So, yeah... this one is actually self-explanatory. Given the mysterious new abilities she displayed against the Grimm Dragon, I would predict that Ruby is one of the Four Maidens. Given the nature of her powers, I would predict she's the Winter Maiden (however Amber, the previous Fall Maiden also displayed ice abilities so who knows).

Honestly, this may also explain Summer Rose's disappearance (last I heard, she was only presumed dead and nothing was really definite). Summer may have been the previous Winter Maiden (I theorize that Ruby is specifically the Winter Maiden) and did actually die, thus letting Ruby in heriting her powers.

However, full disclosure, Ruby may also be something completely different.
