1. Like it was already said in this thread: The original Winter Maiden's eyes were blue. If anything, she looks almost like the Schnee family descended from her or something (though, Monty did not come up with the idea for the Maidens until after they finished making volume 2. <- Important note). And might I point out that it most likely doesn't matter what color someone's eyes are when they're a Maiden. It's not like Cinder's eyes changed color. They stayed the same. I'm sure that if Pyrrha had gotten the remainder of the Fall Maiden powers, her eyes would have stayed green.

2. "Froze" doesn't necessarily have to mean that it was frozen in ice. It could mean figuratively, like it's frozen in time, paralyzed/frozen in space, petrified, etc.

3. Yeah, like the others said, Ruby's eye flash thing was more like grand sweeping bird/angel wings, while Amber's and Cinder's was small butterfly kinda wings.

4. The snow thing is like SYUTK said: Book Ends. It was used to demonstrate that the time period between the Red Trailer and End of the Beginning was 1 year. Most likely, the Red Trailer took place at the beginning of the year (January/February) during late winter. Spring came along and the school year started. Go through the whole year, it's fall toward the end of their first year in volume 3. The school year is over, Beacon is destroyed, and Ruby stays home to recover for the rest of fall. The beginning of winter comes along, it's the end of the year, and RNJR heads off to start their journey to Mistral.

All it is, is that it has been 1 whole year from the Red Trailer to the final scene of End of the Beginning.
