Bio:
Born and raised in the Sky-Hog icewalker barbarian tribe in the far North, Snow once had a name, and a life on Creation. She fought amid snow drifts, slew vicious beasts and ferocious warriors, and ate around fires with her kin. Then, during one particularly dangerous ice storm, the woman who would be Snow disappeared. She was presumed dead and forgotten.
In Yu Shan, however, this woman attempted to understand what was happening to her. Her world had been survival, and blood, and ice. Now it was light, and tall buildings, and wondrous creatures beyond her wildest imaginings, and magic. Her integration was...not easy. Though she Exalted at the raw age of 15, it took her almost half a decade to really acclimate to the idea that there might be more to existence than storms and beasts. When she was taught more comprehensive languages than what she had arrived with, she chose the name "Snow" as a joke. After all, in her tongue, there was no such simple term for all of the different kinds of cold.
Snow has spent ten years studying and learning. Even with her Exalted spark, the educational gap betweenwhat she knew and what she needed to know to function as an agent of Heaven was vast. Under spirits and Sidereal mentors, the barbarian studied procedure, history, occultism, the arts of war, and many other things. This eventually brought her to a point that she could perform her duty competently, and the elder Sidereals felt as if she was worth the time to recruit.
Unfortunately for Chejop, she had already been long since scouted by one First Lie of the Beneficient Storm. A prominent Gold Faction supporter, Lies had subtly colored her recap of First Age history in a way that would make Snow amicable to indoctrination. In almost no time, she had become a soldier of the rest of the gold stars, handling paperwork and ground-pounding when necessary. Her influence and experience is limited, and she seems content to subsist in this state for now.
An area where she applies herself much more thoroughly is the Convention of Air. Snow is a diligent worker in keeping the North running smoothly, and tries her hardest not to let her (mild, at best) faction loyalty from interfering with her duty. She does, of course seem to turn a conspicuously blind eye to Yurgen Kaneko's activities, which has landed her in some mild disfavor with the bronze stars that work in that convention.
Appearance:
Snow is a moderately tall, muscular woman with pale Northern skin. Her eyes are as red as her short hair, the mark of her Sidereal nature. Beneath her armor, her skin is painted in scars. Snow has an attachment to leather, and often wears a stylish and functional long coat. Her expression seems perpetially locked in a devilish smirk. She's known to wear spectacles, though her eyesight seems fine, so they may be fake.
Snow's Daiklave, Baiten's Sorrow, resembles a bastard sword more than an arming sword. Its compound core is coated in a starmetal finish, perfectly reflecting the light of the night sky and shimmering with ethereal mystique. The straps on the back of her buff jacket clasp it lovingly whenever she needs to holster it and release without issue when she needs it drawn.
Potential Plot Hooks:
- Snow was born and raised an icewalker barbrian of the now lost Sky-Boar tribe. She still maintains contact with a few barbarian tribes, particularly the Blood-Elk tribe, and in general the icewalkers sometimes whisper about legends that she may or may not have started while under a Resplindent Destiny. None know her by name...or even know that she has a name.
- Like many Gold Faction Sidereals, Snow is known to work with the Cult of the Illuminated to arm newly-Exalted Solars with the skills and knowledge they need to survive in the world. As a low-ranking Sidereal with few other skills, she's frequently called on to teach swordplay to those who need to defend themselves.
