Fans know Teagan best from her performance as Raven / Rachel Azarath / Rachel Roth in the DC Comics series Titans, which ran from 2018 to 2023. Throughout her time on the show, Teagan promoted the show extensively on her social media, clearly proud of the work they had all done together.
“The Titans season 2 finale is out tonight!!!” she captioned an Instagram post in 2019. “And on Thanksgiving weekend- quite fitting, because I am thankful for so much about this show. I’m thankful for the amazing opportunity, for the talented people I get to spend time with, the friends I make, the fun I have, and all of you. I love interacting with you all and seeing you guys love the show as much as I do.”
During a 2023 interview with Marie Claire, Teagan noted a strong lesson she’s learned from her time working on various sets: the “intense friendship” she developed with her co-stars.

“I moved around a lot when I was in high school, and there were times when I didn’t have any [school] friends,” she said. “Instead, I had this whole community of people online, and they would make videos saying, ‘On the off-chance that Teagan sees this, we want her to know that she’s really loved.’ And I did really feel the love.”
