^She may be implying that while mankind has allowed their history to dissolve into legends, everything is this world (humans, faunus, Grimm, and whatever she is) is remnant of that forgotten past.

My theory is that she is the first Grimm, and is the sole member of a humanoid type of Grimm. Due to her humanoid appearance, humans were less willing to destroy her, and so she lived long enough to gain intelligence, and later, dominance over the other Grimm. While other Grimm may be stronger or more powerful, she makes up for it with an insurmountable intelligence.
