"Burning the Candle" definitely gave insight on Yang's past. A good portion of the episode was a story about when she was young and found out about her mother. We might not have seen its importance yet, but her search for her mother is an important part of her character. If it wasn't important it wouldn't be part of her character at all.

For all we know, Yang is a thrill seeker because she almost got herself and Ruby killed when they were younger, so now she's trying to enjoy life as much as she can.

We also know that Yang acts as a mother figure for Ruby as well as a sister, which shows that Yang is more than just a thrill seeker.
