The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: Did they say she left right after Yang was born? I think there was a little leeway to allow for Yang to not remember her mother. Even a few months between birth and leaving is sufficient. By the way, I am not suggesting she left to go into combat, but for some other reason connected to the conflict. I mean it does seem like, if Raven is a Faunus, that she is one who can "pass" for human. Perhaps she was afraid of what would happen to Yang if she stayed around during that conflict and stayed away after the conflict for similar reasons. Yang was 2 when Ruby was born, so likely Raven left a little after she gave birth to Yang, and Taiyang moved on to Summer a while after.

I also doubt she would of been concerned about that =-= (the faunus thing you're suggesting), she likely just left.
