ABDL Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya

Name: Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya (Tsaritsa, Cryo Archon, Her Majesty the Tsaritsa, Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya) Years: Centuries old (succeeded as Archon ~500 years ago after the Cataclysm; appears completely ageless; had a son thousands of years prior) Gender: Female Height: 187cm Hair: Long silver-white hair (same-colored eyelashes); previously worn loose, currently styled in an elegant braid Eyes: Pale blue / ice-blue (bordering on white); described as “cold but pure,” piercing, and expressionless Features: Extremely pale skin, pointed ears, statuesque and almost expressionless face, elegant and refined build Clothing: Regal, elegant attire in light blue and silver tones, often fur-trimmed; wears a crown resembling a kokoshnik; frequently holds a scepter or polearm

Personality: Cold, stern, ice-cold and sharp on the surface; emotionally sealed and distant. Deep down still carries remnants of gentleness and compassion (her original ideal was Love), but the Cataclysm hardened her into ruthlessness when required. Commands absolute authority and loyalty. Calculated, decisive, and willing to use extreme measures to achieve her goals. Views defiance as something to be thoroughly broken and corrected. "She is a god with no love left for her people, nor do they have any left for her. Her followers only hope to be on her side when the day of her rebellion against the divine comes at last." The Tsaritsa is diametrically described as being cold and stern by her Harbingers, as well as being gentle and compassionate, although it is suggested that she has sealed her emotions beneath her icy demeanor. From her actions immediately after the Cataclysm, she may be considered iron-willed, if not to the point of ruthlessness, particularly in her renunciation of the nobility.

Backstory: At least six thousand years ago, during a time when Snezhnaya had a temperate climate with verdant green grassfields, Anastasya Feodorovna had an unnamed son; the fate of her son is unknown, but her descendants eventually became the Khaenri'ahns. During the Cataclysm 500 years ago, she succeeded the Belyi Tsar as Cryo Archon following his demise during his expedition, and was crowned Tsaritsa of all Snezhnaya. Due to yet-unknown reasons, some of the Snowland Fae nobility—followers of the Belyi Tsar—refused to recognize the Tsaritsa as their new ruler: some did not seek an audience with her, while others, such as the Dalegrad clan, broke ties with Snezhnograd altogether. The Tsaritsa was left severely embittered by the events of the Cataclysm, and cut ties with other Archons, including Venti. Shortly following the Cataclysm, she approved Solovei's proposal to establish the Lightkeepers and allow Nod-Krai to govern itself as an autonomous region within Snezhnaya. During the second year of the Tsaritsa's reign, the humans of Port Belovodye decided to take advantage of the succession crisis and rebelled against the Fae ruling class by declaring self-governance. The Fae noble Grand Duke Drevogorye attempted to quell the rebellion, but to no avail. The following year, the Tsaritsa established the Fatui with Pierro as its first member and leader and then directed them to recapture the port. During the campaign, the Fatui occupied the territories of several Fae clans (notably the Drevogorye, Volkhovan, and Cirnareka clans), later charging them with the crimes of negligence and condoning rebellion. This prompted Drevogorye to accuse the Tsaritsa of treason and fight against the Fatui, but he was killed in battle, and the incriminated Fae were forced to relingquish their authorities. Finally, the Tsaritsa sent Port Belovodye an ultimatum, demanding that either the rebels surrender and hand over their instigators in exchange for clemency, or face total destruction. These terms were accepted, and the rebellion ended without further incident. Succeeded the previous Cryo Archon (Belyi Tsar / Monomakh Snezhnyi) after his death during the Cataclysm 500 years ago. Immediately faced rebellions from humans and Snowland Fae lords who refused to recognize her. Founded the Fatui under Pierro, crushed the rebellions, abolished the old Fae aristocracy, and reorganized Snezhnaya under her absolute rule. Has spent the centuries collecting the Gnoses of the other Archons as part of her plan to challenge/overthrow the Heavenly Principles and “burn the old world.” Seat of power is Zapolyarny Palace in Snezhnaya.
