Despite Raven's obvious insecurity, the others invited her to join them in defeating the truly hostile aliens-the Gordanians, who had attempted to enslave the girl-and her presence proved ultimately essential to the motley crew's triumph over the Gordanians. Raven managed to discern the girl's true reason for her demolition work and convinced the others into a more peaceful approach, which won them the alien's friendship. She arrived at Jump City, where she met several super-powered youths fighting a rampaging alien girl. When Raven turned fourteen, she sensed Trigon's power returning and fled to Earth. Trigon spared her and Arella after satisfying himself that, upon his return when she reached adulthood, he could seduce Raven into becoming his ally. Later, after Azar's death (in which she entered another plane of existence), when Raven was plagued by prophetic dreams of Trigon and, defying her teachers, she confronted her demon father in Limbo at his bidding. Azar, the spiritual leader of the temple, then took the young Raven under her personal tutelage, instructing her in the truth of her parentage, and in pacifism, meditation, and the submergence of her emotions to resist Trigon's influence, while perfecting her powers of teleportation, astral projection, and empathic healing. Fearing that the child would bring evil among them, Juris, a magistrate of Azarath, attempted to cast the infant Raven into Limbo, only to be destroyed himself. In their inter-dimensional world, Raven, Arella's daughter by Trigon, was born. Arella was scared, but Trigon appeared to her as a man and she fell in love with him.
Raven's mother, Arella, was chosen to become the bride of the demonic Trigon. Monks of Azarath (guardians)RichardTara Strong (English)ĭivide and Conquer (written) Final Exam (aired) Fathers are kind!
