Raven is first seen as an antagonist in Gravity Rush, but later becomes a main protagonist.

BIOGRAPHY
Raven who is originally seen as an antagonist in Gravity Rush is discovered to be a protagonist once her intentions are let known. She is later revealed to actually be good, as she is trying to thwart Kat because Alderman D'nelcia claimed that he would send a rescue team to the kids trapped at Boutourne if she can keep the missing parts of the city from returning. This was likely a trick in order to further turn public opinion against, Mayor Bosley and help up root the mayor. Raven later helps Kat defeat Nushi in Boutourne. Later, Raven helps Kat and Yunica defeat Anemone.

ARCADE
Opening

Raven is in Boutourne talking to her brother and the others before the events of Gravity Rush. Zaza asks Raven if they will ever see their families again and Raven tells him of course they will to make them feel better. Nevi suddenly attack the town and Raven fends them off. After the assault Raven states that these Nevi were different that they seemed more powerful and that they must be getting their power from somewhere. She tells the children that she will be back soon and that she promises that when she gets back she will figure a way back home.

Rival - Amaterasu

Reason - Raven is walking around when she hears growling nearby. She turns and sees Amaterasu growling at her thinking she is an enemy. Raven tells Amaterasu to calm down or else she will make regret it. Issun speaks for Amaterasu and tries to apologize when Raven looks at Amaterasu and asks if that is a talking flea. When Issun tries to explain that he is not a flea but a Pocle Raven asks what the difference is and annoys Pocle who recedes back to Amaterasu. Amaterasu begins to growl again and Raven sighs stating that she will have to put Amaterasu down like the feral beast she is.

Connection - Art plays a big role in story telling in Gravity Rush and Okami. In Gravity Rush the story is mostly told through comic strips, while Okami is mostly based on art work. Raven and Amaterasu also both only have one game in each of their series so far. Raven is named after her raven who gives Raven her powers, while Amaterasu is a wolf which is a member of the dog family.

Ending 

Raven walks back to Zaza and the others who asks her where she's been. Knowing that she hasn't found a way back to Hekseville yet she tells them the story of her journey. After awhile she suddenly feels the ground shake thinking its the Nevi Raven prepares to fight only to see that it is the Ark. The children and her amazed explore the Ark and they ask how it works. Raven smiles and says that she might have a hunch as she glows blue with the power that she obtained.

GAMEPLAY
Raven is much like Kat focusing mostly on her swift movements, devastating aerial combos, and hand to hand combat. Where Kat uses her feet for her attacks Raven would rather use her sharp nails and strong hands to claw and tear away at her foes until there is nothing left. Just like Kat her second jump is replaced with the ability to dash in any direction she desires. Though Raven seems to have a lot more control over her gravity powers than Kat does allowing her more advanced aerial combat at the price of a little power.
