You know… I wasn’t always like this. I used to be like Raven… young and crushing on the town’s hero. When I was about eleven years old, there was this boy who caught my eye. His name was Theodore. He was charming and brave. Everyone in the town liked him… including me. He would always defend the town and protect the citizens from danger. He was a very popular guy in town. We both went to the same school but I wasn’t nearly as popular as him. Honestly I only had a few close friends whereas he had the whole town on his side.
It was the week of the middle school dance and everyone was asking out their crushes to be their date to the dance. As expected, all of the popular girls were asking Theodore to be their date, however, he had not accepted any offers. My friends were insisting that I ask him. They convinced me that the reason he hasn’t said yes was because he was waiting for me to ask him out. I got all excited and decided to stay up late making a cute poster to ask him with.
The next morning I wore my best outfit and even put on some perfume that I stole from my mom. I got to school and went to my friends for a pep talk because I was starting to get cold feet. They convinced me for the second time and I approached Theodore. He was at his locker. I went ahead and unrolled my poster asking him to the dance. He stared at it, then back at me, then back at it and then quickly burst out laughing. He said and I quote “why would I ever go to the dance with you? You’re ugly.” I ran out of the school and flew home crying.
From that day forward I vowed to never let a hero humiliate me like that again. Matter of fact, I vowed to embody all that Theodore hated. I wanted revenge on the whole city. I wanted to be the one in power, so that is why I became a villain.
