"Cinder may have killed Ruby's mother and stolen her fire abilities."

Not possible, we were told Cinder is not much older than Yang and the others, and Summer died when Ruby was very little, like four years old. Cinder would have been too young by then to be a terrorist, much less killing a proffesional huntress and maiden.

Also, we were never told or even implied that the Maidens have the power of the elements so don't say that she stole her fire abilities.
