I think that the person Yang was following (whose picture is The Transient Princess) will turn out to be a significant figure on the Dark Side of this story. It may be a picture of Crimson from earlier and better times or it might be The Big Bad. The fact that Yang was pursuing her, despite having not even started Beacon yet, suggests to me that whoever she is is an important public figure and is considered above suspicion so the police aren't following up the tantalising hints Yang uncovered.

Yang, motivated by the "helping people" thing inculcated into her by her parents, is thus attempting to find unequivocal evidence on her own so this woman can be brought to justice. This may eventually lead to the first contact between the whole team and Crimson.
