I speculate that team RWBY might end up being the four maidens...unless (I'll try not to spoil things) Pyrrha ends up being the Fall maiden or possessing some type of power. It is possible that what Pyrrha went through in the last episode is a rite of passage for her and we may be seeing her again.

Otherwise, I am in favour of the strong possibility of team RWBY being the four maidens. It is also possible that Ozpin was the hermit that gave the four maidens their powers, with him being a wizard/mage-type character.
