^ Silver also affects shapeshifters in Supernatural.

But yeah, uh, no, especially since Monty didn't come up with the Maidens until after volume 2, but they already had the Silver-Eyed Warriors stuff planned since before volume 1, hence the first thing Ozpin said to Ruby being "Ruby Rose. You... have silver eyes."

Ruby is definitely not a Maiden. If she was a Maiden, then the conversation in A Much Needed Talk would've gone like this:

Ruby: But why was Tyrian after me?

Qrow: Because you're a Maiden, and they seem to be going after all the Maidens. Like I said, they already got Fall.

But instead, the conversation went like this:

Ruby: But why was Tyrian after me?

Qrow: Your silver eyes. Like I told you, that's a rare trait and not a lot of people know about it, but the people that do are upset that you were able to use them at the fall of Beacon.

(I'm paraphrasing, of course, but yeah)

In End of the Beginning, when Ruby asked Qrow what he and Tai meant about what she did, he told her about silver eyes and Silver-Eyed Warriors. He didn't say a single thing about the Maidens.
