@ the anon who listed "Reasons why that's not Raven's real face"

1. Raven's eyes are actually a different shape than Yang's in that scene, so it isn't really a complete copy of Yang's model. The only thing Raven has that was copied directly from Yang is the hair. It's possible that they didn't have time to make a completely new hair model, rig, and texture and put collision boxes on it.

2. We haven't yet seen Winter's model, only concept art of her. Weiss' model looks different from her concept art. In fact, compare Weiss' concept art (maybe even one of these two pieces of old Weiss concept art: 1, 2) to Winter's concept art. There's also the fact that Winter is older than Weiss. And, really, in anime and cartoons, characters tend to share distinct similarities to their parents, not look exactly completely identical.

3. I guess you don't know why Scarlet and Sage (the rest of Team SSSN) didn't show up in volume 2. It's because their models weren't complete either. That's exactly what the crew said. Scarlet and Sage weren't finished and ready. For all we know, the stuff we've seen of Scarlet and Sage in the show could've been 2D art, just like what happened with Emerald and Mercury in the volume 1 after credits scene. The only reason we noticed then was because they were in an animated scene up close, and they just slid forward. We've only seen Scarlet and Sage in a still image during the volume 2 opening and a distant shot in an episode.

So, Scarlet and Sage are not a good example for why Raven's model couldn't possibly not be complete.

On top of all that, Miles said that they almost didn't finish making Breach in time.

4. From what I can tell through the way the scene was animated, Raven's hair was tucked away. When the camera is slightly behind her as she's taking her mask off, you see her hair come down. Also, the "spiky hair" looks like it could be feathers, and it's still there after she takes her mask off. It's just on the back of her hair and seems to be tied by the scarf in her hair. Here's a link to when she starts taking her mask off. Use the settings on the video and change the speed to 0.25 to watch it in slow motion.
