Raven "The Acrobatic Princess"
"I was too closed to others, but not anymore. My friends have shown me the light!"
Raven was born in the Kalos region to her mother and father. After the accident that took their lives, she became a part of the Barnham traveling circus as a preformer. Loving to preform, she would attempt the Pokémon Showcase with the aim to become the Kalos Queen in hopes for spreading recognition for the traveling circus.
Having met David, she saw something she didn't think anyone else could have had. A kind and compasionate soul who would do anything to help others without asking for anything in return. This same spirit allowed her to become more open and trusting to others.
Though she may sound tough and bossy, inside is a caring person who wants to make sure everyone is safe. Just don't make her mad!

Personality
Good Traits
A polite young woman who is very kind, especially to young kids. She has a strong responsibility for working hard and doing what's right. She does have a good sense of humor and likes to laugh.
Bad Traits
Originally not very social to strangers, but she starts to become more open when she travels with her friends. She can be pretty bossy and is someone you wouldn't want to make mad. She is also a helpless romantic and loves to play matchmaker.
Family
At a young age, Raven's parents were caught in an accident that caused them to lose their lives. Orphaned at a young age, she was cared for by the ringmaster Barnham who became her legal guardian. Before she became an acrobat at the circus, she would often spend time in the Alola region with her Uncle Tito and her little cousin.
Hobbies
Being an Acrobat means being fit and limber, so Raven spends much time working out when she can, even doing simple things like a few stretches. However, once in a town she becomes a shopaholic, shopping at many different stores. She loves traveling around as the circus has traveled all around Kalos, thus she loves seeing all the sights.
Heritage
Though her family is from the Kalos region, she also has family that lives in the Alola region, including her Uncle Tito and her cousin Hali. Since the Alola region values family, its why she cares so much about family and their safety.
Battle Skills
Originally Raven was not a fan of Pokémon Battles because she was not a fan of seeing Pokémon getting hurt. After seeing how close her friend Marina's Pokémon became with her, she decided to begin training with her Pokémon to become closer to them. She has an average battle style.
Pokémon
Her Spritzee has been with her ever since she was a little kid. She cares for it so much that she panics when it gets injured.
Obtained as a gift in Alola, Oshawott is one of her favorite Pokémon.
The rest of her Pokémon team information is being worked on.
Summary
Past before Journey
Ever since she was a young girl, Raven had been a performer at the traveling big top circus that is runned by her guardian. She lived her every day life traveling with the circus all over Kalos, till that fateful day she met David and Pikachu. At first, she couldn't understand why someone like him was so generous and helping. Seeing something special, but also thinking he's too clumsy, she joins him in his Pokémon journey through Kalos. Though she just acts like she's tagging along, she would later admit to seeing David as a friend. In terms of personality, Raven is much like the big sister of the group, looking after the others. She may act tough, but that is due to the fact that she cares, part of the reason she joins the adventure.
Information
Raven is incredibly acrobatic for her age, being able to keep her balance well and she's well coordinated. To be able to do her many feats she is very healthy and exercises everyday, even if its just a few stretches. Because she's so well fit, she can easily catch up with the active David when he rushes off, though on some occasions she'd rather think things out before rushing. She often considers those who rush in before thinking to get into more trouble than they solve. Yet despite this, she gets surprised when David is winning in situations like so, contributing to elements of either luck or a fluke, but knows that he is actually really skilled at battles. As for Randy, she never really gets annoyed or frustrated with his careful and timid personality because she can understand.
Because of the loss of her parents, Raven is somewhat overprotective and tries to prevent the others from pushing themselves so that they won't get hurt. However, as David's bond with his Pokémon grows as they push themselves pas their limit, being as they fight together, she grows out of her overprotective phase. However, she still has several of her other faults, one of which is when she's angry. According to David, an angry Raven is five times scarier than an angry Lena. Though she wouldn't get as angry as she did before the more she travels, one thing that won't die easily is her interest in shopping, dragging David and Randy with her to many shops. Even if she doesn't shop for clothes as much as Lena, she finds other items to buy and would argue with David about the importance of her items as opposed to buying food like he would (well more of a debate than an argument). She can also be a bit of a romanticist, able to easily tell who is a pair, even if they deny it. It's also this romantic personality that makes Raven question why David apparently has many good/close friends who are female.
Trivia
- Despite being from Kalos, she actually knows more about Alolan culture than she does about Kalos. This is likely due to having family in Alola and spending plenty of time in that region.
- Though she is a romantic, she never really makes an attempt to find a man/boy that she would fall in love with. There's a chance because of her early anti-social personality that prevents her from looking for love.
- Her outfit when spending time in Alola resembles that of an Oshawott, claiming the Pokémon to be one of her favorites. She was surprised to find that both David and Lena had caught Oshawotts themselves.
- She is strongly resistant to very spicy food, even creating a curry recipe in Galar that was incredibly spicy. Too spicy for even her friends.
- Her hair was originally shoulder length, but as she starts to act more feminine she grows it out a little bit by Galar to where it is slightly behind her back.
- When she attempts the Pokémon Showcase, it was mainly impulse by her friend Marina. Ever since then, she made it to the final round of the Showcase, but was unable to win the title of Kalos Queen.
- Her personality makes her my first true Tsundere character, but by the time of the Battle Revolution arc of my story, she is more open with her feelings.
Marina
[ Childhood Friend/Rival ]
Raven and Marina are actually friends that met when they were very young, around the time Raven became an orphan. They met up again when Raven was traveling with David and Randy through Kalos where she learns that Marina is preforming in the Pokémon Showcase. Marina really cares for Raven as a friend.
David
[ Best Friend/Travel Companion ]
Orignally, Raven decided to travel with David to make sure he doesn't hurt himself believing him to be careless and reckless. Although hesitant to admit it at first, she eventually admits that she sees David as a friend.
Lena
[ Friend ]
When Lena came to visit Kalos, they got a chance to meet. Raven can see that Lena has feelings for David and often encourages her to tell him.
Randy
[ Best Friend/Travel Companion ]
David and Raven met Randy in the woods on their way to Santalune City, where she helped him locate a group of Scatterbug for his scrapbook. Though she doesn't mind him being safe, she didn't like to see him being so timid and often tells him to man up.
Grace
[ Best Friend/Travel Companion ]
Raven and Randy met Grace when they meet up with David in Galar at Wedgehurst. To Grace, she's like a big sister who looks out for her.
