Biography
Raven was born in El Paso, TX in 1988(where it all started) and would watch Dragonspine's demos at the Las Cruces Renfair every year. It wasn't until May of 2006 that Raven was dragged out to the park one day, and decided this was pretty awesome. Her first official date of attendance is in June of 2006 (though she can't remember what day).
Raven likes to roleplay lot, and sometimes her posts can get a little long-winded. The game has awakened her creative side once again, meaning she likes A&S. She has qualified twrice to run for office in DS proper. She has served her kingdom as GM of scouts (twice), Kingdom scribe, BOD secretary and Royal guard (of Emer I). In January of 2007, Randall aquiesced to her request and made Raven his Man-at-Arms. Twice reeve-qualified, Raven is known in her park for knowing the rulebook (or at least certain parts of it) inside and out, and for diving behind a car to survive a doomsday spell. Raven belongs to Dreamweavers (lady), Midwest Trading Company and House Murder. She also recently joined the Wolfriders under Cassandrah Scarpaw's bloodline. At Clan XXV, she began petioning the Wardancers with Francis being her sponsor. She does have a twin sister who you could mistake for her except for the fact she plays in drag. Her twin is River Swiftblade.
Oh, and one more thing: "Raven was my nickname before I got into Amtgard. It was given to me by a very dear friend of mine who passed away a year ago. That's why I'm called Raven."
The Editor would like to note that Raven does have a few nicknames to her credit:
Flurby Bio
("Oh noes, Raven found the flurb bio! Everyone RUN!"-River)
A wood elf, young even by elven standards, Raven resides in the kingdom of Dragonspine, where she has claimed land and built a modest two-story house called "Crimson Manor" because of it's being built of red sandstone. Raven is a lycanthrope who can shift into a small black wolf at will (though sometimes it's prompted by an accident or a case of rage and anger). Raven came to Dragonspine after wandering since the age of 17 from her homeland. Thought to be alone in the world with no family left, she discovered she had a half-brother, Itsari, who lives in the Celestial Kingdom. Imagine her surprise when she also found she had a cousin (River Swiftblade) and a wolf daughter ( not through the Wolfriders... yet) Luna Starbright.
