That's also just her silver eyes power activating. You know, the new leged we were told? Taiyang was against telling her anything but Qrow decided she should know. So he told her the legend of the Silver Eyes, which I got the impression was even older than the Maiden story. If she was a Maiden, he would have told her the story of the Maidens. He had no reason to go "Oh, I'm gonna tell her. Wait, nope. I'm gonna bullshit my way out of this will some made up story about a rare genetic quirk." I'll edit that after this post.

We don't know anything about these silver eyed warriors or their potential powers. At least with a Winter Maiden we can assume that the Maiden will have powers related to winter ,like ice and snow, which explains how Ruby was able to freeze the Grim Dragon. It also fits well with Cinder and Salem. If my theory is right than Vol. 3 transitions out of Fall and into Winter. Eventually, Winter falls to Spring.
