There is a chance that Cinder made Emerald the new fall maiden, because Cinder knows how the transfer of power works. Since we know of no other elligible young women that are on Cinder's side, she must have chosen Emerald. If she doesn't want the powers to fall into the "wrong hands" (seen from her perspective) she must have chosen someone she knew. Unless she knows someone that we are unaware of, the chance of it being Emerald are, let's say, 95% (in my opinion). The other logical option would be for her to think of someone that is not elligible to inherit the powers, and let Qrow and Ozpin search for the next, randomly chosen, maiden. This costs them time and with any luck Salem will have found this girl first.
