-* '''Personality''': Ravenna comes across as an outgoing individual who works well in a team. She does struggle with anxiety, however, it only gets really bad when she feels something is wrong; in which she is almost always right. She struggles with her feelings in romantic relationships based on the example set by her mother which lead to her father's passing. She makes friends fairly easy, however, there are only a few that she feels secure confiding in. She is notorious for her 21st-century pop culture references and her absolute love for physical books.
+* '''Personality''': As a child, Ravenna struggled with anger issues that stemmed from her father's death, her mother abandoning her, and not fitting in as a child. This lead to several suspensions due to violent outbursts. It was a struggle for much of her youth. As an adult, Ravenna comes across as an outgoing individual who works well in a team. She does struggle with anxiety, however, it only gets really bad when she feels something is wrong; in which she is always right. She struggles with her feelings in romantic relationships based on the example set by her mother which led to her father's passing. She makes friends fairly easy, however, there are only a few that she feels secure confiding in. She cares very deeply about her friends and she would work non-stop if it meant helping them. She is notorious for her 21st-century pop culture references and her absolute love for physical books.
 * '''Hobbies''': Her hobbies include reading from real books rather than her PADD and continuing her education as advancements occur. She has a special interest in Forensic Anthropology that is separate from her area of expertise. Her MD paired with Anthropology allows her to understand the area extensively, but it is not a part of her common practice so she considers it a hobby.

 * '''Father''': Daniel “Danny” Jay Carter (deceased) - Ravenna's father was her inspiration for becoming a medical doctor and he instilled a love for learning in Ravenna that has carried her through her life. Not much is known to Ravenna about his death, though she has speculated that it was a result of the Dominion Wars. She fondly recalls their bedtime routine where he would make himself tea and her some hot cocoa and they would read medical texts as bedtime stories. At his funeral, it was revealed that she is the one thing in his life that he is most proud of. He is survived by an older brother, Jonathan and a younger sister, Samantha.
-* '''Mother''': Elizabeth “Liza” Grace Quinlan- Ravenna has a very complicated relationship with her mother that has escalated since her Father's death. Her mother has been as hands-off as possible throughout Ravenna's life, this has caused Ravenna to feel extremely isolated. She also was less than kind and gentle with her daughter, often leaving behind bruises from grabbing her and yanking her about. This ended once she left Ravenna to her Nanny's care.

She also was less than kind and gentle with her daughter, often leaving behind bruises from grabbing her and yanking her about. This ended once she left Ravenna to her Nanny's care. Liza was the Anthropologist sent by Starfleet to identify an unknown artifact. She greeted her son warmly but was less than thrilled to see that her daughter was there. It all ended in a screaming match and Liza telling Ravenna her dad hadn't wanted her either. It was then that Ravenna decided to cut all ties to her mother once and for all and live her life for herself.
-* '''Siblings''': No known siblings
+* '''Siblings''': Sawyer Moore (Half Brother)- Ravenna met Sawyer aboard the USS Constitution-B, where they are both posted. Sawyer was in the Main Shuttle bay to meet his mother, an Anthropologist assigned to help Ravenna identify an artifact, but it was quickly revealed that his mother was Dr. Elizabeth Quinlan, Ravenna's mother. He quickly realized what was happening between his mother and Ravenna and discovered that he had been lied to his whole life. Despite being the child of the affair that destroyed her childhood, Ravenna immediately accepted her baby brother as not just her half-brother, but just her brother. As they talk, it is obvious that they need each other now more than ever and that things happen when they are supposed to.
 * '''Other Family''': Paternal Uncle Jonathan and Paternal Aunt Samantha (Both of which she maintains a close relationship with)
 * '''Significant Other/Spouse''': Brommel Fortune (Boyfriend)

 '''Ghant Xerix''': Ravenna met Ghant on her first day at Starfleet Academy. They were in the same Federation History class. After a few short weeks of getting to know each other, Ravenna accompanied Ghant to his family's cottage on Risa for a fun vacation. On their first night there, Ghant was poisoned and held for ransom. The kidnappers were going to kill Ravenna until she pointed out that Ghant would die if she didn't help him. After ensuring that he was out of danger, she fought off the would-be killers. After the whole ordeal, the two were close friends for the remainder of their academy days. Ghant graduated the year before Ravenna, but they have remained friends despite being posted to different ships. They have made a deal to communicate regularly and frequently chat via video calls. Because of her role in saving Ghant on Risa, she was awarded the Silver Lifesaving Ribbon. Her first actions after receiving it was to call Ghant.

 '''Corliss Fortune''': Corliss (also called C or Wiggy by Ravenna) was one of Ravenna's two best friends in the academy, the other being Ghant Xerix. Corliss and Ravenna frequently studied in the library together despite having separate courses. Their studying often became loud resulting in stern looks from the librarian. Corliss helped bring Ravenna out of her shell and gave her someone closer to her age that she could relate to. Corliss graduated the year before Ravenna and had a huge ball in celebration. There, she insisted on teaching Ravenna how to dance and proceeded to set her up with her brother, whom she knew Ravenna had a crush on.
-'''Lazuraus Davis''': Lazarus, also known as Laz, is Ravenna's fellow science officer. They quickly clicked as friends, having shared interests and a love for learning new things. They work well together and almost immediately identified the other as a confidant. During an allergic reaction to anti-anxiety medication, Lazarus rushed Ravenna to the Sickbay on Starbase 104 and later went with her to purchase her pet tribble, Delilah.

Laz was with Ravenna during the blowup with her mother and Ravenna was grateful to him for staying and standing by her.
 '''Brommel Fortune''': Brommel is Corliss' older brother and Ravenna's boyfriend. They maintain a strong long-distance relationship that would be considered open, though Ravenna herself doesn't partake in any outside physical relations. He is a Ranger with Starfleet that takes him to nondisclosed parts of space and he often doesn't have the ability to visit. Notably, Brommel left a picture of the two of them at Corliss' Ball dancing as a bookmark in Ravenna's poetry journal marking a poem about being madly in love with the person you are with.
