Why is it that everyone who supports the "Ruby is a Maiden" theory is so...defensive? The whole damn point of a speculation board is to post and debate theories. That means people are going to tear it down and point out flaws if there are any. And the Ruby = Maiden theory has pleanty of holes.

Thematically Ruby cannot be the Winter Maiden. Both characters who have been the Fall Maiden have names and color associations with Fall. Ruby's name has no association with Winter, and her color theme is red and silver. And silver is not white. If Ruby were a Maiden she would be the Summer Maiden. It's just Fun speculation. Most people would respond well if people didn't try to shut it down so hard. I mean shit, if you just answered, "probably not going to be that though" The unanimous response would probably be, "Yeah, it sounds cool though". Then we all unite as a fandom and just enjoy our lives.
