1. Ruby did not literally freeze the dragon. The Volume 4 opening shows that she turned the dragon to stone.

2. Summer was definitely not the Spring Maiden before Raven. First of all, Lionheart said the Spring Maiden was a child and that she ran away over a decade ago. It's more than likely Raven became the Spring Maiden after leaving Tai and Yang. Students graduate the Huntsman Academy at age 21. They start at age 17, and Ozpin said they attend for 4 years. Summer would not have been a child after Raven left, and Summer did not die until after Raven left.

So, no, Summer was not the Spring Maiden before Raven.

3. Pretty sure Qrow knows how to recognize Maiden powers, and Ruby's eyes would've been giving off flames like Cinder and Raven's, rather than just a bright light that makes her irises themselves glow.
