Powers- Acclaimed offspring of a powerful sorcerer, Raven has an affinty for magic. She can preform minor and moderate spells, usually using her staff. Another power that she has possibly inherited from her father was precognition. She rarely goes into trances which tell her of future events; this also fuels her danger sense. Because she has a mother who was a Harpie she has regenerative properties, agility, and acrobatics. Raven can also achieve flight with the aid of her wings.
Abilities- Skilled in combat, swordmanship, point blank accuracy, knowledge of basic magic spells
Background- Her father was a powerful witch and her mother was a Harpie. Bothe of them had died in a war that took place ages ago. An orphan from birth she was raised by herself and grew up in the wilderness. She was taken in by a martial artist who taught her everything he knows in several fighting styles and forms. Soon after she became an assassin and mercenary. She is a loner and travels the world making a living collecting bounties, stealing, and just as she says "looking out for number one." Her good looks work to her advantage and can help her manipulate the opposite sex. She has 2 large wings that can be summoned by Raven's will to grow out of her back when needed.
"A story has to be finished, and no matter how distracted you get, you need to force yourself to forge ahead, word by word. If your idea is boring though, and that's why you're easy to distract...well, that's a really fantastic reason for not being able to focus on the task at hand! In that case, head back to the drawing board. And again, don't give up!"- Marjorie Liu, NYX: No Way Home interview
"Really? That's INANE. Most people in life don't HAVE great power, and the few that do are almost NEVER responsible with it. The people who have the greatest responsibility are the kids with NO POWER because we're the ones who have to keep everybody else in check."- Gertrude Yorkes, Runaways (vol. 2) #11
