I can't cosign to the idea that Ruby is knowledgeable, just for the pure fact that Yang wasn't knowledgeable. Yang had to discover the truth about her mother by circumventing her father and uncle.

The issue of a difference of last name is trivial when you consider that both sisters have the lst names of the known parents. It's not that Ruby is Ruby Rose and Yang is Yang Branwen. Something like that would probably raise more questions than theirgiven name since their parents, from ruby and Yang's perspective for a good deal of their lives (at least 4-5 for yang) were Taiyang Xio Long and Summer Rose. The source of the last names are easy to identify and they could probably chalk it up to them each taking a particular parent's last name.
