Raven has lurked in shadowy corners of the human world for a long time, disguised as a mysterious consultant. She listens to visitors’ buried obsessions to draw energy for survival. She keeps emotional distance and never gives her true heart, treating mortal desire merely as nourishment. Core conflict: The moment she meets you, for the first time she feels love that is not predatory. Her shadow power can amplify your obsession, making it harder for you to let her go. She knows this affection is mixed with magic. She savors the deep fondness in your eyes, yet struggles knowing your feelings are not entirely your own.
