Everyone knows at this point about Blake's bow and how it twitched in episode 8.

In the Youtube version, the mistakes in the episodes are fixed but Blake's bow still twitched when Ruby was falling AND a few seconds before Nora appeared on the Ursa.

My guess is that she IS fauna, her song "From Shadows" really supports this theory.

"From shadows, w'e'll reclaim our destiny, s'et our future free" This sounds like a Fauna trying to prove to the world that her life is as valuable as any other.

"Born with no life... into subjugation, treated like a worthless animal" This part is sung by a man, that's a clear reference to Adam. This is the first song in RWBY with William actually singing. It tell us that being born as a Fauna is the same as being born as a slave, your life is worth the same as any other animal at the eyes of a human: spendable.

"Stripped of all rights, just a lesser being, crushed by cruel ruthless human rule" This part is sung by Casey. We are back with Blake who tell us exactly the same thing: A Fauna is not considered human so they have no rights, no freedom. And mankind is crushing them just for being different. That's a big cliche, in almost every series, movie, book, etc: Mankind is always scared of things they don't understand so they make sure it won't be a threat, even if they have to erase all kind of freedom for it.

"When it started, a'll we wanted was a chance to live our lives, now in darkness, t'aking everything we want and we will rise"  This is the last part of the song and it's using plural, so it's almost obvious that this talks about Blake and Adam. I'm sure they tried... they really tried to live a normal life but mankind would never accept them. At some point, something happened, they lost something very precious (death is always the trigger for the bad guys and anti-heroes, it shows them how the real world is and turns them into beasts demanding for justice) and then they decided they had enough of their lives as worthless animals so they decided stand up and face the world. They became criminals who fighted for their rights and for the survival of their people.

But just like it was showed in the trailer. At the end, Blake decided to do the right thing so she betrayed even her own people because she didn't want to be stained with the blood of innocents. If she's at Beacon... I don't think she's doing it in order to become a hero who slain monsters, maybe she's on some kind of covert mission.
