Besides the fact that she is your favorite character give me one good reason why she should/could live and help going forward in the story. This is a show about people surviving the post apocalyptic world, and people die in an apocalyptic word. If you say your going to stop watching just because raven dies, then your not a the 100 fan your a raven fan which is not a true fan of the show. Jaha can do her job as engineer, which I think would be cool to see. Shows do kill off characters that have a big fan base, look at the walking dead they kill off way more fan favorites than the 100. I really like this snow, but it is no way near as good as twd. This shows biggest problem is the lack of main character deaths and all the shipping if they ever get past this problem the show could be as good as twd. TWD has only once killed anyone in its top 5 most popular (according to IMDB polls). That was Glenn.

Daryl is its fan favorite, and literally has an #ifdaryldiesweriot group that is rather loud and which seems to have gotten it's way in the last season premiere. The 100 killed it's #1 fan favorite by polls... but not by choice, Alycia left for FTWD and they had to.

I agree, if you stop watching because your favorite dies you aren't a true fan of the show... but unfortunately we are usually outnumbered. Networks intervene to save fan favorites, for fear of losing viewers. Raven has specifically survived this long due to a high popularity. With some people still trying to get over Lexa and Lincoln, killing Raven seems a little overly ambitious for the writers at this point, and it would just be poor timing for that reason (from a viewer count management perspective).

I have some faith that Raven is fine for now.
