| Name: Queen Ravenna Corvus Nation: Water Age: 36 Gender: Female Hair: Blonde Eyes: Green/Grey Height: 5'10" Weight: 145 Water Bender Level: 4 Black Water Bending:- Spoiler:
Black Water Bending is a technique that Ravenna developed herself, much like how Metal Bending was invented. To create 'Black Water' Ravenna needs a plentiful source of water depending on how much of the liquid she wishes to create. By bending a large mass of water, Ravenna then condenses the water to such a point where it is almost a solid. So much that no light can pass through it which is why it appears black. Hundreds of gallons of water could appear as mere droplets of rain. Due to the water being so highly condensed, it is far heavier that ordinary water so someone who has not been trained personally by Ravenna could not hope to control the Black Water. Because of its weight it hits opponents harder and can cause much more damage. It freezes at a much lower temperature and 'Black Ice' is as durable as steel, if not more. Ravenna's crown and jewelry is always constructed from her Black Ice so she always has some of it with her. The Black Water may be un-condensed to provide large amounts of water in areas where there may be less than expected. The bending style to control Black Water is very similar to that of Earth Bending. Because this bending technique was created and developed by Ravenna herself she had done well to keep it a secret from the rest of the world. Anyone who has witnessed this bending style has not lived to speak about it.
Personality: Ravenna is the tyrant of the Water Nation and rules along side her husband the King with an iron fist. She is extremely manipulative and has no trouble taking advantage of people. Whenever she makes public appearances she portrays herself as a very kind and giving Queen, however you can still tell in her voice that she is tainted right down to her very core. Ravenna holds her own life and image in high regards above everyone else's causing her to see nearly all other life insignificant and thus disposable.
As the Queen she did not acquire such a position solely on her looks, she is an extremely powerful Water Bender even though she may not look it. Most of her subjects know that she is a water bender, but not to what extent. Some simply do not believe because they have not see her bend any sort of liquid and the rest do not know of any abilities of hers. Ravenna does not mind that the people of her nation only view her as a figure head, she actually finds it entertaining. The weaker that they believe that she is, the more likely they will try to revolt against her. Shooting down hope is one of her favorite past times, especially when they they have such confidence.
Ravenna very much enjoys luxury, when she took the crown she remodeled and expanded the Water Nation Capital Palace to a towering castle. She also wishes to extend the reach of her reign to the west where they have flooded the Earth Kingdom and establish a base of operations out there. Ravenna very much likes to know what is going on when and where so the more places that her shadow can be case over the better. She is unsure of her husbands complete motives whether they be only to teach the world a lesson or take it over completely but is fully prepared to do whatever he wishes. The more power the better.
History: - Spoiler:
Ravenna was born into a noble family and was the youngest of three other boys. Once of age, her brothers were enlisted into the royal army. The Corvus family was held in high regard because all of their children were adept Water Benders. Ravenna was growing up to be an extremely beautiful individual, there were even whispers that she may become the Princess for the Prince was soon to be of age. Ravenna had not wasted anytime getting to know the Prince, they had played in a group as children and even before she knew he was the Prince they were friends. As she grew older, she knew that if they continued along this path then they would only remain friends and she wanted the throne not to mention she was also falling for the boy. Ravenna decided to leave so that the Prince would begin to miss her. Luckily for her there were not any other girls of nobility that had reached proper age, so when the Prince had not found a Princess Ravenna will return and be ready to jump into the Prince's arms.
The wannabe-Princess went on a tour of the Earth Kingdom. It did not take long to get there bout getting through all of the cities and towns was what took the majority of her time. She learned the terrain and the outlay of the country very well along with their cultures and customs. The entire journey took Ravenna and her caravan a year and six months to complete and all for the sake of making the Prince fall in love with her. However upon her arrival she heard news of the new King and Queen's coronation that was to happen within the next few days. This information absolutely enraged her to no end and to make matters worse the woman he was to be wed to was originally a peasant. She could not believe him, how could he stoop down to such a level and court a lowly peasant. Ravenna had new sent to the new King about her return and requested a dinner with him. During the meal they both caught up with each other. Ravenna told tales of her travels and he told her the story of how he and his new Queen met. It was near impossible for Ravenna to keep back her comments of disapproval. The dinner was one of the longest she had even endured but it had to be done. She needed the information on her new found enemy.
Ravenna would not stand for anything less than Queen and she needed to get rid of this dirt the King called a wife. The night before the wedding she set out following the trade routes to a certain point outside of the capital. Eventually making it to the docks she found a shipment of food and supplies that was to be delivered to the Water Nation the next day. All the crew members were off getting drinks or doing something of the sorts so Ravenna made her way onto the ship. The King talked about how she had a taste for a very rare tea called "Moonlight Jasmine Blossom". There was a small crate in the storage hull labeled as such and using water bending, Ravenna was able to transport a very powerful toxin into the tea without opening the crate. After the deed was done, Ravenna fled the scene and covered her tracks just barely making it back before sunrise.
It was the day of the wedding and everyone was done up in their best robes, but no one looked more dashing than the King and the Queen. The ceremony was beautiful, the most perfect wedding anyone had ever seen. The even only made Ravenna ever more glad she had set this Queen on a crash course with death. The supper was magnificent, foods from every nation prepared by the best chefs in all the lands. One of the servers brought over a tray with one lone cup and handed it to the newly crowned Queen who was seated across the way from her husband. Ravenna could not help but smirk as she took a drink of her wine just waiting for her to catch her death. Ravenna was engaged in a conversation with another one of the dinner guests when she caught the young bride drinking from her tea cup. There was an uproar that even surprised Ravenna when the Queen's eyes fluttered shut and her body fall from it's spot. She pretended to cover her mouth in absolute shock when she was just simply trying to hide her smile.
Everyone was escorted out of the hall quickly as the Queen was taken into emergency care. Ravenna simply made her way back home and awaited the news. The next morning the King made a statement released that the Queen had passed, not an hour after the announcement was made was the grief stricken King knocking on Ravenna's door. Everything was going according to plan, it could not have gone more perfectly as a matter of fact. She was dressing in all black to pretend she was mourning the passing of the queen also irritated her eyes with some water to simulate crying. When she answered the door she could only what he was doing there. The two of them went to the palace and talked the whole thing over. Ravenna said that she was so upset because she simply could not imagine the pain that he would be feeling now at this moment. It's not something that anyone could get over easily. Because the nation needed a Queen, he proposed that they get married and they would work out the emotional ties later. The people needed a Queen more than anything and he knew that more than anyone being the King.
The two of them did not have a very large wedding, only family was permitted and the announcement was made the following day. It had been a week after her passing and the people were still mourning, but were satisfied that everything had been taken care of with the throne situation. They knew of Ravenna and had initially thought she was going to be Queen, but after her departure to tour the Earth Kingdom they were unsure if the Prince would wait or not. Days turned to months, and months to years. An investigation was conducted on the late Queen's death because from the medics this was no freak accident. They were able to trace everything back to a shipment from the Earth Kingdom which kindled a vendetta against the nation. He vowed to get revenge against the fools for taking his wife. In the years following it seemed he began to fall in love with Ravenna, however Ravenna did not feel as if she could trust him. Though very foolish, she believed that he would have and should have waited for her when she left and when she find out that he hadn't something snapped in her preventing her from feeling the same way towards him or anyone else for that matter. Ravenna did humor him by pretending to love him back so even if he was just pretending as well then at least they would have something to laugh about later.
The King had been building up on the complaints about the world polluting the water, and as a water bender him self and the North Pole being one of the few places left on the planet with pure water. After months of plotting, the King launched an attack on the Earth Nation submerging most of it under the ocean. Ravenna was extremely impressed with her King and he had finally gotten the Revenge he so wanted against the country. Ravenna went with a platoon to continue the assault on the world by trying to drown Ember Island but the Avatar had arrived to stop the catastrophe before it had taken its course. The King and Queen resided high in their castle fascinated with hate for the world beneath them. The King reigned and Ravenna plotted. Things were still going as planned...
Character Image/Description: Most of the time Ravenna will wear very eccentric and elaborate gowns and dresses. She enjoys being royalty and showing it, she is also not worried about encountering any combat situations being so high in stature since these outfits may prove to be rather hindering.
Ravenna also has a beauty complex trying to keep herself looking young despite her age. She has figured some unorthodox methods by utilizing her healing and bending abilities. - Spoiler:

Pet Name: Corax Pet Species: Bird Pet Gender: Male Pet Size: 26" 4.7' wing span Pet Image: - Spoiler:
Ravenna has quite a number of pet Ravens, but this one she takes care of and keeps with her. All the others live off in the woodlands and forests of the world and spy on all the different towns and cities. She sends Corax out every so often to gather information from specific regions. Ravenna is the only one aware of these spying birds, people believe that her pet bird is simply that. A pet bird.
