- — Mink to Glacier about her sisters, The Dangerous Gift
Mink is a female IceWing dragonet, the daughter of Queen Glacier, and the younger sister of Queen Snowfall and Crystal.
Appearance
Mink is tiny, and her eyes are large and dark blue. Her scales are white with feathery patterns of gray along her wings like whiskers or tufts of fur.[1]
Personality
Mink is often described as a very bubbly, sweet and lovable dragonet. She is shown to be very trusting of dragons in general, and especially adoring of Snowfall. Snowfall said she reminds her of Sky.[2] It was said that she loved everyone considering that she made 'I love you' gifts for all the IceWings.[1]
Biography
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
Icicle wonders whether or not Queen Glacier would accept her back into the Ice Kingdom, as she might appreciate the opportunity to rid Crystal and Mink of a potential competitor for the IceWing throne.
The Lost Continent Prophecy
Mink was first shown in Snowfall's flashback of Glacier choosing Snowfall to be the next IceWing queen and Mink was shown crying. Later she appears with a group of guards. She gifts Snowfall a ice sculpture that looks like a blob but was intended to be a mink, her namesake, and begs for Snowfall to let her into the Queen's rooms because she misses it. Snowfall decides to show her the forbidden treasury because she's the last heir to the IceWing throne.
While Snowfall was in Sanctuary, Tundra and Permafrost made Mink the 'temporary queen' and tried to control her choices. When Snowfall arrives back at the Ice Kingdom, Mink says she hates NightWings and Snowfall discovers the IceWing crown was enchanted by Queen Diamond to make the wearer hate NightWings.
After the crown has been taken to be destroyed, Snowfall takes Mink to see the gift of order and destroys the wall. Snowfall promises to let Mink destroy something the next day and Mink appears excited at this idea.
While Snowfall is asleep Mink appears in Snowfall's vision as Queen Glacier.
Relationships
Mink appears to miss her mother and cries when Glacier is dying. She states that she used to sleep with Glacier when she had trouble sleeping or was scared and she states she misses the room.
When Snowfall explained the Circle Rankings to Mink, she used Polar Bear as an example of how judging a dragon based on their rankings is a biased way of deciding whether a dragon is good or not. Mink defiantly stated that Polar Bear would not be better than her because of better ice-sculpting skills, but repeatedly yelled to him that she loves him anyway when he pokes his head from his window.
She loves her older sister and gives Snowfall one of her ice sculpture presents to show her appreciation, and Snowfall states that her queen's chamber was cluttered with similar presents. Snowfall doesn't care much for Mink at first, but by the end Snowfall is a more loving and caring elder sister and cares more about educating Mink than just leaving the job up to royal tutors. She promises to let Mink use the gift of strength for fun.
