I was gonna call her Crimson but Vermilion works to. Personally I think the necklaces were a last-minute aesthetic change so that's why a necklace a lot like Neo's was on her. They didn't have time to render her a proper one.

As for her identity, I'm pretty sure it's Yang's mother as well. Both Jeff and Monty stated Summer is dead, she seemed to show up just as Yang needed her most, her buttcape is in the same style as Yang's, she looks like the image Yang showed Junior, and she has red eyes.

It also can't be ignored though, that her style of fighting looks similar to Adams. Weaponized sheathes and a red blade... perhaps she was Adam's mentor. Monty also stated that we've already been introduced to a character who is half-faunus, so if Vermilion is both Yang's mother and a faunus that would make Yang fit that category.
