(And yes I am basing that off of the fact that Snape from Harry Potter went to Hogwarts then taught there)  But anyway, Ozpin made a point of noticing Ruby’s eyes. So my theory is that  Ozpin may have been on the same team as Summer Rose. As I will call team GLAS. (Glas is one of the Gaelic words for green.)

What I am saying is that Summer Rose is Ruby’s mother. It was never said Ruby was adopted by the Xiao Longs, which is just the most popular theory. In one line she says “MY parents taught US.” When she was telling Ozpin that about Yang going to Beacon and why she wanted to go. Note she doesn’t say Our parents she says  ‘my’ like she is an only child. I find this slightly odd that if she was adopted by the Xiao Longs that she, as I said, didn’t say our parents. And after the mention of our parents Ruby never said mom on her own. She only mentioned ‘Dad’. Of course any mention of a living ‘mom’ can blow my theory out of the water, unless the Ruby trailer was a dream or something of that sort.

 The reason Ozpin is so focused on Ruby’s eyes is that  either Ruby looks like Summer Rose but has her father’s eyes or vice versa. And if Summer Rose is dead maybe Ozpin knew something about it. As the intro and as Ozpin’s voice stated ‘a smaller, more honest soul.’ as it panned to Ruby, perhaps the world had been creeping closer to darkness for a while and Ozpin thought that Summer was the original hero-person, but that idea headed south once Summer died. And now here is Summer’s daughter just as innocent ‘if not more’ than her mother.

This could possibly explain Ozpin’s demeanor change. His old team mate’s daughters show up and one of them is almost just like her. That would throw anyone for a loop.

As Angren Ture mentioned. It is very unlikely that summer Rose is infact Ruby's mother, but Ozpin may have known Ruby's Mother.

I will edit this if I think of something that goes with this or someone makes a good point or completely smashes my theory. Credit to them. Any who, thoughts? And my apologys if someone else had this idea.



Monty said himself neither of the sisters are adopted, so that theory is destroyed. There is the possibility they are half-sisters but that would require either infidelity on someone's part or one of Yang's parents dying shortly after her birth and a very fast remarriage.
