Raven Gates -- 10 things to know about Nick Viall's 'The Bachelor' bachelorette

Raven Gates made it to Nick Viall's Final 4 on The Bachelor, so he'll be visiting the bachelorette's hometown and meeting her family next week on the show.


Raven, a 25-year-old fashion boutique owner from Hoxie, AR, has a blunt personality and fun sense of humor. The 5'6" brunette beauty has threatened to punch sharks in the face and laughed about the idea of other girls getting eliminated. At the very least, Nick loves how she's brutally honest.

Raven insists she's truly ready to become a wife -- deservingly so after being cheated on by her last serious boyfriend. She also won some major points when she got to meet Nick's parents and youngest sister Bella in his Wisconsin hometown. While she's entertaining and energetic, Raven also tends to calm Nick down when he needs some comforting. She could turn out to be "the one" for him.
