That's actually not a bad thought for Blake being Cinder's long lost daughter.

But a slight rebuttal to some of your points: when you say we don't know much about Blake's family. We don't know much about anyone's family; all we know is that Yang and Ruby are sisters (not by blood), Ruby has an uncle Qrow, and Weiss has a rich family.

True, Blake is the one we know the least about in regards to the topic of family bonds, so it could turn out that she is indeed Cinder's daughter; however, that thing about there being half human/half Faunus doesn't sound right. Saying a person is half human half Faunus means that their 1/4 animal and 3/4 human, which is what the Faunus look like now (actually the fraction of human genes would be higher seeing that Faunus only have a set of ears or a tail). As far as we know, there is no such thing as a half-Faunus or Fullblooded Faunus, just humans and Faunus.

I can't say anything about Cinder's goals for working with the White Fang, but I think it would be bigger than trying to get revenge for her lost husband and daughter. As a big villain, she has to have a lot more up her sleeve and also more of a backstory than, "I want revenge. That's why I did it," because Blake said it herself that the White Fang would never work with a human; her goal would have to be bigger than her own personal vengeance.

Still though everything is in the dark on the whole topic, so you never really know.
