==History ==
===Past ===
Soon after The Lost Continent Prophecy ended, Snowfall (the IceWing queen at the time in 5,012 A.S.) was tried by traditionalist IceWings who preferred the rigid system of Circles and the purpose of traditions in IceWing society after she destroyed the Great Ice Cliff. Snowfall was deemed guilty of betraying the Ice Kingdom and sentenced to life in prison. Soon after Snowfall was sent to her eternal imprisonment in the dungeons of the IceWing palace, a distant relative of the IceWing royal family named Frostbite was placed on the throne and she was the embodiment of what the IceWings were - sticking to traditions, implementing the Circles system, and turned away foreigners at any border of the Ice Kingdom.
Frostbite ruled for around nine years until she married an IceWing noble named Arctic and laid her first clutch of eggs in 5,021 A.S., with Gleam's mother Hyperborean included in the clutch. The clutch hatched one year later in 5,022 A.S., and Hyperborean and her siblings were harshly welcomed into the Ice Kingdom.
Later, in 5,041 A.S., Hyperborean was later married off to a high-ranking IceWing noble named Pole and laid a clutch consisting of two eggs - Gleam and her hatchmate brother, Lemming. One year later in 5,042 A.S., Gleam and Lemming hatched into the royal IceWing family.

==Trivia==
*"Gleam" is a flash or a beam of lightGleam - Dictionary.com.
*Gleam is one of the oldest/first Wings of Fire OCs L1quid has made. She was made when L1quid was first introduced to Wings of Fire by Wings of Fire: The Lost Heir (2013) (when it was initially released). Gleam was originally part of L1quid's old fanfiction series Wings of Fire: Elemental Shift (which initially got L1quid into writing), and was part of a fantribe known as "AwesomeWings", which were based on the Deadly Nadders of How to Train Your Dragon. 
**The appearance of the "AwesomeWings" (Deadly Nadder with jewels on it) was reworked into a Deadly Nadder subspecies (or perhaps an alien version of Deadly Nadders) known as "Jewel Nadders" in 2019.
*Gleam is the main protagonist of Shadow since the only IceWing protagonists in Wings of Fire (Winter and Snowfall) only advanced the plot of their respective arcs and somewhat played a part in fulfilling their respective prophecies. Gleam's book (Shadow) would've tied up the loose threads of Elemental Shift while giving closure to the series and going through a character arc.
**Book Recap: In Winter Turning, Winter frees Foeslayer from the Diamond Caves to locate the old NightWing kingdom, while learning how to accept others based on his own observations and not what others tell him to think. In The Dangerous Gift, Snowfall sets up the events of The Flames of Hope, while also learning "acceptance" through the Ring of Vision after the Pantalan refugees come to Pyrrhia.
