Raven was a single child born into a working class family in Zento. Her father worked hard to ensure she got a good education and wanted her to take up the family tradition of the Samurai. However, During her time away, she recieved a letter from her mother stating that her father had been assassinated by a rival clan. the Assassin, struck only at her father but spared her mother. After recieving this letter, she begged her master to hurry home. He refused. Frustrated, Raven began to lose focus on her training. Soon her master would reveal that he had not been training her in the arts of busido, but ninjitsu. This only confused Raven even more but would explain her honorable tendencies. But little did she know, it would be seven long years before she would be allowed to leave. Upon her release from her master, she was granted the swords of Roku as a symbol of her craft. Though not a swordswoman herself, as she prefered a much closer means of fighting. Raven became quite adept with the Takagi.

Upon returning home to Zento, she found that her mother had commited Sepku shortly after writing the letter seven years prior. This was the straw that broke the camels back. In a blind fit, she did everything she could to track down this assassin. But all her leads were cold and she never found her father's murderer. It was at this point she vowed that justice would never fail anyone again. Her mid now full of madness, she seeks to remove those from power who seem to fail the common man. Zento being her birth place, she traveled across the sea to the lands of Britania. Where she made landfall in Britain.

It was not long before she began to witness the efforts of the Regency's opening actions to the Invasion of Britan. She even fought with the citizens to help repel the attack and was there the day they managed to push the invasion back to the cemetary. Feeling that she did her deed in Britan, She ventured out making a living doing small jobs to support herself. mainly jobs that would include farming or even gathering. Always seemed polite to her employers, none ever would imagine she was a deadly assassin.

it was not long after she found herself in Luna. She came across a small group of citizens who grew discontended with the Royal Court of Light but their methods of dealing with the issue was rather weak in her opinion. She sought out the ruler of such an organization and watched as one of the discontended citizens brought a petition to the Grand Duchess and then leave. She watched even further the reactions and grew disapointed. If this Ruler was to serve the people, and the people came forth asking her to change her title, should she not change her title? Raven thought so. And gave this Ruler 2 weeks time to correct this problem. on the 15th night, she followed the Grand duchess to to her home where a guild meeting was about to take place. She waited until all business was conducted and then She struck at Molly. Killing her instantly. Now with the escape plan in effect, she managed to hide and quickly make her way out of the house. A few days later, word got back that Molly was only knocked out, but this did little to phase Raven. her message was sent and now the world would come to know of Raven's Deed.

Later, Rumors around Luna told her that Sir Chad was challenging the assassin. Honor bound to accept, Raven waited for the right time. When Chads back was to her, she struck but the knight seemed prepared for her. As only one blow got past his shield, the rest he managed to deflect. Realizing that she would not win this encounter, Raven hid using a smoke bomb. She quickly made her way down to the first floor and waited by the sign to catch her breath. but rest was going to have to wait. Soon a mage came dangerously close and began to cast reveal on her location. Her training kicked in and the Mage fell in seconds. Trying to hide once again, she failed as now her now failed mark was now upon her with his sword drawn. The wiser option was to flee and come back with another means of attack. But Sir Chad gave good chase. it wasn't until Raven was in the heart of Luna did he give up and turn back to his duchess.

It was clear to Raven at this point that Surprise would not be enough for Chad. She would have to resort to deadlier means. A means of which she does not like to use, but Honor demands that she continue to hunt for him. And until he is dead, she will not have that Honor. Now, full of madness, her every waking moment is centered around finding a weakness in Sir Chad.
