I think the distant cousins thing could work out, though you must remember that if they carry the Schnee name or use the Schnee symbol, they will automatically come under fire from the White Fang, no matter how distant the relation simply because the White Fang associate anything Schnee with the problems the Faunus are having (or at least, that is the impression I get).

As for distant cousin with a half-brother/sister weapon to Myrtenaster...ehh, that's a bit too similar. But then again, Russel has his daggers which have a similar function. Perhaps if you went with either a rapier that does something other than Myrtenaster's dust function, or some other weapon that requires a completely different fighting style with Myrtenaster's dust function, it would work (and now I am imagining a halberd with the dust function that collapses to become an axe....)
