Summarization:

Sometime before, Ozpin loses to Salem, and is cursed with immortality

Goes into state of depression

Meets four sisters, and ends up granting them powers

As of now, the maidens are Cinder (fall), Vernal (spring), and winter and summer as missing

We know that Summer Rose, Cinder Fall, Winter Schnee, had coincidental naming schemes, however Cinder Fall is the Fall Maiden.

As of Volume 5, based on the latest episode *spoilers*

Emerald, CEM, and Watts come to attack Raven's faction, and Emerald is taking charge. Knowing that they are there for the Spring Maiden, Vernal, then Emerald may be trying to gain her powers. Cinder isn't eligible (assuming that one person cannot be two maidens) and there are no other girls. So assuming this is true, Emerald will (maybe) be the next Spring Maiden

Onto Winter. This is one of the least discussed maiden, but theories point to the Schnee matriarch, Weiss and Winter's mother, or simply just Winter

Summer, is even less discussed, with only Summer Rose being a candidate

Some believe that RWBY will end up being the maidens, or holding the relics, but they already border on Mary Sue-ism (especially Ruby), so hopefully this is not the case.

What do you think? Is there anything I missed?
