Chaotic Evil. She leads a hoarde of bandits that steal and pillage innocents. Evil. Raven only gives up the relic to Yang, because she doesn't want to bring down Salem's wrath on herself. Evil. Raven murdered the spring maden to take her powers. Evil. Raven learned how to be a huntswoman to kill true huntspeople. Evil. Raven left her responsibilities (daugher, Ospin) for her own self-interests. Evil.

Raven's "deal" with Cinder was *always* going ot be a double cross. Chaotic. Raven lies to everybody about who the Spring maden really is. Chaotic. Raven built a society completely outside of the law of the kingdom she resides in. Chaotic.

BUT, she isn't the existential evil that Salem is. In fact, her evil desires are completely in conflict with Salem's existential evil desires.

All of that said, Yang and, possibly, Taiyang are the only people in the world capable of initiating a redemption arc in Raven. She can definitely shift to neutral, tho I'm not sure she could overcome her might-makes-right ideology to ever become truely good.

Raven is no hero. She's an anti-hero in the conflict against Salem. She's an anti-villain in the conflict between her bandit hoarde and the innocent inhabitants of the kingdom.
