Why does she need to be redeemed? She abandoned her family, she abandoned basically the world for quitting the fight against Salem, she MURDERED the Spring Maiden even knowing her importance to the world all because of her preconceived notions of power, and all for wanting to raise a bandit tribe? What about her deserves redemption? Killing Tai would be a drop in the bucket for what she's done thus far. Telling Yang about her semblance is more than just that, it's also telling Yang that Raven could have been in her life whenever she wanted and CHOSE not to be. That has turned Yang against her mother, which is a point that was made abundantly clear in their meeting. And furthermore, Raven was visibly angry when Yang mentioned the fact that Tai had explained how her semblance worked, so just that fact as motive isn't out the window either.

As for her semblance, we know she has a portal to Tai, to Qrow, and to Yang, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have portals to other places, for example, the one thing she cares about above everything else, her tribe. And besides, it doesn't make any sense for her to portal all the way to Patch just to leave the vault, which is Mistral. "Yeah, I need to leave this room so I'm going to teleport halfway across the world." I'm not buying that. And what, does she do that every time she needs to leave a place? Where did she go to leave the train after she saved Yang? Back to Patch so she could spend weeks to months flying across the continent back to camp?
