We HAVE been seeing character development from Yang

I see two types of character development. You have the type where they expand on a character to make them a little more fleshed out (their likes, dislikes etc) in which they may or may not lead to a character arc, while the other type is that they go thorugh a change for the better. For example Weiss has gotten developement that has made her a better person than she was back in Vol 1.

Yang is in the "expand" character development. We learn that her background revolves around her missing mom and how she is determined to find her. Other than that she's still the same as she is in Vol 1. Depending on how important her mother is to her it may be a key to what can lead to a potential character arc. How do we know Raven is her mom (it's still 50/50 right now)? With her back in the picture is there chance that Yang could become obessed again and make poor decisions like she did as a child. If Raven is her mom will she be everything Yang dreamed (this is speculation) of or will that shatter when she discovers what she truly is like? Summer Rose may not have been her mother by blood but she was in Yang's life before she disappeared.

The only one who hasn't gotten in any development is Ruby in Vol 2. With Ironwood in charge I see her getting development by learning that while others may have the same goal as you in protecting the world, their methods and idelogy will be different from yours.
