By that I mean they share a mother and that Raven shares no blood connection with Ruby, I can personally see Yang's mother being 'loose enough' at this point for her to have other children out there that she (both Yang and Yang's mother) wouldn't even know about, though that just might be my biased opinion of what we know so far. Raven may give Yang a 'join the darkside speech' if she is full faunus and Yang is the rumored half-faunus. She may even show signs of jealousy at Ruby as an obstacle between her and Yang and may want her out of the picture so to speak (that part is just wild speculation on my part). What if she's simply Yang's cousin, as in Qrow's daughter? I know that specially in 3d animation, it's hard to gauge how old a character is, as long as it's not real old or real young, as models are usually for children, young adults and the elderly, but she certainly looks just slightly older than Yang. Then again Ozpin might be (as some people suggest) one generation older than Ironwood, but other than his gray hair, he looks as if they could be team partners (and might as well have been)

Mind you, I want her to be Yang's mother and Qrow's sister, but I'm ready to accept alternate explanations.
