I think it might be, since it was confirmed Ruby's mother is dead- Monty said it on the RWBY panel yesterday or the day before- and it was also confirmed that Ruby and Yang are blood-related, that Ruby was taken in by closer family, like her cousin(s)/aunt/uncle, under the pretext of her being adopted into the family.

I may be completely incorrect, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
