Raven is a popular character from Teen Titans, a superhero team within DC Comics.
First appearing in 1980, Raven was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez.
She is the daughter of a human mother and the demon Trigon, giving her mystical powers, including telekinesis, empathic abilities, and the ability to travel between dimensions.
Her catchphrase, “Azarath Metrion Zinthos,” is well known to fans of the show, especially in animated adaptations.
Raven is often portrayed as the emotionally complex, dark, and brooding member of the Teen Titans, making her a fan favourite.
She has appeared in various animated series, notably in Teen Titans (2003) and Teen Titans Go! (2013).
Her quiet intensity and mysterious nature resonate with many, and her internal struggle between light and dark adds depth to her character.
The Teen Titans team itself includes other young heroes like Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg.
Together, they protect the world from evil while navigating the challenges of growing up.
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, who first captured hearts as Devi Vishwakumar on Netflix’s hit series Never Have I Ever, has rapidly risen as a Gen Z icon.
The Canadian actress, of Tamil descent, has since been recognised for her powerful performances, vibrant personality, and strong representation of South Asians in mainstream media.
Her breakout role as Devi was met with critical and fan acclaim, setting the stage for her burgeoning career.
Since her debut, she’s made waves not only as an actress but as a trailblazer for diversity in Hollywood.
Her latest cosplay nods to her growing status as a fashion-forward figure in entertainment, with fans celebrating both her beauty and her playful approach to embodying the superhero Raven, a beloved character among Teen Titans fans.
