[@happyvocal]

I'm not sure if people have noticed that Raven's a classic case of someone with avoidant attachment issues. When you look at those moments of vulnerability, you see a broken person who is completely distrusting of others, someone who wants to love but is hurt to the core and can't. That is not to say that she is the victim here, as she has done many terrible things along with her tribe. But after V9, I'm thinking that something DID happen with Summer, something so irreversible that it changed her for the worse just as much as it changed Qrow. She's revealed herself to be a person lacking empathy in wanting to seem tough, that the strong live and the weak die, and all that. We eventually see that this is a facade. In fact, when she cares about people she cares about them so much that it hurts her too much to hold on, because she's afraid it'll just be taken away. She couldn't just be honest about Salem, because she knew that they'd fight against her no matter what she said. I wouldn't be surprised if Raven let that life-changing injury happen to Yang in order to try to discourage her from being a huntress-- from being scouted by Ozpin and eventually led to fight against Salem. And trying to get Yang to join her tribe with that same end. And finally, Raven's semblance. Portals that lead to people she cares most for. How appropriate for someone who is too afraid/runs away and cannot bring herself to forget about her loved ones. Eventually she always returns.

[@davidkoudelka10]

You have a point in all this. She does seem to have Avoidant Attachment Issues. The one thing I disagree with you is that Raven let Yang lose her arm. Raven is a b***h, I think we can all agree on that, but I don’t think she would go that far to dissuade Yang. Though I certainly agree that Raven would try to convince Yang to stay with the tribe (as seen in her first meeting with her). When Volume 10 comes out, I am SO interested in what Raven has to say about her and Summer’s mission. I got my on theories on what happened, but I guess we’ll see.

[@NioGetsume]

@@davidkoudelka10 I'd wager that if she was aware of Yang's fight if anything stopped her it was fear of Adam. Regardless of how he lost in the end, no longer at his best and slipping because he couldn't handle his emotions, at his best he was dangerous enough that I think she'd hesitate. But it might be more likely that she stopped herself from watching Yang after that single save to make herself keep that promise of Yang only "getting one save." I'd guess that her not being aware because of something like that is more likely.

[@davidkoudelka10]

@@NioGetsume Oh by all means, Adam was a FEARSOME fighter, but one that Raven may have been able to defeat (being a maiden and all, albeit leaving with a few wounds maybe) and would have regarded with contempt. She definitely knew Yang lost her arm after the Fall of Beacon (as evident by her meeting with Qrow), but likely only learned after the incident occurred.

She's a better mother than most parents who leave their children, that's for damn sure. Most of them just end up leaving their kids and never bother to check in at all. Raven has literally been in Yang's life more than most people are willing to give her credit for. Not to mention that instead of running like everyone else claims she does, Raven had actively became the reason for Yang going down the path of a huntress and the reason she's gotten as strong as she has. Sure, some kids force themselves to become stronger in those cases, but it was literally what drove Yang day in and day out and that has ultimately shown in this video. As a wise bird once said, "That's real Mom of the Year material, Sis."

Probably old realization people have already had ages ago during volume 3, but when Qrow shows the old team STRQ photo to Yang (around 3:28) he subtly moves his thumb to cover Raven’s face.

I’m of the belief that Raven will get killed and/or sacrifice herself trying to protect Yang (something Yang will unfortunately have to witness) and Yang will inherit the powers from her mother. Yang is like her mother in many ways. Although I’m still trying to figure out why she never told ANYBODY that her mom is a maiden. Like I’m pretty sure she didn’t even tell Blake so I’m curious to see if and how that’s going to play out.

I really think a STRQ flashback would answer a lot of questions. Did Raven really leave Team Strq without a word or did she have knowledge about Salem that didn’t coincide with what Ozpin said and the rest of Strq didn’t want to believe it? Idk why but I feel like Tai is hiding something...

[@demon108hunter6]

Yeah like everybody in team STRQ had a role to play summer had silver eyes, Qrow is Ozpins agent, Raven is the spring maiden but what about tai he had no point for being in that team. Which is why I think he’s hiding something

Yo dawg, I don't know if you watched the same v5 I did, but Raven was very accommodating towards Yang despite her tantrum in 5.4. Raven gave Yang exactly what she demanded regardless of her own personal views about Qrow and Oz and clearly gave Yang a choice to leave or stay.

[@serpentzero5544]

They still view each other as family despite everything else. On some level they want to love each other but their views are too different

[@Catras_unfairly_gorgeous_smirk]

@@serpentzero5544 Agree. One of the only reasons I'm still watching RWBY is cause I wanna see the conclusion of their story. Yang's been searching for Raven her whole life and Raven clearly treats Yang better than she treats everyone else. It's so obvious Raven feels for Yang with how Yang can get under her skin to the point where she makes Raven cry. And I got a gut feeling that the only reason Yang hasn't told the crew about Raven being a maiden is cause that's her way of respecting Raven. Yang knows Raven doesn't want to be involved in this whole mess, so she doesn't put her in a position where she'd be forced to get involved. She leaves the choice to Raven herself. We've seen so many subtle hints that these 2 care about each other and I hope to dear heavens that RT doesn't screw this one up and has Raven redeem herself and make it up to Yang and her brother.

[@clairvaux8459]

Raven had one of the best introductions of all the character. Dramatic music, scared off Neo without actually making a move, daunting presence. We knew from first sight that she's a certified badass. I hope she shows up again and ties up some loose strings with Yang. Not a full reconciliation, perhaps. That might be too idealistic lol... Also hoping for more interactions between the Branwen siblings. 🙏

[@anthonyworstell3768]

I relate to Yang in many ways. The first being that I’ve never met my real father, I had stepdads that took up the mantle of fatherhood. But, still to this day, I’m determined to find my biological father-wherever he is-and find answers about the other side of my family tree. Years of searching goes by, and then when I finally reached adulthood, I get a strange text from a person who’s name I’ve never heard of. Turns out, my mom knew exactly who she was. Someone who was actually searching for me for years: my long lost cousin from my father’s side. I had many questions, some that brought me closer to understand the other half of myself. Although this doesn’t bring me closer to my real father, I’m proud to reconnect with my cousin. Strangely enough, my long lost cousin knew my other cousins from my mother side of the family. A small world we live in, indeed.

[@smileysatanson3404]

Raven is the perfect example of the people who has a need to try and convince you that they're not scared yet... she's nothing but a scared little girl inside, all that armour and powers are to set fear in people before they get to know the real her, maybe thats why she ran away, because she was scared to show her true self

[@whateverandapathy]

Part of me likes to think Yang calls Raven mom for two reasons. -To never let Raven forget that no matter how much she runs, she can’t escape the fact that she is such to Yang. -To keep herself from ever slipping up and becoming just like her.

[@jittercritter]

I really love Raven tbh, I thinks she is a complex character and I hope we see more of her. I especially hope we find out what she knows abt Ozpin, and *how* she knows it. The “I used to trust him, too” line really makes me think there’s more to their story than we have seen.

The FNDM tends to shit on Raven for leaving Yang and Tai but my theory is that Raven truly loves the both of them but she hides it because she’s secretly protecting them and they don’t know it. Also the reason why I think Tai and Summer are together is because Raven asked her to watch over and keep them safe, Summer is also the only who knows why Raven left. Why Raven is also leading the bandits was so that she can keep them under control and make sure they don’t try to increase in size and overrun Remnant or worse join Salem. The thing is the FNDM is quickly judging her on what she’s doing now not knowing why she’s doing it!

Coming back to this reminds me so much of how I felt about how my own biological father isn’t around. I’ve only got my mom’s side and a step-dad. Not for very long, but long enough to pass a year or two. My mother’s raised me alongside my grandmother, and she’s had to play both roles, even if she never meant to. I’ve asked for help from my uncle, gotten tough talks from my cousins with their own families. At the very least, I’ve got a rough idea of what’s right and wrong. I want to find my dad. But at the same time, if I do, I don’t think he’d even recognize me. So, I’d much rather focus on the family I have now.

Yang and Raven's talk in the vault is one of my favorite scenes of the entire series, Yang practically took the truth and repeatedly slammed it in her mother's face.

So, in the flashback, Yang has black hair. This could just be the artistic style of the flashback and, if you look hard enough, you can see hints of gold in her hair, but it could be something else.

R: it's not that simple, you don't know me you don't know what I've been through, the choices I've had to make. Y: your right, I don't know you, I only know the Raven dad told me about, she was troubled, and complicated but she fought for what she believed in whether it was her team or her tribe. Did you kill her too? R: I've stared death in the face over and over again, and every time I've spat in that face and survived because I'm strong enough to do what other won't. Y:Oh Shut Up. You don't know the first thing about strength, you turn your back on people, you run away when things get to hard, you put others in harm's way instead of yourself.

Y: yeah, I'm scared...but I'm still standing here, I'm not like you, I won't run, Which is why your going to give me the relic! R: and why would i- Y: BECAUSE YOUR AFRAID OF SALEM! and if you thought having maiden powers put a target on you back, imagine what she'll do if she finds out you have a relic, she come after you with everything she has or she could come after me...and I'll be standing there, waiting for her.

Yangs birth Raven: *imma head out*

[@juanchololgamex8653]

Some years later: Yang: "Summer Rose, My mother!" And I really love the bar scene where Qrow tells her off, in the start its not eve "Hey sis" "hey you" or "sister" it's just "Raven... what do you want?"

[@BarstoolBlues33]

Yang and Raven could practically be twins how much alike they look besides Yang’s blonde hair from Tai. Well...also their tempers...

[@EmptyMan000]

Yang has her mother's ferocity, beauty, and strength, but she has her father's determination and kindness.

[@cristiangomezmontt6248]

Vergil 🤝 Raven Refusing to pay child support

[@TheTenebrys]

Most say that ironwood giving yang the arm seems like special treatment but the guy is rich,heard that yang fought like hell,and he's already missing like half his torso so he knows what shes going through

[@karimjrhabassi94]

Yang: As luck would have it my uncle showed up Me: Hehe luck ;)

[@deiondavis6273]

So I have a theory. The reason why raven left is because she wanted to protect yang. She wanted a normal family but instead Tai wanted to help Oz to defeat Salem. Raven didn’t want to get involved a war against Salem. So she thought that maybe if she left, Tai will be able to raise yang and forget about Salem and ask Summer Rose to be with him. And she didn’t want everyone to know that she has the maiden powers too.

[@digimonalvatrax2738]

Or Salem would know she has maiden powers and come after her family

[@Bmoregaydude]

I love her character she’s very authentic

[@bensloan3109]

The Yang-Raven plot is my favorite in the series idc fight me

Raven is Best Mom, Change my Mind, Not Possible!

[@davidvandersterre]

That first real appearance of raven when Yang was in danger is still one of, if not the most memorable moments of this show. Truly fire 🔥

[@HunterXMoon]

In retrospect, Raven was right about Ozpin

[@CreepyDoll1234]

Spoilers!!!! Not gunna lie the fact that Salem got the lamp and had no confrontation with Yang is a let down

[@expiredkoolaid_1832]

Can we.. talk about HOW MUCH YANG AND HER MOM LOOK ALIKE?!-

[@EmptyMan000]

Well they are mother and daughter. It's a given.

[@Heraldo_Del_Mar]

Sooo...are we still gonna ignore the fact that Yang's told NO-ONE that Raven is the new Spring Maiden and how she got the powwrs from the last girl?

[@kaylapuppyss]

I really hope they give Raven a redemption arc where she arrives in Atlas to give aide to her family and face Cinder once again and again smash her face in.

[@batwithfire484]

2:36 look at how her sword clips through her weapon holder Edit: AND ARM

[@TenzaTengoku]

Why do I have a feeling Yang along other girls are going to become the next season maidens.

[@jonesjones830]

That would be cool to see, but also sad 😭

[@BarstoolBlues33]

When Raven and Yang are angry they have the same face lol. That’s how you know they are mother and daughter.

[@user-mu1os7me8s]

27:27 Knowing what I know because of Volume9, I feel like Raven is apologizing for failing on her and Summer's final mission. If they succeeded, they would have defeated Salem, and Yang would've had a better childhood. However they failed, Summer died, and Yang grew up without a mother and is now having to fight Salem in her stead knowing there's little chance of success.

[@kaylapuppyss]

“And I’ll be standing there… waiting for her.” Yang stood and fought against Salem and rocked her shit… sucks that she’s immortal.

[@Aices147]

All I know Raven loves her daughter

[@EmptyMan000]

Not more than herself unfortunately. She's too selfish.

[@kyleyuen245]

I think it's ultimately great that in the end Raven proves yang right, and all yang can do over she had the relic is cry because for the second time in her life her mother left her

[@annaheartfilia122]

yang and raven is my fav character and I love they story and mother and daughter forever 💖❤️❤️💖

[@PRINCESS2527]

@19:00 wait....😳 so raven knew the truth about ozpen and Salem the whole time?!?!! 😳😳😳..Wow I hope they bring raven back cause I have many questions!!! Lol

[@dragosanders4234]

I think since her and qrow was given the bird transformation to be ozpins eyes

[@Sam-kl7zw]

@L E V E L 0 in my opinion, after being given her powers by Ozpin, she begin asking Oz lots of questions to see why would he gave a part of his magic to them, probably thinking that there is more to the story than to what he told to the others about Salem and etc. She probably threatened him which is why he just told her everything.

[@anthonybouffiou153]

If I remember correctly when he told RWBY about salem he also mentioned team STRQ(their parents and Qrow's team) was made aware of salem.

[@Sam-kl7zw]

but he didnt tell them everything about her , right? I bet Raven won’t buy that

[@TURTLE-zj4bq]

TIME STAMP: 23:47 R: I warned you yang, I gave you every opportunity to walk away from Qrow and Oz, So you can believe me when I say this wasn't personal. Y: You opened the vault R: Thanks to the chaos you and your friends caused upstairs, I knew you could handle it, your MY daughter after all. Y: Qrow and Oz told me how the maiden powers are transferred, the girl you found, she would've had to have trusted you if you were in here final thoughts,Cared about you a lot. R: I'm sure they told you plenty and you just sat and obeyed. Y: No, I'm starting to ask questions like you said, so tell me, what happened to the last spring maiden? Did she die in battle? Was it sickness? R: What does it matter to you? Y: I could already see the answer, It's all over you face, How could you!? R: she was scared when we found her, Weak. No matter how much training I put her through, She never learned, she wasn't cut out for this world, and with those powers she would've been hunted her entire life. what I did- Y: wasn't personal. R: IT WAS MERCY Y: which is it mom? are you merciful or are you a survivor? Did you let me walk into that trap because you knew I could handle it, or because I meant you could get what you wanted? R: it's not that simple, you don't know me you don't know what I've been through, the choices I've had to make. Y: your right, I don't know you, I only know the Raven dad told me about, she was troubled, and complicated but she fought for what she believed in whether it was her team or her tribe. Did you kill her too? R: I've stared death in the face over and over again, and every time I've spat in that face and survived because I'm strong enough to do what other won't. Y:Oh Shut Up.

[@catboymiles7224]

oh the way everything abt raven is slightly recontextualized due to That Scene in v9…

[@fabricatedghost4065]

"I only know the raven dad told me about. She was troubled and complicated but she fought for what she believed in whether it was her team or her tribe... Did you kill her too?" Yang isn't talking about her "killing" Cinder she's talking about old raven the person she was before she ran... Ouch

i rlly wanna know more about raven

As luck would have it crow shows up do you still think your a bad luck charm ?

Good old qrow protecting his family

[@saramations]

Fun fact! When volume 2 was new, Raven wasn't a Maiden! Maidens didn't exist until volume 3. That's pure mom energy she's exuding!

[@markthechaotichedgehog1566]

Damn I got no words for that that's just wow😮

[@user-mu1os7me8s]

I feel like Raven is going to die saving Yang and Yang will become the Spring Maiden. That would redeem Raven as a mother, and such a scene would have a great impact on Yang, so it would be interesting to see where her character would go from there since she would be a maiden, and she would possibly seek revenge against the killer as well. Raven could show up in Volume 8 since Ruby sent the call for help across Remnant and Raven has a portal semblance, so it is entirely possible we will see her again this volume.

[@Baptisteog18]

Remember Raven’s semblance? She could reach her if she wanted too.

Anyone else noticed that when Neo got scared, her eyes turned to silver like Ruby's?

[@Potsie95]

I think it was just an animation goof

[@YiPeaches]

They turn vanilla, her pink and brown eyes swap colors depending on whether she's attacking or not and we've seen them turn green or purple as well. I think she just has mood eyes and the pale vanilla is her fear color.

[@Doggeslife]

@@YiPeaches The only time I saw them green or purple was when she was disguised as someone else.

[@ohididntseeyouthere2489]

I kinda wished they explored more of Ravens character development

[@hteteaindraykyaw996]

It is such a mystery why Neo's so scared of Raven while she can fight head on with Cinder.

[@mikegonzalez1821]

Kinda hoping Raven comes back in volume ten and helps. she had enough time to think. Maybe if she hears about Yang and Ruby have been lost would she come to help ?

[@Loispealz34]

Doubt it. But ruby's worldwide proclamation is probably gonna do a number on minstral, and on the brownwen tribe. She has 2 choices: keep running, or actually do something for once. I'm assuming it'll be 2.
