Raven's human mother, Melissa Hopper, worked for the crumbling Terran imperial administration left on Alpha Centauri IV. There, she met and became infatuated with one of the locals, Ansyra Keox, who worked in propaganda development for the administration. Promising her a 'better life' as a citizen of the Empire, they were married and had two children, using advanced techniques pioneered by the Centauran people (prior to their subjugation). | Raven's human mother, Melissa Hopper, worked for the crumbling Terran imperial administration left on Alpha Centauri IV.

Shortly after Raven's sister, Kerilyn, was born, the last vestiges of Terran control in the sector fell. Attempting to stabilize in the power vacuum left in their absence, the reformed Centauran government decreed that all Terrans and any "mongrel" children would be banished and sent back to ancestral Terran space. The family was split up, with Raven and Keri sent back to the Alpha Quadrant with their mother, Melissa. According to her, she has been "adrift" ever since. | Shortly after Raven's sister, Kerilyn, was born, the last vestiges of Terran control in the sector fell.

When Raven was fourteen, her mother fell ill and died - most likely from complications resulting from their shared disorder. In order to keep herself and her sister alive, Raven began working in a 'body mod' shop - initially as a sort of novelty, but she quickly showed a great interest in and talent for the work. She learned quickly and began making experimental biosynthetic organs, driven by a desire for self-preservation - determined not to succumb to the same illness that claimed her mother. Several years later, despite her best efforts, Keri also died as the result of a blood clot in her brain. | When Raven was fourteen, her mother fell ill and died - most likely from complications resulting from their shared disorder.
