Ravenna is unusually short for her age, yet despite that, she does carry an ominous air around her. What she lacks in physical stature, she compensates with an imposing glare and a stern and serious voice. Her dark brown hair is unusually long with two side plaits ending in chains. Her complexion is rather fair, adding more to her obvious foreign origins.
Hailing from overseas, Ravenna has a penchant for eccentric clothes which usually show off her status. Her garments tend to have Victorian influences and her main choice of garb is a red coat with white accents over a black, tight skirt and white heeled boots.
| O D D I T I E S |
She has a few scars from earlier engagements but nothing that really stands out or detriments her appearance.

✦ Calm ✧ Calculative ✦ Charismatic ✧ Pragmatic ✦
Calm and collected, she rarely loses her cool in public and is rather considerate towards people who she was conditioned to view as a "lower class". Due to her aristocratic upbringing, she feels a sense of noblesse oblige, seeing it as a responsibility to help others if it is asked of her without expecting anything in return.
Away from the public eye though, Ravenna retorts to a cold, calculative side. Bearing the cross of the Queen piece, she takes it upon herself to take an active role in leadership along with the King in order to ensure maximum efficiency. To this end, she is known to utilize the most effective means of achieving results, sparing no expense and willing to sacrifice anything—herself included—if need be.
Yet despite all this, she apparently possesses no desires of her own despite having the initiative to take charge of things. She does what is asked of her and seeks what others ask her to seek, taking the will of others for herself, allowing her to act in accordance to what is expected of her.
{"Would the possession of power enable us to make things the way we want them to be?"}

Ravenna's ability as a queen is the power to cast illusions. Mirrors are her needed catalyst as she uses them as a medium to summon images as well as dictate the overall area affected by the illusion. The number of people affected and the potency of the illusions are inversely related: Used on a large population, the effect the images have over reality is very minimal—possessing just as much power as a strong wind. Against an individual, the illusions become more potent up to the point of severely harming or, in rare instances, killing that individual.
Another means of utilization is to draw traumatic images from the mind of an individual. It only works on one person at a time and Ravenna will require direct eye-contact to do so. She also has no idea what the affected person is seeing. The usage of this ability is very taxing, with large-scale illusions lasting only twenty minutes at most.

On a general perspective, Ravenna had an easy life for the most part, being born into a wealthy family. She was the second daughter out of seven so she was still somewhat spoiled as she was born at the time when they were still at peak financial capacity. However, among all siblings, she was able to make the most out of her education and blessings, and was able to give back to her parents by producing results that will aid them in strengthening their company foundation. Due to her ability to keep up with the demands, she was often recognized as the "true" heir of the family.
However, her talents caused her to become isolated from her siblings and normal society in general, being forced to spend a lot of time handling the bulk of the responsibility that should have been distributed equally among all of them. Nevertheless, she managed to find the time to pursue some hobbies, particularly fencing, which she gradually honed over the years. Due to this, she was fully aware that she didn't have any ambitions of her own; only following what is already expected of her.
Encountering the White Faction was as trivial as the business meeting where she met the White King. At that time, it had been a mere coincidence. The fact that a study conducted within the companies they sought as prospective partners revealed micro-technology embedded in their apparel was also a mere coincidence for Ravenna. However, establishing the connection, investigating rumors which ultimately lead into the discovery of the hidden war and her eventual integration as the White Queen was all done under her own will.
As Matthew 7:7 goes, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Ravenna wasn't gifted with the power. She sought it out and took it for herself. It was under this same principle that she presented herself as a possible addition to the King's arsenal under the mandate of strategy and opportunity.
Now under the guise of corporate expansion, she had plunged head-on into the chaotic power struggle of Kings. It was the first time she had to completely reveal herself to the public eye; the organized upbringing she had never betraying her. No war could be won without the support of the populace. While the others fought in the shadows, she would have to fight in the open, engaging in a battle to command the love of the populace.
She would have to be everything everyone wants her to be. She would have to wield a force more selfish than money and more treacherous than death. Victory in this war would be determined not by the sword but by the heart--or specifically, the person who holds them.
{"In the end, everything balances out."}
