Ruby's eye color is completely unimportant, save that it connects her to her mother. And if everyone on the team has a random superpower, one of the first orders of business would be to figure out how those interact. Consider the combination attacks; they've figured out how to synergize the team, and part of that is using semblances to best effect, which requires them to know what they are. They have to have known. just as Jaune has to have known of aura. Personal history is completely different. That comes out over time, but a combat team not being familiar with each other's specialties, or a prospective Hunter not having heard of what sets the profession apart from everyone else? That destroys suspension of disbelief. When it comes down to making a setting make sense or slavish devotion to a minor nonsensical detail with no plot relevance or importance beyond informing the audience, I know which route to take, every time.
