Raven is the best kind of villain: a sympathetic one. She commits atrocities (e.g. killing the spring maiden, neglecting/endangering her daughter, conspiring to kill her brother), but not out of evil intent. Her motivations are more complicated and gray than, say, Cinder's. She also balances her evil deeds with moments of altruism.

So, while she's not wholly bad, she's still bad, and she's still a villain.
