It was explained that Ruby really looks up to Qrow, enough to take visual cues from him for her clothing style and copy his weapon with her own touch. Taiyang is her biological father, there's no contesting that, but Qrow is her idol and her hero, alongside her mum I would assume, and so she tries to emulate the both of them over emulating Taiyang.
