Interesting turnabout to what I hear around here. My only question would be why do a backstory like that? When you do a backstory to a character you always have to keep in mind that it's there for an actual reason.

Case in point the only backstories we know right now.

Weiss dislike of the white fang and Blake's defense of the same organisation. This part of the backstories was given to them with the express thought of having a conflict between them and that in turn gives us the backstory of the White Fang itself.

So I like your Idea of Ruby and Yang. Now tell why we need a backstory like that.
