And we know that Salem and Cinder have a thing about killing maidens (which you can think of as symbolic guardians or protectors of Humanity and the Faunus) right?

And we know how Summer has Silver Eyes right?

Okay, thinking back to "The 4 Maidens", it appears that the ball of magic above Winter is larger right? So if Salem and Cinder assume, believe, or know that the Winter Maiden is still in existence, they'd go after her right? I mean, taking on humanity? You'd want some serious manpower.

And hearing that the presumably stronger Winter is out there, Cinder would be sent to find her.

But it’s very likely that Summer WASN’T the Winter Maiden. She’s a SEW (Silver Eyed Warrior) and is still pretty strong regardless of maidenship or whatnot.

But if Cinder had NEVER heard about SEWs, she probably would’ve thought that Summer was Winter. And seeing that she’d probably, as a young and foolish youth, try to kill Summer. So let’s set up the situation.

Summer goes out on a Solo Mission to clear some Grimm from some area.

Cinder tracks her.

Summer is forced to freeze the Grimm, but using her ability probably tired her out. Cinder starts to fear that she’ll fail and Salem will punish her. This attracts more and more Grimm to the area. Finally, Summer starts feeling afraid. This is her undoing, forcing her to use her ability more and more as the Grimm continue to come. Eventually, Summer is pressed to the last bit of strength she has left.

At this point she’s thinking of her family, her daughter, House STRQ.

She’s suddenly saved, by Cinder. She’s thankful and happy, until Cinder kills her. To avoid suspicion of foul play, she rends Summer’s body in an imitation of a BeoWolf’s claws.

A few seconds later, Cinder realizes that something is wrong. She hasn’t become super powerful yet. Summer wasn’t the maiden. Cinder leaves the corpse. After that, she studies a bunch of legends and realizes that Summer wasn’t anything else but a SEW. Little does Cinder know, Summer had a daughter. Because all she did was stalk Summer in professional and mission environments. Salem decides that maybe Autumn would be easier to kill and find (because all you had to do really, was find the OZLUMINATI)

 So come RWBY’s first event. The dust shop robbery. Cinder sees Ruby but doesn’t notice the SILVER EYES.

So when she fights Ruby in the CCT she notices something disturbing. Silver eyes. Cinder tries to pass it off. “She’s a weak child! They’re probably GREY eyes. Yeah, Grey eyes. Let’s try to kill her just in case.”

So since Cinder didn’t realize. She probably consciously did but kept trying to deny it, so her

 A)     Guilt

 B)     Fear

Wouldn’t come up. She didn’t want to confront the fact that Ruby was Summer’s daughter, a SEW that could probably ruin everything she and Salem were working for.

So Cinder had convinced herself that Ruby’s eyes were grey. Then she kills Pyrrha. And Ruby triggers her SEW powers.

And Cinder angrily yells “WHAT” because she was so mad that she tricked herself into believing that Ruby was a SEW, not researching ways to nullify the ability.

Then she runs away to regret all her life choices.

 -           A small theory based on the theory that SUMMER AND RUBY AREN’T MAIDENS.

Okay, you're forgetting something my friend. She also slaps herself.
