I have three half sisters (not step sisters). Being half sisters mean they are still blood related but with one different parents.

So my theory is that the father and Yang mother had Yang at some point. I am not going to assume what happen but for some reason the father and Summer Rose had Ruby. AT some point in the future Summer Rose dies and the father took Ruby back to Yang mother (for whatever reason). That is when Yang and Ruby became so close but Ruby still suffer from the effects of her true mother death.

As I said, I am not going to bother with the reasons, there can be dozens of reasons for everything. I do not beleive this theory is actully true but I posted it to maybe add some new ideas and blood to the Yang and Ruby relationship. Monty said they are blood related, but that dosnt mean they are fully. That's almost exactly what I said, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with this idea.

...Seriously, it's the most logical idea in my eyes. Half-sisters explains why the emphasis on the dad, and not either mother - the mother isn't a shared figure. The way I see it, Yang was born either out of wedlock to another woman, or to someone her father divorced. Then Summer comes into it (I'm sticking by the assumption Summer is Ruby's mother), they get married, have Ruby. Then she dies, and both girls are raised by the shared parental figure.

However, we also forget Qrow. Ruby refers to him as Uncle, while Yang never mentions him. As such, it hints that he is related to Ruby, not Yang. It's possible that Qrow could have raised Ruby in the event that her mother died, if her father couldn't raise both girls. This could also explain the drastic differences in personality, attire and fighting style - Ruby was trained by Qrow, Yang by her father.
