A character doesn't need a plot centric episode to explore their character. When a character doesn't spell out their life story, or have the plot reveal it, their actions and interactions give incite into their character. Sorry if I come off strong, but this sounds irritating similar to the old silent protagonist have no characterization claim which is false! I believe both 'Gaijin Gumba' and 'Extra Credits' did shows on this topic while discussing 'other M'

Anyway let's discuss Yang's already established character. She's a girl of action. Her way of getting information and her vote in Volume 2 episode 2 proved that. She has horrible punspuns, and likes to wise crack. She likes listening to Nora's Stories, that along with catching food Nora was flinging from a table away demonstrates that she's playful and like enjoys Nora's crazy antics. She's direct, demonstrated when she interrogated junior, when she asked if Penny was sure she didn't hit her head, and when she asked Blake what she was doing. She acts like a caring older sister to everyone, vol. 2 ep. 3 she pats John and says 'one day', she's concerned when they can't find Blake, when she hears a scream in emerald forest, and especially to Ruby.

Yang has a character that is well established to the point where we can picture how she would react to things. Granted we definetly are lacking a backstory, as well as just how Ruby and Yang are related. We definitely could use an episode to shed some light on the girl's pastpast, but it's complete inaccurate to say Yang lacks characterization.
