SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW

HISTORY

RAVEN WAS BORN PREMATURE AND HER MOTHER SUFFERED FROM A VERY BAD CASE OF POST PARDON DEPRESSION. RAVEN HAD SOME HEART AND BREATHING PROBLEMS WHEN SHE WAS BORN AND EVEN THOUGH SHE MADE REMARKABLE QUICK RECOVERIES HER MOTHER STILL LOOK AT HER AS THE UNWANTED CHILD. HER FATHER WAS ALWAYS OUT ON BUSINESS TRIPS AND NEVER HAD TIME FOR HIS CHILDREN. RAVEN WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY MULTIPLE NANNIES. HER MOTHER WOULD HIRE A NEW ONE EVERY FEW MONTHS. RAVEN WAS A LATE BLOOMER AND DIDN'T START TALKING TILL SHE WAS ALMOST FOUR. IT WAS MAINLY BECAUSE EVERY TIME SHE WOULD TRY TO TALK HER MOTHER WOULD YELL OR IGNORE HER. IT TOOK HER ELDER BROTHER SPENDING TIME WITH HER TO GET HER TO START TALKING. BY THEN IT WAS TOO LATE TO TRY AND EARN ANY AFFECTION FROM HER MOTHER. THE TWINS WERE BORN AND WERE SO LOVED AND DOTED OVER. RAVEN WAS LEFT IN THE BACKGROUND. SHE BECAME INDEPENDENT VERY QUICKLY AND LEARNED TO IGNORE HER SIBLINGS TAUNTS AND MOTHERS YELLING. GRANTED IT STILL HURT THAT SHE COULD NEVER DO ANYTHING RIGHT. IF SHE JUST LOOKED THE WRONG WAY HER MOTHER WOULD SCOLD HER. SHE DEVELOPED ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION AT A YOUNG AGE AND JUST STAYED IN THE BACKGROUND OUT OF THE WAY. THE KIDS WERE HOME SCHOOLED TILL THEY WERE TEN THEN WENT TO A PRESTIGIOUS BOARDING SCHOOL, THAT IS EXCEPT FOR RAVEN. SHE WAS KEPT AT HOME. HER MOTHER DIDN'T WANT THE FAMILY NAME TO BE TARNISHED BY RAVEN EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS AHEAD IN SCHOOL. RAVEN JUST TURNED THIRTEEN WHEN HER POWERS MANIFESTED. SHE ALWAYS LIKED ANIMALS AND HER FAMILY OWNED A FEW SANCTUARIES, (IN INDIA, ZAMBIA AND ONE IN THE MIDWEST UNITED STATES) MAINLY JUST TO KEEP UP A GOOD NAME. THEY WOULD VISIT EACH ONE ONCE A YEAR AND RAVEN WOULD ALWAYS GO OFF WITH ONE OF THE GUIDES AND HELP OUT WITH THE ANIMALS. SHE WOULD END UP WITH SCARS FROM SOME OF THE ANIMALS WHEN SHE HELPED OUT BUT THAT NEVER BOTHERED HER. IT WAS THE ONLY TIME SHE COULD BE HERSELF WITHOUT BEING YELLED OUT OR GIVE A DEATH GLARE. HER POWERS SHOWED UP WHEN HELPING WITH A SICK BABY TIGER AT THE SANCTUARY IN INDIA. FINDING OUT SHE COULD TALK TO ANIMALS WAS THE BEST THING EVER. SHE HAD A DOG AND A COUPLE OF CATS AS WELL AS A PET SNAKE. AFTER LEARNING ABOUT HER ABILITY SHE WOULD TALK TO HER PETS ALL THE TIME. IT HELP WITH HER ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION IT ALSO MADE HER FEEL LESS ALONE. SHE DIDN'T LEARN ABOUT THE CONTROLLING ANIMALS PART TILL SHE WAS ALMOST FOURTEEN WHEN SHE WHEN SHE COMMANDED SOME SQUIRES, ACCIDENTALLY, TO ATTACK THE TWINS. SHE CALLED IT OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THE TWINS JUST HAD A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES. RAVEN ONLY TOLD ONE PERSON WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND THAT WAS HER OLDER BROTHER. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER SEEMED TO CARE WHEN HE WAS HOME, WHICH WAS ALMOST NEVER. WHEN THEY WERE CONTACTED FOR RAVEN TO APPLY TO ASHFORD HER MOTHER JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO SEND HER "TROUBLED" DAUGHTER TO THE SCHOOL. HER PARENTS WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENTRANCE PROCESS AND SENT RAVEN THERE ON HER OWN. RAVEN WAS NERVOUS ABOUT GOING BUT SOON LOVED IT. IT WAS EXACTLY WHERE SHE NEEDED TO BE. SHE OWENS AN APARTMENT WHERE SHE GOES ON WEEKENDS AND DURING BREAKS. HER CATS AND SNAKE STAY THERE WHILE SHE IS IN SCHOOL. THE DOG WAS TOO OLD TO GO WITH.

ALL THE SMALL THINGS

POWER	ANIMAL MANIPULATION
POWER DESCRIPTION	HER POWER TO TALK WITH ANIMALS IS MORE OF THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THEM. ANIMALS SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND HUMAN SPEECH AND HER MIND CAN TRANSLATE ANIMAL SPEECH TO SOMETHING SHE CAN UNDERSTAND. IT JUST HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY AND SHE CAN'T EXACTLY CUT IT OFF BUT JUST LIKE TALKING WITH A PERSON SHE HAS TO BE WITHIN EARSHOT TO UNDERSTAND THE CREATURES. SHE CAN GET VERY CONFUSED ON WHO SHE IS TALKING WITH OR WHERE A CONVERSATION IS COMING FROM IF SHE HAPPENS TO BE IN EARSHOT OF SOME ANIMAL. CONTROLLING IS A BIT DIFFERENT. IT ISN'T A SPOKEN COMMAND IT IS MORE OF A MENTAL ONE. IT TAKES TOTAL CONCENTRATION AND SHE CAN'T CONTROL AN ANIMAL FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, NOT THAT SHE WANTS TO. ANY LONGER AND IT CAUSES MASSIVE HEADACHES, NOSE BLEEDS AND IN SOME CASES SHE WILL PASS OUT BUT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TILL THE TWO HOUR MARK. THE SIMPLER THE COMMAND THE EASIER IT IS TO CONTROL THE ANIMALS. RAVEN PREFERS TO JUST ASK THE ANIMAL IF THEY ARE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING RATHER THAN CONTROL THEM. IF HER CONCENTRATION IS BROKEN SHE LOOSES CONTROL.
SPECIAL ITEMS	SHE ALWAYS WEARS A KUNZITE STONE PENDANT GIVEN TO HER BY HER OLDER BROTHER WHEN SHE WAS EIGHT. IF SHE HAS AN ISSUE WITH ANXIETY SHE JUST HOLDS IT AND FEELS BETTER. IT IS ON A LONG CHAIN SHE SHE CAN HIDE IT UNDER HER CLOTHS. SHE USES A ROUND POLISHED AMETHYST STONE WHEN SHE IS CONTROLLING ANIMALS. IT HELPS WITH HER CONCENTRATION.
