Cory Baxter is the son of Tanya and Victor. He is Raven's younger brother.
Appearance[]
Cory is an African-American boy of 9 years of age.
Background[]
Cory is Raven's younger brother. He and Raven often argue, but in the long run, they care deeply for each other. Even as he gets older, he claims that playing pranks on Raven is one of his guilty pleasures.
Cory has two best friends, William and Larry. Together, a trio of boys form the band, called "Cory and the Boys", with Cory as the drummer and lead singer, while Larry is the guitarist. William starts out playing the clarinet, and then plays the keyboard. The band has two songs: "Feelin' the Love" and "Loving the Feeling".
Cory is also shown to be an aspiring businessman/entrepreneur; thus, he is shown to be obsessed with money. Often, he creates "get-rich-quick" schemes behind his parents' backs, in which he always gets into trouble. Cory also has a close relationship with his pet rat, Lionel.
In the first season, when he was younger, he was shown to have had an obsessive crush on Chelsea. As the series progressed, he grew out of his crush and began to think of Chelsea as dumb and annoying - very unlike his past self. Regardless, he is still nice to her.
His catchphrase is "Cha-Ching".
