Among Huntsmen half siblings using different last names may not considered that unusual. We are looking at a profession that is hazardous at best. It is probably common for the children of Huntsmen to lose at least one parent before they reach adolescence let alone adulthood. That dos not even count them having a more open view on relationships. It may be considered either rude or unhealthy to ask why siblings like Yang and Ruby have different last names.





Huntsmen have existed as a social class for a long time. They would have long since developed their own ways of dealing with pregnancy and the resulting children. Huntsmen I would suspect have a policy of looking out for their own even with out any government help. I believe that only a small percentage of them are the ones that go out on missions. The rest are the resident Huntsmen in the various small communities across Remnant. It would also not unreasonable to conclude that most lower combat schools like Signal also offer boarding for older children. I believe that fostering/adoption of orphans of Huntsmen by other Huntsmen that have settled down may also be common as again the mortality rate of Huntsmen is likely to be severe compared to other dangerous jobs in Remnant. So who you consider your brothers and sisters may include individuals who have no blood relationship with you. It may also be common for other orphans to be placed with Huntsmen families as that is where at the least they can learn an honorable profession.
