In other words, it seems implied that Qrow suspects that the Spring Maiden is one of Raven's bandits. Possibilities:

- The Spring Maiden went to Raven/the Tribe for protection after the Ozluminati failed to protect Amber.

- Raven killed the Spring Maiden to get the powers for herself (unlikely given her implied age, unless it happened some time ago).

- Raven is the Spring Maiden. Orrrr, what I've been thinking: One of the younger female bandits in Raven's tribe became the new Spring Maiden.

Qrow said that Raven has someone powerful on her side, and when she mentioned not knowing the Grimm would show up that soon, he said he didn't mean the Grimm and didn't mean Raven either. That means, if Qrow was talking about the Spring Maiden, Raven is not Spring.

If Raven really does see the bandit tribe as family, I can't imagine she would be very happy about the Brotherhood taking one of her bandits away for being the Spring Maiden, especially if the Brotherhood intends to do something to her for using her Maiden powers for looting and killing.
