Key Info
Desperate to save her homeland from the ravages of the Mirrored God, a young maiden paid the ultimate price for her people's safety. From dewy, spider's webs she weaved a bridal gown -- then barefoot and cloakless -- and traveled alone into a snowstorm. She invoked the gods of the Sevensix, praying to find salvation in the bitter cold, to become one with the harsh winters that her people believed might stave off the Mirrored God's encroaching forces. Now she is the gentle kiss of cold incarnate, riding on the tail ends of fall. The last defense between the edge of the void and ruin.

Background
Recent History
Eirwen, whispered of as the First Snow's Bride, is in the city-pearl of Cor Ionas to fufill a mission. The Mirrored God is a threat to her people, one that she seeks to answer with force. If she cannot find its weakness in Cor Ionas, she hopes to at least find a place to start.
Early History
Eirwen was raised on an idyllic, wintry pearl that lay close to the void. An icy, forbidding place, the pearl was home only to those too stubborn or poor to live anywhere else. She lived in a small town like many others, with houses of wood and walls of stone. Her upbringing was simple, but full of happiness.
When the Mirrored God's corruption began to creep across the ice, the fish died first, then the birds, then the great beasts of the tundra. Faced with a slow death by starvation or an unspeakable death by void, Eirwen took her fate into her own hands. If she died, let it be by frost, which had always been her constant companion. And if she lived, let it be with the ability to save the people she loved.
The Sevensix answered her plea, honoring her bond with the spirit of winter. She used the fullness of her powers to create a great wall of ice, thick enough to stop the Mirrored God's advance and give her people time to retreat and regroup.
Although her people were grateful for her intervention, after one too many near-disasters caused by her powers, Eirwen decided to set out in search of a way to master her powerful but dangerous blessing, and to find a way to repel the Mirrored God once and for all.
Relationships
Since arriving in Cor Ionas, Eirwen has been a frequent visitor to the Wanders' Bibliotheca. Her icy exterior warmed by their kindness and understanding, Eirwen has become something of an adopted niece to Anthology, the Keeper of the Wanders' Bibliotheca, and Dulce, a Pearl class chef who owns the Kisses of Stars cafe attached to the library. Dutiful and polite, Eirwen works hard to repay her little found family, and can often be found assisting with tasks in the library and cafe in her free time.
