Typical Clothing/Equipment: Valravn wears a large black robe like outfit that covers her main body, Sort of a wayfarers or travelers garb. She also has a suit of black leather like armor underneath the robe for additional protection, Her hands are gloved and she also wears black travelers like boots well worn in from use as she rarely stays in one place very long. She also carries on her a khakkhara about 1 meter in length made of a form of spirit wood for the main shaft. the metal is made from a Yokai infused black metal known as cold iron. known for its unnaturally cold to the touch state and durability. The khakkhara also has 8 black metallic rings on the top. Hidden inside the Khakkhara is a sword of the same metal as the Khakkharas metal section... a long and very sharp blade that Valravn can use with a surprising level of speed.

Personality/Attitude:Valravn is relatively cold and logical to most of those she just meets or is unfamiliar with. She has had far more bad experiences with humans than yokai so she tends to treat humanity with far more disdain than she would Yokai. She however usually prefers to avoid overly social interaction if she can as she rarely believes it will yield any truly beneficial outcome. However she does care a great deal for Animals and wildlife especially the members of the Corvid family as she is technically kin to them and would go to great lengths to aid them.

Skills/Talents: Valravn is an expert in the use of the sword... however she prefers to use her hidden blade as a means of surprise attack as she seeks to end any potential fight as quickly as possible she cares very little for honor and is not against using dirty tactics. She also knows how to wield her Khakkhara itself as a very effective weapon if she wishes to take a relatively non lethal option though it would still be quite painful. She can also use her wings to great affect and take to the sky using a combination of Yokai based raven tengu magic, she is also capable of firing off some of her feathers like throwing knives however if she fires to many of them she will be unable to fly until they regenerate.

Her Yokai magic is much harder for her to use however due to being a hybrid so it has varying levels of cost as such she is less keen on using it and prefers to use her swordsmanship and martial arts first and foremost.

Favorites/Likes: She enjoys travelling and spending time with the local wildlife/animals as well as spending time away from civilization in more wild and remote regions.

Most Hated/Dislikes: Gods and goddess as she believes they are partly responsible for a great deal of the pain she herself has endured.. she also however does have great disdain for humanity and usually if not left alone by an overly inquisitive human may resort to an aggressive approach to get them to back off.

Goals/Ambitions: She has no specific goal at the moment. Aside from destroying the shrines of goddesses/gods across the world if she encounters them. Other than this her only real goal is to roam the world itself.

Strengths: Excellent physical prowess and high stamina capacity. She is highly skilled with her blade and Khakkhara, skilled in the use of a very specific kind of magic and with the ability of flight due to her wings.

Weaknesses: She does not have high pain tolerance due to the physicality of her body.. so a good strike would cause a great deal of pain and likely put her out of commission if she cannot avoid it. She also if she takes to much damage will highly struggle to regenerate her wounds and likely require a relatively long time to rest in order to recover effectively.

Fears: As of the moment she fears very little this may change with time as she is not afraid of death.

Most Instructive/Painful/Memorable Experience: Her birth was a strange one.... she does not have any knowledge of who her parents were the only thing she does know is that one of them was a raven tengu ... she was raised in a monastery by an order of warrior monks known as the brotherhood of the dark horizon. she learnt how to fight properly in this order taking up the Khakkhara and blade as her preference as well as learning how to read/write she also naturally learned how to use a great deal of her own unique abilities as a Yokai Hybrid.

However eventually her peaceful life in the monastery came to a bitter end when a large band of humans who claimed to be servants or perhaps cultists of Izanami would be a better term. who ruthlessly butchered the monks due to sheer volume of numbers she very distinctively etched the name of this goddess into her memory as she was forced to flee the monastery using her natural ability to fly to escape. from that day on she became cold and distrustful of humans and she gained an innate hatred of gods and goddesses. humans have rarely treated her well so she usually does not take chances ,Yokai on the other hand as she has generally had more positive interactions with them she is usually slightly less defensive towards initially.
