In fact, it's incredibly unlikely considering the fact that she was a SEW, and apparently one can severly hurt the other. Actually, that may just be because Cinder used a Grimm to steal the Fall Maiden powers and then the glove housing said Grimm was absorbed by her body. The silver eye powers thus counted her as partially Grimm.

And yeah, Summer Rose and Winter Schnee are not Maidens, despite their names. Summer Rose was a Silver-Eyed Warrior, not a Maiden. While that is a cool, popular theory going around, I think it's more to do with the maiden powers themselves. Salem said that Cinder lost because of the maiden abilities, not the method in which she required them. Something as "all-powerful" as the maiden gifts must have a built in fail safe.

Also, I believe someone asked if there are a set of powers unique to each individual Maiden. The question may have been asked in a different thread, but I'll say it here just in case my first mind proves true. According to the director's commentary, the Maidens all share the same abilities. I suppose they just may have an affinity for different facets of those abilities. Through the other Maidens we may get to see what else they are capable of doing. I do hope the next maiden proves extremely tough to capture and/or kill. It was said seeing Amber go down so quickly and easily. Not to mention, I just love seeing super powerful women exercising their gifts.
