It’s a bit synonymous with antagonist, but not always the same thing. Raven is not someone RNJRWBY are working to bring down, even if she’s doing evil things, so she’s not the villain of this story. Maybe not the villain, Spirited, but to the people of Anima she's the scourge of the whole land, so she's definitely a villain. I'm certain the people of Anima were pleading with the Mistral Council to stop Raven, those that could contact Mistral while the CCT was still online, and yet I daresay since the bandits didn't threaten Mistral, the Council didn't consider them a pertinent threat. Thus the tribe continued to raid and terrorize innocent villages while the Council did nothing, and thus evil triumphed in Anima.
