User blog comment:ChishioKunrin/"Why was Neo afraid of Raven?" An explanation./@comment-9464517-20150814121132/@comment-95.176.187.106-20150815225636

Reasons why that's not Raven's real face:

1. It is a recolor of Yang. The only way they would use the same model of a character is if it's an illusion. And dreams fall under that category.

And the "They look the same because they are mother and daughter" argument fell short when Winter was revealed. If a parent and child look identical then two sisters would have to look even more similar.

And the "they couln't make her in time" argument. I believe RT has enough models. I mean. Look. The two SSSN members haven't made one appearence yet. And they are clearly finished. Would you really finish cameo characters that barely anyone noticed before finishing a significant character like Raven?

2. Between taking off her helmet, Raven's hair changes. When her helmet is still on her hair is spiky. When she takes her helmet off she becomes a recolored Yang. I think the sound effect adds to that a bit. That from that point onward Yang is imagining it.
