## History

Fryst was always a dedicated child, to her parents and to her studies. Though like many she went through a time of distance from her parents. This was when she met Caelum, a boy from a family with low Court standing, but who shared her passion for magic and made her laugh. They conducted their relationship in secret with Fryst on confiding in her closest friend Nimueh. Despite the secrecy her parents did eventually find out about the pair and made their disapproval apparent. To teach her a lesson and ensure her compliance her parents placed a geas on Fryst as punishment. The next time she met Caelum she mortally wounded him and left him for dead. Knowing her parents extreme methods of dealing with disapproval Fryst used magic to try and erase the memory of Caelum from Nimueh so she couldn't be blamed for keeping secrets either, but being new to the type of magic she was using she accidentally wiped her of all of her memories. Not knowing how to fix it and being to afraid to try, Fryst left Nimueh like that, believing her safer that way.

The aftermath of these events left Fryst alone, aside from beneficial acquaintances that would help her status in Court. It showed her that just dealing with her parents abuse wasn't enough, because there was no length too far for them to go. Fryst decided to do as they wished, dedicate herself to the studies of many magics. Anything she could learn she did. No matter how old or impractical the magic may seem. Her mishap with Nimueh led her to have a special interest in magic concerning memories in particular. Though it was not her only focus.

When Talvi was born, Fryst remained impartial to him. Not knowing how her parents might react. As he grew up and proved to be irresponsible and unteachable, she grew more exasperated and disappointed in him. After their parents gave up on him, she dedicated more of her time to trying to whip him into shape. Including convincing Gwyneira's parents to force betrothal onto them. Hoping a solid future in the Winter Court would convince her brother to stop wandering. Eventually even Fryst gave up on Talvi, only caring that he refrain from making their family look bad.

Not long after the birth of her second brother, Zelse, Fryst had enough of their parents and killed them. Leaving her to see to Zelse's education and overseeing his upbringing.

Since the death of her parents Fryst has been the families matriarch. She also tutors young Winter fae regularly, when not attending Court. Fryst believes in the strength of the Winter Court and everything she does is because she believes it strengthens the Court.
