Personality: Her emotionless, reserved facade covers a woman who angers easily, is very confidant in her own abilities, and has a passion for life so deep, few can understand. She thrives on her abilities, her strengths, and the connections she makes with others.
History: Her father was an Elven druid, her mother a witch, and both were members of the High Council on fire use, both also made the strongest fire duo on the high council yet. However, Elders were not allowed to mate, or bare child, and were killed shortly after Ravens' secretive birth was discovered. Forced to, Raven studied her power for many years and was initiated into the High Council; the first to join the Council that was trained from birth by them. She spent many years travelling the world as a ranger in forests, seeking out misuse of elemental powers. She was also searching for potential high council members, and for herself.

.....Once, only once, did Raikha find love. Wolf was a stalwart, resolute man, and the only one who could ever challenge Raikhas' strength. The two played a nimble game of wits on their first encounter. It soon turned into a chase, and ended after Raikha dove off a cliff into a lake below; Wolf stole after her and finally got her to stop by planting a passionate kiss on her lips. After some time of venturing forests and woods together, Raikha woke up one morning alone. Wolf had simply disappeared. She never heard from him again.
.....After finishing her filter of her land, Raikha got permission of the council to begin teleporting to other worlds, and came upon the Pae'il World. She found Toga, and, feeling Toga's need to nest, made them a home, near a forest where she could spend her time. She met Torvil and Alatariel Anwarunya (known as Ala) there but, having spent as little time as possible with humans after Wolfs disappearance, never felt totally comfortable amongst them. She felt connected to both, in some ways, and was hurt by their joining, feeling jealous. She put her efforts into books, her pets, and her craft, reading much about all things that interested her, and spending time being present for her pets.
.....Torvil, one afternoon, read Raikha's feelings in an autobiography, and confronted her about it. Unbelievably insulted by his actions, and already overwhelmed by her feelings, Raikha gave in and transformed to her wolf form. She spent a good while in the woods and found a local pack, one member of which being an old guardian of Raikha's childhood. Leandra reminded Raikha of her training with a good Ordeal, and, using the wolf form to regain the sense of honor and wisdom she'd learned, Raikha retrained herself, finally returning forms after Torvil seeked her out to tell her of her pets' need for her presence. However, as she returned to her old form, the stress of the forced shape shift into a wolf stayed with Raikha, and her hair reappeared grey, her eyes wolfishly yellow. Newly refreshed, and much stronger, she returned to the Balan shop for Beleger, planning her return to the Pae'il worlds soon.
