Ravenna's Tattoo

• 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.
• 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.

	Relationships

• 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.
• Siblings: No known siblings
• Other Family: Paternal Uncle Jonathan and Paternal Aunt Samantha (Both of which she maintains a close relationship with)
• Significant Other/Spouse: Brommel Fortune (Boyfriend)
• Children: N/A
• Friends: See list below

Ravenna's mother

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.

Ravenna's father (younger)

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.

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.

	Background

Ravenna was born and raised in New York City, New York, Earth. Her father was a Doctor at a local hospital and he also worked with Starfleet. He was a civilian casualty during a failed mission. Mission details were withheld from Ravenna due to her age at the time and the file has since been sealed. Her mother was an Anthropologist who enjoys learning about new cultures. Her mother was her inspiration for becoming an Archaeologist, despite their rough relationship.

Ravenna's father (older)

She honored her father by completing medical school at Embry and getting her psychology degree. She completed her Anthropology and psychology degrees at the same time and began working on her doctorate immediately after. She is known for her high IQ. She credits this to her love of learning and reading that was instilled in her by her father.

She is self-conscious that she will be seen as a know it all. She has an ear for languages and has learned several over her lifetime. When she was young, she had a gymnastics coach who criticized her in Russian continuously. She learned the language to understand what was being said. Ravenna did exceptionally well in herself defense courses at the academy and joined a sparring group. She majored in Archaeology and minored in medicine. Her favorite course was ANTH 201: Advanced Anthropology and Archaeology.
