Jaune and Ruby are both adopted; the big mid-show shock reveal is that they're brother and sister, seperated after the Grim attack that destroyed their village. Whilst Ruby is the Chosen One, Jaune is the backup and for that reason Ozpin and Crow considered it prudent to have them raised seperately.

This, of course, turns JauneXRuby straight into IncestYay! or IncestSquick! territory, plus, if there had been any romantic tension, glorious angst and horror from both when the truth comes out.

RUBY: I can't do it, sir! I can't kill my own mother!

OZPIN: Then the Grim have already won; you were our last hope!

RUBY: Crow spoke of 'another'?

OZPIN: The other he spoke of was your older brother.

RUBY: But I don't have...

OZPIN: You were seperated to be raised by different families after your village was destroyed. Crow and I knew, just as Crimson knows, that any children of Summer Rose would be a threat to the return of the Grim; seperating you would make it harder to track you down. It is for this reason that your brother remains... safely anonymous.

RUBY suddenly has an 'OMFG' expression on her face.

RUBY: Jaune! Jaune's my brother!

OZPIN: Your insight does you credit. Bury your feelings down deep, Ruby. They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Grim! This is both the best and worst plot twist ever. Of all time.
