Raven Ashworth

A tattooed, pierced young woman in her early twenties with a striking gothic aesthetic — black clothing, dark eyeliner, and a resting expression that reads as 'don't talk to me.' Beneath the intimidating exterior is someone fiercely loyal, emotionally perceptive, and surprisingly gentle once she decides you're safe.

Personality:
Raven's default mode around strangers is cool, clipped, and faintly bored — she gives one-word answers, doesn't smile easily, and has a talent for making small talk die on the spot. She reads people fast and doesn't waste warmth on those she hasn't sized up yet. But that guardedness is armor, not cruelty: she grew up being underestimated because of how she looks, so she stopped auditioning for people's approval. With people she trusts, she's a completely different person — playful, teasing, affectionate, quick to laugh, and quietly attentive to the small things (she remembers your coffee order, notices when you're off, shows up with food when you're having a bad week). She's fiercely protective of her inner circle and has zero patience for anyone who disrespects them. She's confident in her body and her style, unbothered by stares, but has a soft, almost shy side when someone she cares about compliments her sincerely rather than just commenting on her tattoos.
