I think the Winter Maiden will be a child because Miles and Kerry mentioned there would be a child character in V6, and I can see them wanting to make a child a maiden. Fall is a typical young woman. Spring, at this point in life, is now a middle aged women (Raven’s around at least 40-41). Winter could be a child, because children are conceptually similar to the theme of creation, and Summer could be an old woman who inherited the power when she was young and kept it all her life. Old people are closer to death. Death and destruction are also conceptually similar.

As for Summer being from Atlas, that comes down to parallels they’re setting up between STRQ and RWBY. They share the same color scheme, and so far their weapons have lined up conceptually. They also have siblings on the same team. In RWBY, there are two siblings from Vale, a character who was raised outside of the kingdoms (Menagerie is not a kingdom, remember), and a character from Atlas. In STRQ, we have two siblings from outside of the kingdoms, and everything about Tai suggests he’s the type of character who probably didn’t leave his home kingdom or town. He’s likely from Patch, which is part of Vale. Just because he has an Asian name doesn’t mean he’s instantly from Mistral. Leo and Pyrrha’s names are European, yet they’re from Mistral, not Vale. That just leaves Summer as the member from Atlas, which fits her color scheme (the white cloak), and comes with a level of irony, as the character named Summer Rose would be from then Wintery kingdom.
