User blog comment:ChishioKunrin/Maidens - Origin of Dust and the Kingdoms?/@comment-26463535-20151216074212

I do agree that each maiden wields a certain element that relates to one of the common dust types. But couldn't fire go to autumn and wind go to summer?

Things die in autumn like they die in fire. Fires in the fireplace get started in autumn. The colors of autumn are more fire-related. And Occrum's razor, Cinder has only been seen using fire (does have fire Dust, though probably more so that others think she uses it). The Fall maiden attacked and half her power stolen from. Qrow said the infiltrator caused it, and that infiltraitor was Cinder.

Wind users are usually seen as playful and energetic (ex. Aang from A:TLA) like kids are during summer vacation. There's a song called "Summer Breeze" and another called "Summer Wind." Alright, mostly, if summer maidens usually use wind, then Ruby's tailwind might have another cause besides a secondary/second tier ability of her semblance.
