You guys need to look up what an anti-villain is. Both of you just perfectly described an anti-hero. An anti-villain would be on Salem's side but would have heroic qualities as well. An example of an anti-villain would be Lionheart, because he joined Salem's side but still gave information to Ruby and co and was somewhat heroic in the end. An anti-hero does heroic things more often than outright villainous ones while Raven has done a few actions that could be interpretated as heroic but most of her actions are villainous like killing innocent people and a young girl, abandonning her family and later selling them to Salem just to save her own skin whereas anti-heros have their limits and often do good actions for their loved ones' sake and find their courage against a real threat whereas Raven is still running and unable to stand-up for her loved ones for now.
