It is also why she absolutely refuses to forge weapons, even if she can sell them and understand the need for them. This affinity is presumably founded on a secret side of herself. Raven has a special affinity with monsters and deeply cares for them, becoming visibly upset at the thought of hurting them. Since she enjoys making accessories, he teaches her a new crafting recipe every year for her birthday. She also likes crystals and accessories-especially pendants, as they were the first things that Gaius had taught her to make. She's fond of flowers because their scent calms her. Presumably due to a childhood trauma, she fears ghosts and bones because they remind her of things that disappear or never return.
Raven works at the blacksmith's shop with the owner, Gaius, who she sees as a father figure. She gradually opens up as Micah grows closer to her, reconciling herself with the feeling of happiness, and she learns to be more honest with the people around her, as well as with herself. Before getting to know her, she comes across as a harsh, rather hostile person with a particular stubborn streak, and is outwardly mistrustful of Micah. However, although she purposely tries to distance herself from others, she actually gets lonely very easily. Raven is a taciturn, blunt young woman who often says things with little sympathy towards the person at whom they are directed.
