Your first name of Ravell creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. For your interest to be retained you need to be mentally challenged; this was most evident when young and in school. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. You have a sensitive nature--sensitive to your environment and particularly sensitive to how your deeper and more serious interests are regarded by others. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. You crave friendship, understanding, love, and affection but your reserved manner appears forbidding to others. Your feelings are very easily hurt and to protect yourself you withdraw within the realms of your own private thoughts and shut out the rest of the world. Because you learn so quickly you have little patience with those whose mental processes are somewhat slower, and you could become supercilious or somewhat "know it all" in your attitude. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love. Moods, which are your worst enemy, result.
