Backstory
Raven Blackstone, born in 1843 in the Appalachian Highlands, comes from a lineage of shifters renowned for their role as mediators between supernatural factions. Raised in a secluded enclave, Raven's keen intuition, charisma, and shifting abilities made her a natural emissary, capable of resolving conflicts with diplomacy and insight. Her forms—a wolf for strength, a hawk for surveillance, and a feline for stealth—enhanced her effectiveness in delicate negotiations.
By adulthood, Raven was at the forefront of disputes caused by human expansion and supernatural territorial clashes. Her talent earned respect, including from Silas "Ashen Fang" Vance of the Ironhowl Pack, though her influence also attracted distrust and whispers of betrayal from some factions.
In 1890, as tensions in Shadewood Hollow escalated due to the Monaghan Mining Company's encroachment, Raven was called to mediate between the region's witches, werewolves, vampires, and daemons. She brokered a fragile truce between the Ironhowl Pack and the Coven of the Hollow Veil, preventing outright war and solidifying her reputation as a skilled negotiator.
Despite her successes, Raven’s impartiality isolates her, and the physical toll of her shifting abilities looms over her. A figure of quiet strength, Raven embodies the delicate balance between predator and protector, loyalty and neutrality, holding together the fragile peace in Shadewood Hollow.
