Reven Queen

Raven Queen is the daughter of the Evil Queen, the main villain from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She is not "evil" like her mother, but she is destined to play the role of villain nonetheless. This does not sit well with her. Against all tradition, she considers the possibility of rejecting the road laid out for her and rewrite the story so that she'll have a Happily Ever After of her own.

Portrayers

In English, Raven Queen is voiced by Erin Fitzgerald.
In Latin American Spanish, Raven Queen is voiced by Mildred Barrera.

Character

Personality

Contrary to popular belief at Ever After High, Raven Queen is not evil or even so much as mean. She is kind and considerate with a sarcastic side born from frustration over her unjust reputation. When people try to socialize with her, she is skeptic about their intentions, but not so much that it limits her ability to make new friends.
Raven is not the first student to dislike where her story is taking her, but she is the only one in her class to take actions towards free will: starting with the small step of pursuing her love of muse-ic, a subject usually reserved for good princesses.

Appearance

Raven Queen has pale skin, violet eyes, and slightly wavy hair in the colors black, purple and maroon. She has purple eyeshadow and matching purple lipstick.

Relationships

Family

Raven Queen is the daughter of the Evil Queen. According to "Raven Queen's Story", the two have a strained relationship. The Evil Queen is currently locked up in Mirror Prison and often says badly about Raven's father, the Good King, whom she considers spineless. This angers Raven, as she has a good relationship with her father.

Friends

Raven is best friends with Madeline Hatter, who originally was going to be her roommate too until Apple White requested that she be roommates with Raven instead. Apple and Raven are not friends, although they attempt to be on friendly terms at least.
Cedar Wood is also considered a good friend, and Cerise Hood is mentioned as another friend of Raven's in the latter's profile.

Pet

As a child, Raven had a puppy named Prince. During Legacy Year, Raven acquires a dragon named Nevermore.

Romance

Raven's priority in life is where her story is and should be going, which leaves no energy to spend on dating. Dexter Charming likes her, but she is oblivious to this...until she receives a love poem from him on True Hearts Day. She thinks highly of him and appears to be developing feelings for him that are beyond friendship.

Timeline

Book

Raven receives a puppy for her sixth birthday. Her mother, the Evil Queen, turns her puppy, Prince, into a bone rat. The experience affects her enough to help her realize that she does not want to be evil. During her first year at Ever After High, Raven witnesses the second-year class sign the Storybook of Legends on Legacy Day. The Storybook of Legends Raven and her father, the Good King, visit Pinocchio, Cedar Wood, and the Blue-Haired Fairy. On the last day of summer break, Raven packs for school, has a final dinner with her father, and has a conversation with her mother via mirror. Raven Queen's Story Raven and her father, the Good King, visit Pinocchio, Cedar Wood, and the Blue-Haired Fairy. On the last day of summer break, Raven packs for school, has a final dinner with her father, and has a conversation with her mother via mirror. Raven travels to Ever After High using a Travel Mirror. She asks the Three Little Pigs for help with her luggage, but they run away in fear. She goes to her dormitory and discovers that she will be rooming with her best friend, Madeline Hatter. Apple White stops by to welcome her back to school on behalf of the Royal Student Council. Maddie appears in the dorm with magic and the two of them play a game over tea. During lunch, everyone gets their class schedules except for Raven, whose messenger was afraid of her. She goes to her counselor, Baba Yaga, to retrieve it, and tries to add a Muse-ic class to her schedule of General Villainy, Home Evilnomics, Poison Fruit Theory, History of Evil Spells, and Kingdom Mismanagement. Baba Yaga relents, but warns her about the idea of “choice”. Headmaster Grimm calls her into his office to discuss her yearly chat with her mother and to make sure the Evil Queen’s existence is still a secret. He then removes Muse-ic from her class schedule and admonishes her for trying to take a class so far-removed from her destiny. Raven leaves his office and hears music. She follows the sound to find Sparrow Hood practicing with his band. She asks if she might be able to join as a backup vocalist, but they laugh her away for being evil. Raven returns to her dorm to find Apple White as her roommate instead of Maddie and runs away, overwhelmed. Raven attends Briar Beauty's Book-to-School party. Her presence is met with unease from the other students, but Apple helps her to fit in. Raven defends herself from Duchess Swan’s taunts, but is unable to control her anger when she mentions her father. Raven turns all of the birds into snakes and goes back to her dormitory. At the end of Orientation Week, Raven Queen attends Legacy Day practice. During her pledge, she implies that she does not want to be the Evil Queen, to the surprise of the audience. Milton Grimm and Baba Yaga warn her to follow her path. After practice, she is congratulated by Dexter Charming. They conspire to sneak a look at the Storybook of Legends in advance to see how their stories turn out. While Dexter creates a distraction, Raven goes to Headmaster Grimm’s office to see the book, but she is cut off by Helga Crumb and Gus Crumb. She puts off the plan for another day. After planning for days, Raven is finally ready to go into Headmaster Grimm’s office to check the Storybook of Legends. She plays basketball in the first Grimmnastics class. She confirms with Dexter that he’ll provide a distraction while she checks the Storybook of Legends for signs of their futures. She finds nothing on either of their pages, but discovers a fairytale she’d never heard of with a destined villain who did not sign the Storybook of Legends. Raven becomes determined to find out more about Bella Sister.

Madeline Hatter

Madeline Hatter, referred to as Maddie by her friends, is a 2013-introduced all-around character. She is part of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as the next Mad Hatter, and she is a student at Ever After High. In the destiny conflict, she is on the Rebel side out of a general belief that people should be free to choose, though she herself is eager to follow in her father's footsteps. In fact, she spends a good portion of her free time working at the Mad Hatter's Tea Shoppe in the Village of Book End, which is owned by her father. Madeline loves every minute of it, from gathering ingredients, to brewing, to brightening up someone's day over a warm cup of tea. As all Wonderlandians, she has access to Wonderlandian magic, although it is more accurate to say that Wonderlandian magic has access to her, because she doesn't have control over her powers. The most significant way Wonderlandian magic manifests in her is that she sometimes has visions of other times and other places.

Character

Personality

Madeline is bright, energetic, and extremely friendly. Generally, she interprets things more positive than they are, the one exception being when people are explicitly arguing. Madeline is also extremely fond of tea and keeps an entire tea set, including her tea buddy and pet Earl Grey, in her hat to be ready for tea time wherever she goes. She has many reality and 4th wall shattering perks, such as being able to hear the narrators and claiming to see into the future- though people rarely take her seriously on either of those.

Appearance

Madeline's hair is curly and comes in three colors: dark turquoise, light turquoise, and purple. She has bright blue eyes and light skin, and is a little shorter than her female classmates. Her main fashion motif is tea; most of her outfits incorporate tea set-inspired details. In addition to her hair's colors, her clothes of choice feature yellow, black, and blue. Combined with a vast array of nonsynchronized patterns, her average look is a busy one, befitting her energetic personality.

Ever After High

Ever After High is a web series and a fashion doll franchise released by Mattel in July 2013. It is a companion line to the popular Monster High dolls. However, in this line the characters are based upon characters from fairy tales and fantasy stories. As with Monster High, the line varies in different countries.

Dolls[edit]

Ever After High dolls are the sons and daughters of famous fairy tale characters. Ever After High dolls are comparable to the Monster High dolls, also by Mattel. Ever After High dolls have round faces and thick limbs closer to a traditional baby doll. Madeline Hatter has a body mold that is a somewhat thicker version of the Howleen Wolf and Twyla doll body molds. They are also articulated similarly to Monster High dolls, but only their hands are removable. They are a modified version of the Traditional ball-joint doll[1]

Storyline[edit]

Ever After High storyline is based on the lives of the teenage children of famous fairytale characters who are supposedly destined to follow in their parents’ footsteps in order keep their stories alive throughout the generations. If they do not, these stories will cease to exist and the characters will disappear into oblivion. This controversial problem is the core conflict of the story.
The main characters are Raven Queen, who is unhappy with her destiny, and Apple White, who is destined to "live happily ever after." Raven would prefer to create a new destiny for herself, while Apple White believes that if Raven changes her own story, this will put her own "happily ever after" in jeopardy. The school is divided into two factions the "Royals" and the "Rebels". The Royals are supporters of Apple, who know they will have a "happily ever after" and are content with their fates. The Rebels are supporters of Raven, who prefer the idea of creating their own destinies. Many disagreements and fights result between the groups.
