Age: 28

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: He's a basic purple color, with an orange mane and tail. He wears red glasses, and has jet black hooves. He's not small as far as ponies go; but not so big as to be threatening. His cutie mark is a cloud dropping several snowflakes.

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a cloud with little snowflakes coming out of it. He grew up on a farm in the northern parts of the world, and therefore had to grow crops through cold temperatures... and often snow. His special talent is working with snow to better his life-- like, for example, creating a kind of ice-den around his fields, so that light can get through but his plants don't become buried in snow.

Personality: He's pretty much an average Joe: he doesn't have hot flashes where he flips out and kills everyone, he isn't super-shy. He's polite to new ponies, but loosens up once you get to know him. He's a grammar Nazi as well; he likes things to be done right and for ponies to be right. If somepony gets their facts wrong, he won't hesitate to correct them. All for the "good of the world," of course. He detests violence, and is pretty wimpy when it comes to fighting; but he is by no means physically weak.

Backstory: He grew up on a little farm just outside Manehattan, far north of Ponyville. The woods outside his family's plot of land were home to a pack of wolves; they often tried to steal his family's crops and livestock. So, Snow's father and older brother would go out wolf hunting. But Snow hated the violence, and wouldn't ever go out with the two. One day, though, there was a giant raid on his farm, and his father and brother killed every last living creature in the forest, and burnt the whole thing to the ground. Snow was so enraged by the violence that he set fire to their house for revenge, and ran away.<br /><br />But a week later, he was sitting in a diner when the story appeared on the local news. His mother and baby sister had been killed in the fire, and the authorities thought he had died as well. The whole place was burnt completely to ash, with no remains left of anything. Snow flipped out and started running, and as of now he's still walking around, trying to find someplace to settle down.
