**LittleSnow** *(小雪精, Xiao Xue Jing)* first appeared in Core Awaken ~Yuka~ as an enemy boss and eventually a playable character. She later becomes one of the two titular protagonists in Core Awaken ~Jilelen and LittleSnow~.

## Appearance

LittleSnow's overall appearance was meant to mirror her past human self, so her cybernetic form had all the relevant cosmetic features applied, among them blonde hair and green eyes.

Her first E-Coat clothing set consisted of a light blue fur hat that had a ruby brooch accent and matching thick winter coat, a navy blue skirt and a similarly-colored bolero, black sheer tights and light blue snow boots. She also sidled along a brown shoulder bag.

During the Crimson Dungeon expedition, she retained her old boots and tights, but changed her other E-Coat article settings to a coonskin cap adorned with a ribbon, a striped shirt under a quarter-sleeved parka with a necktie accessory and shorts. She also started carrying a small red backpack that resembles a *randoseru*, which is a traditional Japanese elementary school bag.

## Personality & Character

LittleSnow retains the childlike innocence and mannerisms she had as a human. She is for all intents and purposes still the same person, albeit with a cybernetic body.

Though her ego and motor functions have fully acclimated, her brain's other aspects *(particularly temperature stimuli)* have yet to get used to the artificial physique. As a result, she experiences minor maladies like colds from time to time, which bothers her to the point of harboring somewhat of an inferiority complex over *"not being a complete robot"*.

## Skills & Abilities

LittleSnow's body frame is made of a significantly tough alloy which gives her sufficient strength to wield her signature hammer weapon. However, she never seems able to keep it held up for an extended period of time while walking and usually drags it along the ground.

True to her namesake, LittleSnow has the ability to generate snow orbs and ice crystals that served as her secondary weapons. She starts using this skill sparingly during the Crimson Dungeon expedition probably because it still confuses her system's temperature stimuli, even more so now that she no longer wears winter clothes as an E-Coat. She stores the processed snow and ice in disposable containers, utilizing them only when needed.

LittleSnow has working knowledge on how to handle various kinds of chemicals due to her stint as a lab assistant, ranging from regenerative compounds to explosives. She can also amplify the effect of amulets, making them work not only on herself, but also others around.

Along with Jilelen, LittleSnow underwent DNA fusion experiments, giving her Trance abilities. As a cat, she can see in the dark, grip walls and jump from them. In rabbit form, LittleSnow can perform a second jump in midair. She will later gain *"Devil"* genes which temporarily multiplies her frame strength tenfold, allowing almost limitless hammer swings.

Though LittleSnow also received the dog genes, her body did not react to it, presumably rejected by her brain.

## History

A young girl lost her life following a terrorist attack in Urat.

Her bereaved parents turned to the biotechnology authority Dr. Rimu to hopefully resurrect her. Using the *"Revival Robot 2.0"* procedure co-developed with Ma Jing Ling, the girl's brain was successfully transplanted into a working cybernetic body and completely reformed in her exact likeness after 2 years.

The parents however, having accepted the loss by that time, refused to believe that their child had returned; thinking that Rimu just fashioned a fake automaton shell that resembled their late daughter. Crushed by her parents' denial, the girl cried in despair and reluctantly cut all ties with them. She assumes the name '*Xiao Xue Jing' (Little Snow Spirit, or LittleSnow for short)* and was taken in as Rimu's assistant.

Some time later, LittleSnow was assaulted by an escaped tentacle monster specimen. As a lab assistant, she felt responsible for the sample running amok and dreaded Rimu's ire more than the monster attack. LittleSnow ran away from the biotechnology lab, becoming part of the robot rebels led by the cyber-enigma Finn after being convinced that she doesn't need to continue taking orders from humans anymore. She then accompanied a battalion of berserker automatons and invaded the capital. They scattered snow machines all over the area, turning it into a frozen wasteland which she considered *"her secret base"*.

Yuka eventually knocked some sense into her. LittleSnow later found out from Dr. Wellie that the escaped sample was intentionally let loose by Rimu, meant to prank the little lab assistant. This upsets LittleSnow, so she volunteers to help in ending the Core Rebellion, refusing to face Rimu until then.

The two make up around the closing moments of the conflict. Along with Jing Ling, Rimu and LittleSnow set up a research expedition camp outside the Crimson Dungeon. Their primary objective is collect as many creature DNA samples as possible, as Rimu believes that they may hold the key for giving robots the gift of conception. Though it was not a formal exploration in the beginning, LittleSnow accompanied Rimu in the Crimson Dungeon from time to time for specimen procurement. They later ran into the smartphone robot Jilelen, who was out to uncover the hidden magic powers deep within the ruins. LittleSnow and Jilelen eventually became exploration partners after the latter was talked into joining the research team.

## Notes & Trivia

* In Core Awaken ~Yuka~, LittleSnow's initials in the save file are displayed as "SS", which is either presumably based on the phonetic reading of her original Chinese name *"Xiao Xue"* *(Shao Shue)* or her body's model name *"sosei"*.
* Many people mistakenly read LittleSnow's original name in Japanese Kanji, calling her *"Koyuki Sei"*. This was eventually clarified in the third game, with Rimu's introduction giving the transliteration in Traditional Chinese as seen in the Japanese script.
* LittleSnow holds the distinction of being the only rebellion participant who did not experience Core Awakening since she does not have a robotic core by default. She retained her emotional facilities as a human even after transitioning to a cybernetic body.
* If LittleSnow is mobilized to fight Jilelen in Core Awaken ~Yuka~, LittleSnow will mention her origin in passing to the smartphone robot and the latter will remark on it being a major trait found in fictional heroes. Jilelen will then proclaim herself the rival slash villain for their confrontation.
* LittleSnow doesn't have any underwear beneath her tights for some reason. This is seen when she loses her E-Coat in the second game, and can also be confirmed in the clothes toggling option from the original R-18 version of the third game.
