That would make sense. I honestly never liked that theory, but I'm starting to see the merits of it. It also makes Ozpin look kind of terrible. Red Like Roses part II seems to suggests that Ruby did know her mother at some point before she died, but Ozpin never took her in or even addicted to the public he had a daughter. He could have been been paying to support her in secret, but he still left her mother raise her. he may have never told about it because he had to maintain his reputation or something. Or, there's the more twisted possibility, that it was all scheme to create the perfect "simple honest sole" that was needed to defeat the Gimm. the whole reason I'm kind of opposed to this theory is it makes Ozpin a manipulative jerk who messes with people's lives for a greater good. I just want him to be a cool guy who loves his coffee.
