Biography[]
The Jade Mountain Prophecy[]
Moon Rising |
---|
Mink was indirectly mentioned when Icicle wondered whether or not Queen Glacier would accept her back into the Ice Kingdom, as she might appreciate the opportunity to rid Crystal, Mink, and Snowfall of a potential competitor for the IceWing throne. |
The Lost Continent Prophecy[]
The Dangerous Gift |
---|
Mink was in Snowfall's flashback of Glacier choosing Snowfall to be the next IceWing queen and was shown crying. Later she was talking to a group of guards. She gifted Snowfall an ice sculpture that looked like a blob but was intended to be a mink, her namesake, and begged Snowfall to let her into the queen's room because she missed it. Snowfall decided to show her the Forbidden Treasury because she was the only heir to the IceWing throne other than Crystal, who was missing. While Snowfall was in Sanctuary, Tundra and Permafrost made Mink the 'temporary queen' and tried to control her choices. When Snowfall arrived back at the Ice Kingdom, Mink said she hated NightWings and Snowfall discovered the IceWing crown was enchanted by Queen Diamond to make the wearer hate NightWings. When Snowfall suggested destroying it, Mink was in support, saying the crown made her head hurt. After the crown had been taken to be destroyed, Snowfall took Mink to see the gift of order and destroyed the wall with her bare fists whilst wearing the gift of strength. Snowfall promised to let Mink destroy something the next day and Mink appeared excited at the idea. While Snowfall was asleep, Mink appeared in Snowfall's vision as Queen Glacier. Mink was playing a game with other IceWings, including Snowfall. |
