14A/N
Been awhile since I've visited RWBY world, glad this built up popularity while I spent time in HP world.
I've been kinda obsessed with Ruby being a maiden lately, so I'm trying something different.
I dont own RWBY
Raven knew she wasn't a good person, she had killed the previous spring maiden for her power and was approaching the winter maiden.
The silver haired girl smiled, "so the murderer of spring is here. I knew it was a matter of time that you or the girl attacking fall would come after me and summer."
"So you know why I'm here, why not take precautions so I couldn't find you?"
The girl opened her eyes and looked at the masked woman, "I took precautions long ago when something like this would happen."
Miles away in a small village a massive wave of energy blew through the town and the towns people looked up to see two beams shooting into the air, one blue and one pink.
As Raven stood over the womans body watching the light fade from her eyes she scoffed, "really. I'm doing you a favor. You would've never made it in the world, your far too weak."
With her dying breath the winter maiden laughed, "perhaps. But my heir will be no such thing." Pulling out a glowing object she began thinking of one single feature that stood out to her in all her travels, silver eyes.

Four years ago
Ruby had just ran home crying to a tree in her back yard when a woman dressed in all blue approached, "why is a cute little wolf like you crying?"
Silver met blue and the winter maiden sucked in a breath, 'those eyes hold much power. But most of all innocence.' The little girl spoke up, "signal accadamy headmaster changed my school scores so I couldn't go to school...I'll never be a huntress now."
The silverette smiled, "I've made my decision then, here." She pulled out a small blue gem that seemed to glow slightly and wrapped the necklace around her neck, "keep this with you always. It will help cheer you up when your down."
Ruby blinked and the woman was gone. "Hello? Where did you go?"
A twig snapped and Ruby twirled around and saw a thirteen year old girl and boy starring at her curiously. The boy growled when he saw blood on the 11 year olds ear, "what happened to you?"
Ruby shook a little, "I tried to get into signal but the headmaster changed my official score to zero so I couldn't get in. After I tried to tell him it wasnt fair he grabbed my ear and pulled hard, it really hurt." This was when she noticed the boy had horns and the girl bad cat ears. "You're like me! I've never met another person like me since mom died."
The girl eyed Ruby, "yes, were faunus. You mean to tell me you have no idea what being a faunus is like."
Ruby shook her head, "no, my mom had ears like mine but she died when I was five...my dad and sister dont have animal parts like me."
Adam held out his hand, "come with us. Our group is made of our kind. We can show you what being a faunus is like. I'm Adam, this is Blake."
Ruby smiled widely and took his hand.

Ruby woke up with a start hearing a faint pulsing sound. Blake sat up beside her and looked around as well, she saw a faint glow coming from Ruby's stuff.
Ruby got out of bed and reached out for the glow and pulled a blue stone from her cloths, "this thing hasn't done this for years." She reached out and as soon as her fingers touched the stone Ruby felt a pulse of power travel through her.
"My legacy is yours now Ruby. Protect those that cant protect themselves." She heard ring through her head and she looked in the mirror. She jumped slightly as she saw blue flames that had a silver flame in the center erupting from her eyes.
"What is going on Ruby?" Blake asked.
Ruby felt a drain on her aura and focused on shutting It off. Blake watched as the flames disappeared, "Blake what was that?" She just shook her head to surprised to say anything. Then Ruby collapsed and Blake ran over and let out a breath. She had just passed out. She picked Ruby up and slipped back into bed, "we'll figure this out tomorrow. It's way to early for this.

Raven scowled, "Vernal, are you sure it didn't work."
The brunette shook her head, "no. Our readings dont show anyone who attacked her gained a power boost."
"Who could've gotten the powers then, back to camp everyone."

Weiss noticed something was off with her team leader and her partner the next day. They both dived into history books, this wasnt a real problem for her because she figured they were just studying ahead, she had learned much about her team in the past few weeks, while not as much as her, Ruby and Blake took there studying seriously. This lead to her realizing that there was more to these two than she initially thought. After the first day of classes she felt her irritation of not being leader fade as she watched Ruby do tiny small things to help to guide the team to be better. For Blake, she encouraged her to take her training more seriously, as a result while not on par with her teamwork with Ruby, both she and her partner were able to fight with, and against her much better than before.
For Yang, while it's only helped slightly, Ruby helped Yang take more interest in just doing decent in class. Due to this team RWBY is regarded as the best first year team both in fights and academically.
For her, shes been helping her realize that the Schnee name may be powerful, but her at beacon...wel it doesnt mean much. She had been an ice cold bitch at first, she was willing to admit. But with a little hint here and there Weiss was quickly seeing that she didn't know best with everything. Seeing these pieces of leadership Weiss saw why Ozpin had made the fifteen year old leader and not her.
But today something was off, Ruby seemed pale and seemed to be holding something back with considerable effort. And she also saw the worry laced on Blake's face. Sitting in combat class she resolved to ask her what was wrong after class ended.
"Ms. Rose, we have yet to see your skills, how about you come down here." Professor Goodwitch called
Everyone watched as Ruby Rose and Phyrra Nikos stood opposite each other weapons at the ready. They watched as they clashed weapons, only a few people noticed something however, Phyrra seemed to panic for a second, her eyes widened and she fought with more ferocity.
Phyrra wasnt aware of three people in the rooms thoughts. She was focused on the fight, she had never ran into anyone who used metal in there weapons that didn't work with her semblance. She had to rely on our swordswoman ship today, she wouldn't be able to say shes untouchable anymore though. Five minutes later both girls were on the last sliver of aura before they dropped into red, everyone was stunned because Phyrra Nikos was the invincible girl. No way was she losing.
Phyrra was preparing for her final attack when Ruby disappeared in a flurry of red Rose's. She noticed the trail of ice she left where she was standing. Next thing she knew she was on her back clutching her side where Ruby struck. "And that's the match. Miss Rose wins. Remember students, having s semblance is good, but if you rely on it too heavily like miss Nikos does then your actual combat prowess. Class dismissed."
Glenda noticed that Ruby hadn't moved an inch after the class emptied out. "Miss Rose, are you ok?"
Ruby began visibly trembling and her eyes shot open. Glynda gasped as she saw blue flames with the silver in the middle erupt from her eyes. "Please help professor. I'm trying to hold it in but its becoming more difficult as time goes on. What's happening to me?!" Frost started to cover the arena.
"Miss Rose try to reel it in. We need to visit the headmaster immediately." The flames vanished and the professor escorted her out hiding her eyes from the student body in case she was seen using that power.
The elevator opened and Ozpin saw his second in command come in, "ah, Glynda. What seemed to be the problem?" He asked and took a sip of his mug only to immediately spit take when she pulled Ruby Rose from under her Cape. A Ruby Rose that had a blue and silver flame leaking from her eyes again. "Miss Rose?!"
"Oz, I think we found a new maiden. She doesnt know what's going on or how to control it." Glynda said.
Ozpin leapt up and walked over. He placed a hand on her head and let his magic go slightly, sure enough, there in her he felt two magic swirling around. Only one she was born with though. "Miss rose, when was the first time this happened to you?"
Ruby had visibly relaxed after the flames emerged from her eyes again. "Last night professor...Blale and I were woken up by this stone humming." She pulled the necklace out, "after that my eyes did this."
"Yes, miss Belladonna... I need you to come to the headmasters office immediately." Glynda made the call immediately.
"Take a deep breath Ruby. Close your eyes and feel out the power. Let it flow through you for a second, now slowly close off that flow of energy." Ruby did as instructed and the flames petered out just before the elevator dinged open and Blake stepped through.
"Ruby! What's wrong?"
"Calm yourself miss Belladonna. Miss Rose just inherited a power that's been around for a long while."
Blake stiffened, "you saw those flames? What are they?"
Ozpin motioned for the girls to sit, "first, I should tell you miss Rose, I plan on helping you control those abilities if yours. As for your answer Miss Belladonna, have you ever heard the story of the four maidens?"

A/N
No phyrra is still an amazing fighter, but i felt she needed to be nocked down a few pegs. Her semblance is very powerful, I feel that she relies on it to much, so I made it so Ruby designed Crecent Rose with non magnetic metal, that way Phyrra will see shes NOT invincible, and in this I plan on her not dyeing to Cinder in the invasion because she'll work on fighting without relying on her semblance. I believe that's why she lost to cinder, she never fought someone she could use her semblance on directly. It's a major flaw for Phyrra in this story to not rely on her semblance, however shes still an amazing fighter as shown to tha fact that she still almost beat Ruby without it on anything but her own weapons and armor.
Also I wanted to take a realistic view on ruby getting her maiden powers, most fanfictions I read and write, Ruby masters the powers pretty quick. Not this time
