In Remnant, Ruby grew up surrounded by bandits. Her mother Summer Rose, The renowned Huntress and member of Team STRQ fell in love with her teammate Qrow Branwen. The unholy bad luck charm himself. The two didn't always see eye to eye at first, but gradually got closer as the years in Beacon Academy went on. Qrow being the silent yet mischief troublemaker that he was, and Summer being the shy yet kind leader. When they say opposites attract, they weren't kidding. After the years of being on a team together and graduation the two fell in love. Sure they went on a few occasional hunts every now and then but after some time, both decided to settle down.
Summer found out she was pregnant with a child, Qrow seemed rather ecstatic that soon he would be starting a family much like his friend and his sister from team STRQ. Up until recent after hearing the news, Qrow had started his own little tribe much like his twin sister. He had gathered men and women from around the small areas of the outskirts of Vale and from there everything was set. Summer was hesitant at first on joining him, but for the baby's sake went with it. Soon after a few months had gone by with no complications. The child was soon born on a cold October's day. The Childe came out with beautiful silver eyes just like her mother, yet something was very off about the child. Two ears wiggled on the top of her head and it was soon to be found out that the child was actually a faunus. Summer had a secret that she held onto for so long and didn't want to let Qrow know about until now.
She was also a faunus. But it was due to a concealment that Ozpin had placed upon her to look human, to look… normal. She never told Qrow or her team, none of them knew. But now it was out in the open. Qrow was shocked at first Ozpin had his secrets but.. he never knew that the man could do something like that, then again he was able to turn into a bird. Having that little secret now out in the open made him sigh heavily in content. Knowing that Summer wasn't in any way cheating on him made the man happy that this secret wasn't a big deal. He was glad though that he now had a daughter to look after. When he announced to the tribe that Summer had given birth to a baby girl everyone was ecstatic. After the years went by and more missions came about from Ozpin, Ruby grew up in the way of the bandits and the tribe. Learning fighting techniques and more hand to hand combat. But one day around 7 years old, Summer went off to do recon for Ozpin and never returned.
Qrow was devastated, knowing the love of his life went MIA. He blamed himself and the man who had sent her on that dangerous path, Ruby had spiraled as well, not having her mother by her side had caused the girl to change drastically. She was ruthless. Her father went off on missions to find out what had happened to Summer, leaving Ruby to the hands of the people in the tribe. She was in charge for the time being. Somewhat resentful of her old man, and her mother, she knew she couldn't do anything. After having her semblance unlocked, Ruby told the tribe that she would be enlisting at Signal. Everyone was hesitant but understood why. So they kept training her, once she entered Signal it was there that she went up in grades, people calling her a prodigy for her talent in combat. Ozpin had taken a liking to her and asked if she wouldn't mind attending beacon at an early age.
