The fact that Cinder used a Grimm summoned from a symbol on her glove to absorb Amber's powers. This leads me to believe that the Grimm and the Maiden powers have the same root: Magic.

2-...what if we consider the possibility that the reason we don't see any Grimm is because they didn't exist at that point in time?

3-What if the Maidens stole the magic from the 'Wizard' and kept it for themselves? What if with what little power she had left, she created the Grimm to hunt down the ones who had stolen her magic? 1-Actually, there's a theory that counters that: Basically, that the reason the eyes affected Cinder was not because of the powers, but because of how she got said powers. Which was done, via the Grimm Glove. Which then, after absorbing a part of the powers, "fused into her", and when she got hit by the blast, the eyes treated her as partially Grimm. Hence why she got scarred, but not petrified.

As for the glove: She likely got it from Salem. Doesn't mean the Grimm and Maidens are connected. In fact, most likely the glove simply drained a part of Amber's Aura, taking a part of the power with it.

2-....Or, no Grimm are mentioned because the Grimm had nothing to do with the story. Imagine you were telling the tale of Snow White. Are you going to mention Dracula when he's irrelevant to the tale? Of course not.

Besides, here's a fact: The Silver Eyed Warriors's tales mention them fighting Grimm, how their eyes could strike one down instantly. And the SEW existed before Maidens. Therefore, so did the Grimm.

3-I remember reading a theory that went like that. Possible given how legends and myths are bound to have some things altered as they spread.
