Biography[]

Personality[]

Very little is known about Master Raven. Nevertheless, the fighter appears to have a cold attitude and seems to take her mission seriously, as she says: "Mission accomplished" when winning a battle. Much like Raven before her, her true identity remains unknown and she uses a codename "Master Raven" suggesting that the name "Raven" is used as a class within the United Nations secret agent division to which they both belong.

Appearance[]

Master Raven is a woman with brown eyes and brown skin, who is of unknown nationality. Her features suggest that she may have West, Central or South African heritage. She has faded scars across her face, and wears her black and blonde hair in dreads gathered into a very long ponytail, leaving three bangs in front of her face. She also shaves the sides and bottom of the rest of her hair, leaving those areas with a low buzz cut. She is of athletic build and has the musculature of a well-trained martial artist. She has a tattoo on her upper left shoulder that resembles a stylised kanji for death ( shi?), and appears to have cybernetic implants embedded into her body, especially in the sides of her face.

TEKKEN 7 - Master Raven Ending & Intro (TEKKEN 7 Character Endings)

Attached to the United Nations' secret intelligence service, she is code named "Master Raven". She is a high ranked official with plenty of sub-ordinates tasked in various dangerous missions.

With Heihachi Mishima reclaiming the Mishima Zaibatsu and waging war on G Corporation, the activities of this secret service have been increased to monitor and report what is happening in the world. Loyal to her duty, she will go to the ends of the earth for her role.[1]

Character Episode Prologue: As an agent for the UN's intelligence bureau, Master Raven embarked on her latest top-secret mission: Infiltrate the King of Iron Fist Tournament and confront her assigned target.

In the frozen area that was to be her battleground, Master Raven stood, arms folded, face to face with her subordinate's sworn enemy, who simply narrowed his eyes and took up a fighting pose.

Ending Description: After defeating Dragunov, Master Raven is amused that he was the one giving her subordinate a hard time. As she turns and walks away, Dragunov orders a tank to fire a missile at her. Master Raven easily slices it in half with her sword. Disappointed, Master Raven calls her subordinate an imbecile who needs to be retrained. As she takes her leave, a defeated Dragunov falls to his knees.

Trivia[]

General:

  • Master Raven has a tattoo on her upper left shoulder that resembles a stylized kanji for death ( shi?). This symbol is also found on Raven's shoulder in the same place, and on the armor of Raven's troops at the end of Tekken 6. The symbol thus likely represents the raven class of secret agents working for the United Nations, and their associated assigned forces.
  • The existence of multiple 'Ravens' beyond just Master Raven's subordinate, Raven, was first implied in the Wii U exclusive version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, where it is mentioned that there are 'several ravens'.[2]
  • Master Raven is one of three characters in the series to be replaced by the fighter they were the successor to, with the others being Forest Law and Combot.

Tekken 7:

  • Her item move has her perform a Kawarimi (変わり身) where she takes a hit, but will negate the damage and have a log take her place in receiving the attack.
  • She is featured in the reveal trailer for Kunimitsu II.
  • Master Raven can use her rage drive (f+3+4,2) after landing a counter hit with her Demon Knee (Master Raven facing away f+3) to launch her opponent into an aerial combo. This makes her, Josie Rizal, Lee, Kuma and Panda the only characters who are able to launch off moves that would otherwise only give guaranteed ground hits when rage is active.[3]
    • She can even return a grounded opponent, launched facing away, feet up, to a normal position with her rage drive, allowing her to use normal combos after launching with the Buzzsaw attack (qcf+2).
    • In Forgotten Realm, she can use her second rage drive (f+3+4,d+2) in wall combos. If timed properly, it will do more damage than usual. However, it will only work after a wall carry.
  • Master Raven stands as "FRV" ("Female Raven") in the game files.
