Chishio: Everyone's hair looks better in 2D.

I've done a bit of thinking about it, and I wonder if I got this backwards. Winter might be the Summer Maiden and Summer was/Ruby is the Winter Maiden. The writing team do have a habit of inverting things (Neptune is afraid of water etc.)

Go back to the story: "The first understands his reclusive nature and urges him to use his time in solitude to reflect and meditate. The second brings him fruits and flowers, tending to his crops and revitalizing his garden. The third warms the man's heart, convincing him to step outside and embrace the world around him. And the fourth and final sister begs him to look at all that he has, and be thankful."

Ruby is understanding. In Forever Fall Pt 1 she almost convinces Jaune to go back to his team after secluding himself. She also seemed to spend a lot of her time alone before coming to Beacon, and would go visit her mother's grave on her own.

Winter does her best to encourage her sister, acting like a motherly figure and engouraging Weiss. One of her last lines was about going to see the world: "... or you could continue to explore Remnant, discovering more about the world and honestly, more about yourself."

Cinder, assuming she is inheriting the stolen role, is certainly making everyone look at everything they have and be thankful for it; before she crushes all of it beneath her glass heel.

I've had too much time to think about this.
