Biography

Moon Rising

He went to the Jade Mountain Academy with his sister, Icicle. He first approaches Moon when threatening her after she had caught his scavenger. Qibli later pops in to negotiate. Moon warns Winter about the explosion in the history cave, but Winter threatens to tell everyone that Moon caused the explosion unless she told him how she foresaw it. He then was very surprised when Icicle told him that his brother,Hailstorm, is alive. He seems to not understand Moon, because sometimes he appears to find her interesting and kind, and sometimes thinks she is "like all other NightWings", being mysterious and untrustworthy. He hates Nightwings, because they killed all the IceWing prisoners of Queen Scarlet, including (as he mistakenly believes) his brother Hailstorm. He is constantly comparing himself to his brother. Moonwatcher mentions that he hates himself more than anyone else.

Winter Turning

Coming soon, June 31th

Personality

Winter, to the common eye, is brash, cold, short-tempered, and arrogant. However, underneath he actually hates and criticizes himself more than anyone else for getting his brother Hailstorm captured by the SkyWings, and he appears to have a crush on Moonwatcher, although to hide this he tries to act arrogant and proud, although he let this act down a few times. He can be a bit snobbish, and believes he should get special privileges for being Queen Glacier's nephew. As Moonwatcher reads his mind, she seems to feel a flurry and she finds him mind to cold.

Relationships

Moonwatcher

He first meets Moon when she finds his scavenger, Bandit, after he escaped. He immediantly demanded his scavenger back and said he would slice her face off if she didn't give him back. She eventually gave Bandit back after a long argument. Winter seems to not completly understand Moon because he sometimes thinks she's kind and friendly and sometimes he thinks she's "like all NightWings", being mysterious and untrustworthy. He seems to have a crush on her but hides it well.

Qibli

He is Winters' claw-mate and friend. He seems to have a similar crush on Moon. When Winter was hassling Moon about Bandit he stepped in and tried to help the situation. He was their by Winter's side most of the time in the books and was always their to stop him from hurting someone(especially Moon).

Quotes

"You have ten seconds to give me back my scavenger, before I slice your face off."

"Hailstorm is alive?"

"What is wrong with you? Some of kind of NightWing seizure?"

"Moon what? Come on, NightWing. We know your names are all lies. So what's yours? Moondestroyer? Mooneater? Mooncrusher?"

"Get your teeth anywhere near Bandit and you will lose them."

"I only mentioned it because it seems entirely obvious to me that the niece and nephew of the IceWing queen should each be given a private cave, so I wanted you to know we wouldn't have to be clawmates for very long, as there has clearly been some kind of mistake."

"That is exactly how I feel about it."

"By all the snow monsters! What are you doing here?"
