Pepperidge Farms remembers. See the really annoying thing is many of us thought Raven was the spring maiden BEFORE VERNAL EXISTED.... and now upon looking back on it, the really annoying thing is Vernal's only real character trait(as the not maiden) in the tribe was being the ONLY competent combatant who was not a maiden in the tribe... we don't even know much to anything about her motivations... and that is a rather annoying oversite in making her character which takes away from how well the reveal was done.

So basically the only reason her character existed was to make us think she was the Spring Maiden.
