** [[spoiler: Ostromir reveals Akanthus is likely a failed, exiled experiment named Sobieslav from Azaveyr. Sobieslav is the only survivor of a series of experiments who rose to become ferocious Magister. After an incident at his research facility which he was the only survivor again, Sobieslav chose to be exiled as his punishment.]]

* [[spoiler: FlawedPrototype: In a Magesterium attempt to rectify a crippling downside to their own powers, their greatest success and greatest failure was Sobieslav, highly implied to be Akanthus' true name. Sobieslav is completely immune to magic to the point where Ostromir believes the Magisterium has no way to contain him. The only reason he isn't a SuperPrototype is he has absolutely no aptitude for magic, much to the dismay of his creators, nor did he solve the crippling downside he was made to solve.]]

* BrokenPedestal: As originally written, she's Jaania's most loyal supporter. After the Sandsea Proclamation Rift comes with a message that it is in retaliation against Jaania, and Duat and Hansa's forces are hung out to dry by the Rose' central leadership, she goes to Jaania to demand an explanation. At that meeting, Hansa is so disgusted by Jaania being willing to sacrifice entire inhabited regions to buy time for her grand plan that she almost resigns on the spot (Only staying on because of a mix of Jaania agreeing to moderate her approach, and the situation becoming much worse).



* EnemyMine: She is one of the few Rose members willing to work with the Hero against greater foes.

to:

* EnemyMine: She is one of the few Rose members willing to work with the Hero against greater foes. As of the Proclamation War, she's willing to work alongside [[LaResistance the Vind]] as a whole.
* FantasticRacism: She assumes that the magical refugees hiding in Falconreach will [[TheFarmerAndTheViper inevitably turn on the human townspeople]] and give the Rose an excuse to take the bastion of resistance over. Jaania calls her out on looking forward to taking advantage of a crisis. (Ultimately, this betrayal never happens. A different crisis does give the Rose an opportunity to try carrying out Hansa's plan, but it fails because of just how much of Falconreach still hates the Rose.) Currently, she's not showing these sentiments so much.



* RankUp: She's promoted to Grand Magus and one of the leaders of the Greenguard Alliance to lead the Rose's front of the Proclamation War.




to:

* WhatTheHellHero: She's understandably pissed when her her attempts at showing how the Rose has been a positive force in the world indirectly leads to the Hero in their distrust being tricked into reviving Sek Duat.

Her parents were slain by a glass golem in the middle of the night and Raven managed to escape to Amityville. However, none of the residents there were willing to let her in out of fear of the horrors outside except for Thursday, who warmly gave her shelter.]] This strongly fuels Raven's loyalty to Thursday.
