Witch of the Snow

The **Witch of the Snow** is a minor character in **The Warrior Returns**. She is the goddess of the Glacial World and the one responsible for summoning and empowering the **Glaciation Warrior** when her world's demon lord threatens to destroy it.

## History

The Witch of the Snow is the Goddess of the Glacial World and is the one responsible for summoning humans from Earth to become the Glacial Warrior/Hero every time her world’s Demon Lord rises. Having presumably done so since the Demon Lord began terrorizing her world every 100 years.

### 20th Century

During the time of World War I, the Glacial World was once again threatened by its Demon Lord. Leading to the Witch Summoning a new hero/warrior to defeat it and save her world, Ivan Pushkin was the otherworlder summoned and was thus then given powers and abilities by the Goddess to help him in his journey to defeat the Glacial Demon Lord.

Through his efforts, Ivan would grow in power and strength and successfully dispatched her world’s Demon Lord. The Goddess then presumably sent him back to his homeworld of Earth.

### 21st Century

The Glacial World would once again be threatened by the Demon Lord, resulting in the Goddess once again summoning another otherworlder to become the Hero of Glaciation.

However, unlike with Ivan, the current generation Glacial Hero would fail in subjugating the Glacial Demon Lord, leading to the Glacial World’s destruction. Despite this however, the Goddess survived, but was left with no world to oversee.
