Snowflake
Template:SpoilerTemplate:Infobox CharacterSnowflake is a female IceWing in the first circle who was intended to be Prince Arctic's fiancée. She is described to be pretty in a boring, glassy way with silvery-white scales like the moon, the way Queen Diamond liked. She is mentioned by Arctic to be "incredibly boring, unmemorable, and to have almost no personality." Indeed, Arctic once considered creating an animus-touched object that would make any dragon interesting while speaking to him. It is also mentioned that she may be hiding her true personality and be just as unexcited about their match as he is. She also may have been angry at Arctic for constantly forgetting her name. This is also later shown in Runaway, where it is confirmed that her personality is that of "repressed anger".
Personality
Snowflake is at first shown to be very quiet and respectful. She is thought to be boring and uninteresting by Arctic in Darkstalker (Legends). However, in Runaway, she is given more depth to her personality
Secretly, Snowflake is always angry. It frustrates her even more when she realizes that no one can see that she is unhappy. However, she is forced to stick to strict rules that were enforced on her since she was a dragonet. She is shown to actually hate Arctic strongly. Snowflake is constantly weary, as she constantly has to deal with "First Circle Traps" that often tests both her body and her mind. She is not very good at defending herself in arguments and thinking of sharp, craftily worded rebuttals.
Princess Snowfox is the only dragon that knows what Snowflake is truly like.
Snowflake appears in the prologue of Darkstalker (Legends) informing Arctic that his presence is required in a diplomatic meeting with the NightWings. She may have been upset because he couldn't remember her name. After Arctic grumpily follows her to the meeting (much to her relief) Arctic suddenly remembers her name and the fact that they are engaged, though he keeps the latter fact to himself so as to not seem like an idiot. As they ventured to where the NightWing diplomats were waiting for them, Arctic asks Snowflake what gift she would give the tribe if she were an animus. She replies that she doesn't know, and after Arctic commands her to think about it and tell him soon to which she responds to brusquely saying "Seems like kind of a waste of my time, unless you are having trouble coming up with yours." This shuts Arctic up and they go out to the balcony, where they meet Foeslayer trying to keep herself warm while watching the sunset. Artic eventually annoys Snowflake into leaving. The NightWing, who eventually (and unintentionally) introduces herself, taunts Arctic about not being able to remember his own fianceé's name.
Snowflake is one of the three main characters in the E-book, Runaway. She first appears in the very first chapter, watching Foeslayer and Prince Arctic slightly jealously.
Later on in the book, it is explained that she was chosen by Queen Diamond to be Prince Arctic's mate because she was very quiet, and Diamond was hoping that her quiet and submissive traits would pass on to her dragonets.
Her and Princess Snowfox meet and talk about things that they can do to help rid Snowflake of Arctic and help Snowfox ascend to the throne. While they scheme and plan, they become close friends.
When Arctic was escaping with Foeslayer, Prudence, Starclaws, and Discretion, Foeslayer blasted fire at Snowflake. Arctic caught the ball of fire in his hands and sent it flying at Snowflake, who suffered severe burns to her one of her wings. Luckily, Snowfox was able to put out the fire on her wing, but it may have impaired her permanently.
