Vernal

Vernal is a character from the RWBY web-animation series.

Vernal is the most trusted commander of Raven's bandit tribe, being her confidante and number two.

In the Heroes Coalition fics, Vernal made an appearance at the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Remnant Chronicles. She was spared from her canon-fate.

Appearance
Vernal was a young woman with tan-colored skin, short brown hair and icy blue eyes. She had a tattoo of a bird rising from flowers on her left arm. She wore a brown vest over a torn white shirt, with a collar that appears to spike up behind her neck. Vernal wore maroon-colored pants with the right side rolled up to her thigh. She also wore dark brown knee guards that go down to her brown boots.

Personality
Vernal was shown to be highly confident, and takes pride in being a member of the Branwen Tribe. She was visibly irritated by Weiss Schnee's comments about her and her fellow bandits. She enjoyed teasing hostages, indicating she possesses a substantial cruel streak. She liked Myrtenaster, for she showed hesitation in giving it up. She only relinquished the weapon at Raven's request, showing she holds her in high regards, like the other tribe members. She was loyal enough to be Raven's decoy, despite the target it put on her back.

As a member of the Branwen Tribe, she had a history of partaking in raids on villages and caravans.

Abilities
Vernal displayed her combat ability during her fight against Weiss. She was shown to be intuitive, keeping Weiss on the defensive to prevent her from Summoning.
