Raging Raven was the aerial attack and demolitions expert of the The Beauty and the Beast Unit. She, along with the other members, suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
She was recruited to The Beauty and The Beast Unit by Liquid Ocelot, fitting her with her flight suit and a MGL-140 grenade launcher. Ocelot told Raven that killing Solid Snake in battle would allow her to finally make peace with herself and rid herself of all of her inner hatred and rage, and thus Raven was dead-set on destroying Snake.
Old Snake first encountered Raging Raven in the Middle East, where she, along with several of her unmanned Raven Wing drones, firebombed local rebels. Upon infiltrating a rebel installment, Snake discovered that the Rebels had somehow recovered a piece of one of her drones, and had it on a table deep within their underground complex, still attempting to flap and fly away. Raven was seen occasionally swooping over the battlefield and dropping bombs on the rebels, although Snake would not directly encounter her until much later in his mission to destroy Liquid Ocelot.
