Snow Witch

Lore

Who she is.

She does not chase. She waits. Everything freezes eventually.

Snow Witches are the most patient creatures in the known world, which makes them the most dangerous. Other witches act. They manipulate, they burn, they torment. The Snow Witch watches. She has watched villages build themselves and collapse without intervention. She has outlasted kingdoms. She does not need to hurry because she is quite confident she will still be here when you are not.

Her magic reflects this. It does not explode. It does not ignite. It slows. It accumulates. The frost builds one layer at a time until movement becomes impossible, and by then, you have already lost.

Cinder Witches are frightening. Snow Witches are the ones that haunt you. There is something more terrifying about something that intends to win before it ever starts.

She had lived in the valley for four hundred years. She had watched six generations of the same family farm the same field. She knew the great-great-granddaughter's name before the great-great-granddaughter was born. None of them ever knew she was there. She had not yet decided what she wanted from them.
