Ravens (Cherry)

Ravens (烏, Karasu) are the characteristic summons of Izaya whom has introduced them as essential watchers of Amegakure and intertwined them with his combative, illusive and defensive movements. Later, after he was allowed to return to the village, Shikon caught the interest of Izaya even more. Eventually, Izaya taught the summoning of the Ravens to him.

The ravens appear to be all over Amegakure and the Land of Rain. They also act as messengers and collecting Intel throughout the world.

Overview and Symbolism
Ravens are often misjudged birds for their nature. Mankind has symbolised them as ill-omen and death which are just a few examples of their gruesome thoughts about these large black birds. These intelligent creatures contently move on and could care less about the superstition mankind have created. Instead, the ravens can use these associations to manipulate the foes mind into believing that it is the truth.

Aforementioned the ravens are high-intelligent creatures and use it to excel in various purposes. These birds can act as spies and messengers to collect and share Intel with each other but as well with their affiliates. The raven has the power of thought and the ability to intuit meaning which increases their ability of learning – excellent for the above mentioned. And thus with its curiosity, the raven spreads it wings to make long-lasting journeys.

Ravens are the shadows of the inhabitants of the Rain. They can sense the pain and sorrow that lies within them. They can feel the essence of the ancestors of the Rain. Some even say that these ravens are the souls of the fallen that rest here and protect them from evildoers. It is why these large black birds are believed to be the light-bringers to delve out those of the dark side – those that wish to intrude the safe haven built by the innocent and victims of the wars.
