Or it was the "best friend turned worst enemy" stereotype. If that was the case, it could be Glynda and Crimson were on the same team, but something terrible happened to drive Crimson into insanity and she killed someone that Glynda was close to. We still don't know if Crimson's insane or not. She's DEFINITELY evil, but maybe she has cause. Crimson may not even be related to Glynda in any way.

Am I the only one to notice that she created Dust attacks out of thin air? Weiss has a sword and Glynda had a cane, but Crimson could just wave her hand. Does that say anything to anyone? My theory was Summer was her friend (sort of like Yang was) but she went insane and ended up killing Summer Rose in a moment of madness. It's really hard to think of Crimson as insane. Maybe possessed/mind-controlled or willingly helping the Grim, but not crazy. She seems way too composed during her fight with Glynda. If she was a bit nuts, she would've attacked relentlessly, possibly blowing up the entire roof of the building Ruby and Glynda was in. However, she coordinated her attack properly, specifically aiming to hit both of them, instead of outright nuking them, which would have saved some time, if she really is that powerful.

Meaning she knows what she's doing, and isn't just out for blood. I don't mean insane as in stark-raving mad, I mean dilusioned for a very weird reason. Like on a mission, she may have heard the Grim in her head, and ended up doing as they say and justifieing it with the "torment" they may have caused to the world. She still has her mind, she just lost a bit of herself.
