What do you think Raven is the black sheep of her family because she is not a mage and feels more at home in the wild any way. Served in the military as part of the Ranger core doing border patrols and raids and ambushes and became one of their best snipers . orcs killed her brother, and Father blames her self for it and swore revenge on her honour to see them all dead and will kill an orc on sight. She also has to sisters that a very strong mages both are as different as day and night ( more detail on them will be availed upon request.) Does not care about good or evil just her honour. As well has a fascination with shadow dancers and stories of how well their are at infiltration to the point of living shadows.

Her vendetta against orcs is a useful character trait; make sure she doesn't get herself killed trying to attack a thousand of them or something though. Is she an assassin or a ranger? Her backstory says "ranger" to me; but then, if you're breaking stereotypes, that's cool too. A "military sniper"-style assassin, working in the woods, would look a lot like a ranger. Are you going to multiclass? I think you ought to clarify this phrase, though; it confused me: Orks killed her brother, and Father blames her self for it and swore revenge on her honour to see them all dead (BTW, it's "orc".) She seems more LN than LE to me, by the way. You may have to tweak her backstory to make her capable of cruelty if you want her to be evil. Or you can just make her a LN ranger, which would bypass that requirement nicely.

As for killing borks *sorry orcs* on sight, don't most adventurers do that anyways? I mean, normally, when I see an orc it means an initiative roll. Make her a bit more evil. Drittz Do'Urden was a good aligned character but slaughtered orcs every time he got the chance. Make it a bit more extensive, more in depth. :)

And about good and evil she was not suppose to cares in that the ends justify the means thought when dealing with orcs she is a clod blooded and very vindictive killer
