Half the time it felt like Raven wasn't even sure of her own motivations for doing what she does. She's horrified to discover that all the vampires she's staked over the years actually lived because just staking a vampire in this world, even through the heart, won't kill them. She can absorb the "light" of other mages and make them mortal for a time, even though doing so makes her sick, and drinking blood gives her no advantages that most vampires would take as a matter of course. She goes after criminals with an abandon that would make Olivia Benson and Jessica Jones cringe, getting them into tight spaces where she either strangles them to death with her legs (a source of some really irritating sexual humor later in the story) or, if they're vampires, staking them. Raven, the half-mage-half-vampire MC in this story, should probably fall under the TSTL* heroine label.
