I wonder if all the Grimm are extensions of her will in the same manner? If so, then we really have to sit down and try to work out precisely what she is to have that sort of power over them. Well, there are several possibilities thinkable, it's just that they all lack evidence to support them.

1. She is the first Grimm made and has control over the others.

2. She uses a portion of her being when creating a Grimm Birthing pit, so all Grimm are technically her children and do what believe their mother would want.

3. She can't control all, just the Seer, the Seer's being extensions of herself.

4. She is brother of Darkness reincarnated as a woman while the Brother of Light is reincarnated as The Wizard/King of Vale/Ozpin/Oscar, the two having started their fued again or one faking making peace and the other realising it, and since she made them, can control them.

5. All Grimm are portions of herself that she can see through the eyes of, and physically control.
