This is obvious. It's a book for when I have important announcements to make concerning my books and future books I may make.
I don't own any pictures used.

Her original inspiration was NOT Akame, surprisingly. Yeah. This goes back all the way to when I was in 8th Grade, which was where I kinda started to watch Anime but I never fully saw Akame Ga Kill (both anime and manga), nor was I an Akame simp back then. There was someone before her.
From the Teen Titans, Raven Roth. (from the og Cartoon)

Yep, you guys heard right. Raven was the gal I was most downbad for (and still kinda is to an extent). She was my #1. And... I mean, could you blame me? Look at her! She was such a badass in the cartoon and I loved her Arc in Season 4. I thought the fact that she has to keep her emotions in check otherwise her powers will go haywire was cool. I found the fact that she's half demon cool. I especially loved the 6th episode from Season one where Beast Boy and Cyborg went into her mind and got to meet with ALL of her other personalities. Happy Raven, Brave Raven, Timid Raven and more, yeah I fucking loved that episode and it was the first time we got to see White Raven, until Season 4. And then we got her VA, Tara Strong. She did SUCH a good job as Raven.
Also, I was obsessed with cloaks back in the day, so that's also a plus.
And of course, yes, I was... to put it lightly, absolutely drooling over her outfit. I think my thing for gals in leotards, thicc thighs and cake started with her.
So yeah, when I was starting to write my own shit in books back in the day, I originally based everything in the Teen Titans Universe and Kuraime kinda started out as a "sister" to Raven. I think her name was Eagle or something, to stick with the bird theme. Instead of Raven's indigo color scheme, Eagle had a green color scheme (reminds you of someone? ) This was also where Dairoku was made as well. (Another fact, during this time, Dairoku and Kuraime/Raven were a ship.)
Of course, my writing was absolute garbage back then. I wrote in more of a script format, rather than an actual story. Slowly as I was getting better and better, I started to slowly separate my Ocs from that universe. But my mind was still on Raven, so I ended up making a character named Raven that had long black hair and dark purple eyes. Eagle remained, but became the little sister. This was also around the time I started to get into anime like Akame Ga Kill.
