Overview Battles and Events Image Gallery
Team CRDL (pronounced "Cardinal") is a team of students from Beacon Academy. The team was first seen in "Players and Pieces". During the initiation, the team brought back the black bishop relics.
Beginning in "Jaunedice", the members are shown to be bullies, with Cardin Winchester picking on Jaune Arc. Meanwhile, Russel Thrush is seen calling Velvet Scarlatina a freak, while Sky Lark and Dove Bronzewing laugh at Velvet.
The first battle with all four members together takes place in "Extracurricular" against Pyrrha Nikos, who soundly defeats them all. The team later competed in the Vytal Festival Tournament, winning their first-round match and sending Sky Lark and Russel Thrush to the doubles round where they were easily defeated by Penny Polendina and Ciel Soleil.
It is currently unknown if any of its members survived the Fall of Beacon.

Trivia[]
- The team seems to have a bird motif, similar to Team RWBY's fairytale motif and Team JNPR's motif of mytho-historical figures who disguised themselves as the opposite gender. Each member's name is synonymous with or similar to the name of a bird.
- Furthermore, the birds lend credence to the possibility this group shares a heraldic motif. While the cardinal is an obvious allusion to the religious station of the same name, the others (Thrush, Lark, Dove) are figures which were typically used on heraldic shields.
- As revealed during "Forever Fall", each member of the team has eyes which are all a shade of blue.
- Sky and Russel's eyes changed from blue to brown in Volume 2.
- The team also appears to possess a medieval or knight theme as each member uses weapons that bear a striking similarity to many medieval weapons.
