Frostbite
Template:CharboxFrostbite was a female animus IceWing who created the Gift of Light, or the Moon Globe Tree. She was mentioned in Winter Turning and Darkstalker.
It is believed that she was a princess because of how animus dragons were bred into the IceWing royal bloodline, though this has not been proven, and she is referred to as simply "Frostbite" throughout the series.
Personality
Not a lot is known about her. Winter states that she put the most care into her gift to the IceWing tribe of any animus. He then thinks that she got all the details exactly right. She may be like Jerboa of the SandWings, who only wanted the best for her tribe.
Biography
Frostbite is briefly mentioned in the prologue when Prince Arctic says he wants to contribute a meaningful gift that will be remembered, like her Moon Globe Tree.
Winter mentions her as the creator of the Tree of Light, or the Moon Globe Tree, an immortal, animus-enchanted tree carved by claw and then enchanted to grow Moon Globes, which are spheres that glow with light. As dragons enter the IceWing palace, they pick a moon globe to light their way. A new bud then appears in its place. The brightness of the spheres can be adjusted by rotating them, as Winter makes his give off a "sleep-appropriate glow" with one rotation of the moon globe. They can float, usually following the dragon who picked it, by hovering near their shoulder.
In Winter Turning, it is also mentioned that it is supposed to act like a real tree. For this reason, Queen Glory wanted a cutting from it to see if she can grow one in the Rainforest.
It was clear that Frostbite put a lot of thought and time into her gift, such as carving the ice into a tree instead of enchanting it to grow a specific way like most animus dragons would have. An example of this is the fact that the details on the leaves were strikingly similar to real leaves, leading Winter to notice that she must have left the Ice Kingdom to study real trees to make them so life-like. This limited the amount of her soul she would have to spend enchanting the gift, helping preserve her sanity.
Trivia
- Frostbite, according to Winter, put the most effort and care into her animus gift for the tribe.
- Frostbite, Princess Orca, Hawthorn, and Fathom are currently the only dragons who are known for carving objects.
