group, reuniting the disbanded teen titans. And, as she explained them, the evil that Zatanna felt is that Raven is Trigon's daugther; even when she completely refuses him and tries as much as possible to prevent his arrival. Sounds fine... but didn't she tell ''that'' to the League? After all, she never denied or concealed on purpose her relation with Trigon, if it came as a reveal was because she usually says very little.
* InTheHood: She loves the Hood; it somehow conceals her face just as well as a mask but without that pesky glue. It even stays on when she flies (the animated version provides a possible explanation for this by giving her telekinesis, a power she lacks in the comics.)
%%* {{Kuudere}}
* LadyOfBlackMagic: She's dark, aloof, and has many supernatural and sorcerous powers.
* LeotardOfPower: Wore a unitard after the ''One Year Later'' timeskip that paid homage to her animated self's outfit (but covered her legs). It was later discarded in favor of her wearing a dress again.
* TheMedic: Healing is her primary power and she is a pacifist who hates violence.
%%* {{Mediator}}
* MindControl: Subjects Beast Boy to this in her first appearance in the New 52.
* MindOverMatter: Raven has the ability to psionically move objects with mind, seen for example when she uses this ability to levitate children out of a burning hospital in Dakota and move herself through the flames.
* MsFanservice: The modern depictions of Raven have very voluptuous bodies, large breasts size, long shapely legs, and the tendency that to wear attractive costumes (especially the dresses and unitard).
* MultipleChoicePast: In the case of her conception and her mother Arella. Marv Wolfman's original origin had Arella as an adopted child who didn't know her actual parents or her birth name, and it stated that she attempted to get legal help and support after her rape until she fell into despair and was taken to Azarath. In the more modern origin, Arella had the birth name of "Angela Roth" and lived in Gotham City, where she was kicked out when she decided to rebel against her controlling father. She then wound up instantly spirited away to Azarath, after Trigon raped her and she attempted to kill herself. And according to Rebirth, Angela ran away from home due to a hatred of her family's Catholicism, and began worshipping Azar before Trigon raped her.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands:In her original portrayal, she was an empath and could teleport, along with inducing feelings in others. After her revival, Geoff Johns and other writers gave her the ability to fly (to tie in with her animated version), to completely deprive others of emotions, and gradually more previously-unseen magical powers for whatever type of story they wanted to tell.
* PsychicPowers: She has powerful telepathic and telekinetic powers fueled by her emotions.
* PurpleEyes: She sometimes has these in her modern incarnation, in part due to the success of the animated Titans show. They relate to her magical nature. Officially, they're "indigo" and vacillate between being this or a deep blue. However, back in the '80s, her eyes were a standard blue shade.
* RaceLift: She is Caucasian in the main continuity, but is portrayed as a Native American in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansEarthOne''.
* ResurrectedRomance: After coming back from the dead during Geoff Johns' run, she began a long and troubled romance with Beast Boy (which roughly coincided with both of their cartoon selves becoming a Fan-Preferred Couple); they spent roughly a decade passing through WillTheyOrWontThey and settled on TheyDo when ''Flashpoint'' hit.
* RetCanon:
** Following the ''One Year Later'' TimeSkip from ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis, she donned a similar costume to the one from the cartoon (modified to include a bird symbol and leggings).
** Also the concept of a romantic relationship between her and Beast Boy originated in the TV show (or at least its fandom) before being ported back to the comics.
* ShesGotLegs: Raven's original dress (both blue and white) showed her legs. Perez always included a MaleGaze on them.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her standard personality in the comics for years.
* TechnicalPacifist: Being raised on the pacifistic land of Azarath, Raven does not like fighting, as it would also get her closer to reviving Trigon. However, if push comes to shove, she '''will''' fight on.
* {{Teleportation}}: Using her soul-self, she can teleport herself and others over vast distances.

* YouCantFightFate: Raven spent years knowing that Trigon would eventually assimilate her, and that she would eventually become a demon like him. It finally happened in ''ComicBook/TheTerrorOfTrigon''. Her soul was cleansed from Trigon's evil at the end of the story.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Warning the whole Azarath and Justice League about Trigon's return, all ending up in failure because of Azarath's pacifistic nature and ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}'s evil detection.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: While not a complete EmotionlessGirl, when purged of Trigon's influence for the first time, she had difficulty comprehending her suppressed emotions. Specifically the different branches of them. Because of this her powers were greatly influenced by her extreme emotional states. She assumed Nightwing's platonic love, was no different than romantic love and this caused her powers to make him believe he was romatically in love with her without either of them knowing the true cause. Starfire caught on to this and helped her see through her mistake.
* WillTheyOrWontThey:
** With Beast Boy. Settles on OfficialCouple just before the reboot too.
** In the NTT era she had a similar relationship with Jericho, with a more UnresolvedSexualTension flair.
* WomanInWhite:
** After she defeated Trigon and wound up under Brother Blood's thrall, she began wearing white. After being freed by the Titans, she continued to wear white to symbolize her newfound purity and freedom. It didn't last.
** At the beginning of volume 3, the resurrected Raven is dressed in a white dress and cloak by the new Brother Blood. After Beast Boy helps her get back in control of her mind and powers, she rejects Blood and her uniform magically becomes blue.
