A. She's an orphan and/or was raised in a communal society.

B. She comes from a fairly normal family, but is just something of a prodigy regardless (you know, those kinds of people)

C. Her family is actually dirt poor, and she fought her way to the top in order to support them in the future. I think there's actually a fourth one. D: comes from a family of warrior/ fighters/fighting instructors (or at least one of her parents is) who also trained her. this one is a reasonable theory as it a) provides a reason for her being a skilled warrior while being friendly and kind (i.e. her fighting abities came about as a family trade/ way of life rather than  her being affected by something to compell her to be a warrior) and b) it's somewhat similar to  theory B but it sets the stage for a furture pair of episodes involving jaune meeting her family and trying to impress them (and failing humourously), which, based on the tone, themes, and plots of the episodes so far, is a (minor) plot arc that would fit the series.
