I just won't buy the sister route. Yang didn't even know she had a different mother from Summer until she died, and even then it was a while later before Taiyang revealed it to her. In the 'dream sequence' she visibly reacts to Raven's face immediately, and then turns to anger with her red eyes before any line about "we have a lot to talk about".

Clearly, she knows the person by their face, and is angered by who they are. If it was a sister she didn't know about, the reaction wouldn't make sense. Even for it to be her mother who she's supposedly never physically seen before it seems a little bit of a stretch unless Taiyang gave her a picture, or she found one on her own in her search.

Though I'm almost fully set with Raven being her mother, I sort of find it fun to think of her as Yang's 'rage' side that somehow broke free of her conscience and took physical form for a bit (weapon doesn't make sense). Who knows, maybe it's an old enemy that's repeatedly interfered with her search (facial similarities wouldn't make sense), or an Auntie Raven to balance Uncle Qrow. Oh wait... Aunt Raven who constantly interferes with her search for her mother!
