Yeah, now that I think about it, Ruby and Raven may haven't been as likely as I first thought. Unless Salem can bypass the connections needed to be met, she couldn't possess the maiden's power either, since she's pretty much immortal and would as old as Ozpin. Unless she also reincarnates into other bodies, and just happens to be 30 yrs old right now. so even without knowing why Cinder would've been thinking of Emerald, it's the only person I can think of until we are introduced to new characters.
