Biography
Raven has played Amtgard for several years, starting in May of 2006. They has seen a lot, and been involved in their kingdom from the very beginning. They re known for dragging people out to play, among them their twin River Swiftblade. In October of 2008 they were asked by Ironpaw to be his squire. They have one Man at Arms Kitari. They have served in office as GM of Scouts, Scribe, Prime Minister and Regent (pro-tem); they also has been on the Royal Guard a total of three times. Known for their quirky attitude and tendency to be over-enthusiastic, they can be seen on the field any given Saturday having a blast.
Raven, after being away from the park for a year, is slowly coming back out as school and their mundane life have slowed down enough to let her enjoy hitting people with sticks.
The Editor would like to note that Raven does have a nickname, most notably “Little Raven” given to them by Itsari. Yes, they are aware there are dozens of people in Amtgard named Raven. They warn the newbies not to use it. AT ALL.
Random facts:
- loves role playing, A&S and service.
- Reeve qualified (actually needs to go take another reeve test).
- dove behind a car to avoid a doomsday spell.
- has a twin, River Swiftblade. Don't worry, they're really easy to tell apart. Except when Raven cut their hair as short as River's!
- likes schwag and bartering. Has been known to show up at events with bags of random junk/treasure.
- might have possibly, through their fervent requests for rain, brought down Hurricane Dolly upon all Amtgarders at Exodus of the Clans 2008.
- Their favorite drink is coconut rum, and they have been known to hoard the bottle of it even if she didn't purchase said bottle.
- Is taller than Belgarin by one inch (we checked!).
Important Note Raven identifies as gender queer, meaning they have no specific gender/ are androgynous. Their preferred pronouns are they/them/theirs. Their persona, however, is still female.
Flurby Bio
Raven is a High Elf, born from the union of a necromancer (her mother) and a werewolf (her father). After wandering for a time, she found passage on board a ship and took it. A mysterious fog took the ship by surprise, and after a strange voyage, with Raven being the only survivor, found port in the capital city of Dragonspine. After settling for a time with Sir Randall as her master, she was brought into the service of Sir Ironpaw, eventually adopted as his daughter and taking on his last name. This was of course after the fact she discovered she had a half-brother in the Celestial Kingdom, Itsari. She further expanded her family when she adopted Whistler and Kitari. Whilst visiting in Pegasus Valley, her lycanthropy inherited from her father reared its ugly head, and it wasn't until she was bitten by Cassandrah did she gain control over it.
Raven has the ability to transform into a small black wolf, mostly at will but sometimes by accident, or in a case of rage. She has been possessed by a demon, captured by gypsies and infected by a shade (but see, that was kinda Whistler's fault, he opened this book and... never mind), causing her left arm to not be as strong as it once was. After completing her mission in the North, Raven remains at home and helps her master with many matters.
