Raven - Bijou Planks 112/365
Raven is the daughter of Trigon, an other-dimensional being of great power and great evil. Raven's mother, Arella, is human.
Aware of Trigon's desire to subjugate and destroy Earth, Raven tries to alert the Justice League. However, Zatanna, sensing the evil of Trigon through Raven, warns the League away from her.
In desperation, Raven uses her powers as an empath to manipulate young heroes into forming the New Teen Titans, patterned after the original group. The team consisted of Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy (then known as Changeling).
Though Raven had manipulated the others, her motivation was for Earth to be protected. The Teen Titans came to understand these things and the team, though formed in guile, became a family.
With the Teen Titans, Raven battled a number of villains but, all the while, she watched and waited for Trigon's coming. As that time drew closer and Trigon's power and presence was more acutely felt by Raven, there were times when she was overpowered by him and took a form resembling him.
The Teen Titans fought for her during these times and never turned her away or lost trust in her.
When the battle with Trigon finally came, the team had bonded so that, despite Trigon's power and despite setbacks, losses, and very hard lessons along the way, the Teen Titans were victorious. Though they could not defeat Trigon, such is his power, they were able to deny him Earth.
Raven was cleansed of Trigon's control and influence.
As the daughter of the inter-dimensional destroyer Trigon, Raven is very powerful and has displayed a vast amount of abilities. Because Raven's nature is intensely emotion-based, her abilities have fluctuated wildly in power over her career, depending on the circumstances.
She is firstly an empath, able to sense and alter the emotions of others. She can induce calm, suppress negativity, and even make someone fall in love with her.
By absorbing the pain of the wounded into herself, she can induce rapid healing for the affected person while she suffers in their place.
Raven can astral project a solid black energy form that takes the shape of a bird, called her soul-self. Her soul-self can travel long distances, become intangible, and is able to telepathically communicate. It can act as a shield as it can absorb a limited amount of energy and solid matter, regurgitating them before reintegrating with Raven.
Using her soul-self, she can convert her physical body and carry or teleport herself and others over a limited distance.
Her soul-self can mentally subdue at least one person by enveloping them inside of itself. Raven's soul-self could initially stay outside her body for exactly five minutes; failure to reintegrate in time would cause mental torment for her, though she eventually overcame this limitation.
She has displayed the ability to control, manipulate and or generate pure shadows and darkness.
Raven can manipulate energy, emotions and, on rare occasions, even time.
Her empathic control is her primary ability and manifests in different variations, from causing supremely destructive pain, inducing tension, fear-based illusions, and stealing emotions from others.
Before she realized that she could never stop Trigon on her own, Raven studied magic and has displayed sorcerous abilities, such as inducing unconsciousness with a touch, releasing balls of fire "within the folds of her cloak" or hurling electric blasts strong enough to take down the Titans.
She was seen to completely annihilate the demon army of Rankor numbering more than three thousand individuals and which contained powerful individual demons that had taken the Titans down in ambushes previously.
Raven also has limited precognition, which allows her to predict future events that are about to happen, although this happens involuntarily and infrequently.
Though not a physical fighter, Raven has studied with Robin/Nightwing and has proven, when necessary, that she is not without hand-to-hand skills.
