"BLESSED WITH A CURSE."

Spent close to 5 years enslaved and continued to have an optimistic outlook on life

Was abused by her older sister and continued to have some of the strongest will power I’ve seen exhibited (green lantern material hell yeah)

She’s a free spirit who doesn’t believe in inhibitions

she’s actually a very feminist character

Kory didn’t understand the taboos of American culture when she got here because she was used to speaking her mind and being free with her body 

Kory absolutely never lost the will to fight for herself or others after being experimented on and sexually abused and I find that really important

Her planet exploded (New Titans #128, you should check it out) and she continued to be optimistic and led her people to a new planet

In Teen Titans Spotlight she was framed for killing someone and isolated herself on a mountain top because she felt so guilty (Teen Titans Spotlight #2 if anyone’s interested)

She was a mentor for the Teen Titans in Teen Titans v3 and advocated that the choices they make for themselves have value and that’s important for teenagers to hear (it was important for tiny me to hear honestly)

“YOU’RE RAMBLING.” Raven remarked, offput by his poor choice of words. She was not skulking, she was minding her own business with a purpose.

She wrinkled her nose and sniffed, feigning an itch instead of calling him out on his ruse. “Sidewalks are fine for people.” Raven narrowed her eyes, fashioning him a knowing glare. “It’s birds they’re hazardous for.” In for the kill.

 Today was just going from bad to W O R S E.    His jaw snapped shut, words of little worth    washing against the pearly cage of his    teeth. 

            Shut up. Shut up until you have something              worth saying. 

   It was a bad situation, but he’d been in worse.     Of this he was relatively certain. Still, it didn’t     help that his cage was more than a little    R A T T L E D. 

            ❝Mmmh … good thing there are no birds                around here, huh?❞

Hm...

No. She could never forget. She was always aware.

“—?”

“Sorry.” “I mistook you for someone I knew.” lied Raven.

 ❝No, it’s … ❞                 D A M N - his Hypnos was off. That’s bad.                                          Very bad.                        “ I just…I have … one of those face, you know?”           Damn. DAMN.  D A M N. 

                  ❝There a reason you’re skulking around                      back here, though?  It’s not a place for                      uh           ladies. Like yourself. Or                     people in general, really. Not a good                     place for people.❞
