I honestly think that Ozpin has a vested interest in Ruby because he thinks she 'might be a maiden'. Think about it only Atlas has made strides to studying Aura from a scientific stand point and in recent years, the Brotherhood very likely has no scientific tools or data to help Identify the maidens. It's likely that the Brotherhood (by the way is that what we're gonna call Ozpin's secret fraternity?) only has observing possible candidates for showing symptoms of being a Maiden to manifest. Ruby is young and maybe those symptoms have yet to manifest, or maybe she just has as of yet to tap into her powers (if she has them).

Ruby would more likely to tap into her Maiden powers, and easier to observe at Beacon, where she's be boarding as oppose to signal academy where she might go home at the end of everyday.

So the reason Ozpin let Ruby in early is to help determine if she was a Maiden, and even if she wasn't he would have put a talented young girl on the fast track to becoming an amazing Huntress. Something that looks like a win-win.

-Defcon Deceiver. I agree with this slightly, but I have something I want to add.

I think Ruby will be a maiden in the future, and that her mother is a current maiden, and is in fact still alive somewhere. But, if she turns up again, she'll die soon afterwards for one reason or another. Clearly, the last thing on her mind would be her daughter, so the power would pass on in that regard.

Of course, this is just an idea that I cooked up and hope happens. Thoughts?
