Unrelated to the discussion so far, but a stable teory : her brother is Adam.

1. Anime clichee: all characters are somehow related. So far, Blake is the only one in Rwby who's not related to the others and we also don't know anything about her family/past life companions except for him.

2. Grimm mask. No further explanation needed.

3. If Raven was a Faunus, then it would be reasonable for her to run away after having children, one of which is a Human and the other a Faunus.

4. Semblance: transforming physical damage into power and reflecting damage back are technically the same thing, just with different styles.

5. Both of them are kinda hot-headed (3/7. He IS hot-headed.), and, given her uncle's quote, Raven seemed to be so as well.

6. It'll make for one hell of a good story.
