I don't think Vernal is Spring Maiden instead more of possibilities goes to Raven. Here i'll explain to you.

When Cinder used her powers, her eyes lit up, but Vernal's didn't. Same thing happened back when Amber was using Maiden powers even with less exprience. Could it be possible that Raven was using magic and spring powers ,but was hiding her eyes under her mask and Vernal was just "acting"? . This Although, it might be crazy but have you notice V5C4 & V5C9? so i assuming Raven is Spring Maiden and I loved when CInder interested on Raven not only that Cinder also liked Raven's plan, cough.. cough.. Firebird/Hellfire ship cough coguh.

While I like the theory that Raven is the one doing the weather manipulation stuff and not Vernal it isn't backed up by what we previously saw. Raven had her grimm helmet off when she was talking to Yang and Weiss in front of her tent before a fight with her bandits was about to break out. Vernal is the one that made the lightening bolt come down to stop it and Raven thanked her. ( why would she do such thing?)  (*These mysterious scene have to reveal soon as possible* ) This is brilliant. It would totally make sense for a plot twist as the whole "special eyes" thing is pretty relevant in RWBY. And you're right. why was her helmet important unless it was to hide the maiden eyes? It still unknown what other magical powers Raven can be used we just wait and see. (This makes Raven one of the strongest character in RWBY aside from Cinder Fall, Ozpin & Salem)



I think the spring maiden that ran away years ago died and Raven inherited the power and Vernal is just another character that's close to Raven. (Vernal just a abondan child who raised by Raven such like Qrow and Raven when they were in childhoond)



Give your idea and opinion about this statement :D and thank you.
