Out of character moments

Doug S. Machina:
Whenever she does or says something smarter than usual, she covers it up immediately with something stupid. When Penelope "You're not as stupid as you look" she says she has her pant on backwards. When she snarks Faye she says "I'm FAR too dumb to use sarcasm." She's hiding behind obsfucating stupidity.

Or Jeph was going for a punchline, but I like this idea.

Orbert:
I like that theory. I remember when she told Faye she was too dumb to use sarcasm, it occurred to me that of course she was using sarcasm, but since everyone treasts her like she's dumb, she might as well use it to her advantage. Faye was left not really knowing for sure whether she'd been slammed, while Raven can walk away chuckling inwardly.

It's easier to act dumber than you are than to act smarter than you are.  Plus, if you get caught playing dumb, people still aren't sure.  If you get caught trying to act smart, you look really bad.  And stupid.

bicostp:
Or maybe she's just impulsive, gullible, and somewhat lacking in common sense and general knowledge.

Surgoshan:
Okay, Raven's an avant garde anthropologist earning a PhD studying the lifestyle of Western Mass. hipsters.  Discuss.
