Did anyone notice the mystery lady's EYES???

First of all, they're red with black.

Second of all, you can see her blink at least twice. Her eyelids are white.

Granted, the characters in RWBY have all sorts of eye colors, but isn't this the first time we've seen anyone with red eyes? Look at all the pictures for Grimm. They ALL have red eyes. That's a pretty good hint that our mystery lady is a Grimm.

Next, look at how she moves. Her body language resembles Yang's. It exudes the same sort of confidence and determination as Yang's. Watch her attacks. Watch how she sets herself. Watch how she does not waste time with minor attacks. She fights like Yang, but with a sword and greater power. Watch how she looks at Neo and Yang. While Yang may portray herself as a free spirit, she has some of the strongest beliefs and self-confidence out of the entire team. In fact, it's Yang who has the maternal instinct out of the four. She takes care of Ruby. She takes care of Blake. She teams up with Weiss to plan the dance. And yet if we carefully watch the scene with our new mystery lady, we can see via her actions that she possesses many of these same traits that Yang has.

I'm pretty sure that was Yang's mom. Furthermore, I don't think she's a Faunus -- not with that mask and those red eyes. As of yet, we've seen none of the White Fang wear a mask anything like that -- a mask that covers the WHOLE face, including the chin.

Maybe there's a Bleach overtone here somewhat akin to the Hollow. Maybe Yang's mom is a bit like an Espada. Adjuchas develop from a sense of individuality, a desire to retain identity. Hollows develop into Adjuchas by devouring other Hollows. In a manner of speaking, they absorb the flesh and power of other Hollow in an attempt to reclaim or rebuild their own soul. Maybe that's why Grimm attack humans -- a primal desire to gain a soul. Maybe that's why they feed even though they don't have to. Because they hope by absorbing enough power from humans they may eventually form their own souls, allowing them to evolve. Being drawn to negative emotions is merely a hunter's instinct, seeking the weakest and most vulnerable prey. That's primal and animalistic. But as they evolve, as they grow wiser, live longer, the Grimm may slowly adopt human traits. First in thought, but maybe eventually even in form, just like the Arrancar in Bleach.

It's not that human-like Grimm do not exist, but perhaps rather that they may be so few because of how many thousands of years it requires to evolve to that point. As a result, there may only be 2 or 3 human-like Grimm in all of Remnant. Yang's mom could be one of them. Qrow could be another. And if that turns out to be fact, it could explain a lot about the "mistakes" Ozpin has referred to in his past numerous times. Yang's mom could be one of those mistakes, just as Summer Rose might be another. In fact, Summer Rose might have died trying to stop Yang's mom. That might be why Qrow took such an interest in RWBY and Yang, and maybe even why he was miraculously nearby to save the two from Grimm when they were children.

And Qrow's message that "The Queen has pawns"? Maybe Yang's mom is the Black Queen. Maybe Qrow keeps track of his sister because he is the only one who can. And maybe this is why Taiyang had to leave Signal Academy for awhile -- because Qrow sensed that his sister was up to something, leaving Taiyang and Qrow to figure out what was going on.
