Princess Sleet

Princess Sleet was a female IceWing dragonet princess, one of Queen Glacier's daughters and a supporting character in How to Train Your Wings of Fire, a How to Train Your Dragon and Wings of Fire crossover written by HTTYDPokemonFan under the username ReptileGirl497 on Fanfiction.net. She was killed during a failed attempt to escape the SkyWing prison.
== Appearance ==
Sleet had icy blue scales, white spikes, and dark blue eyes.
== Personality ==
When first meeting the Dragonets of Destiny, Sleet appeared to be snobbish and grumpy, with a hatred of NightWings. However, when she learned of their status, her attitude immediately changed, and she revealed herself to be respectful and nice, as well as a believer in The Dragonet Prophecy. According to herself, the reason for her being so snappy was a result of being a prisoner in the Sky Kingdom for so long, and having to deal with Marmoset and Mango's ramblings while they were caged next to her. This could indicate that Sleet was easily stressed.
Sleet was proud to be a princess and seemed to want the throne, given her mentioning that she might be queen when Windracer and his friends fulfilled the prophecy. She was confident and commanding, taking charge and giving orders to the dragonets during their escape attempt.
Unlike most IceWings, Sleet held no true ill will towards the NightWings, which was likely caused by her accidental discovery of Queen Diamond's personal diary, which revealed her reasons for starting the war between the two tribes. She even appeared to be irked at the fact that the tribes were basically "squabbling over a big, fat lie."
Sleet proved herself to be selfless and brave by risking her life to help Windracer and his friends escape. Queen Glacier mentioned that Sleet always put the needs of others before her own. She also seemed to be flirtatious, or even a hopeless romantic, as she shamelessly flirted with Windracer, regardless of whether or not he felt the same way about her.
== Biography ==
=== Pre-Series ===
Princess Sleet and her cousins Prince Hailstorm and Prince Winter were traveling through the Sky Kingdom in search of a rumored nearby scavenger den, with Prince Frost guarding them. However, they were ambushed by fourteen SkyWing soldiers, and although they intended to take them all to Scarlet, Hailstorm managed to convince them to release Winter. The SkyWings take Sleet, Hailstorm and Frost prisoner and bring them to the SkyWing palace. Winter was left behind as a messenger to run back and tell Queen Glacier so Hailstorm, Sleet and Frost could be used as ransom. The three IceWings were then taken to the SkyWing palace, where Frost made a deal with Queen Scarlet that if he won enough battles in her arena, Sleet would be set free.
=== How to Train Your Wings of Fire ===
The Dragonets of Destiny encountered Sleet during their attempt to escape the Sky Kingdom before Queen Scarlet's hatching day celebration. She acted hostile, but calmed down when she learned their identities. Windracer used his fire to free her from her chains, during which Sleet started to flirt with him.
Their escape attempt was interrupted by the arrival of Queen Scarlet and her guards, among them Scorch and Inferno, Windracer's uncle and cousin, respectively. Scarlet ordered her guards to capture the dragonets to stop them from escaping, during which Sleet was fatally stabbed by a spear. Windracer comforted Sleet as she died, an event that left him traumatized.
Windracer mentioned Sleet the next day during his fight against Frost, in which he tried to explain that Sleet was dead, but Frost didn't believe him until he overhead Queen Scarlet mentioning Sleet's death to taunt Windracer. Frost then killed Scarlet, believing she was responsible for his sister's death, and left Windracer unharmed on the grounds that Sleet would have wanted it.
Princess Sleet was mentioned several times later as Windracer recounted how he could have used his animus magic to save her life. He described her death as "his first failure", before he changed his mind.
When Windracer met Queen Glacier in Possibility, he affirmed Prince Hailstorm's claim that Sleet was dead and explained the circumstances of it to her. He later attended Sleet's funeral, during which he gave a eulogy for the IceWing princess.
At the peace summit, Windracer thought of Sleet after Ember was bitten by a dragonbite viper. The memory of Sleet's death motivated him to use his magic to save Ember's life, giving him the closure and redemption he needed.
In the epilogue, Windracer mentioned Sleet as one of the dragons who didn't survive to see the end of the War of SandWing Succession.
== Relationships ==
=== Queen Glacier ===
Sleet seemed to think highly of her mother, bragging about her to Marmoset and Mango while they were chained up together. While dying, she told Windracer to let Queen Glacier know what had happened to her and that no harm would come to him if she knew the truth.
=== King Windracer ===
Sleet initially seemed to hate Windracer for being half NightWing, but she quickly changed her tone upon realizing that he was a Dragonet of Destiny. She apologized for snapping at him, which she blamed on herself being stir-crazy. Sleet thought Windracer was cute, and flirted with him throughout their escape attempt, though it's uncertain whether she knew or cared that he didn't return her feelings. Sleet viewed Windracer as a friend, enough so that she saved his life at the cost of her own, and believed that he would end the war.
