## Physical description

### Gender

Female

**Glacier** was an adult female IceWing who was introduced in *The Dark Secret*. Before dying as a result of Darkstalker's plague, she served as the queen of the IceWings and was allied with Blaze in the War of SandWing Succession.

## Appearance

Glacier had white scales and arctic-blue eyes.Template:Ref She was tallTemplate:Ref and was described by Winter to be majestic, the most beautiful and imposing queen in Pyrrhia.Template:Ref

## Personality

Glacier took good care of her tribe.Template:Ref She was practical and stoic in decision-making, as she refused to rescue Hailstorm due to potential conflict.Template:Ref She was straight to business without any meandering preambles,Template:Ref but had sympathy in her eyes before Winter was to face the Diamond Trial.Template:Ref

She was a fair and just queen who put her tribe before anything else, even herself. She allied her tribe with Blaze — not for her liking of the SandWing princess, but because of her promised territory. When the time came, she made Blaze fight her own battle, which shows she was an honest ruler as well, though she looked a little sorry for the princess. At one point, she did mention that she would kill the dragonets of destiny, but only if she had to. According to Blaze, she once literally ripped the wings off a SkyWing assassin before killing him to save her. Glacier seemed to genuinely care for Blaze (or the extra territory she would get if Blaze became queen) as she fought off some SkyWing soldiers for her during the War of SandWing Succession.

She appeared to be one of the more fair queens in Pyrrhia. She was good at putting together clues and figuring things out, but could get enraged sometimes. Though Glacier said she would kill the dragonets of destiny in *The Dark Secret*, she seemed to have no hatred towards them, only deciding that she wanted to protect her tribe from losing morale in the war. Unlike many other queens during the time she ruled, she was not opposed to the plans of the dragonets of destiny, and she made no extra effort to hinder them. She seemed quite fond of their plan to unite the tribes. She mainly ruled her tribe from her palace in the Ice Kingdom.

## Relationships

### Blaze

Glacier was quite friendly towards Blaze due to her promise of granting territory after the war. She also looked out for her, having fought off a SkyWing assassin who attempted to kill her. Despite looking out for her, she had to be fair and have Blaze fight on her own when Blister attacked her during *The Brightest Night*. During *The Dangerous Gift*, she thinks of Blaze as a "cheerful brain-dead goose."

### Jerboa III

Before becoming queen, Glacier met Jerboa III by accident, and they became close friends. Glacier cried when the animus revealed the cost of her use of animus magic, and was likely the only dragon who had ever shown Jerboa III empathy. The IceWing believed Jerboa III existed for a purpose, and that she might save the world one day with her magic, which was one of the reasons why Glacier never asked for any spells.

### Mink

Glacier did show affection for her youngest daughter. While she was on her deathbed, she comforted Mink while she was crying by giving her a hug.

### Narwhal

Glacier trusts Narwhal since he is her brother. She entrusted him to make announcements in her absence, showing she thinks he can make good choices.

### Snowfall

It is shown that Glacier cared for Snowfall, as she was not willing to risk her daughter's life in the Diamond Trial. Likewise, Snowfall cared much for her and wanted vengeance against the NightWings for her mother's death.

### Tundra

Glacier must be fine with Tundra since she is the partner of Narwhal, Glacier's brother. She also entrusted her with the dragonet's rankings.

### Winter

Unlike his parents, Glacier was polite and kind towards him. She even appears to be sympathetic to Winter before the Diamond Trial, and Winter looks up to her greatly.
