User blog comment:ChishioKunrin/Grimm-mask Samurai Woman = Yang's Mother/@comment-24245869-20141025004311

Guess I'm going to be the guy who is against this theory. Monty said that the key to being related to some one in the RWBYverse was eye color. Red Ronin's (samurai with no master and who did not suicide as tradition) eyes are red, Yang's are lilac. "As she fights, her hair glows and catches fire and her eyes turn red as a side effect of her Semblance," I simply see Red Ronin as someone who knew Yang's mom and is playing guardian angle for her. Part of mama Xiao Long's dying wish, or favor while she is off dealing with other threats. Either way, I don't see Ronin as Yang's mom.
