Raven

Raven, whose alter ego is Rachel Roth, is a superheroine from DC Comics. While Raven has appeared in various adaptations, she is best known for her appearance in the 2003 Cartoon Network animated series Teen Titans.

Between her goth looks, mystical powers, and sexually appealing design, Raven is without a doubt one of the most popular waifus in Western animation, beloved by /co/mrades and /co/omers alike. Thus, she consistently appeared as one of the top /co/ntenders to win the Ms. /co/ tournament.

As winner of Ms. /co/ 2025, Raven is ineligible from competing again.

Tournament History

Raven was the top seed of Ms. /co/ 2018, but lost by 3 votes in a surprising upset to (the arguably underseeded) Toph Beifong in round 3. She returned with a vengeance in the 2019 edition where she blitzed her way into the finals, only to lose against Steven Universe: The Movie FOTM sensation Spinel. However, some anons consider Raven the "true winner" of 2019 because of Spinel's victory being marred by heavy FOTM (before rules were in place for it) and allegations of cheating.

After serving her temporary suspension in 2020, Raven returned in Ms. /co/ 2021 as one of the pre-tournament favorites alongside Frankie, Azula, Shego, and Toph. This group was collectively named "F.A.R.T.S." by some anons, and the term was extensively used in that year's discussion threads. Raven was seeded 15th in the bracket, but as the tournament progressed, owing to what was seemingly the heavy spite atmosphere of the years tourney many of the high seeds, including the FARTS quintet, were steadily knocked out each round. She survived a scare from Godzilla's Mothra in round 2 before finally being brought down in yet another upset by Disney's #111 seed Alice in round 3. The superheroine returned in Ms. /co/ 2022. She had quite a good run this year, making it all the way to the Top 16. Her progress would hit a hard roadblock, however, after running into the top seeded powerhouse of Fang. She ended up chomped like most of Fang's opponents before and afterwards.

After continuing to remain strong, Raven had a lucky break in Ms. /co/ 2023. Her first two match-ups were considered unfortunate for her opponents, Uzi Doorman from Murder Drones and Huntress Wizard from Adventure Time, as both had strong campaigns that year. She tore through the former while getting a surprisingly narrow win against the latter. Some supporters of both candidates would later jump on to help push Raven to the Elite Eight once again to make her victories worthwhile. After this, Raven had a smooth time making her anticipated return to the Elite Eight, with her thread support continuing to grow as a result. She would win easily against Clover Ewing from Totally Spies!, but finally meet her match in the highly-pushed Eris and would end at 4th after a close rematch with Toph for 3rd. Despite being considered the least active of the Top 4, the line-up of Eris, Raven, Toph, and eventual winner Wuya was generally well-received at the time. Following revelations around one of the hosts and her support for Wuya, however, a consensus that either Raven or Toph should have taken the win would start growing during retrospective on the tournament.

Raven would return in Ms. /co/ 2025 a heavily favored powerhouse. The aforementioned strong history and general idea she had been screwed over twice now (first by Peruvian Spinel brigades in 2019 and a host in 2023) would contribute heavily to the build-up discussion around Raven, especially as 2025 marked the 8th and "all-star" year of /co/ tournaments. Delivering on this, Raven would end up blasting through almost all competition, and with bigger vocal support and campaigning than any prior year. Coming in at yet another high seed at #3 and overcoming the first four rounds with large to respectable victory margins, Raven would join the E8 for a 3rd time with a lineup almost entirely consistent of multi-time E8 powerhouses, including her fellow Teen Titan girl Starfire and anticipated past rival Toph. Raven would easily beat Nani Pelekai, then would finally have a close shave in semifinals against the one E8 newbie Ragatha. The match against Ragatha inspired much fanart and buzz for both. As Raven would come out victorious the traction and support seemed to pick up to its peak for her as she finally faced off against Toph again, this time in finals. Besides Raven and Toph both being both old powerhouses at this point, the finals was seen by many as an anticipated "make-up" for both having been screwed out of their "real" finals faceoff in 2023. In the end Raven would avenge her prior losses to Toph, beating her by a significant 60-40 margin and becoming the 8th Ms. /co/.

Raven's surprisingly rather runaway win in finals was perhaps attributable to her noticeably greater hype and opponent fan support following the Ragatha match, in opposition to Toph's somewhat lower hype compared to 2023. It is also an interesting point that Raven had won the tourney with her comic book variation as the poll picture instead of the much more famous Teen Titans cartoon look, causing her to smash the "comic pic debuff" perception in the process. Raven also marked the first former runner-up winner in /co/ tourneys, breaking the "runner-up curse" for Ms. /co/ which Mr. /co/ would follow doing only a month later with Daffy Duck.

Raven's win was positively received, with her widely seen as among the best /co/ tournament winners to date.

Raven would return less than a few weeks later for the Ms. /co/ All-Stars tournament, against the seven other Ms. /co/ champions. She was an expected favorite alongside Jenny and Frankie to win, and would unsurprisingly seed in the top three along with them, at 2nd. In the first round she would avenge her 2022 loss by defeating Fang by a sizeable margin. In the second round Raven faced Frankie in a matchup that, much like her previous Toph match, was somewhat a long anticipated and "screwed over" faceoff from 2019 in what many by now considered the real finale of that year. Seen as near equals and apparently neck and neck the whole round, Raven would end up losing to Frankie by only one vote. This extremely narrow loss was perhaps a result of the recency of having literally just come off her Ms. /co/ win working against her. Afterwards, Raven would beat Betty Boop for 3rd, cementing her expected place as a top winner.
