Is she or isn't she? He throws in little clues for, like Blake's bow twitch, and against like her not raising her hand in class for discrimination. This keeps the suspense up. Her not raising her hand kinda makes sense, at least. If she is a faunus and is wearing her bow to hide it, then she wouldn't raise her hand even if she has been discriminated against.

Then there's my random theory that she could be wearing the bow not because she wants to, but because her parents want her to and have wanted her to since she was young. Like, if her parents didn't want her to have to go through the descrimination they went through. There are parents who do stuff like that in real life, after all. I've heard of a man with dwarfism forcing his son to never wear shorts because his son also had dwarfism.
