Winter

cautious.[25] According to Hailstorm, he was very amusing and a lot more fun to tease than their sister Icicle; Hailstorm wished that Winter could relax.[25] When Hailstorm was captured by the SkyWings, Winter blamed himself heavily and considered his decision to escape as cowardly.[26] He once described his feelings as simultaneously furious, trapped, frustrated, grateful, safe, alone, on fire, wanting the wrong things, hating himself, and confused.[27] He has been described as hostile,[28] strong,[29] loyal,[30] cold, standoffish,[31] determined,[32] courageous,[33] dignified,[34] fierce,[35] curious,[36] sarcastic, arrogant,[37] stubborn,[38] tortured, heroic,[18] irritable,[39] sharp-minded, haughty,[40] harsh,[41] and grumpy.[42] Nearly everything he says sounds sarcastic, but he is sometimes quite sincere,[43] and he becomes open-minded and reasonable later in his development;[2] Winter is shiny,[1] silvery, and immaculate,[2] with smooth, untouched,[3] glittering,[4] pale blue scales the color of a frozen lake. His scales have also been described to appear silver,[5] icy blue, and snow-[6]white,[4] like overlapping shards of ice[7] that become darker along his spine and the edges of his wings.[8] He has dark[9] or pale[10] eyes that are as blue as arctic oceans,[11] silver-blue wings,[12] and razor-sharp silver claws.[13] He wears a small wolfskin pouch tied to one of his ankles[14] that contains a small skyfire stone.[15] He is smaller in size than Pyrite,[16] but broader than Qibli.[17] He is handsome[18] and dashing, with a soulfully tragic face[19] and a gruff voice.[20] He has a moon-pale shape,[21] pointed elbows,[22] and flashing silver scales.[23] Moonwatcher describes him to be frighteningly beautiful, with horns like deadly icicles and sharp spikes at the end of his whip-thin tail.[24]
