Name: Raven
Nickname: As far back as anyone has remembered, the only name anyone has called her was 'Raven.'
Gender: Female
Age: ? ? ?
Birthday: ? ? ?
Species: Human/Shifter
Appearance
Hair: Long, straight, thin, white
Eyes: A murky, robin's egg blue

Attire: She wears clean but very worn out, loose fitting robes, shawls, and skirts of all colors.
Vocals: Old, higher pitched
[as I say]
(Like this, but... uhh... A little less surreal. A little more human. A little less Native American.)
((And yes, this is the best I could do. I spent over an hour looking for an appropriate picture... You know how hard it is to find an old woman picture?? ))
Personality: She is whimsical, and very prone not to take sides. She can sometimes be so non-judgmental that she fails to have an opinion or stance of her own... sometimes, but not always. She is usually somewhat serious and has been known to be either confusingly cryptic or painfully blunt. She is very spiritual and knows a little about a lot of things.
Sexuality: No one really knows...
Strengths: Knowledge of herbs, stones, spells, nature, ailments.
Weaknesses: Physically weak and slow. As stated above, she can be overly hesitant to make judgments at times.
Abilities
Active: Empathy -- No, she can't read your mind, but she can feel your/your dog/your cactus' emotions if she focuses her mind. It's not wise to lie to her.
Passive: She can make more potions, lotions, and brews than you can shake her staff at; for reasons ranging from a sore throat to creating lust or insanity to inducing prophetic dreams, and probably whatever else you can think up. She also knows rituals and ceremonies to find out or accomplish what she wishes.
Weapons: A natural wooden staff, worn down by the decades; with various stones, symbols, bones, beads, and feathers dangling from leather strings attached at the top of the staff.
Animal Form: Raven (Who woulda guessed, right?...)
History: Raven has been around Exodus for as long as anyone can remember. She doesn't readily talk about her past, but from what people can gather, she came here long ago from far away to study Deuteronomy's Divide, and decided not to leave.
Secret, other-characters-would-never-know-this history: Raven was an orphan from a young age, and grew up a wild child in the forest, never experiencing human contact until she was somewhere around the age of 5-7 years old, when she was discovered by some tribal hunters. They took her in, and taught her to be more human, though she never lost her connection with the wild. She had a dream when she was a young woman about Deuteronomy's Divide, and came from far away to explore it, and commune with the spirits there. After finally arriving, she was completely unprepared for the demonic spirits and ghosts that psychologically attacked her, abandoned her quest, and settled in Exodus, in hopes of one day completing her quest. Today, she doesn't actively pursue that quest, but her hopes are not completely dead. Instead, she generally views the dream as something that lead her to an important and humbling life experience, and something that lead her to Exodus, where she is able to help others with her knowledge and skill. She often helps people by telling them which herbs and tonics can help their need, and often sends them to Briar to purchase them. She usually likes something in exchange for her knowledge and services, but she will still help those who have nothing yet to give.
