Raven Baxter is a teenager played by namesake actress Raven-Symoné Pearman in Disney’s sitcom That’s So Raven. A lot of the show’s episodes revolve around her getting psychic visions of the future, and then getting into a load of trouble because of them. But in spite of her antics, Raven still remains a well-meaning and outspoken teen to her friends and family, and often likes to take charge of the things she gets into.
