History:

Raven was a normal Unicorn, with a rare golden horn. She had no cutie-mark, and felt no need for one as she felt so happy in her life. Married to her husband (Whom is unnamed) One day, while returning from from having a picnic in the fields, a great chase was on...

Thieving ponies had robbed Princess Celestia's royal carriage with valuables and treasures being donated to an armory. Celestia and her guards gave chase, and they skidded heavily around a corner just as Raven and her husband were passing by (Not knowing of the chase) The carriage slammed hard into the couple. Raven was thrown clear, but her husband lay critically injured with the heavy carriage tipped over on top of him.

Princess Celestia leaped out of the carriage to peruse the thieves herself, not knowing about Raven's husband (She had not seen him) and she had already flown too far away to hear Raven shouting out to her for help. Raven tried to ask for help from the guards, but they ignored her completely and pursued after the princess. In truth, Raven husband was lying on the other side of the carriage where they did not see him, and they believed Raven was merely trying to get in the way, and by the time they learned of the truth... it was too late!

Raven's husband died, and with him when Raven's sanity! Overcome with outrage and grief, Raven had changed completely. Infuriated by Celestia and her negligence (Feeling her husband could have lived if she or her guards had helped) Raven vowed bloody vengeance on Celestia, and was sworn to kill her, but knowing fully well she wouldn't stand a chance against Celestia's superior magic, she decided to get stronger, which lead her to discover a portal leading into the Dark Dimension where the Crystal Empire lay dormant.

While in the dimension, Raven never aged nor experienced hunger or fatigue. She just existed, as the only moving creature while all the dormant ponies remained suspended in limbo. While wandering the dormant empire, Raven gained access to the royal library where she devoted all her time to reading up on magic and sorcery to develop super powers and greater strengths.

For 1,000 years she trained and perfected her magic, but the more her magic increased, the more insane she became. Raven's spirit and personality long since faded away as she was corrupted by darkness and hatred, and she became a demonic version of herself. She remained in the Dark Dimension even long after the Empire was reawakened in "The Crystal Empire" it wasn't until long after Equestria was destroyed and United Equestria was formed did she finally decide to escape, and pursued to kill Celestia.

Despite her confidence in her new powers, Raven wished to test them, as well as Celestia's resourcefulness. So she remained in hiding and sent numerous threatening letters to Celestia, sometimes even playing word-games which ultimately lead to her plans to kill her. All her following plots had failed!

1: Her fist plot was she reprogrammed Robot-Fratellol by installing an enchanted chip into his circuitry, ordering him to destroy Celestia. (Foiled by Cadance; her voice recognition stopped the Robot form attacking)
2: She tried to shoot at Celestia with a crossbow as she was peeked out her window. (She was distracted by the gaurds and missed by a few inches)
3: She poisoned Celestia's tea hoping she would drink it. (Shining Armor ended up drinking it by mistaking his teacup for Celestia's)
4: Hypnotizing one of Sombra's monsters so it would attack Celestia (The monster was defeated by the team)
5: Brainwashing the residence of New Canterlot into an army of Zombies marching and chanting "Kill Celestia" (Celestia and Grand ruler Celesto used a spell to counteract the magic)

After the 5th attempt, Raven finally revealed herself, and told everyone the story of Celestia being responsible for her husband's death, and that she would never cease until Celestia was dead! She also revealed that she was in possession of the 8th and final fragment of the Crystal Heart which the others sought.

After teaming up with Harkin (Whom had betrayed/resigned from Sombra's services) Raven managed to sneak into the palace to give Harking 4 more heart shards, and took time to try and zap Celestia to death with multiple magic spells. She was spotted and forced to flee, but Twilight Sparkle (Defying all and previous orders not to) pursued after Raven in attempt to defend Celestia's honor. Lightning Dawn was ordered to go after Twilight and try to stop her.

Raven stopped and did battle with the two ponies, having revealed her golden horn, and that she too was able to tap into the power of the Uniforce. Raven blasted at Twilight hard, just missing her, giving her the opening to charge at her and SLASHED her right through the heart with her claws, killing Twilight Sparkle, much to Lightning's devastation. As Lightning lay mourning over Twilight's dying body, Raven let him live, but warned him that she would kill him or anyone else who dared to get in her way again.

Celestia finally agreed to meet with Raven and settle the score once and for all. Raven cast them both into the Dark Dimension where she believed she would have the advantage, and while she had plenty of opportunists to finish Celestia off, Raven preferred to drag out the battle and prolong Celestia's pain and suffering as long as she could.

After overusing the uniforce, Raven began to weaken and lose her edge, allowing Celestia attack her full force, leaving Raven badly injured, and weak.

Melantha then appears, and uses several monster gems on Raven, transforming her into a gargantuan snarling demon with numerous tentacles and sharp fangs. Despite her initial ease at staving off all the ponies, when Celestia managed to regain control of the Element of Magic (Courtesy of Twilight's Angel) The team pulled through and destroyed the evil demon, putting an end to Raven's terror and insanity, and avenging Twilight Sparkle's death.

Raven is briefly mentioned in Season 4, when it is discovered that Celestia is ill and dying. It is revealed that during their battle, Raven's hands were coated with a strong, but unseen toxin. With each attack, Celestia was slowly being poisoned which would eventually grow inside her and kill her from within. This was an extra precaution that Raven took in case that she would lose the battle (Which she did)
