However, there's a thing called "honorary uncle". Ruby doesn't care that Qrow isn't blood-related to her. She calls him her uncle anyway, and he returns the feeling by calling her his niece.

There are plenty of kids, teenagers, and even adults who refer to people who have no blood relation to them as family members because of the emotional bond that they share.
