Gundam Legilis wrote: I hope they don't become Maidens, or at the very least, not until near the end of the story. I suspect that Cinder is going to capture all of the Maidens' power first then Team RWBY face off against her in the climactic episode of the show. They will reclaim what is theirs by right (either by defeating her or by the powers abandoning her when their rightful owners call to them. Killing the Spider-Grimm may play a part too.

Then, the newly-empowered Maidens will use their newfound Animé Arbitary Magic to save Remnant and drive away the Grimm once and for all. Something tells me that then, the Romantic Interests will have to watch as the four newly-ascended demi-goddesses go their way on their never-ending journey to help anyone whom they are able.

I can honestly see Sun caressing Blake's cheek and then saying: "Now, you look after yourself... Farewell, little goddess."
