What if Ruby was actually the Winter Maiden? I mean she froze a large dragon grimm with an outburst of silver power coming from her eyes. And it was said that she inherited the trait from her mother Summer. Qrow said Silver Eyed warriors were already present in Remnant for a very long time. What if it was all just a complicated family tree, and that all the previous silver eyed warriors were distant ancestors of Ruby, and the Winter power was just being passed on?

Another theory I have is that Summer had both the Spring and the Winter powers. Cinder killed Vernal, intending to steal her 'maiden powers' so its possible that two people can have more than one maiden power. A popular theory is that Raven killed Summer, and my guess is that it was probably because of Qrow's (bad) luck, so when Summer was killed the Spring power went to Raven while the Winter Power went to Ruby.
