Snowfox
- "I'll kill every last NightWing when I get the chance! You'll wake up one day with my claws in your eyes! I'm going to wipe out your whole tribe and leave you until last so you'll know their deaths are all your fault!"
- — Snowfox to Foeslayer when she runs away with Prince Arctic in Runaway.
Template:Charbox Princess Snowfox was the niece of Queen Diamond and the only remaining heir to the IceWing throne during the events of Darkstalker (Legends). She was described to be exceedingly cruel and sarcastic, and Clearsight had seen at least four highly probable futures where she would lead a genocide and succeed in wiping out the entire NightWing tribe as queen, most likely as revenge for what Foeslayer and Arctic did to Snowflake. This knowledge is what kept Darkstalker from killing Queen Diamond. She was mentioned to have a daughter at some point in the future who was destined to inherit the throne. Since Queen Diamond had no other heirs, every member of the royal IceWing family is descended from Snowfox. Snowfox‘s mate, Snowflake, was injured by Foeslayer and Arctic in Runaway, which may have caused tension between the IceWings and NightWings.
Appearance
Snowfox is described as a beautiful white IceWing with a scattering of blue-gray scales across her wings that look like shadows stretching across them[1]. She wears a First Circle necklace with a single circle accessory and has small gems like sapphires embedded in her teeth[2]. She is also described as having glittery, dark blue eyes[3] that can strike terror in her enemies.
Personality
Snowfox is said to move like "a confident predator" who is very cunning and always plotting something. She seems pretty bold like the comparision suggests, as she approached Snowflake almost immediately. She is shown to be manipulative as well, as at first, she was willing to manipulate Snowflake into helping her take the IceWing throne.
Snowfox is also very intelligent, as she schemed with Snowflake on ways to get rid of Arctic and ascend to the throne. She is cruel, as mentioned in Darkstalker (Legends), and brutal. She seeks out NightWing genocide to get revenge on them for what they did to Snowflake's wing.
Biography
In Runaway, Snowfox was first shown approaching Snowflake and talking to her, asking her to call her 'Fox'. She told Snowflake that she had a few ideas if she was interested, and they started to scheme together.
Later on, they believed that Queen Diamond knew about Arctic's plan to meet Foeslayer, and they thought that their plan was ruined. Snowfox promised Snowflake that she wouldn't have to marry him, and they started to try and figure out a way to get Arctic out of the Ice Kingdom.
Snowfox planned on hinting to Arctic that Queen Diamond planned on killing the NightWings, to make Arctic believe that Foeslayer was in danger and make him run away with her.
It was then implied that Snowfox slipped a RainWing sleeping potion to Queen Diamond, which kept her asleep throughout Arctic and Foeslayer's escape from the Ice Kingdom.
Snowfox was with Snowflake when Arctic accidentally ordered spears to kill the IceWings chasing them. Snowflake chased after him, yelling and calling him a monster and claiming that he didn't deserve life or happiness. However, Foeslayer blasted fire towards her, which Arctic caught in his claws and shot down at Snowflake.
Snowfox put out the fire on Snowflake's wing with her frostbreath before swearing vengeance on the NightWings due to her friend's injury and her fellow IceWings' deaths. In Darkstalker (Legends), Clearsight had a vision depicting Snowfox leading a NightWing genocide. This was the prime display of her open hatred of the entire NightWing tribe.
Clearsight mentioned Snowfox after checking all possible paths in the future where Darkstalker killed Queen Diamond. She predicted that the NightWings would most likely face genocide of their entire tribe if Queen Diamond was killed and Snowfox became queen of the IceWings.
Clearsight told Darkstalker not to kill Queen Diamond until Snowfox had her first dragonet that would be fit for the IceWing throne.
