The biggest hint that Raven might be a Faunus is the fact that when asked about a possible Faunus-human hybrid, Monty said we might have already seen one. If Raven is a Faunus then perhaps Yang is the hybrid we have already seen. Mind you, they made a similar statement when asked about second-year students and it turned out that Velvet was a second-year. So, when they say we may have already seen a Faunus-human hybrid then it probably means there is one among the cast at that time. Raven being Yang's mom and seemingly affiliated with the White Fang would be consistent with that theory.
