Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides the immediate ones? Cousins, Uncles, Grandfathers, Aunts, et cetera. Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative?
Oh dear god, let’s get started on this shitshow.
Because Raven insists on being so goddamned complicated, the way we figure out her family is largely based on the bonds she has and who she has abandoned. By combining those factors, we have her family. The only blood-family she has due to being orphaned at a young age are Qrow and Yang.
I would say that while at Beacon her team became her family, meaning Summer and Tai. Because of the way she grew up, blood isn’t something that matters to her.
Now, I know she refers to the bandits as her family, but I don’t think that was every truly the case. She felt loyal to them, perhaps even that she owed them for rescuing her and Qrow. But I don’t think she had a bond with any of them. Now, when she goes back, they aren’t her family. She’s using them as a means to run and hide, a way to escape. I do believe she felt some sort of compassion for the previous Spring Maiden, I don’t know if it’s enough for her to have had a bond or what. Then there’s Vernal, who Raven clearly cared for and trusted, as Vernal acted as a decoy. But because of using Vernal as a decoy, I would not count that as family, not really.
So for Raven, Tai is the only one left, and she ran away a long time ago, but still has a bond with him.
However, she alienated herself from everyone she cared about, isolated herself as a means of protection. So really, right now she doesn’t feel close to anyone, no matter what evidence we’ve seen about their feelings about her.
