Winter Branwen



Strange as their relationship may have been, in time Winter and Qrow grew close enough for her to end up with his child. They married shortly after the discovery, and throughout her pregnancy both were incredibly happy.



However, when the predicted date drew close, Qrow grew anxious. He feared the effect that his semblance could cause on childbirth, and suggested that he remain at home until two or three days afterwards.



Winter refused. Under no circumstances was she going through this without him, and when their child first opened her eyes, she would see both of them, together.

With the utmost reluctance, Qrow agreed and stayed by her side, still afraid of what could occur...



Winter passed away mere minutes after the delivery, though fortunately her daughter was safe. Friend's and family's insistence that his misfortune wasn't the cause fell on deaf ears.



Qrow carefully lifted up his beautiful, healthy daughter, and placed her in the arms of her Godparents, Ruby and Weiss.

"Her name... is Winter." Qrow whispered, before leaping out an open window and flying away.



For Ruby and Weiss, raising a child was a challenging, seemingly impossible task. Yet with care, and the usually capable help of Tai and Yang, they raised her well, together. A Huntress in training.



Qrow's friends and family would still hear from him now and then, even see him on rare occasions. But never his daughter, for he couldn't risk the life of another Winter.
