Well, the Bleach-verse backstory is something like this: she is from one of the 70+ districts, her parents sell her off to the Pleasure Quarters where they train her to be a courtesan, she runs away killing her boss during a hollow attack, joins the 5th division and then eventually transfer to the 11th. So she is well educated and well manered but she also knows the toughest parts of the Soul Society and is really at home with the brawlers of the 11th.

For the RWBY verse I was thinking something like maybe she is the illegitimate daughter of a military guy of whom her mother was the lover. And she grows up in a lower social class and at the same time her father, gave her money to ensure she lived a comfortable life and was educated but he also kept a distance and didn't openly associate himself with her or recognise her as his own in paper.

Her mother pushes her into combat school. And forcebully removes her horns to get her into higher social circles and have her attend the Atlesian Hunting Academy (that I assume has links to the military) but Akane instead flips it and runs away to Vacuo.
