I'm inclined to think that Raven's portals are a utilization of technology related to her sword or some sort of ability related to her background, rather than having anything to do with her Semblance. There are several reasons that I have for this opinion. For one, the woman in that inn when Qrow and Raven were talking seemed terrified of Raven when she saw the portal, which inclines me to believe that it has nothing to do with her semblance, seeing as how it makes little sense that a semblance would shock someone working at a place like that. I actually think it probably has something to do with the "family" that both Qrow and Raven originate from because they are apparently from a group of bandits, which would explain the woman's fear at seeing the portal. Several characters have strange powers completely unrelated to their Semblances, such as the Maidens and Silver-Eyed Warriors such as Ruby and her mother Summer. In Greek mythology, ravens were a symbol of good fortune, so it seems likely that Raven's Semblance has something to do with that. Whatever the portal ability was, it doesn't seem likely that it originates from something as common as a Semblance
