I suppose an added reason for Raven’s lack of outward care for Yang could be that she didn’t want to get close to her and develop too much of a bond with her that if Raven dies then Yang would be burdened with power she never asked for just like her. If Vernal was parroting what Raven told her about the Maiden’s power being a burden, then this might be a possibility. Then again she’s still a horrible mother. It seems her survival of the fittest mentality has come back to bite her.
