@Alhazad Careful not to assume you know the circumstances of the Spring Maiden situation...

It's entirely possible that Raven did not actually have any intention of recruiting the Spring Maiden into her tribe. Rather, she wanted to help Spring get stronger, just so that it would be harder for Salem to take the Spring Maiden powers for her use. Whatever happened to Spring, I don't think Raven wanted to end up with the powers.

Raven makes it sound like she felt it was a mercy kill due to Spring not being strong enough to handle the responsibility of being a Maiden. She could have gotten frustrated and decided that it would be best if she killed Spring and let the powers fly off to someone else in the world, not expecting to receive the powers. I still wonder if it's possible that Spring wanted to die and asked Raven to kill her, and deep down, killing a kid bothered Raven. Though, it is probable that it was not assisted suicide.
