Important Details
History: Raven was born in a very poor slum of Russia. Her mother was addicted to any manner of drugs she could get her hands on and her father was killed by a mad customer at a convience store he worked at.
Raven was three when her mother gave her over to the state her new boyfriend running off with her out of the country with promises of a better life. Raven cried for one week missing her mother eating nothing and sleeping little until she finally accepted the truth that she was not coming back. Raven was not adopted as she was from a poor family and her pale skin made her look sickly even though she wasn't.
Life for Raven wasn't horrible but it sure wasn't the best. She wasn't beaten or anything but lack of food and attention made
Raven the loner and quiet girl she is today. Refuge found in the few books the orphange had. It was here and the library that she found a life she could live delving into the different characters and lands around.
At eleven Raven was taken in by a nice family that wanted to adopt an older girl from Russia it being easier to get children from foreign countries for them than thier own. Raven was shipped off to America to meet her new family. They were nice and kind had a room ready for her with plenty of books and decorated with a lot of red. She liked it instantly though happy in her own room her parents wanted time with her. Not only that but they wanted to talk to her and her English was really limited.
After six months of fights between them and Raven not understanding and them not understanding her. Raven pretty much lived in her room coming home and going straight up instead of spending family time. Raven constantly left the house to go on walks making sure to return after nightfall when they were asleep. Unhappy Raven ran away many times only to be caught by the cops sleeping in the park or subway and carted back to her parents. At first they tried to connect with Raven even harder than before forcing her to spend time with them watching tv or playing games but this only made Raven want to retreat into herself even more not being the social girl they wanted. It cannot be said that Raven didn't try to fit in. In fact she did. She tried to spend time with her family but it was never enough in thier eyes and too much in her own. Raven threw herself into track an after school activity to give her parents a legitimate reason to not be at home. Between the long practices and late night track meets Raven found peace. When running she could forget about all else and concentrate soley on the goal. She could forget her problems and emotions she could forget everything and just run. Raven had found a place she belonged not only within herself but within her school. She had a few friends but not many as she was still the same quiet Raven as always. She was able to learn better English from having understanding friends and she began to improve. But her home life still suffered as she didn't feel welcome there any longer.
One night she came home her parents holding her report card in hand. Now Raven is smart when she applies herself but problem was she had lost interest in school. Her grades plumetted and she was getting C's and lower. Her parents were confused how a girl who read so much could be so stupid. Those exact words were used. Ashamed and hurt Raven did the only thing that would make her feel better. Some drink but Raven ran. She ran and ran until she could no longer breathe and catching her breath ran again. She was hurt and mad she didn't belong here or anywhere. She stayed away from her house for a week. Wanted posters and 'have you seen this girl' flyers were all over the place and it was these that allowed Raven's capture. She was once again hauled back to her family but they had given up on her and told her so. This caused Raven to retreat even more into herself.
The rift between the members of the family grew until one night they sent Raven off with some of her belongings to live with her adoptive grandmother. It was the only decision. They claimed that they loved her but could no longer support a daughter that didn't care about herself. Her Grandmother took Raven in with a smile but told her not to expect the old woman to take care of her. Raven having grown self sufficient over the course of the years had no problem with that arrangement. In fact, with their mutual silence it seemed a bond grew and every now and then she would come home to find a small gift on her bed.
Raven seemed to flourish there and though still quiet she currently lives there and is now transfering to the new school. She hopes to make a new start and join the track team at her new school.
However, soon at school she had met a boy named Felix. She and he soon fell in love and he began to allow her to show herself more. Becoming not so shy and taking better care of herself. But her grandmother died soon after leaving a small two bedroom house to her grandaughter and a decent some of money. Now Raven, is by no means rich, but she can support herself with her budgetting and is looking for a room mate if possible but with her shy nature it isn't easily done.
Fighting Style: Raven does not have much of a fighting style. She doesn't fight doesn't try to get herself into those situations. Though admittedly it has happened a few times and being strong from running track she tends to use punches and her legs to get her out of trouble. She really has no experience and therefore isn't very good. She fights with passion and emotion not skill. She stands her ground in a fight she doesn't do fancy moves or flips to dodge her opponents. She uses kicks mostly to fight because her legs are strong and most expect her to punch.
Strengths: As a runner her legs are extremely strong. Her arms are toned as she does pushups to keep her whole body toned but her legs are strong and muscular. She has great endurance.
Weaknesses: Not a very good fighter as she doesn't like to and hasn't done it much at all. She is easily left open to others attacks not knowing how to defend herself properly. Not being an experienced fighter makes Raven a slow fighter. She may be strong but her moves are slow and predictable. Her arms though toned aren't muscular so her arms are weak punches would have little effect. Not being a fighter also means she cannot take many hits. She is a long distance runner and is used to pacing herself not trying to move a lot all at once.
