Raven Branwen

Raven Branwen is a character from the RWBY series.
== Charactah Account ==
Yang's missing mother, Raven rescues her daughter from being killed by Neopolitan. She wears a Grimm mask like members of the White Fang but her allegiance does not lie with them. Instead, she leads the bandit tribe that she and Qrow were both born into. She used to be part of Team STRQ with Summer Rose, Qrow Branwen, and Taiyang Xiao Long, Yang's father. According to her twin brother, Qrow, she has an unusual view of the world that he doesn't fully agree with.
Raven is cynical, patronizing, very selfish and stubborn. She believed her act of "kindness" of saving Yang's life from Neopolitan was sufficient despite having left Yang at a very young age and refused to protect her daughter when in need after that.
Raven has a "survival of the fittest" mentality and has little issues with taking the lives of the innocent or even that of other Huntsmen, indirectly or otherwise. Despite murdering the former Spring Maiden, Raven presented her actions as merciful and necessary saying that the maiden never learned anything despite the training Raven put her through and that she wasn't cut out for this world.
