My favorite theory at the moment is that 'she' is Cinder's mother and Ozpin's ex-wife. Hell hath no fury, after all... That makes no sense to me, honestly. Presumably Cinder's comments about wanting power were made to the Big Bad and that doesn't really indicate Cinder had a long-standing relationship. She obviously has spoken to Ozpin and, given he is really old, they may have known each other for a very long time. I do like the idea that the Big Bad is a sort of surrogate mother for Cinder, though. What I have envisioned is that Cinder was orphaned after something bad happened and she was taken in by the Big Bad who promised her power to strike back against those she held responsible.
