Isn't that story suggesting adoption? Well we know the canon isn't that... It's probably that the duo share a father and Ruby's mother was killed in a beowolf/WF/criminal attack that may have left Ruby with a scar (possibly on her leg somewhere? She always has them covered up after all...) and that she was then taken in by Yang's father. How deep that influences their personality I'd have no idea but I think this may be pretty spot ignoring any possible allusions to the two not actually being related.

@Raven Don't forget that we've only had two hours of footage to develop a cast of 12 main characters (RWBY, JNPR, Cinder, Roman, Glynda and Ozpin). That's only four episodes worth of usual length anime content.
