You know, ever since Raven's talk with Qrow, I kept hearing people call her "Mother of the Year" ironically, and think to myself that these people clearly haven't seen what Ragyo Kiryuin has done. But I am happy to say that with the nature of her semblance known, Raven is a way better mother than Ragyo by a mile. Since her semblance requires she actually have a bond with her target, basically care for them, she obviously cares for Yang, but is more of a Sink or Swim Mentor. She won't go out of her way to help Yang because she believes Yang should be able to stand on her own, whereas Ragyo couldn't give two shits about Ryuko and Satsuki unless they acted like her little toys.

Am I saying Raven is a good parent. No, she is neglectful, but due to personal beliefs rather than just not caring. I am saying that all the people who called her "Mother of the Year" I can now laugh at since she's so much better than Ragyo that's its funny anyone would even try to make the comparison.

@Chish Any opinion on the Lightning thing being a possible clue to Nora's past?
