Raven Rose

Raven Rose is role-played by RavenXFlames.

General Description
Raven Rose is a Supervisor with Dynasty 8. She is also secretly a Lieutenant in the Yakuza.

Personality
Except to the people who know her the best, Raven comes off as an extremely enigmatic person whose true motives behind her actions are often difficult to understand; a person who can construct any façade to suit her needs and is thus capable of acting like a living saint to some while a heartless monster to others. People, however, generally have a high opinion of her which is due to the manner in which she carries herself at all times and how she interacts with them.

Despite being a person who is considered a mystery wrapped in an enigma, Raven never fails to present herself as no less than a proper lady with a resilient air of dignity about her that seemed to be more of a byproduct of noble ancestry than any kind of conscious effort. Friendly, witty, and undeniably charming, these are but a few traits people universally like about her which allows her to make friends wherever she may be.

Raven is highly intelligent, exceedingly cunning and diabolically independent, but at the same time is also extremely sensible, calm, mature and sly. She enjoys pushing herself to the limit, both mentally and physically, and it has been noted that Raven's stress levels actually drop when the stakes are higher. Nevertheless, she is very self-controlled ( except when it comes to Honton ) regardless of the situation and does not let her personal intentions interfere with her ultimate goals.

That being said, Raven is firmly a goal-oriented person in her professional and personal life, but she often seeks these goals in an indirect and secretive manner.

Apart from her ability to effortlessly blend her secretive and social sides, Raven is likewise a master planner and is able to anticipate almost any situation with near-omniscient accuracy. Complimentary to this talent is the young woman’s near-supernatural ability of persuasion through the use of honeyed words and the strength of her own charming character to win over a person’s trust and confidence, no matter who they may be.

Always the stickler for cleanliness, order, and routine as a result of her childhood, Raven eventually fostered an intense dislike for unnecessary violence and is the primary reason why she exceedingly makes it a point to complete her 'tasks' as cleanly and as discreetly as she can manage. This belief stands most evident on the rare occasions where she would willingly modify, or even abort, her plans in order to prevent harm from befalling upon innocent bystanders when it can be helped, all the while maintaining the illusion of regularity with respect to her chosen targets.

Appearance
Raven is a petite, sweet-looking girl at first impression, standing at around 5'4". Her best feature is her hair, light blue and falling in loose irregular waves over her shoulder. Fat hanks of hair constantly fall across her face, giving her an absent, dreamy look which is only compounded by her thick, dark eyelashes. Her eyes are wide and innocent, irises colored a dark brown. Perfectly caramel colored skin covers her form, without a single scar to mar it. She has a blunt chin and a snub nose, and a readily smiling mouth. Often she wears mascara and eyeliner to emphasize her eyes, and pale purple lip gloss on her plump lips.

Her body is neat and slim; narrow arms give to long-fingered pianists' hands, while her legs are long in comparison to her torso, making her seem taller than she really is from a certain distance. She is in possession of a pair of C-cup breasts and a naturally narrow waist and styles all her clothing to accentuate these features.

Childhood
Raven's life was very dull, to begin with. Her parents were both citizens of Los Santos, never really taking any interest in the hustle and bustle of the city but instead lived an average, fairly lavish life in Richman. It was her father's second love, having lost his first one to a brutal murder after a B&E. On the side, her mother owned a flower shop and her father was a hard working EMS. He would often tend to citizens when the extra assistance was needed so he would often be gone for days on end even traveling out of the city for patients. Raven's mother, Karin Rose, and her father, Osiris Jacobs met in the line of duty. Karin was sent to deliver flowers to an injured Police Officer, Osiris' patient. It was love at first sight and the couple married several months later. For several years, the relationship was steady and they got along happily. They had a son named Lucien and a daughter came 3 years later with another son two years after that. With the civil unrest and fighting amongst the gangs in the area, it put a lot of stress on everyone including the marriage... Raven was born on August 13. After a harsh divorce, Osiris left the family, leaving an angry mother and three confused children who moved into the slums of Grove Street, a complete turn around for their lives. While Raven begged and pleaded to leave with her father, he went back to the Estate on his own. Her mother favored and spoiled her talented older brother, and often neglected Raven. Lucien had goals and aspirations to serve as a police officer. He trained day in and day out to hone in on his excellent marksmanship abilities. Because of this favoritism, Raven grew up as a hard, nearly heartless person who was forced to fend for herself. Lucien would often defend Raven against their mother, hoping that she could train alongside him and eventually join the force as well but Karin refused. After years of trying, her brother eventually gave up the efforts of trying to convince anyone that Raven was worthy of becoming anything in life too. It was known that Karin despised Raven most because she took after her father with not only looks but personality as well. For five long years, Raven was ignored and felt like she was unwanted by her own mother. Her life was dull, cold, and empty except for her close relationship with her younger brother Alex. All the did on a day to day basis was wake up, clean, make breakfast, nap, make dinner, etc. It almost seemed like a relief when she got turned around and horribly lost while running errands for her mother. For two straight days, she had nothing to eat or drink but dirty water in the small stream she followed in hopes of finding someone to help her. Finally, her legs sluggish from lack of nutrition, Raven fell into the streets, exhausted.

The Kindness of Strangers
When Raven finally woke, she was in a stranger's home. The name of her savior was Maya, a woman with a kind heart and an easy smile. After finding out what happened to her, Maya immediately took Raven in. From then on, the two were inseparable. Maya was like the mother that Raven never had. She was kind, considerate, compassionate, and actually loved the blue-haired child like her own. Raven's family never bothered looking for her, as far as she knew at least and she began to prefer it that way. For twenty years, Raven helped Maya out with her herb shop, and Maya in return helped Raven out from her timid and cold shell and taught her to be confident, sure of herself, and turned her into the person she is now. Raven did absolutely anything for this woman and after a while began calling her 'mom'.

The Nightmare
Then one night, a dream came to her. In the dream, she couldn't see anything, but she felt everything. The wind in her hair, the feeling of falling endlessly, and an incredible warmth coursing through her; she felt it all. And then there was a voice. "Get out!" Desperately, Raven tried to open her eyes, but they felt like they were glued shut. She took a step forward, arms outstretched. And then she woke up. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't believe what she saw. Or rather, what she couldn't see. Everything was dark; it was night time, after all. She felt something heavy on her leg, and her lungs were on fire. Debris and ash floated in the air, choking her and burning her eyes. After what seemed like hours but was only a few seconds, her eyes began to focus. Her house had burned down; collapsed and what was left of it surrounded her with Maya nowhere to be seen. And then there was a man pulling her out from under the rubble; another savior. "Are you dumb?!" the man shouted at her. Raven stared at him in awe. "Your house just got destroyed by a fire, and you're just gonna sit there like an idiot? Why didn't you call for help earlier?!" The man had red and black dyed hair as well as a wide assortment of tattoos dressing his entire body. The man grabbed her by the shoulders, stared her right in the eye, and gave her an accusing glare. "Do you know who did this?!" he dragged Raven up by the collar of her shirt and lifted her. She wasn't entirely sure why she was being questioned but assumed it had something to do with the fact that she unfortunately lived in gang territory and coincidentally had blue hair which corresponded to a certain gang. Shocked, she managed to push the man away and fled to seek out Maya. The man stopped her and apologized for the accusations, introducing himself as Tai. He was a cadet with PD and brought Raven back to the city away from the gang wars where she would then have to learn to fend for herself again. While he offered her shelter at the station, she refused, still untrusting of how he first approached her. Her first course of action was to steal a car for shelter and to give herself a place to rest at night. From then on, she began looking for a means to start a new life. She never was able to find Maya so she could only assume she perished on Grove.

Do-Over
After abandoning the stolen car she found to move around to a different part of the city, a kind police officer by the name of Wilkins found Raven in a stolen vehicle and instead of arresting her, he took pity upon her and set her up with a bank account and some cash to get her off her feet. The first thing she did was purchase her first vehicle! A Nissan Patrol. To keep up the cash flow, she ended up getting a job at the Vanilla Unicorn after getting herself cleaned up. On the side, she began working as a Taxi driver to earn some extra cash. One of her co-workers named Chris Coxx showed her around in a cab while she was off duty and apparently took a fondness to her. For a few weeks, they supported each other and their aspirations. While she wanted to work with EMS, he wanted to become a cop! After much encouragement, she went on to apply for a job as an EMT. Chris got hired to the Police Department and things were great! Raven was hired as an EMS and worked under Mercy Carson. She was enjoying helping people in the city who were hurt and went above and beyond to tend to everyone she could!

In Raven's line of work, she met with a lot of people and gained lots of patients. One patient in particular named Chris Reckless was a member of a gang whom Chris Coxx's cousin was a rival of. Unbeknownst to Raven, he informed his cousin about Reckless who she eventually befriended so his cousin along with the rest of his gang, known as The Gators, conspired against her, kidnapped her and tortured her for answers regarding him.

For a short time, Raven was part of The Gators and ran an operation called Talent or Die. The operation consisted of picking up random citizens and taking them to a secluded area. If they were unable to entertain her or get her to chuckle, they were hospitalized. If they were able to succeed, they were given a sum of money and released with no harm.

Of course, Raven wouldn't snitch on her friend when questioned about him so she remained silent. She had her head shaved of her long blue hair as well as one of her fingers cut off to teach her a lesson then left to bleed out. Coxx knew of his cousin's actions but did nothing to defend or avenge her despite being an Officer so they went separate ways. Raven had to acquire a prosthetic pinkie on her left hand in place of the one she lost. Unable to work as a medic any longer, she ventured towards applying for Dynasty 8 to become a real estate agent instead. Within a week, Raven was interviewed at Dynasty 8 and soon after was hired! She was trained by the Manager himself and worked closely with him for a while. Over time, the two became naturally inseparable and eventually began dating. He often showered her with gifts in the forms of vehicles and boats even though she wasn't materialistic in nature... However, one of the first gifts was a Camaro which soon became her favorite car ever and the only thing she would drive around. Eventually, he revealed that he was the leader of a gang known as the Nursery Rhyme Boys and they would commit crimes on the side for money. At first, she was worried that it would interfere with work but over time, it made more sense to her. She joined as an honorary member of NRB and would assist with their criminal activity for her own benefit as well as the gang's. Raven rose through the ranks of D8 but then decided to pick up a hobby outside of work. After purchasing a small apartment, she took up fishing where she met some more amazing people! One of the fishermen in particular who was leader of the Fisherman's Union caught her attention and went by the name of Honton X. They met when Raven was selling her fish and someone stole her car! Honton along with one of his acquaintances were the only ones who stepped up and tried to help her out so they took off in a Rumpo to search for her stolen vehicle. While was unsuccessful, Honton and Raven still hung out and fished together! After a few nights out on the open water fishing, Raven’s heart was swayed more into fishing rather than sitting around the office at work. She would often be taken out on long boat rides to fish on pseudo dates. They would also fish along the coast and enjoy walking along the beach in the sand. For the first time, she felt at peace in her life.

One evening, Honton decided to pull a 'prank' on Raven and act as though he was in danger so she would run to his rescue. One of his friends was seen standing over Honton and his friend with a shotgun while they were both in their underwear. Of course, Raven made the mistake of wanting to bring back up to ensure he was safe and would be saved. She brought her boyfriend to the scene who then called upon the rest of his 'gang'. With them all posted outside Honton's apartment, eventually, they all ran out with hands up and explained that it was a prank to try and get Raven to meet his friends and spend more time with her. Following this incident, Raven decided to get a form of payback for putting her through that. She was emotional because she thought he was actually in danger! A blood contract was decided upon under the conditions that Honton would have to do 10 things for her without any question as well as sing for her at any time upon request. The blood contract was signed at the light house via bullet to the foot which Raven then promptly patched up. The reason behind the contract mainly was due to Raven having deep feelings for him and wanting to keep him close in her life in any sort of way.

While Raven's relationship with the D8 Manager was becoming straining from her not being at work 24/7 like he wanted, people began noticing her change of heart as she and Honton grew more fond of one another... Following this, Raven was asked for her hand in marriage which caught her by surprise. While she hesitantly accepted, friends of her boyfriend would begin to threaten to seek out and do harm so out of fear for Honton’s safety and well-being, Raven dumped the boyfriend fled the city to avoid any backlash or anyone getting hurt, hoping with her out of the picture, things would calm down. Little did she know, the fisherman was heartbroken over her leaving without a trace. She flew out overseas and took herself completely off the radar, ghosting her friends and everyone who knew her.... It was the hardest decision she ever had to make.

New Chance
Months later Raven returns to a new city where the same Honton also happens to be. He's a huge success with running White Widow, being a DJ, photographer, and interior decorator. It wasn't long before she reached out to him and reunited. It was bittersweet but they connected again instantly. Honton showed her around and introduced her to some people and took her to the usual fishing spot. The fishing spot wasn't the same as before and there weren't any boats available to go out into the ocean but they often reflected on the memories they shared. Deciding to start her life fresh and get herself situated in the city, Raven makes her way to Dynasty 8 again immediately, intending to use her prior experience with the company from another city get her career back on track. From there, she began fishing again on the side as well as taxi and recycling every now and then in order make ends and stay fed while bumming it on friend’s couches by the beach. She received keys to Honton's beach apartment and got a roof over her head until she was able to get her own. Not long after does she find herself back into the arms of the beloved fisherman. For the first time, there was nothing stopping them from being together at last. They began dating exclusively and the relationship only grew from there each day. On May 3rd 2021, they made things official at last. With his help, she was able to buy a home close to his on the beach in La Puerta. Raven was interviewed for D8 and got her dream job as well! With this new shot at life, Raven has been doing really well for herself! She worked hard at her job with D8, gaining several loyal and amazing clients who became really good friends of hers and in turn, became fishermen and women as well! Within a month, Raven was promoted to Senior Agent which came with a pay raise to commentate her for her hard work. She worked tirelessly to make sure each client who contacted the office ended up with the home or property they hoped for that fit their budget. Honton began riding along with her and helped find open properties that fit the client's criteria as well. Together along with his interior designing skills, they became the dynamic duo! At the job fair held at the observatory, she was given the opportunity to interview someone who was interested in the job. She also put in a good word for two other individuals who wanted work and they all got hired! After working hard for about a month and picking up all the overtime she could get, a few of the newer hired agents put in a good word with the D8 CEO about her work she's been doing and she was then granted the promotion to Executive! Completely humbled and honored, it drove her to work even harder as an agent but mostly to help the other agents with their clients. Troubleshooting issues they may have, getting their clients set up with appointments and offering advise. With Honton working Fight Night every Friday, Raven assists with his event by putting it on the map. She also uses her earnings to sponsor this event as well as others around the city. Each day, Raven strives to make a name for herself in the city and only wishes to help others. With Honton by her side, she feels like she can accomplish just about anything. While they support each other, they have both become recognized as a pair and compliment one another perfectly in just about everything they do together. Later known as Los Santos' favorite power couple, they bought a home together and saved up until they became multi millionaires. Together, they also invested in Pearls Seafood Restaurant and then started their own business known as HontonXRaven Incorporated which assists with Business and Home loans, Interior Decorating, Consultation, Advertising, Wedding Planning, and Graphic Design. They also use the brand name for hosting Fight Nights. As inseparable as they are, they made a name for themselves in the city and are decently well known and liked. They strive to give back to the city and 'elevate the standard' which is the motto for the entire Yakuza.
