...Why is it Guardians and Maidens? Do males get called Guardians and females get called Maidens? If so, I call sexism, because Maiden does not make me think of a protector of the people, someone who is strong and to be looked up to for hope and protection. It makes me think of someone who needs rescuing, who is not strong, and who is overall weak in terms of physical and combat prowess.

It makes me think of chauvenistic knights calling out "Fear not, fair maiden! I shall protect you!" while the girl cowers in fear behind him.

Guardians is a suitably gender neutral word, they could have just kept using it instead of giving women their own title. Unless there is an equivalent male term, I will forever think that Maidens is mildly sexist.
