She was married to Jay, the train conductor who was murdered early in the game, and has picked up enough from him to operate the train if we ever get it working again.

An unknown individual stole her uniform and faked her death via the train's furnace at the start of the game.

RAVEN (née HAMTARO)
Age: pre teen
Gemstone: "completely clear, like a diamond, aside from a tiny red spot in the center: a gemstone trapped within a gemstone" (first mentioned here)
Description: Raven has black hair and grey eyes, and can occasionally be seen wandering around town but is most reliably found at Poppy Hall after dark. Following the "sacrifice" of several characters, he awoke without any memories of his identity or past life, and was given the temporary name Hamtaro before learning his true name. His family is dead, and according to the note he had written on the back of a photograph discovered in a burning house, he had sworn to bring them back no matter what the cost. According to the townspeople npcs, according to Crow, a boy named Raven died in a house fire many years ago.

Nnnno, that's it. It's too bad, but a name is a lot already, right? Like, compared to nothing.
no subject
Mmm. [She nods.] And it is better than forgetting. A lot of people on the island town went forgetting. Like Anya's Papa and Mama...they have forgotten many things. Even Anya.
[It hurts, but she has to accept reality at this point for what it is.]
no subject
He feels as if a knife twists in his gut to hear that Anya's parents have forgotten her, remembering the terror that ran through him when he merely thought of the possibility of his family no longer recognizing him- or him not recognizing his family.
But the dead can come back to life.
And he remembered his own name. ]
Maybe we can get them to remember again, like I did. Rinne showed me a photograph— that's how I remembered. Do you have anything like that? Of you and your mom and dad?
no subject
Anya's family pictures are at home...the only thing Anya got to keep from home was, um, two pins.
[She holds them out after taking them out from her pocket. One of them is a lightning bolt. The other is a lapel pin that looks like a dagger.]
This first one is called a Tinnitrus Bolt. It is what Anya's school gives to students for being bad. This second one, though, is Papa's pin. He always wears it. But he might be suspicious if Anya has it and he does not know Anya. So Anya keeps it safe.
no subject
What'd you do that was so bad you a- a tinnitus bolt?
[ tinnitus?? whatever it's called
anyways, he looks surprised because he wouldn't think Anya would do something SO BAD that the school gives her a black mark of distinction. ]
no subject
[A smile forms on her face.]
Some Scyon [scion, she means scion] was mean to Anya's friend. So Anya's fist moved on its own.
[that dumb boy didn't matter anyway smh she was just there to have a good school year because....papa wanted her to have a good school year there for some reason(???)]
no subject
ooooooooohh my god, Anya killed a man ]
Yikes! Remind me to never get on your bad side. [ He likes not being dead. He thinks he can remind himself. ]
But this Scyon guy deserved it, right? Your school's wrong. You didn't do anything bad.
no subject
[The small falls away.]
Anya would not hurt you, Raven. You are good. You would not hurt people like that.
[She thinks, at least.]
no subject
Y-yeah. Of course I wouldn't.
[ He's been told he's blunt, but he's not mean on purpose— not sure if that's better or worse, though. ]
