Actually it's possible she hid her horns with a hood similar to Blake to have an easier time leading Vacuo. Pretty much like MetallicArcher said, it seems that Vacuo is the absolute most Faunus-friendly kingdom on the planet (unless you consider Menagerie to be a kingdom, but apparently, Menagerie isn't invited to the club).

Tukson was going to flee there, Sun grew up there and didn't even know the White Fang's history (there could've been less WF presence there in his childhood since there wasn't so much discrimination to protest against), and Qrow said that Vacuo's culture has an attitude of "If you can survive here, you're welcome here" and they don't really care who or what you are. So, Vacuo probably didn't really care that the figurehead that was organizing them was a Faunus, just that she was strong and knew how to organize them for war.
