Which seems impossible given she apparently arrived to save Yang... what then are we left with..? "miracle stranger"

There's pretty much only thing I'm personally certain of. Her name is Yue. Someone (was it BenRG?) suggested that was a nom rather than her real name. It makes sense to me. I had previously suggested Yang's mom would be named Yue.

The fact Ver has red highlights also led me to the assumption that she and Summer Rose are related (if she isn't, in fact, Summer Rose) due to the fact given Ruby, Summer Rose must also have red highlights. Qrow also seems to share this trait going off of Burning the Candle (unless it was just a random art decision), which implies Team Qrow breaks the record for most siblings on a team.

I've said before that if Ver is Summer Rose, then it's a poor writing decision. You don't give the main character a deceased relative only to reveal they are alive in the first season of the show. That kind of thing is usually reserved for the second or third season. First season reveals are usually saved for relatives of side characters. We should learn what became of Yang's mom before we learn Summer Rose is alive. Of course, I suppose if RT is being stupid and treating each volume simultaneously as a "volume/season", then this would be the end of the second "season".

And no, it doesn't matter that Ver is unconfirmed as anyone's mother. It doesn't matter that we may have to wait several more volumes to learn her identity or even see her again. The fact is, that if Ver, at any point, is revealed to be Summer Rose, then, having originally seen her in this past episode, Summer was revealed to be alive too soon (from a literature standpoint).
