My gut feeling is that Cinder's mother and the Schnee girls' mother (for whom Winter is named) were Huntresses and on Summer's team with a fourth Huntress whose name refers to spring in some way.

They all died on an ill-fated final mission that Ozpin arranged by highly unofficial means (one of the many mistakes he has made). Ruby intends to honour her mother's sacrifice by becoming a great Huntress. Cinder just wants to get even.

How do we work in the age differences? If Summer had Ruby relatively late in life (say in her early-30s) then that would allow for Cinder's mother to have had Cinder about 5 or so years earlier and still be the same age as Summer and Winter Snr.

I still say it would be cool if Cinder at some point is shown complaining (either to Emerald, who is possibly her baby sister surrogate or to Neo who might be her age) that Ruby should have been part of her life, her real baby sister, and that this is another crime for which she blames Ozpin, Ironwood and civilisation in general.
