Actually, Cinder being the Summer Maiden seems convincing. She, alongside Glinda, is the only one who use some sort of "magic" without explicit use of Dust (when she made popcorn with her bare fingers, or when she fought by making shards gather into fiery spears). It can be explained during her first fight in Ep1, but she is also seen using that technique when facing Amber (so, without her Maiden powers)

My thery is that Cinder is trying to gather the power of all four Maidens into her, and that she a lready was a Maiden (possibly Summer) OR she already stole the powers from the previous Summer Maiden.

Winter clearly not being a Maiden, we can say that the names are just coincidential, and Summer being a Maiden just because of her name is maybe far-fetched. Or maybe she was, and Cinder killed her, who knows ?

Oh, and speaking of Glinda, having that much power with only a small wand, she may be a Maiden too, even though I just suppose she have a powerful Semblance
