@Rrmcklin You say there's no development, but in truth every little thing can be development, if you can only connect the pieces (those that don't connect, keep in your mind when any new piece of information is presented). That doesn't apply to everyone's opinions of course, but for some every bit starts fleshing out a character - and even then, sometimes you can care about a character without any development period, even if they're unlikeable to everyone else.

But anyway, for one reason or another she and Taiyang had Yang, and then she left. At one point she became leader of a tribe, and perhaps always had her 'strong survive' mentality - and yet despite her twin deserting them, the worst she throws at Qrow is barbed words. Considering her character, that means that she has 'some' measure of normal family values, or otherwise she probably would've tried to kill Qrow. And as twisted as the value is, she specifically stated she saved Yang, as if she sees that as evidence enough that she cares... not in a good way, obviously, but she still believes it in some fashion

^From a few facts + one conversation, theories and possible motivations are born, among other things. Not all are immediately provable, but they shape people's opinions nonetheless, and that's equally valid to go on. If/when facts prove or disprove those, then they're adjusted, but until then it's a fairly good bridge to speculate until all the facts arrive
