just making sure people keep this in mind incase it turns out they aren't true (it'll lessen the shock value)

Other than that, it seems likely~ Raven's last name is known to be Branwen and, honestly, I think it would be absurd to suggest it is just a coincidence that well before we knew that name a "montyoum" account gave Qrow's last name as Branwen. I always allow room for doubt in anything that isn't 100% confirmed, but I think there is essentially no chance that Branwen is not Qrow's last name. The same last name and similar first names leaves me with no meaningful doubt about whether Qrow or Raven are family. My stance is that it is as good as guaranteed and something that can generally be accepted as confirmed.
