Personality:
Raven tends to have a level head about her despite her previous history, and is often quick to throw herself into situations where someone may need assistance. She tends to let her past fuel her, and her near death experiences show her the way forward. She's hard working and dedicated, but this can be to a fault, sometimes taking her far away from where she wants to be, and become almost paranoid or obsessed about pleasing the right people or gods. 
She doesn't trust many others, save for a few exceptions, and tends to keep to herself. Growing up with nothing has left her with addictive tendencies, and she will get addicted to things in order to 'keep' them, and the things she never had before. 

Once she has put her trust in you however, she's a loyal, protective and loving Rukaan. She doesn't like being examined, and few rarely know of her scars. She has a distaste for humans, though has a few that she is more tolerant of, especially after speaking in depth with them in the spirit realm.

.: History :.

Early Childhood

Raven was born the eldest calf to her parents, in a herd that was simply known as Cardinal . The herd was cruel, vindictive and did not care for any sign of weakness, no matter how old or young any of it's members may be. They prized strength and loyalty above all else, meaning newborns and young calves struggled immediately. Raven was no exception, and was forced to keep up with the adults every time they fled from human hunters that had previously tagged some members of the herd, or knew that their steeds had been stolen by stags of the herd, and tracked them continuously. One such time when Raven was merely a couple of weeks old, a group of humans happened upon the herd to hunt them for fur and meat, forcing the herd was forced to flee and leave behind any that couldn't keep up, including that of Raven, a calf that was smaller than was supposed to be at her age due to lack of feeding and nutrients.

She lost the herd quick and found herself wandering all alone in the winter days, with no warmth or food, slowly starving and freezing to death. She had little hope, and after weeks of being alone, she finally lay down without the strength to continue. 
Little to her knowledge, Yggdrasil took pity on the young soul, and blessed two ravens of black and white to watch over the young calf, to raise and look after her. 
They fed her in her infancy, and make sure she was protected at all costs. They taught her their language, all bird habits, and things they observed from Rukaan kind.

Adolescence

Still young, Raven mostly fears humans still, and vows to herself that she will train and become strong so that she needn't fear humans. In her travels she meets other Rukaan, and most are perplexed by her attachment to her bird companions, and the fact that she can speak with them. One such Rukaan is Speed , whom with which Raven strikes up a small friendship with, though keeps her distance from his human. She mostly keeps to traveling with the birds, beginning her first fights, and starting to grow stronger. 


Adulthood

Once Raven reaches her full grown state, she had started to learn of her place in the world. She learns that the god Odin reaches out and speaks to her, giving her tasks and quests to complete, in turn for promises to become his messagnger, and to consult in Huginn and Muninn. Her new role in life takes her away from her 'found' family and friends, to which Odin decides to split Raven's soul. He takes her mortality, and puts it into a separate being, R-1355 Teagan , though the pair aren't immediately aware of this, with Teagan suffering amnesia, and Raven almost forgetting her old life. Teagan does get slivers of old memories through, and uses it to find her friends and family again. The pair then meet up in the Spirit Realm constantly, and figure out their connection to one another, which they now embrace fully. 

Raven then also meets with R-0843 Calder  on her travels, and although the pair don't know why, but the gods brought them together. They fall in love, and with Calder, Raven starts the Himinn Vaettr Herd , for their family to expand together. 

Raven isn't certain why, though she knows she has a rivalry with R-1149 Vanagandr , whom is a messenger for Fenrir instead, and Odin warns against her. Vanagandr can often be seen with a pack of wolves, and the pair cross paths often, and it often ends with brutal and bloody fights. This is only made worse when Raven's adopted daughter Dove, falls in love with Vanagandr's son Drengr, and have calves and meet in secret. 

Raven also battles constantly to get stronger and never find herself in a position like she was when she was just a calf, a constant improvement to ensure she's always strong enough to battle anything that comes her way. 

Raven continues to get stronger, and eventually becomes blessed with wings and a feathered tail, so she can continue to grow and carry out Odin's wishes.
