In my opinion, Summer is probably Ruby's ancestor. Considering Ruby already has an uncle, and this ghostly figure for an ancestor, I think its fair to assume that Yang is adopted into Ruby's family. If Ruby's family are from a line of scythe weilders, then maybe Ember Cecelia is at least inspired (or perhaps handed down) By something from Yang's own history or family, explaining the vastly different styles of combat.

Perhaps Summer was the greatest Scythe weilder ever, and she and her brother Crow were hunters together, but Summer was somehow killed by either Grim or maybe even Crimson. This sets up for Crimson to be the big bad villain she's hyped up to be, as well as a personal relationship between Crimson and Ruby. Actually, just because Ruby has an uncle, it doesn't nesscessarily mean that he's her guardian, he probably couldn't find a way to raise the small infant himself so he gave her to family friends, the Xiao-Longs with their 2 year old daughter Yang. And yes, the Rose clan was probably a long anscestral scythe wielding force in the world.
