Table of Contents
Nicknames: Sneg Paren'
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species/Race: Snow Child
Where they reside: Port Town, though was born in Ashwick's Woods
I kinda' liked a girl I knew,
Story Summary
Likes: Mortal humans, cute shepherd boys, winter sports, sunflowers (although he has only ever seen pictures, as he stays inside throughout summer), lyre music, friendly pine trees that wish him a safe journey and a happy life
Dislikes: Warm weather, salt, fire,
Any special traits or habits/quirks: Ivan smiles at everybody. He also talks in an overly formal way, as he hasn't spent much time associating with humans. When he's stressed he'll run his hand through his hair. His voice is very friendly and childish; he was, after all, created to be the perfect child for parents unable to conceive. He can also talk to pine trees.
Fears: Warmth, fire, and being turned back into snow or anything else - he likes living a human life.
She was mine and we were sweethearts,
The Story
If they happened upon a fairy godmother, what would they wish for?: To be able to know warmth without melting
Personality: Ivan craves company. He's lived inside his whole short life. However, as he is unable to feel love and has a distinct lack of experience when it comes to acting around other people, he has not been able to fully master most types of human interaction. He can be very cold towards people at times without meaning to, and can be quite cruel without knowing it. He just acts how he wants without really thinking about how it affects other people. He doesn't fully understand the subtleties of human communication yet; he will make his feelings about people very clear to them and others, and will often put things very bluntly. He can also come off as fairly shy sometimes, as he knows how poor his social skills are and is nervous about it. Really, though, he only has good intentions and wants to make friends.
Unable to feel love, Ivan feels a void inside himself, and he tries to fill this with mundane hobbies. He's taken up knitting, learnt some simple magic tricks, has tried his hand at small woodworking projects [he's made a birdhouse, a chopping board and a set of matryoshka dolls], and enjoys caring for house plants.
Story/History: Ivan is the son of Spring and Winter, who appeared to a childless couple who, one winter, built a boy out of snow, which came to life as a blessing. His new parents were very grateful for him and couldn't have loved him more, but became concerned when he chose to stay inside all the time instead of going out to play with the other children. They have just recently convinced him to start going outside and socialising. He becomes very ill and weak when it is warm, and if he were ever to love, his heart would warm and he would melt.
Roleplay Sample:
First he could see. Hazily at first, but quickly everything became crystal clear. There were two old humans standing in front of him. Ivan gasped as he suddenly felt icy blood shoot through his veins. He tasted the sharp, frosty air on his tongue. There were so many sensations, all happening at once, and he didn't know what to make of them. He stared at his trembling white hands and touched his cheek with one. His skin was frozen, but soft. He felt a smile tug at his lips.
He looked back at the old couple before him with his twingling violet eyes. He knew what his purpose was when he looked at them. They had stepped away a bit and were huddling close together. They looked scared. He had no idea why. He gave them a broad smile and took a step forward.
"Good day, kind folk, do not be afraid!" he appealed. He watched his breath create small hot mists in the cold air as he spoke, fascinated. He drew his brocade cape around himself before speaking again. He was surprised by how sure of himself he sounded. "I have been sent to be your son. I will be a good son,, the joy of your old age. I will honour you as father and mother."
…that was then but then it's true!

I can't love in this fairytale, it's not something I've felt, 'cause I don't care if I lose my mind, but I don't want to melt.
