A headcannon of someone I know is that speed isn't Ruby's real semblance, but she copies Qrow's.

-She keeps a tray on her feet during the food fight, stated by Monty to be foreshadowing. Polarity is Pyrrha's semblance.

-Ozpin brought attention to Ruby's eyes being silver. Eyes are deemed the window of the soul and silver is the colour of a mirror.

-When discussing Ruby and Adam's emblems, Monty refers to them as 'Scatter and Wilt' respectively, flowers that will bear fruit scatter their petals whereas ones that don't wilt.

-With this in mind, the colour red and the scythe are both references to Autumn.

-Qrow can fight toe-to-toe with Winter while drunk. Alcohol slows down your perception and metabolism. Yang's Semblance is not tied to fire. Fire is just a side effect of the energy she's releasing when she uses her Semblance.

Also, Ruby is not related to Qrow, at all. Qrow is Yang's uncle because he's Raven's brother, and Raven is Yang's biological mother. So, Qrow is like... a step-uncle for Ruby, per se.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to insinuate about Ruby's Semblance, but I'm guessing you're trying to say her Semblance is copying other people's Semblances or something? If so, she would need to be around the person whose Semblance she's copying, but she is able to use her speed no matter where she is or who she's around. I'm pretty sure her Semblance is speed.
