She was young, inexperienced." I don't know about this whole thing of Vernal not being a Maiden, however. Were the eye thing really a factor, then I imagine Cinder would have brought it up. Could be she doesn't really know the eye thing is deinite, but it still raises the question of how it would have turned out that way. If Qrow knew who had the Maiden powers then he presumably would recognize Vernal and it is hard to see them not mentioning Raven has the Maiden powers. Not to mention that if Raven was the Maiden then Lionheart would not have been struggling to find her location. Suppose one outcome is that maybe the real Vernal died and passed the powers to Raven who then had someone pretend to be the real Spring Maiden, a fact which would be exposed once they appear in Mistral.
