Vernal

Vernal is a character introduced in "Unforeseen Complications". She is a bandit in the Branwen Tribe.

Appearance
Vernal appears to be a young woman with peach-colored skin and short brown hair. She has moderately thin arms with a tattoo on her left arm. She wears a brown vest over a torn white shirt, with a collar that appears to spike up behind her neck. Vernal wears maroon-colored pants with the right side rolled up halfway. She also wears dark brown knee guards that go down to her brown boots.

Personality
From what little has been seen of Vernal, she seems to be highly confident and takes pride in being a member of a bandit tribe. She was also visibly irritated by Weiss's comments about her and her fellow bandits. She also enjoys teasing her hostages, indicating she possesses a substantial mean streak.

Powers and Abilities
Vernal has yet to be seen in combat, but her affiliation with a bandit tribe suggests a history of attacking convoys and villages, such as her tribe's attack on Shion village.

RWBY
Vernal exits a tent after hearing the captive Weiss Schnee. She holds Weiss' weapon and relishes conversation as she says the tribe will traffic Weiss back to her home in Atlas. When Weiss says her sister Winter Schnee will find and save her, Vernal informs her of General Ironwood recalling his forces, saying nobody will save her.

Trivia

 * Like many people in the world of Remnant, her name follows the Color Naming Rule. Vernal is something that is occurring in or relating to the springtime.
 * Qrow Branwen believes the spring maiden to be a member of the Branwen, it is speculated by the fandom but lacks offfical confirmation that she is the spring maiden, though it is very likely seeing as her name relates to spring and she is shown to be opposing Cinder Fall in the volume 5 intro.
