Seriously, most people don't say "Our parents", they just say "My parents". Just like they don't say "Our dad" or "Our mom", they say "My dad" or "My mom".

2. I think Ruby was told one day, years before Vol.1, and she just told RNJ at some point during their seasons-long journey. Why, I don't know, we never got anything as simple as them sitting in a camp and talking about the past. Maybe it just came up one day. 1. But they say that when only talking about themselves, whereas Ruby was talking about both herself and Yang. She had mentioned Yang right before then. "You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so" In that situation, it would still be easy to understand her if she said "Our parents taught us", rather than "My parents taught us".

2. Still seems reasonable that Yang told her at the end of the Yellow Trailer. Ruby asked "What're you doing here?", Yang went "*Sigh* It's a long story", and it faded to black. The Yellow Trailer takes place just a while before Volume 1, considering Roman was there hiring henchmen from Junior, and those henchmen were the ones helping him rob Dust shops. So, Ruby probably found out within a year before Volume 1, not years ago.
