I'm on the she's too young train, so my personal vote is that she's Yang's step sister. And if the Qrow Branwen thing is the case, then I would say that she's his daughter. Though I would speculate that she is older than Yang (just not by that much) So this other relationship (with Qrow or whoever) is why Yang's mom left.

The thing I don't like about this idea though, is that it adds a lot of inter team weirdness if Qrow would be her dad. and just team weirdness in general if She is older than Yang, because then her mom would have had to be pregnant prior.

My theory on that is that this all happened after being a part of a team together and they all went thier seperate ways.

On Your theory more specifically though, I don't think 2 is possible, She looks too much like Yang to not be related to her in some way. (though maybe that's a red harring)

If she is Yang's mom, and the Branwen thing is true, then I could see 1 being possible.

I totally feel you on the hiatus thing though. I got both Volumes for christmas and watched them and the commentaries and started looking more into stuff and have been on a RWBY craze since (Which is why I came here~) and theories pop up all the time, even when doing other stuff.

Heck, just when writing all this I started to ponder if maybe the reason Yang's mom left in the first place was because she was friends with Summer and she knew Summer liked Tai Yang (She probably had feelings for him too though) and maybe she felt bad for letting her own emotions lead to the path of Yang's conception, so she did the only thing she knew she could which was to leave (Doubting a little though cause she left Yang. but who knows)
