HISTORY
The daughter of the peace-loving Arella and the demon Trigon, Raven was brought up by the worshipers of Azar and taught to control emotions lest they let her father gain a hold of her. A powerful empath, she was able to sense and take on the emotions of those around her, even taking their pain and wounds. In an attempt to stop one of her father's evil plans, she brought together the second group of Titans, growing close to some of them, particularly Wally West, Kid Flash, later the Flash.
In time, her father's influence began to overpower her and she opposed her former team-mates, possessing some of them and ruining the lives of others before a cataclysmic confrontation which left her as being of pure soul.
