Lord Jaric wrote: Is it just me or did it seem that Raven wasn't to happy that Tai told Yang what her semblance was. This is easily explainable when you consider how her semblance works: If you really do need an emotional connection to link a portal, that means that Raven actually cares for Yang more than she leads on (she probably can't help it, it is her child after all). Which means her talk with Qrow about Yang was probably at most half-true.

She probably doesn't want to show that side of her to Yang because, having spent most of Yang's life distancing herself from her daughter, Raven is probably somewhat emotionally fragile when it comes to her (or at least I hope she is, Raven doesn't really strike me as an emotionless monster...)
