The Raven



The Raven is the monster enemy of Drosselmeyer's story The Prince and The Raven. Mytho shattered his heart to seal up the raven, and he now requires the sacrifice of young, beautiful hearts in order to eat them and regain his form. He stole Rue from her parents as a child, raising her as his daughter, Princess Kraehe. When Kraehe obtained the shard of love, he advised her to soak it in raven's blood, causing the shard to corrupt the prince. The Raven constantly criticizes and verbally abuses Kraehe, calling her human form ugly and telling her that the only ones that will love her are himself and the prince of the story. Eventually, when Rue's love for the Prince enables him to break free from the tainted heart shard, Mytho rescues Rue and together they defeat the Raven. The Raven does not appear in the manga, but is briefly mentioned by Edel.
