1. Because Yang is her daughter?

2. Because Yang is his niece, and Ruby is his adoptive niece?

3. Because Ruby is a prodigy, and since things are going bad really soon, Ozpin couldn't wait two years to put Ruby to use?

None of that is evidence of Yang being a Maiden, as it can easily be explained the way I just explained them. It's just a thought to speculate on, and may have more backing to it than Ruby being one.

1. This is true. But then why is she suddenly keeping an eye on her when she left all those years ago and hasn't been seen since. (Possibly even avoiding Yang who has been searching for her)

2. Also true. Keep in mind that he is often out on missions, and is one of the Hunters meant to specifically protect the maidens. If he was anywhere nearby, it wouldn't have taken him so long to snatch them up and keep the grimm encounter from happening. If he wasn't nearby, Taiyang would have had to realize they were missing, search, get in contact with Qrow, and then have Qrow conveniently come find them in the middle of nowhere Patch which is an isolated island. Taiyang should've been there first.

3. Possibly. I can't say my argument is any more valid than yours here. She's a good fighter. Ozpin's motivations to move her up could be anything.
