I am not trying to be mean. This is the speculation board and thus open to speculation, but it is also for discussion so your speculation is also going to be discussed. As it stands, Ruby's speed is explicitly noted by Pyrrha in Forever Fall to be Ruby's Semblance. Her skills with Crescent Rose are also noted to be a product of advice from Qrow, a master scythe-wielder. All indications are that she is human, though I do understand your confusion. For a while there was a lot of talk here about the nature of their abilities until Aura and Semblance were revealed.
