Whoever the Summer Maiden is will end up finishing Salem and therefor RWBY as a series. Oh my god are you still doing this?

Salem can't be a maiden. Her name does not follow the CNR. She predates it the same way Ozpin does. Therefor she can't be a maiden because she's to old to inherit the power. And it can't be she's the original Winter Maiden becuase Ozpin's order would damn well know if one of the Maiden's wasn't being reincarnated.
