The problem people had with thinking Vernal wasn't the maiden is that her character has NO OTHER PURPOSE... we don't really know who she was in relation to anyone, we don't really know her background, she's an aberration in the tribe because she can actually fight almost at Raven's level(or at least around RWBY's).

We don't even truly know what she was to Raven, was she just a bodyguard? Another daughter? an adopted daughter? an apprentice? Second in command? the "Maiden" in waiting(intended inheritor of Raven's powers)?

What was the tribe to Vernal? a home? a job? why did she do it? her character is such a __________ it's hard to remember she had so much screentime in a season flush with wasted time.
