Possible, if Summer Rose is indeed a character. Though with the Ghostly Rose in the opening, that seems more likely.

Though if that's true, I'm curious why Ruby's "affection for Crescent Rose may be mild." Typically you see the orphan protecting or latching on to the things their parents left behind. It could be the "I didn't really know you" argument and/or "I want to surpass you" one.

For the first, if they died while she was really young, Ruby knows she should feel an attachment toward her dead parents, or just the mother if the father remarried, and she may be thankful toward them or respect them, but she just can't think of them as her parents. Yang is her sister and "Mom and Dad" are her parents, and while Ruby regrets she couldn't know her biological parents, she can't say she regrets being Yang's sister.

For the second, it could play off of the first, or Ruby wants to make Summer Rose proud by surpassing her. I'll come up with convincing support for it later.
