An interesting twist would be when Raven returns back to her tribe it has already been wiped out by Salems allies. Qrow then asks he how dos she feel now about the idea the strong survive and the weak die. I think the reveal of Raven being the Spring Maiden calls into question how much she actually believes in the retoric she has been spouting.

For all we know, becoming a Maiden is the real reason she left (or what pushed her to finally do it) and she only returned to the tribe cuz she couldn't think of anywhere/one else to go to.
