General Appearance:

What most might notice from first glance is the almost startling contrast between her pitch black hair and almost literally white skin. The dark makeup she wears when she wears it, only makes her skin seem all the whiter and the black eye-liner she traces along the edges of her eyelids bring attention to her vivid blue-green eyes, the blue green being more obvious in her eyes than it is in her twin's. She keeps her lashes thick, her brows thin, and her lips somewhere in between the ranges. It is rare for her to color her lips but when she does, it is usually a very subtle thing.

Raven's figure is a thin one, somewhat delicate looking and borderlining on fragile at times even if that isn't the case. Her skin has no visible scars or blemishes and her mid-back length hair no signs of splits as she takes almost vain amount of care in both in her hygienic upkeep. Though she looks like she might be on the verge of smiling in those extremely rare cases that she is pretending to be kind, she never actually is seen doing so. She prefers to wear darker clothes. In the winter, long and flowing is the best while in the summer she will mix and match lengths of clothing.

She stands at five feet, seven inches tall and weighs around a hundred and eleven pounds. This is due to the hollow bones she has. Oh yes, that is another thing... Raven happens to have a pair of mostly black wings. They're raven black, with the exception of a couple of white feathers that sneak in there time to time... Which she plucks out. Her wingspan is fourteen feet.

A less than noticeable trait of hers is the fact that she happens to have a penis. Yes, a penis. It is something she affectionately calls her vagenis. It is an incomplete penis as she as no testicles attached though her vagina has all the parts it's supposed to have. Her vagina is positioned underneath and behind her penis.

Personality:

Dark, rebellious, with a twist of unpredictable spunk. She's slow to smile but when she does, it's a good idea to get the hell out of dodge because either she's just pulled off something that might be dangerous, or she's out for blood, or she's up to something devious. Sometimes though, she just does to make those who know her nature, nervous.

Danni Fanny Eclair is very stubborn. Not only when it comes to being told she can't do something, but with things like admitting when she's been hurt physically or emotionally. She could have a broken wing and she'd still try to hide the fact or act like it isn't that big of a deal. It would take a lot to get her down and make her stay down too. Everything just short of killing her, actually.

Raven is somewhat vain. She takes pride in her appearance and enjoys compliments on her looks. If an outfit is flattering on her, she will have no problem modeling it. Not in a silly prancy kind of way, mind you. In a way that involves pictures being taken in several stages of undress but never in a way that shows enough to give away her secret.

Though she isn't ashamed of her friend vagenis, her friend isn't something she talks about. It's called a secret for a reason. Sure it's hard to hide at times but she does a good job of doing so when there's people around to see. She likes to get to be herself sometimes though, so she tends to lock the door to her room when she's in there so she can play nudist.

Danni Fanny Eclair has her violent moments, seeing how she thinks it's all kinds of fun to let her temper loose. Not while it's happening, seeing how she's pissed at the time, but thinking back on the destruction and damage caused. She also enjoys the outcome of revenge. It's almost like she has trouble feeling guilt. If someone were to ask her if she can feel guilt, she might reply by telling them that she's usually too busy feeling satisfied.

Raven has what most would call an unhealthy relationship with her powers. This stems off of her having believed the shadows to be real and them having been her friend. Over the years, that friendship had become something possibly bordering on sexual and even after she found out it was just her powers at play responding to her wants and needs, she still recesses to the relationship.

Abilities:

Her power besides her wing-given flight, is the ability to control shadows. Umbrakenesis. When using it to it's full potential, she can become a shadow herself and hitch rides on other shadows. She can effect physical things by tampering with the shadows they cast if she concentrates enough. Sometimes though, this happens on accident as well if she's not paying enough attention while in deep thought. Obstructing her from being able to touch a shadow or her shadow from being able to make contact with another shadow, keeps her from being able to manipulate or abuse said shadow.

History:

With a name like Danni Fanny Eclair, she was most certainly destined to get picked on at school and possibly even off of it. But, other than that, she had a pretty good early childhood. It wasn't a normal childhood, seeing how she was born with a little extra, but her parents did their best to keep it a secret. How did they pull that one off? Well, in the beginning she was raised up like a little boy. It cut down on a lot of questions and a lot of explaining. The act was put on so well that once Danni was out of diapers and had been potty trained for a while, sometimes her parents would let themselves forget that she was bi-gendered.

When she was three, she became an older sibling to little Penny Eclair. And for a few years, her little sister had the majority of their parents attention but that eventually leveled out and both the children were treated equally. A kind of rivalry did sprout from this though and Danni took to teasing her little sister and sometimes even tormenting her. But, this kind of thing happened in a lot of households so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

Danni began developing somewhat early. At the age of nine, she started having hints of breasts and a waist. This wasn't something that her parents were happy about happening, as it was something that forced them to acknowledge that their child was growing up to be a young woman. Before it could go too far though, they sought out hormonal aid to try to stop the more feminine parts of her from going through full blown puberty and she was put on testosterone pills.

Being curious about what would happen without the pills, Danni tried to skip out of them most of the time. Well, she tried all the time but they tended to catch her while she was getting ready to dispose of the pills so that didn't work out as planned.

Other things changed, but it wasn't for another year that this happened. While she had been tormenting her sister again with horror stories, her abilities came into play. The shadows twisted and warped to shape into the character in the horror story she was telling Penny. Both girls went screaming out of the basement. Morbid curiosity had Danni going back though and she decided to confront the "ghost" they had decided the shadow had been. At first there was nothing but then, as she stared and stared at the shadows, a figure began to form.

Not realizing it was her power, she began to visit the figure in the basement, beginning to make friends with it even if it never spoke. The friendship grew until the shadows would twist and shape themselves whenever she was feeling lonely and was alone. She wanted to keep the shadows her secret. Why? Well, because no one would ever understand the friendship. The shadow figure was the only one who really understood her.

It wasn't until the day her parents were dragged along by her little sister, that the friend was found out about and as they went to reacting in their own panicked ways, the shadows responded to Danni's distress by grabbing onto the shadows of her family members and in turn, keeping them in place and unable to run. When Danni realized this, she felt something she hadn't ever felt before... Powerful. She had someone on her side who would actually act it out. The shadows didn't keep her family captive for long but they didn't try to run as they thought it would happen again.

Thanks to her friend, Danni became something of the control of the household. She didn't have to take the medicine anymore or the treatments. She didn't have to do chores or any of that. The only thing she had to keep up with was going to school and the other outdoor things she normally did before. Over time though, her parents began to regain control as they noticed that she didn't have her friend looking out for her during the day. They began plotting on ways to ensure that her not so imaginary friend could be taken care of.

When Danni was fourteen, her parents finally took action. Not because it was daytime but they had noticed that Danni's evil friend didn't seem to be showing up lately while she had been ill. Thinking that it might have been a demon of some sort and that it had finally begun to possess their daughter's body, they decided that killing her would in turn, kill it. They were going to have another child on the way and the child couldn't be put under the same enslavement as they had been.

Using floodlights, her father filled the room with it's intense luminescence. Since the creature was a shadow, they thought it would be the best weapon against it. Her father charged, rushing to the bed that Danni was laying in even as she woke up, but just as he was about to chop her head off with an axe, he was startled back as she screamed and large black wings seemed to explode into view. Danni screamed again and shoved her father. In turn, he fell off balance and ended up crashing into one of the flood lights that had been set up. The light broke, and made way for there to be some shadows but with none of them connecting to Danni, nothing happened. Not from the shadows anyways. Danni leaped onto her father and began clawing at him like a girl possessed. Her father swung the axe but only managed to get it caught up in the wall. Danni rushed off of him and began to shove down all the flood lights and before she could be stopped, half the lights were down. She made a grabbing motion with her shadow, and the shadow of her hand made contact with the shadow of her father's head.

She stared in awe for a moment as she saw the dents forming on his temples like there were fingers there and right after, she got the full idea and made a cranking motion. There was a crackle ad her father's head was turned completely around like something off of the exorcist and he was dead.

Power was returned to her as far as the household as her pregnant mother was terrified of risking the baby and her little sister was pretty much whipped, and her brother was much too young to know any better.

The stress caused her mother to miscarry which gave her mother hate her even more than when she had killed her father. This hatred festered inside of her. When Danni was sixteen, her mother had managed to get a hold of some FOH members and led them to her home and to the attic in which Raven had been living within during the day as she couldn't really go out anymore due to her wings.

Raven was wounded during the lynching that was attempted but she made it out alive. The same couldn't have been said for the FOH members. Or for her mother for that matter. It took a lot out of Raven though, the strain of her powers being too much and almost claiming her life when paired with her injuries. She managed to get through it though.

Even in death though, Bobbi managed to save her youngest children from Raven's tyranny. Raven fled the home and the town. It was only luck that had saved her. As she lay where she had crash-landed from her flight bleeding out on the ground, she was approached by Magneto who gave her an offer. Either she could join him, or he could let her just find a means of helping herself...

Other:

Due to the hormones she was given as a child, Raven's blossoming was thwarted somewhat and it left her with a less than impressive bosom. She's grown to accept this but too many flat jokes and she's bound to lash out.

Sample RP:

Goth boots thunked softly against the cold hard floor, the sound echoing some as she walked through the corridors. Her feathers rustled and slid against the surface as the lower feathers of her wings touched the floor. With wings the size of hers on a body the side of hers, it took extra effort to keep them from touching the ground at least by inches and she didn't feel like putting up with that right now. Had this been outdoors, it would have been another story. But, the floors in here were usually clean and this happened to be the case now so she let herself relax a little.

As she spotted a fleck of white out of the corner of her eye, she arched one of her wings so it would be creeping over her shoulder then she reached over before plucking out the white feather that had been there. It had somehow snuck past her attention earlier but it wasn't so lucky now. Sure, it stung, but that didn't really bother her.

"You rang?" She more of commented than asked as she entered the meeting room she had made her way to.
