Ok so there's been the big talk about the Mysterious woman who appeared in the last episode and the almost likely fact that she is Yang's mother. However one of the more common discussions is that many believe that the woman might be a Faunus (A bird Faunus to be specific) and that this would mean that Yang is a half breed. I didn't really believe this much until somewhere in the discusions someone mentioned the Phoenix which would in fact make sense if you really look deeper into it. So heres my evidence for the idea that Yang might have Faunus blood in here veins, specifically the Pheonix.

The Womans Feathers- First we go to the more discussed part of the mysterious woman that being her "hair". Many belive that her hair is in fact feathers and are a trait of her Faunus heritage. I personally see this as the weakest evidence I mean it could be her hair is just really messy or it could be a decorative part of her mask.

Yangs Semblance- If you really look at Yang's semblance it bears some simililarity to the Phoenix legend. She takes her hits until it looks like she's done and then she bounces back not only stronger but with her hair on fire and her body glowing. This in a way matches the life cycle of the Phoenix which when it dies it rises from the Ashes in a fantastic display of fire being young and strong once again.

Yangs hair- Another thing Yang has in common with the pheonix is how they value hair or feathers. Some enterpretations have the Phoenix greatly valueing its feathers and becoming angered if they disturbed. Yang of course will destroy a club or send Ursa's flying across a whole forest if something happens to her hair.

Well there my opinion. If you have opinions why this may or may not be right let me know in the comments.
