+**Devi Ravi** is an inhabitant of [[place:Togi]], sister to [[character:Dejan Ravi]] and daughter to //Prana Ravi// and //Ishar Ravi//.
 ===== Personality =====
-...
+Devi is a girl of actions //and// words. Prone to acting and speaking before thinking, Devi is known as something of a hothead, extroverted and stubborn. She has a strict code of ethics that she demands other people adhere to, without that they're ever publicised, and any presumed breaches are met with venom and an attempt to interfere. On good days, this means she exhibits commendable civil courage. On bad days, it makes her a vicious opponent.
+Despite her extroversion and strong collection of opinions (that extend well beyond just the topic of ethics), she frequently proves she has an open mind by being a great source of level-headed, unassuming advice - but one does need to speak to her in private to get it.
+She has a low tolerance for bullshit and will call it out if she encounters it.

+"I don't have to justify myself to //pokémon//," Devi snarls, words laced with a whimper, now stemming her weight as far sideways as she can bear, her hands clasped around the wrist of the raptorian holding her, trying to force her nails past the scales, barely even causing the creature to rumble in protest. The grip doesn't shift. "I'm curious, why do you think so?" Jagdish inquires, his words icy, mocking her - and the vulnerable position she's in.

I suppose you didn't pay much attention to Marcus' trial, then. Just how much //death// would you like to suffer?" Cynicism was getting the better of him.
