Hogwarts Head Canon
In the 7th year, students upgrade their outer robe from having satin lining of their houses 1st colour to a lush velvet lining of the 2nd colour
So the Gryffindor Red satin becomes gold velvet like a lion's fur
Ravenclaw blue becomes bronze velvet like an eagle's down feathers
Hufflepuff yellow becomes rich black velvet like a badger's fur
Slytherin Green becomes silvery velvet like a snake's shredded skin

Ravenclaw academia (as told by a Gryffindor):
Dunno why, but you all have really pretty handwriting but you refuse to acknowledge it. It's either illegible but looks beautiful on a page, or it's all neat and uniform.
Sitting in a particular spot to learn that's yours, where you just get lost in work or reading.
Having a rich inner world and spending just as much time daydreaming as in the real world, if not more.
Devouring information. Podcasts, audio books, library books, online articles, nothing is enough. (I also guarantee you're a master at finding where to find stuff for free)
Plastering your walls with revision notes, taking pride in seeing your hard work paying off as you feel the information beginning to stick.
Doing a bunch of extracurricular work, even if it's not in groups and you're not particularly outgoing. Online lectures, webinars, masterclasses, courses, you've tried them all.
Haunting the library, even if you don't end up borrowing a book.
Buying more books than you read until they pile up around your room.
Asking questions. All Ravenclaws I've met are the kinds of people who thoroughly understand a topic or subject before moving on. Like you're not the kind of person who uses words without knowing the definition first.
Being closed-off and seeming slightly aloof, but really flowering when it comes to discussions.
Adamantly reassuring people that getting bad marks doesn't mean that you're not intelligent, but beating yourself up when you don't meet the standard you set yourself. (Remember that you don't need to be perfect)
Loving the idea of studying, even if you don't do it much.
