Back to the Raven as Faunus issue. The Branwen surname fixes the legend strictly in Welsh legends. The raven is a kind of demigod in status, as the brother of the god Bran the Blessed, protector of the isles, is named a raven. There's a mention of Bran being a giant, which could be a template for Yang being the strong guy in the series, and I imagine Raven is comparatively sized as a fully grown adult. (Yang is still growing.) Raven is extraordinary, whether she's a Faunus, a human or a hybrid. But I'm wondering where the race of Faunus comes from in the beginning. They're pretty much as human as humans. Are they mutated humans? If so, what caused the mutation? It would be worth knowing both for Raven's and Qrow's genetic material and how and when the Faunus characteristics appear. Is Yang going to sprout feathers in her little golden dragon hair any time soon, like when she hits eighteen?
