Also Summer's death does seem to emotionally plague Ruby a lot more than Yang which may explain the differecne in character between them. I think it's because Yang still remembers Summer as 'Supermom,' while it seems Ruby remembers the memory of Summer, if that makes sense. As such, I think the loss feels greater for her. Plus, it doesn't seem like Yang was given a lot of time to dwell, as she had to help take care of Ruby and sort of become her fill-in mom while Taiyang was coping.

It is a lot like Yang finding her mom now -- she doesn't know this woman, she doesn't remember her, but yet she still feels this void in her life from not knowing her and the reasons around her departure.
