Personally, I don't think Ruby being a Maiden would take away from her character. I will admit it is fun to see an 'ordinary' character rise to be a hero, and wouldn't mind if it turned out Ruby wasn't a Maiden. But I do like the idea of the main character having a power that makes them special as it helps to build expectations. And I especially like it when said character doesn't want to be special. If you ask me, if Ruby did turn out to be one of the Maidens, it might put a lot more pressure on her than she bargained for ("I don't want to be the bees knees! I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees!"), which could lead to some much needed character development for her. Still, while I actually do want Ruby to be a Maiden, I'm not gonna be salty if she's not, as I can see that direction still working well in its own right.
