Raven Queen

Raven Queen is the main protagonist from the Ever After High franchise.

With no desire to be the next Evil Queen, Raven Queen stands against following destiny and is conjuring up one herself where she can lead a happy life, putting the destiny of Apple White, her pre-determined "nemesis," at risk. Nonetheless, Raven still cares about Apple's feelings and tries to reach a compromise.

Raven was inspired by Bella Sister, the first student at Ever After High who denied her destiny and ran away with Brutta Sister from the forgotten tale: The Two Sisters.

Appearance
Raven has soft purple eyes and long, wavy black hair with purple streaks. Her hair around her face is pinned up from middle part and out of Raven's face. Her clothes often have a color scheme of violet, black, and silver, representing a rebellious style. It is shown her clothes have chains as a belt for her dress.

Raven wears a top and skirt. Her black top shimmers purple and green and her skirt is a purple top layer trimmed with black lace and a frilly mesh underskirt, two layers in purple and lilac. Raven wears a silver tiara with several spikes. She has a silver high collar with feathered shoulders held together by a purple pendant. Raven has a silver belt held by a single chain embellished with a raven skull pendant on the end and a series of spiked bracelets which are connected to her purple ring by chains. She also wears black net tights (grey in the cartoon,) and high heeled black shoes with silver chains. Raven carries a black and silver clutch bag with a silver mirror on the front.

Personality
Despite being destined to be the next epitome of evil, Raven Queen is nothing but a kind, very smart, friendly and down-to-earth girl, born with a sarcastic side who wants to stay true to herself. It is because of this that she fights to change her destiny and started the Rebel movement at Ever After High. Even so, Raven is a considerate person. She is a music lover, has a beautiful singing voice and she plays both piano and guitar. Raven is easy to get along with and will convince you to be free- even if that means keeping your destiny.

Abilities
Raven can telekinetically control or levitate anything. She has trouble containing her spells due to her temper. Raven's power can transform her or anything else around her. Normally, Raven can wilt flowers. When she purposely makes magic, it turns into a shape of a flower before turning into flames whenever she levitates. If Raven tries to cast a good spell, it often backfires as Raven is aware that: Dark Magic + Good Intentions = Catastrophe.

Like Apple, she can summon the help of creatures, but Raven's help comes from less favorable creatures, such as bugs, bats and Goblins and Raven must summon them by demand rather than singing or polite request.

In Way Too Wonderland Raven signed The Book of Legends which gave her her full evil powers that she instantly could control. Later on she continued to train her magic so she could use it to good but not with good results. In Dragon Games she had learnt finally to use her magic for good. Her magical powers, be it good or evil, are so strong she could even break a spell her mother had cast around her.
