An alternative to Raven being the Spring Maiden and the Spring Maiden being forced to do those things under duress is that the Spring Maiden does them because she's a part of the tribe and enjoys the tribes lifestyle; the powers don't exactly differentiate between society's versions of good and evil, it just goes to a girl who fits the criteria; young and female.

That's why Maidens went underground in the first place - uscrupulous people were killing them to clai the power for themselves and use that power to wreak havoc, and they were succeeding.
