Ruby is the type that would have gone anyways if it's what she has always wanted to do, and that's been said she has. And I doubt that. Summer died when Ruby was 1-2 years old, at most 3. So she really hasn't been part of Ruby's life, and thus has never been able to influence her in anything.

So, for all we know, it's perfectly likely that if Summer was there still alive, if only for some years, then she may have convinced Ruby not to become a Huntress, or at least to not go down her path, if Summer really wanted that. I kinda think that Ruby was older than that when Summer died. In Round One, she talks to Summer's gravestone as if she remembers her. She even says that she misses her. If she didn't remember Summer at all, why would she even bother visiting her gravestone once in a while to talk to her all about what's been going on in her life, and why would she tell it she misses her? You don't start being able to keep your memories until around 3 or 4 years old.

That, and Ruby looks older than that in the flashback concept art. Yang's flashback may have taken place not too long after Summer's death/disappearance. She looks maybe 4 or 5.
