Not because the tribe was in dire straits an dthey needed Old Man Schnee's money (they probably would have gotten a spec ops hit squad instead, because teh Schnee's can't look like easy targets.), but because they're being greedy. Not like they went out to find her or anything. She just fell into their lap. It isn't like anyone is saying she is a hero, just that she isn't quite a villain either. Raven keeps going back and further between doing things we expect of villains and things we expect of heroes. There is a term for this kind of character dynamic, but not sure it helps in terms of whether she qualifies as a villain or a hero. How do we even classify her presently? What she did last was defeat Cinder and hand over the Relic, which is literally what the heroes had been trying to do unsuccessfully. It wasn't quite a virtuous way of doing it, but it was still not the villainous way to behave.
