I have a few theories. 1. Summer Rose as Ruby and Yang's mother, the two of them being half sisters. Yang took he father's name. In this theory, Ruby is Ozpin's daughter. Notice he immediately commented on Ruby's silver eyes? Maybe that was a gene Summer passed on to Ruby and Ozpin found it unmistakably familiar. This could also be why he wanted Ruby to attend Beacon and made her team leader. So I'm guessing a bit of favoritism in that aspect.

2. Summer's yet to pass on. What if Yang is a custom name? What if her real name is Summer Rose? Red Like Roses Part 2, the second half is from Summer's perspective, so somewhere along the line, Yang dies, leaving Ruby all alone. It is affirmed in Gold, which seriously, it's kinda obvious it's from Yang's perspective, we see the sisters value each other very much. Yang promises to keep Ruby safe, to stay by her side according to lyrics, so it is possible Ruby in Red Like Roses Part 1 and 2 is Ruby grieving her sister, who I believe is probably her best friend. The first song is Ruby's depression of her loss, and the second song is a mixture of anger and then telling how much she loved Yang (Maybe and a bit stubbornness because I believe Weiss and Blake would try to comfort Ruby after such a loss) saying nothing can possibly replace Yang.
