It is exactly what you would expect them to do with the main character, though. Usually the main character becomes crazy OP and if the significance of naming in this series is any guide than Summer Rose was or is probably the Summer Maiden and therefore Ruby would be the most likely recipient of her powers. Winter Schnee would be the one most likely to have Winter Maiden powers and therefore Weiss would be the most likely recipient. At the moment we have no idea who might by the Spring Maiden so it is up for debate. Fall Maiden powers seem most suited to Blake given the stereotype.

They could always pull off a twist and have Yang get the Summer Maiden powers and then Ruby gets the Fall Maiden powers, which would sort of be the cliché outcome as it would mean Ruby defeating Cinder for good and getting her powers. That would leave Blake with the Spring Maiden powers, though, and that would be a tad odd. What if RWBY got their powers based on the direction they were going?

Ruby would get the the Fall Maiden from being the middle ground between Winter and Spring (and tradionally the leader season)

Weiss would learn to be more rebellious and get Summer

Blake has learned to accept herself and open up more and become the Spring maiden

and Yang had become somewhat jaded and would be thee Winter maiden
