Borne four hundred years ago to the happily married couple Ete and Primtemps, she was given the name Hiver Silencieuse. Then next twenty nine years of her life were painfilled, tragic and spirit killing. Her mother, Primtemps (Spring), died in the childbirth of her younger sister, Automne. Automne (Autumn) was hunting with Hiver and a group of boys from their town one day and was accidentally killed by a stray arrow. Her father, Ete (Summer), killed himself soon after Automne's death. Hiver was taken away at the age of 15, her name changed to Winter Silence.

Winter was married once, when she was 19. Her husband's name was Cesaro. Cesaro died not long into their marriage, in a mysterious accident while fishing. Winter was less than a month pregnant at the time. The pregnacy gave her trouble thereafter. And the child was borne nearly two months early, mentally retarded and physically handicapped, and not given a chance to live. Winter ruthlessly killed her own child (to this day she blames other influences), rather than have it survive crippled and deformed. She covered up the murder of her son by blaming a creature from the swamps nearby, but her concious was weighed down for the next ten years with the truth that she murdered her own child.

She committed suicide on the morning of her 29th birthday.



Winter is physically 29 years old, and everything about her speaks a detatched sadness. She has existed the past 400 years as a ghost. Her touch once, but no longer, froze the skin and the soul. Her ice blue eyed gaze peirces beyond the veils. Her skin is a pale flesh tone, tinged with a slight blue, like a person who is freezing to death.

She has been freed of her curse to haunt home and hearth, but is still restless, her existance given over to the futile search of the one who could restore her.

Was it a fluke that she was to come to Dragonhold? No, young Fallyn Blackwood has an unconcious hand in the act, giving Winter the means neccassary to appear in the Dragonhold.

It was there at the Dragonhold that she met the Master of the Creatures of the Night, the Undertaker V-WWF, also known as Marcus. Perhaps it was Fate and Destiny that drew them together, or perhaps it was Luck. Whatever it was, it was the best thing in Winter's life to occur.

Marcus is one of the Thanatos line, gifted with SoulPower. He ans she both learned of a secret kept from Winter by Cesaro: his relationship within the Thanatos line. He has attempted to live a normal life, but upon his death, his spirit has been restless. Cesaro's soul, it seems, is incorporated into Marcus' own.

Marcus stirred emotoins in Winter that she has believed long dead. He risked himself to give her life, blood and flesh. He broke the dam that held back her emotions, allowing her to feel things long dead and buried from her mind.

She struggles with them, though, welcoming but fearing her emotions. Having always seen and known herself as a rational, intelligent woman, the centuries-long bottled emotions threaten to overwhelm that rationalization, and that frightens her.
