Raven is a Creator/DCComics character, the daughter of Trigon the Terrible, the DC Comics equivalent of {{Satan}}. Because of her parentage, she frequently slides around on the hero-villain spectrum. She was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez in ComicBook/TeenTitans, the comic and team which she is still most associated with. Raven has grown in popularity due to her dark nature, particularly thanks to her appearance in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', where she is voiced by Creator/TaraStrong.

Raven is a Creator/DCComics character, the daughter of Trigon the Terrible, the DC Comics equivalent of {{Satan}}. Because of her parentage, she frequently slides around on the hero-villain spectrum. She was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez in ComicBook/TeenTitans, the comic and team which she is still most associated with. Raven has grown in popularity due to her dark nature, particularly thanks to her appearance in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', where she is voiced by Creator/TaraStrong.
Raven was born when a human woman named Angela (or Arella) became involved with a cult and was raped by Trigon. To protect the world from her and her father, Raven was raised in the distant land of Azarath, where the Goddess Azar taught her to control her emotions to suppress her demonic powers. After Azar's death, Raven tried and failed to mobilize the pacifistic people of Azarath against Trigon. Still swearing to stop him, Raven traveled to Earth for help. She first went to the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}, but due to ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} sensing the evil power within her, she was rejected. Still desperate, Raven instead sent telepathic messages to previous ComicBook/TeenTitans members [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson/Robin]], [[ComicBook/TheFlash Wally West/Kid Flash]], and [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy/Wonder Girl]], and new heroes [[ComicBook/{{Starfire}} Koriand'r/Starfire]], [[ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} Victor Stone/Cyborg]], and [[ComicBook/{{Beast Boy}} Garfield Logan/Beast Boy]], uniting them as the new Teen Titans. While at first distant, Raven eventually began to accept them as her new adoptive family and began opening up to them.
Trigon is a recurring foe of the Titans, as he cannot be killed. Raven keeps Trigon's influence within her, and eternally struggles not to let him free by accident. Partially because of this, Raven is extremely prone to the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor and [[TheyKilledKennyAgain fluctuations between life, death, and undeath]], even for a comic book character.
In the ComicBook/New52, Raven first appears as a confused normal girl the Phantom Stranger hands over to Trigon. She reappears later as "The Black Bird of Terror", and eventually prayed for both the Gods of light and dark to grant her and her friends strength that JusticeWillPrevail.
Between the New 52 and ComicBook/TeenTitansRebirth, Raven had a self-titled miniseries (see below for tropes from that series). A direct sequel to that series, ''Raven, Daughter of Darkness'', received a 12-issue run in 2018.
In Infinite Frontier Raven and her teammates [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson/Nightwing]], [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy/Wonder Girl]], [[ComicBook/{{Starfire}} Koriand'r/Starfire]], [[ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} Victor Stone/Cyborg]] and [[ComicBook/{{Beast Boy}} Garfield Logan/Beast Boy]] are now teachers for the young students at the new Teen Titans Academy, created in honor of Roy Harper/Arsenal.
