RWBY Vernal’s Allusion

Our catfish queen. The introduction of Vernal has certainly caught us off guard, and her whole Spring Maiden twist at the end of Volume 5 was definitely one of the best in any show ever. Today we’ll dive into her possible character inspiration and how she fits into the general story of RWBY (this might slowly turn into a Weiss analysis down the line)

Vernal is based on the Little Robber Girl (or the Little Robber Maiden) from the Snow Queen story

Let’s look into the story of the Snow Queen, more specifically, the chapter of the Little Robber Maiden. Gerda, the main character, is on a quest to find the Snow Queen. On the way, she is captured by robbers, let by the Old Robber Woman. Her pure golden heart makes her valueable, so she is taken to their base and meets the Little Robber Maiden, the daughter of the Robber Woman. She thinks that Gerda is a new playmate and pursues to hang out with her. I could go on (this story is really long), but from this we have enough to look into.

Winter, Weiss’s sister, is based off the Snow Queen. The reason that Weiss and Winter are sisters is because the story of Snow White is based off of the story the Snow Queen. Since Weiss is looking for Winter (the Snow Queen) in Volume 5, she takes the place of Gerda in this version of the story. She gets picked up by robbers (the Branwen Tribe) led by the Old Robber Woman (Raven Branwen), and meets the Little Robber Maiden (Vernal), who steals her weapon.

Gerda was captured because she was in possession of gold, which could translate to Weiss being taken because of her net worth, and being threatened to be taken back to Atlas for ransom, thus “sending her to the Snow Queen”. Coincidentally, Yang’s appearance is what allowed Weiss to get away from the bandits. The golden heart (Yang) is what helped Gerda (Weiss).

Vernal fights Weiss during the Battle of Haven. This could be a reference to The Robber Maiden wanting to “play” with Gerda, in this instance they’re fighting. We know Weiss loses and that happens, but after being healed by Jaune, summons the Queen Lancer she fought earlier in the volume, representing how the true Snow Queen was inside of her all along.

Vernal’s Weapon: In the story of the Little Robber Maiden, she owns a pet reindeer, who aids Gerda in her quest for the Snow Queen. Vernal’s weapons appear to be deer horn knives, named after their curved shape similar to a deer’s horn. Her weapon may have been inspired by the reindeer from the story.

A girl and her monster. They are all MJ v5.0 or v5.2, but the last two are a rehash of a prompt I used sometime last year. The last two are storybook style. The first is more "painterly photorealistic"—and also a bit terrifying!

This is the prompt for the third image (lower left):

a small girl offers her Raggedy Ann Doll to Shoggoth-Yog-Sothoth, in the style of Edmond Dulac, Jesper Ejsing, Scott Gustafson, Alan Lee, Arthur Rackham, Brian Froud, John Bauer, Jean-Baptiste Monge, --ar 16:9 --v 5.0 --s 750

The fact that Blake Yang and Weiss are all walking forwards / moving up in the intro from V1 to V9, but Ruby in V1 STARTS closest to the front / the viewer and regresses backwards. Thinking about her being there for Jaune, hyping up her team in volume two and their second semester of school. Comforting Penny and being her first friend. She’s there for Oscar always the first in his corner, she helps give Qrow his huge wake up call and her “I’m not leaving without the lamp!” which I loved in V6.

She started out on an 11 in terms of that upbeat / determined protagonist but she’s not Unaware. She’s never been Unaware. After V3 we do see her somber expressions and looking worried but it’s usually if not always when nobody can see her face. Again V4 when she and Jaune are carrying Qrow and she says that Ren and Nora will be fine after they split up. Jaune expresses doubts and it’s only when she turns her head forward again that worry fills her face. She has always put on that brave face even as she grew from naive clumsy new leader of RWBY to kings leading RNJR, friends who are putting their faith in her and Jaune who was meant to be the leader letting her take center stage. Her mother was the leader of STRQ, she has silver eyes and was trusted with so much. She learned so much. Lies unraveled and she had to make up plans and they failed but she kept going. She kept trying.

And then V8 happened. She saw the Hound. We don’t know for certain that Summer was / is now a Hound but if she went off to fight Salem and never came back then that’s what happened to her right? If the best of the best couldn’t do it when she was the proper age to enter Beacon and not some kid who cheated her way in then what makes her think She can do it. She can’t even fight without her weapon and that has gotten her and others into trouble time and time again.

With each big transition (and outfit change for the visuals) the girls have gotten stronger. They have found some part of themselves they have grown in some way. They had lost some insecurity or fear. And while of course this is not the end of their journey, and Yang I am looking at specifically because poor girl thought she was Dead and was pushed into leaving Patch maybe sooner than she was truly ready for, Ruby’s V4–6 self being behind her V1-3 self is so. That’s when she was making the most leader like decisions. Outside of the school setting with adults and vulnerable citizens now needing to be saved or convinced she and her other band of teenagers can save the day. And then the most recent version who Does have a legal huntress license and Did go on actual missions with other trained huntsmen, is the one farthest back and the most lost and scared and miserable.

Up until now Ruby has had the least amount of big character moments compared to her team, but I do not see her as stagnant so much as…. Her cheerful optimism and drive to keep moving forward was once her sincere true ideology and has now become a mask. She has growth as a fighter and a leader but she was not prepared for the gods and Salem. And in a perfect world she would not have to fight this. But she does, and she has not allowed herself to be seen how she truly feels because there’s no room for a little girl to cry and fret and prove those old hurtful true. She cannot Change from the cheerful go getter she started as because the people around her Need that now.

But that hasn’t been who she really was since the fall of Beacon and it’s catching up to her fast. She pushes the bolder up the hill farther than anyone but now it’s fast in its race to flatten her and she is Tired

Never forget at the big Haven fight at the end of V5 when the big bad villainy squad pulled up with Leo that everyone like gave their quick little “fuck you” speeches

And when Jaune was doing his and Qrow was like “yall need to calm down this is tense and we need to be calculated”

And all the kids are just like “yeah Pyrrha negotiated and was chill, that girl dead and we got her killer in the room tho, fuck being calculated Cinder dies today”

They just all pulled out their weapons like “that one-eyed bad arm bad dress lookin ass killed our friend we are not calming down we are in fact escalating”
