Snowfox, referred to as Fox by Snowflake, was an adult female IceWing princess who was introduced in Runaway. She was the niece of Queen Diamond and the only remaining heir to the IceWing throne during her era, after Prince Arctic abandoned his kingdom. She was in a relationship with Snowflake and resided in the IceWing palace.
Description[]
Snowfox had white scales and dark blue eyes, with tiny gems embedded between each of her teeth. Her wings were pure white and were patterned with a scattering of blue-gray scales that looked like rippling shadows. She wore a chain hung with one silver loop, indicative of her status as a first circle IceWing. She moved like a confident predator,[1] with a voice that slithered like seals worming across a patch of ice.[2]
Personality[]
Snowfox was ruthless and cunning[3] and was determined to eliminate the entire NightWing tribe after her tribemates were killed by Arctic while he and Foeslayer were escaping the kingdom, and when the NightWing’s fire destroyed Snowflake's wing permanently.[4] She was a conniving dragon, noted to be always plotting something. She seemed bold and assertive, as she approached Snowflake almost immediately. She was shown to be manipulative as well, as she was initially willing to trick Snowflake into helping her take the IceWing throne.
She was also very intelligent, scheming with Snowflake to get rid of Arctic and ascend to the throne. She was cruel and brutal, having been intent on orchestrating a NightWing genocide — Clearsight noted that she saw many possible futures where she succeeded in this endeavor, if she became queen.
Biography[]
Legends[]
Darkstalker[]
Clearsight mentioned Snowfox after checking all possible paths in the future where Darkstalker killed Diamond. She predicted that the NightWings would most likely face a genocide of their entire tribe if Queen Diamond was killed and Snowfox, Diamond's niece, became queen of the IceWings. Clearsight advised Darkstalker not to kill Diamond until Snowfox had her first dragonet, who would then be able and worthy to ascend the IceWing throne.

Runaway[]
Snowfox first approached Snowflake and began talking to her, she asked Snowflake to call her "Fox" rather than "Snowfox." She told Snowflake that she had a few ideas if she was interested, and they started to scheme together to get rid of Arctic and help Snowfox ascend the throne.
Later on, they believed that Diamond knew about Arctic's plan to meet Foeslayer and they thought that their plan was ruined. Snowfox promised Snowflake that she would not have to marry him and they started to try and figure out a way to get Prince Arctic out of the Ice Kingdom.
Snowfox hinted to Arctic that Diamond planned to kill the visiting NightWings in order to make Arctic believe that Foeslayer was in danger, which would then prompt him to run away with her.
It was then implied that Snowfox slipped a RainWing sleeping potion to Diamond, which kept her asleep throughout Arctic and Foeslayer's escape from the Ice Kingdom.
Snowfox was with Snowflake when Arctic accidentally enchanted the spears to kill the IceWings chasing them. Snowflake chased after him, yelling and calling him a monster and claiming that he did not deserve to live or have happiness. However, Foeslayer blasted fire towards her, which Arctic caught in his claws and shot down at Snowflake.
Snowfox put out the fire on Snowflake's wing with her frostbreath before swearing vengeance on the entire NightWing tribe, due to her lover's injury and her fellow IceWings' deaths.
Relationships[]
Foeslayer[]
Like her aunt, Snowfox hated Foeslayer with a passion. Her hatred of the NightWing was only fueled when Snowflake was injured by Foeslayer's fire. She swore to kill all NightWings due to this event.
Snowflake[]
Snowflake was Snowfox's partner.[event 1] Unlike other dragons, Snowfox understood how she felt underneath her exterior. Due to this understanding, the two got along well and also schemed together to stop Arctic from marrying Snowflake. Even though she was willing to manipulate Snowflake into helping her ascend the throne, she did genuinely care for her and promised to protect her. Snowfox was outraged when she was wounded during Arctic and Foeslayer's escape. Snowfox swore to get revenge for her and her fellow fallen IceWings.
