Two, as stated above, Ruby would have obtained this power when she was little. Remember Amber, was not very caucious nor smart when it came to her fight. If Ruby was ambushed by three people (this is assuming that she IS a maiden) she would run. In all likeyhood Ruby is a maiden, and Qrow is not telling her to protect her. 1-No there isn't. There's no concrete evidence of Ruby being a Maiden, and from a literary perspective it's a dumb, ridiculous idea.

2-If she obtained it when she was little, she would have found out about the powers by the time the show begins.

3-Maybe Amber is not the kind of person that likes to or is used to fighting? Regardless, Amber's combat skills are irrelevant to the whole thing.

4-If Ruby was ambushed, regardless of being a Maiden or not, she wouldn't run, she would fight back.

In all likelyhood, Ruby is not a Maiden, she's something more powerful than a Maiden, seeing how she 1-hit-KOd the Fall Maiden who was at the peak of her power due to the current season being Fall. And like the other anon said, the Old Man split the power among them: 25/25/25/25. Not 90/5/3/2 or anything that would make 1 Maiden far stronger than the rest.
