I don't care if it's technically possible, it would be almost as bad as Pyrrha being revived or Yang getting her arm regrown in the first episode of V4. You may not like it, but I have a feeling they are definitely going to have Ruby get those Maiden powers from her mother either because her mother was already dead or, if she is alive, because she will die and pass them on to Ruby. There is nothing bad about it. Granted, that is a final season kind of thing to pull for Ruby. One thing you have in a lot of stories is some sort of equalizer that makes even the strongest characters weak. Such as Superman and Kryptonite or Devil Fruit users and water in One Piece. Not suggesting anything of that nature, but any good series would never have a character who is truly OP unless their role in the story is akin to a god. Everyone has a weakness or someone whose strength is so great that all that power may only barely be enough.
