TaiYang and Ruby share exactly zero traits. Zero traits. When Summer disappeared did TaiYang decide to avoid Ruby for the rest of her life? She has none of TaiYang's hand-to-hand capability, none of his pun humor, doesn't look even a little bit like him, doesn't share any of his color-scheme. Nothing. Did Ruby even grow up in TaiYang's household?

And yet, Ruby looks like a smaller, female version of Qrow. They share color schemes, weapons, capes, facial structures, humor, ethics. They completely adore one another. And the way that Qrow dismissed TaiYang from Ruby's bedroom gave the impression that TaiYang referred to Qrow because Qrow is the "real"/real father. We don't know much of anything about Summer, but Ruby seems to have every Qrow trait, except the silver eyes from Summer and a, thankfully, different semblence from Qrow.

And about Qrow's bad luck in semblences: His bad luck semblence means that if he spent too much time with Ruby, she'd probably have died, by now, from any number of accidents that happen to children, and enhanced by Qrow's bad luck. Raven made the choice to be a raven-mother to Yang, but her twin, Qrow, would not have that choice: Qrow would HAVE to be a "raven-father" (is that a real as Rabenmutter is?) or else Ruby wouldn't survive her childhood. I kind of like the duality of this parenting with the Branwen twins.

And why does it have to "add to the story"? It's just consistency in world building. RT should just go with it. All of the foundational logic for Qrow's fatherhood is already written in.
