Basically, I'd say she was originally born human, or maybe the same race as Ozpin (whatever that may be), but her malicious, vengeful heart distorted her appearance until it became what we saw in "End of the Beginning." So while she may have a humanoid form, I'd say she discarded whatever humanity she possessed long ago. Ozpin pretty much said the same thing in the intro of "Ruby Rose."
