a) becoming a Maiden is completely contraproducent to staying away from the shadow war

b) her reaction to Cinder implying that's what she did

The Spring Maiden might have been dying, asked to be killed, or maybe killed herself in front of Raven OR  out of control in some form of destructive rampage and Raven killed her to stop her. But I do not buy "cold blood murder for power" here.

She said it was mercy kill. The former Spring Maiden was just a scared girl who couldn't control her powers, not even mentiining how she was one of the most hunted people. I don't think Raven ever wanted that power for herself. Raven just happened to be the person who set the girl free and therefore the last person she had in her mind.
