Oh for crying out loud. There is an extremely high chance that Ruby is a maiden, both from a literary perspective as well as evidance that has been presented. Qrow has ample reason not to tell Ruby that she is one of the maiden. For starters it allows him to protect her more easily. Intead of having to check up on her and her knowing that he is only doing it because she is a maiden, he can check up on her and be her uncle. Two, as stated above, Ruby would have obtained this power when she was little. Placing that much pressure on young children might have destroyed several maidens. Remember Amber, was not very caucious nor smart when it came to her fight. Yes I know that Cinders faction ambushed her but at the same time after she was ambushed she did not try to escape, she tried to fight. If Ruby was ambushed by three people (this is assuming that she IS a maiden) she would run. In all likeyhood Ruby is a maiden, and Qrow is not telling her to protect her.
