Raven (Teen Titans Go!)

Raven (Real name: Rachel Roth) is a character on the newer animated interpretation and is one of the five anti-heroic protagonists (alongside Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg) of the 2013 reboot Teen Titans Go!. Raven is a half-human, half-demon sorceress living on Earth, lending a hand to the anti-heroine team The Teen Titans. Raven is the token smart member of the team even with the genius Robin and super-genius Cyborg on the team. She is also in love with her team-mate, Beast Boy, who acts as her cheerful and fun-loving foil.

Where Robin uses his smarts for strategy and Cyborg uses his super-genius for inventing new gadgets, Raven tends to apply her intellect to basic problem-solving and ancient lore and tries to be the most sophisticated of her team. Raven has a variety of dark powers tied to her demon-half.

She is voiced by Tara Strong

Personality

Out of five Titans, Raven is the only one whose characterization in Teen Titans Go! TV Series remains faithful to that of the original 2003 series, as both are portrayed as seemingly emotionless, quiet, intelligent, speaking in a monotone, studious, and sarcastic goth girl. Even so, this Raven has a livelier side which completely unveiled if she stripped off her cloak: Her brooding side is revealed be partly a side effect of dark powers in her signature cloak, as anyone who dares to the cloak would have their minds corrupted to less antagonistic than the 2003 TV Series, arguably since Teen Titans Go!'s Trigon is portrayed more like a comic relief despite still a threat that must not be underestimated and genuinely love his daughter despite their odds.

Perhaps due to her being most mature, Raven is the only one who least prone to behave out characters unlike the rest of Titans. Even so, she still capable to behave jerkish in her own right for the sake of the show's silly format, where she displayed a colder, less patient, and snarkier personality at times.
