I'm pretty sure that Yang and Ruby are half-sisters on their father's side, (that's supposed to mean that they have the same father but different mothers, if there was any confusion)''. ''Because, Yang is the daughter of Taiyang Xiao Long and Raven Branwen, who left shortly after Yang was born, probably to go rule her 'tribe of bandits' back in Mistrail. But Ruby is the daugter of Taiyang Xiao Long and Summer Rose. (If you need aditional info on these people, it can be found under 'Team STRQ'.)

Now why Yang got her dad's surname but Ruby got her mom's surname, I havn't a clue.

Okay, reasons to back up this assumption: (and yes, Definate SPOILERS) In, I think the end episode of volume 3, (and possibly other episodes) when Ruby is talking to Summer's grave, she calls her 'mom', and it seems to me that that is pretty strong evidince to support the whole 'Summer is Ruby's mom thing'. Also, Ruby's Silver Eye powers appear to be a hereditary trait passed down from Summer, who also had Silver eyes.

Now for Yang. First reason is that Qrow is her uncle, and as Qrow is Raven's brother, it is highly likely that Raven is Yang's mom. (BTW, Qrow is Ruby's 'honorary uncle', as in, he's not blood related to her, but she still calls him uncle.) Also, in 'Destiny', Qrow rebukes Raven for being a hypocrite after she says that he 'left his family' (The tribe of bandits who raised them both.), while ignoring her daughter, Yang. (He actually says 'ignoring your daughter on Patch', which is an island where Yang was at the time.)

So, that is my, well 'two bits' hardly covers it, but this is my addition to the conversation.
