Key Information Raven Marie Turner is a fifteen year old human female.
Appearance: Lets start with what some call the windows to the soul, the eyes. Raven's eyes are an attractive shade of ice blue. She does not let her emotions show through her eyes or through her body at all for that matter. When she is very tired dark wrings will appear under her eyes. While it would not be that noticeable on the average skin tone Raven is very pale, something that makes the black rings stand out when they appear. Her long waist-length hair is jet-black. As far as style goes she prefers to leave it down and not mess with it at all, giving it a natural look. When it comes to build Raven is tall and slender yet rather flat and not at all curvy. When Raven is getting dressed she likes to go with a simple yet dark look.
The shirt for a average outfit for her would be a ragged, loose, black t-shirt. For pants she wears old ragged black shorts that go down to her knees. For shoes she wears hard jet-black combat boots that are often splattered with mud. Her backpack is more like a large, old, rumpled, black sack with a strap on it that she likes to sling over her shoulder. As far as accessories go there is only one thing she wears, a simple amulet that consists of a chunk of amber with a leather string going through it and attaching it to her neck.
Personality: If you where to tell someone that knew Raven that you thought she was perfect there is a good chance that they would burst out laughing. Raven is not a sweet girl, in fact she is rather cruel. She is often the one to start fights, fights that will often be meaningless. It is hard to impress her, you could take on a whole pack of wild Pok?mon with you're bare hands and she will ether call it dumb luck or call you a liar. She is very rude, most often she will not stop to check if something might be insulting before she says it. When she does take a moment to check it is probably because she is in a fight with someone and needs a good insult. This girl is brutally truthful when it comes to telling someone what she thinks about them, if she thought the league champion was a stuck up jerk she would tell him, right to his face with quite possibly a few swear words thrown in. While many people would hold their tongue, worried about what other people would think of them Raven will not for she does not care what others think of her, for the most part at least. There is some part of her deep down that does care what people think of her and longs for a human friend, although her overall aggressive personality prevents it for the most part.
While Raven does not get along with humans for the most part she likes cities, well as long as she does not have to stay in them for more then a week anyway that is. If she is there longer than that she will begin to get annoyed by all the people around her and attempt to get out as soon as possible. While her skills with other humans are not very good she loves Pok?mon and seems to get along with them rather well.
Raven is very sensitive. First off if you become very close to her you can call her Rae although she will not be happy about it, however if you are not very close she will probably snap at you. Little things can set her off, from not walking at the right place to the volume on the T.V. being to high. However, this does not stop her from being reckless and jumping in to things before shes has really thought it threw.
While Raven is very flawed she does have some redeeming qualities. She is brave, something that enables her to stand up for what she believes in. She is loyal, once you become her friend she will not betray you unless you betray her. And best of all, no matter how rude, aggressive, and violent she might be, she has a good heart.
History: Raven was born in the region of Johto, Goldenrod City Melissa and Jonathan Turner. While the average pregnancy would produce one, maybe two, children Raven was not part of an average pregnancy, in fact it was more like a litter. Raven was one of a group of quintuplets consisting of two girls and three boys. However the only other girl in the group, Carla Turner, died soon after birth. However, having only four children did not calm Raven's father's nerves.
He wanted one child, no more, no less. Four children was more then he thought he could handle, physically or mentally. So, one week after his children as soon as Melissa got out of the hospital, Jonathan Turner ran away from his family and his responsibilities. And so within a week of being alive Raven's family had gone from a family of seven to a family of five.
The first four years of Raven's life where rather uneventful, she rarely left the house let alone leave the city, instead she spent most of her time playing with her brothers, Finn, Jack, and Jake. However this all changed one day, all because her mother turned on the television. As she was channel surfing she saw a news report about a hostage situation in Kanto. She hesitated for only a moment, but a moment was all it took for the reporter to report that one man had been killed. As soon as these words left her mouth she announced that his name was Jonathan as a picture of the man flashed across the screen. She did not say the mans last name, however that was all it took for Raven's mom to break down sobbing and turn off the television. When her husband had left she removed all of his pictured from the house and never told her children about him, only telling them that he was gone. If she had Raven would not have asked what was wrong, she would have known that her father had died.
Upon discovering that her husband had died Melissa fell deep in to depression, turning to drugs and alcohol for comfort. While she fed her kids she did not really pay attention or care about them, maybe if she did she would have noticed and Jake would have been saved. Eight years after their fathers death Raven and Jake fell in with a gang. They remained in the gang without their mother even noticing for a year, until the day they got in to a fight with a rival gang. The cops came due to multiple reports of gunshots, however it was to soon for Jake. Raven's brother had been shot and died in her arms.
When Melissa found out about this she finally realized that she was neglecting her children, however this did not take her take better care of them. Instead she hung herself the night after Jake's death, officially making her remaining children orphans. Raven, Finn, and Jack where sent to live with their aunt in just outside Solastella. Very recently Raven has decided to go on a Pok?mon journey in Solastella for one reason, a new start.
RP Sample: Raven sat on her bed on the S.S. Blossom, gazing out the window with a blank look on her face. It had been a mere three days since Jake had been killed and her mother had killed herself. She was now on a boat traveling to Solastella where she would live with her aunt. The raven-haired girl scowled at the thought, she would rather live in an orphanage then with some woman that she never met and would probably to to 'help her.' At least the people at the orphanage wouldn't pretend to like her, she had no problem believing that her aunt would. With a sigh she rested her head against the window, her ice-blue eyes gazing out at the serene ocean waves. Jake was one of her very few friends, one of the few people that really understood her. Now he was dead and anyone else she was really close to had been left behind, she was officially alone now.
Role Play Sample: This is from Solastella.
It was official, Raven despised route one. So far her entire time as a trainer had been spent on the pitiful route, why? Because she got lost. She, Raven Turner, got lost. When she had been setting up camp on the first night she wandered off the path and in to the forest to find a nice spot. It seemed that she had wandered a little to far in for in when she woke up she wasn't able to make heads or tails of where she was. So she wandered through that forest for who knows how long. Just her, a few pairs of clothes, some food that was rapidly running out, and her Cyndaquil.
With a sigh she sat down on a fallen log, Cyar running to sit next to her. The girl reached behind her back and pulled off her backpack, wincing as a few strands of her long messy black hair got caught on the strap. She then opened it up and began to sort through it. It was noted that she still had her entire starting kit, including a map. Not that a map would do her much good at this point. The thing that worried Raven was the lack of food. All that remained was a pack of crackers and a half-empty can of water. Soon she would have to scavenge or starve.
A scowl formed on her face as her stomach rumbled. She had been surviving off one meal a day as she tried to save food. At least, she had been until two days ago. As she reached to put the crackers back in the bag Cyar jumped up on her lap and exclaimed, "come on Raven, you have to eat. We can forage for food when we run out, or try our paws at hunting!"
A grin formed on the Cyndaquil's face at the mention of hunting. Even if he was an unevolved Pok?mon he would love to try his hand at being a predator. Although Raven shook her head a small smile had made its way across her lips, Cyar always had a way of cheering her up. She then opened up the crackers, taking out out for herself and offering another to Cyar. There where twelve total, enough to last them six days if they paced themselves.
