The name given to large black birds, who look similar to crows but are larger and more solitary. Corvus Corax. Often associated with healing, magic, successful hunting, death, and mischief. Considered to be messengers between the living and the other world. Honored by almost all human societies. Ravens are considered among the most intelligent of all birds; they can learn to imitate a variety of sounds, including the human voice. Ravens are scavengers and will eat just about anything that is dead; but they will also hunt for mice, lizards, small birds, snakes, insects, and berries.
They are mentioned in many mythologies, both in North America and in Europe. Among the Native Americans, Raven is a creator and trickster god. In Norse mythology, Odin’s two Ravens Thought and Memory are divine spies so to speak. They are mentioned in many poems and novels, perhaps the most famous is Edgar Allan Poe’s Nevermore.

Ravens are amazingly beautiful and graceful flyers, maneuvering effortlessly in the sky, whirling and twirling and gliding through the air, riding updrafts with ease.
"Though the birds have a wide variety of sounds and calls they may not be willing to divulge their secrets to us." Quote the raven? Aaarrck!
Nevermore!

Raven is usually a very shy girl. When she partys she'll party hard and she is very beautiful and outgoing and loves to be around people. They are very mean but if you have their backs they have your back too they'll also tell you how they feel about you in a second. If you piss them off they'll act rude towards you. They're very outgoing but also annoyed easily. They're very sexy, creative and smart. But are total bitches and they don't take bullshit from anybody but don't underest them they're smarter than you think and are very annoying.
