 * Raven is a faunus, possibly a crow-faunus, like her brother Qrow;


 * Raven was a member of White Fang when it was still a peaceful protest group (which wasn't unthinkable for a faunus Huntsman or Huntress);


 * When the new triumverate took over, Raven felt that, being loyal to the true White Fang, it was her duty to overthrow them and restore the organisation to its true believers;


 * She's been fighting a one-woman guerilla war against the Fang and against their human criminal associates ever since; that's why Neo instantly recognised the Grimm-Woman;


 * Knowing that she couldn't mix such a quest with a family, she left her new child with Taiyang. Whether or not Taiyang agreed with her reasoning, he was heart-broken. Summer who, despite being Raven's best friend, had always been her rival for Taiyang's heart, stepped into her place and became a mother to Yang and later to her own child, Ruby;


 * As Raven has never been officially confirmed as dead and there is no provision for divorce in Remnant, Taiyang was never legally allowed to give his younger daughter his name.

Aaannnd now on to speculation:


 * I suspect that Raven may have visited a young Yang and Ruby at least once in the past although they were too young to know her as anyone other than one of Mommy's Huntress friends;

Sounds more like a fanfiction to me XD
 * Summer's death occured on the last mission of Team TRQS - She, Qrow and Taiyang had accompanied Raven on an important mission to save the world from one of White Fang's more genocidal plots. Ironically, although Summer's sacrifice was vindicated in that the plan was defeated and many of those responsible for it killed, The White Fang was so weakened that it finally accepted the offer of assistance from the group that would, one day, number Cinder Fall amongst its agents.

Regardless, why does everyone seem th think Raven is just? She could very well  be a bad guy! D:

Heck, she could even be Cinders boss!
