However (much like the circumstances regarding Summer's death), we have no information as to WHY she left. Because of that, what are your theories as to why Raven did what she did.''' To me, it was an inner conflict between civilized life and tribal life on Raven's part. For many years she was part of a world where might did not make right, which went against everything she was taught in the tribe. Not to mention I detect she was jealous of Summer, even though Raven was stronger Summer was chosen as the leader, which must've really burned her biscuits. This might've led to the downfall of Team STRQ, which Tai alluded to in "Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back". Basically, I'm thinking the reason Raven left was because she couldn't, or possibly wouldn't, turn aside from her tribal ways. So while she returned to the tribe, she didn't take Yang with her, my theory is she didn't want Yang to become like her, feeling her father was a much better role model. Or something to this effect.

Something like he wanders Anima incognito, and the Branwens try mugging him. After they are both incapacitated, Ozpin gives them a proposal; join Beacon to put their skills to much better use. Something like this anyway. Was Raven stronger than Summer, tho? How do we define this? By the very definition, Summer would be stronger than Raven, if pitched against the Grimm, due to her nature. Also, the Silver-Eyed Warriors are natural warleaders.
