At this point though when she has no part in the story and not actively planning to be part of the fight, I would place her in same category as lets say... Tai. An civilian, maybe?

If we are talking about RWBY's morality scale, then she is probably on the neutral ground. Well, Raven saved Yang from Neo. Then they hold Weiss to sell her back to her father. She forms an alliance with Salem's people to protect her tribe, all the while planning to betray Salem's people. However, she second-guesses her plans to take the spoils for herself after talking to her daughter to give the heroes a net win. It isn't clear what happened with the Spring Maiden, but supposedly Raven killed her. Not knowing the circumstances, it is hard to say if this was another morally-gray action.
