So, during episode 1, Roman calls Ruby "Red".

Now, I never gave this too much thought because she had not introduced herself to him and he says it on a rather contemptuous mode. I just assumed it was nickname coming from her read cloak.

Now, today, coming I was on the bus listening to the soundtrack and a thought occurred to me:

"Red Like Roses Part II" is supposed to be a sort of dialogue between Ruby her deceased mother, who we assume was called Summer Rose because of the words craved on the tomb stone of the Red Trailer ["Summer Rose - Thus Kindly I Scatter"]

Then, in the lyrics of Red Like Roses Part II it says:

"The petals scatter now."

Which I think is a reference to the words in the tomb stone.

Also, during episode one, Ozpin makes a remark about Ruby's eyes being silver, which I have seen some speculate it might be Ozpin recognizing Ruby's relationship to either Qrow but maybe even Summer Rose.

So, what I say is, what if "Red" was a nickname of Summer Rose because when she was alive she too wore a red cloak? Hence, why at the peak of intensity of "Red Like Roses Part II" Ruby exclaims:

"It’s your blood that’s red like roses."

I mean, yes, the figure that appears in front of Ruby during Volume 1's opening "White Cloak" who some speculate is the spirit or ghost of Summer Rose, is wearing a white cloak but the inside of it is red.

So, when Ruby looked at Roman after sending his henchmen flying during the fight at the Dust Shop of Episode 1, he could have recognised her as Summer's daughter?
