Snowfall
- "Our whole tribe nearly died and it would have been your fault."
- — Queen Snowfall to the Dragonets of Destiny.
Template:Charbox Queen Snowfall is a young female IceWing who was introduced in Winter Turning and later appeared in Darkness of Dragons. After Queen Glacier's untimely death from a plague spell cast by Darkstalker, Snowfall became the new ruler of the IceWings. She currently resides in her palace. In "The Poison Jungle", we also learn that she is a very paranoid and anxious queen due to Darkstalker attempting to kill her entire tribe.
Personality
In Winter Turning, Snowfall was noted by Winter to be sarcastic, condescending, and smug. She becomes jealous of anyone else placed higher than her in the IceWing rankings, and was expressed to be "abundantly blessed with mean smugness" by Winter. In Darkness of Dragons, she was furious when her mother died and swore vengeance on the NightWings. As a result of the plague Darkstalker sent that killed Queen Glacier and began her reign, she is described by Jerboa to be paranoid and perpetually anxious, and thus hard to deal with.
Biography
While Winter scans the rankings of the IceWings in the First Circle, he notices that Snowfall has moved to the top position on the dragonet side (first place in the First Circle), in front of Lynx, who was in second place. When Winter is moved to take her spot, she shoots him a nasty glare that says that she hates someone else being in first place. When the IceWing dragonets are dismissed, Snowfall stays to congratulate him sarcastically and to stare at the rankings, along with Hailstorm, "as if she could reshape them with the sheer force of her eyeballs," clearly meaning that she was upset about the new rankings.
When Darkstalker enchants a scroll to tell the news of the IceWings, it was revealed that Queen Glacier is dead, and Snowfall has become the new queen, and she brings the entire IceWing army to Jade Mountain to fight the newly super-powered NightWings.
Snowfall, Hailstorm, and Narwhal are shown demanding the Jade Mountain staff to tell them where Darkstalker is, which they didn't know. Winter shows up and she is shocked, looking at Hailstorm as if expecting him to disappear, then demanding to know how Winter is alive. Winter exclaims that it's not important and begins helping his friends attempt to convince her not to fight the NightWings. Before she can consider, NightWing scouts with gifts of speed appear and begin attacking, throwing the discussion away and officially beginning the battle. Narwhal is killed while blocking the NightWings from her, but Snowfall keeps relatively calm throughout the battle and launches frostbreath attacks of her own. She was later teleported back to the Ice Kingdom along with the other IceWings, due to Anemone's spell.
In the epilogue, it is mentioned that Snowfall wanted to close the borders and isolate the Ice Kingdom but reconsiders this after she receives large amounts of letters from her own tribe requesting to attend Jade Mountain Academy.
In the epilogue, Snowfall and Jerboa have a meeting outside of Great Ice Cliff. Snowfall's scouts have spotted hundreds of dragons on their way to Pyrrhia. She demands that Jerboa extends the Ice Cliff to prevent the "invaders" from taking her kingdom. (She's very paranoid after the plague that killed Queen Glacier and the majority of her tribe.) Jerboa tells her that animus magic isn't currently working for anyone on the continent. Snowfall becomes enraged and storms off, concluding the epilogue.
