BUT, with Cinder Fall it was also a coincidence. And yet, when Maidens were introduced, she was retconned into (half-)one.

As such, it would not be unexpected nor surprising at all if Summer or Winter suffered the same fate. Being named after the seasons may be a coincidence, but it doesn't mean that they were not retconned into Maidens.

Granted, Summer being a Maiden would only make her death even harder to believe, but still.

Besides that, yeah, Ruby is not a Maiden whatsoever, she's just a SEW. No reason to believe Ruby has them because Summer did. Nothing even implies they are genetic (in fact, it kinda says they are not), nor that they could influence the child in some way.
