When a Human and a Faunus have a child, the resulting child is either Human or Faunus, not half-Faunus. This was told to us by Miles and Kerry is the December 19 2015 Facebook Q&A session. This means that it is possible to have a pair of twins where one is a Faunus and one is Human, as one child manifests their Faunus parents traits, while the other does not Hint possibility of Blake and yang being half sisters.

I thought it possible for a while, but given that the timing between Yang and Blake being born is less than 1 year, that would require some real sluttiness on Raven's part or a really weird rape situation unless they were outright twins... and they don't look that alike... it also invalidates Raven's excuse of just not wanting to raise a child. Furthermore, if they were twins or even related at all it brings up the question of why Taiyang or Qrow didn't step in for Blake.

It also makes for a pretty bad cast make up.... it just isn't great to have one of four MC's belong to a different family unless the show is all about family and that other becomes family themselves.
