You all want a 'reasonable' reason why I defend Raven and why I believe in her, well here's one: YANG STILL BELIEVES IN HER!

Despite what she said to Raven in the vault, she still sees the good in her. She could've told Qrow and the others that Raven was the Spring Maiden, but she didn't. She knew the dangers her mother faced if that truth ever came out, so she decided not to tell Qrow or the others to protect her. The same with her taking the relic; like she said, Salem will come after her if she has the relic, so she will take it and protect her from Salem. Even though she was hurt by what happened, she chose to protect her mother.

So yes, I admit it, Raven isn't the best person. Truthfully, I felt it whenever I saw her on screen. But despite that, I know deep down within that shell of cowardice is not only a hero, but a mother that Yang believes exists.

So yeah, you want a 'reasonable' reason why I believe in raven, because Yang does. Overall, my opinion isn't important, Yang's is, and I know she believes in her mother. I believe that Raven will atone for her past sins and that is why when Volume 6 comes around, I will be rooting and cheering for her to the highest degree.
