Both far fetched but to be considered. Good point.

I certainly don't think she's Qrows mother but his daughter is possible, I've known cousins who looked frighteningly similar and were always confused for sisters. Given RWBY's style of animation this could be what they were going for.

My problem with this is I'd assume if they were cousins they would know each other as Qrow seems to know Yang and Ruby fairly well being there uncle who works at the school where they were taught and presumably living close enough by to rescue them from the Beowolves when they were younger.

This would mean that Yang would likely recognise the weapon and fighting style.

Qrow and Raven could of course be estranged if he divorced Ravens mother or Raven could be another of Qrows sister who lives to far away to visit often meaning Yang would be less likely to recognise her.
