Also, "Change" development doesn't always have a character change for the better. They can also change for the worse.

And Raven being her mom is pretty highly likely. I'd personally say a little more than just 50/50, especially considering Qrow's last name is most likely Branwen. Touche.

I do agree that Raven is likely her mom, and that the reason why I said 50/50 was because there's a part of me that feel like that last scene was a dream and that Yang is projecting her face onto the mysterious woman, thinking that it's her mother. As I said earlier, Raven strikes me as someone who will be a stranger to Yang because she has been absent in Yang's life for 17 years. To me, she hasn't been a mom to her. Why is she showing up now? Why did she leave in the first place? We're not sure if it was because of mission.

To add more to character development in the "expand" section:

Nora: She's not just a hyper active girl. She not only appears to like Ren but she has shown to be thoughtful and give advice to those who need it ("Practice what you preach, Pyrrah")

Pyrrah: Beneath her awesomeness is a girl who is shy and yearns to have people treat her like a normal person instead of a godess. This is what attracted her to Juane in the first place.

Neptune: It sounds like he's insecure about himself and that being a ladies-man is a defence mechanism.
