Uhh, well, Ruby has been planned to be a Silver-Eyed Warrior since before Monty came up with the Maidens.

He didn't come up with the Maidens until after they finished production on Volume 2. Meanwhile, they had already set Ruby to be a Silver-Eyed Warrior before they even began writing the script for Volume 1. Monty, Miles, and Kerry planned out the show and the absolute majority of information about the characters before they began writing the script for Volume 1.

They were already in the planning stages when Monty worked on the public version of the Red Trailer (the original version was just a proof of concept that he showed to Matt Hullum to get permission to start making RWBY). I'm pretty sure they already had a lot planned out by the time Monty worked on the White Trailer, considering they stated the entire reason the Geist Grimm exists is because they needed a way for Weiss to fight a giant suit of armor in her trailer. Plus, they already had an early concept of Dust and had thought up aspects of Weiss' life and troubles. They definitely had the show well-planned by the time Monty and Shane worked on the Black Trailer, and by then, red Dust had already changed from the deflection thing Weiss did to being fire Dust with Adam trailing fire from his sword.

And, at this point, I'm rambling. But yeah, Ruby was always gonna be a SEW, so basically, they "lost the chance" to make Ruby a Maiden way before the Maidens were even a concept that Monty decided to add to the show.
