Not the case. Cinder was wearing her red outfit during the fight with the Grimm. And we know for a fact that Glynda was their too, working with the other people to fight the Grimm.

Plus, its not just dark hair and a red dress (Although those seem to be pretty damn rare). If other students from out of town are seen fighting at Beacon, wouldn't Cinder immediately stick out as a powerful pyromancer?

We know Sun and Neptune were sent off on a mission, and the Beacon staff obviously know more about characters' semblances than the audience does, so Ozpin  (if he is as smart as everyone makes him out to be) ought  to know what Cinder can do.

What I'm annoyed about is how Ruby is supposed to be some child prodigy, yet she doesn't recognize the person in the red dress at the battle, at least in the  aftermath. Nor does she recognize the powerful pyromancer in the comms tower. She is only a prodigy so she could get into Beacon early.

Finally, what is Cinder's true plan? If it is something as generic as a coup, then a large scale battle is inevitable. Plus, given Emerald's reaction at the dance, Ironwood appears to be smart enough to be a seen as a threat.
