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. | [[File:Raven-Hopper-Square.png|thumb|250x250px|Raven Hopper, circa 2399]]When Raven was fourteen, her mother fell ill and died - most likely from complications resulting from their shared disorder.

With nothing left for her in the Alpha Quadrant, Raven left - in search of a faction with greater resources and an interest in her work. She eventually found such a thing in the rapidly-expanding Betazoid Empire - the Unified House of Betazed. While still looked down upon as an "outsider", there was sufficient interest in her research for her to be granted some favour. She found a niche for herself, granted the opportunity to experiment on subjects - first, cadavers, and later live - from among the "worst of the worst" criminals and traitors taken prisoner by the House. It was during this time that she earned the unfavourable nickname, "Hopper the Chopper". | With nothing left for her in the Alpha Quadrant, Raven left - in search of a faction with greater resources and an interest in her work.
