Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Snowball is an athletic soldier. He's strong, but also quick and hardy. His martial training is part of his morning routine.

Body Features

Snowy is covered from head to toe in coarse, voluminous, white fur.

Facial Features

Vibrant, icy-blue eyes sit atop his canine snout. The bare skin of his nose, ears, and mouth are black. He's usually smiling.

Identifying Characteristics

His fur is 100% snow white, which is very rare among Imperial canid. Upon close inspection under his dense fur, it becomes apparent his torso is covered in an assortment of scars.

Physical quirks

Since he obtained the sword Rime from the spirit of the silver dragon Argynvost, Snowball is now unnaturally cold to the touch. He has gained a sensitivity to unnatural heat.

Special abilities

Due to his thick and insulating fur, he is acclimatized to cold weather.

Apparel & Accessories

Snowy wears the silvery plate mail of the knights of the Order of the Silver Dragon. He travels light and keeps all his necessities in his backpack or in the saddlebags of his horse, Lexington.

Specialized Equipment

  • Rime, Favor of Argynvost: An ancient longsword enchanted with ice magic.
  • Silver Dragon scale mail: A unique set of armor commissioned by Argynvost for one of his highest-ranking knights.
  • Bulwark of Argynvost: Another relic of the Order of the Silver Dragon, this haunted shield has a strong sense of purpose.

Mental characteristics

Gender Identity

Male (he / him)

Education

Snowy received the same first-rate education as all the knights in Novo Centris: a canid-focused history of the region and the Empire's glories, but none of its failures. Easily distracted, he's not the greatest book-learner, but he's skilled in mounted combat and swordplay.

Employment

Snowy has always wanted to be a knight, just like his big brother. He worked his way from a lowly squire to esteemed and fully-fledged knight of the Empire. Only recently, doubts have surfaced regarding his blind commitment to the empire's dubious goals.

Accomplishments & Achievements

  • Shortly after arriving in Barovia, Snowball accepted the heavy task of restoring the Order of the Silver Dragon and bringing peace to the spirit of Argynvost. He has retrieved the dragon's skull from Castle Ravenloft, but there are yet more mysteries to uncover and solve.
  • Snowy and his friends took the Sun Sword and killed Strahd once, but the vampire lord has since returned.

Mental Trauma

  • When he was very young, Snowball became lost in an intense blizzard on the mountainside. Though he was discovered and safely rescued by his older brother, no one knows what happened to him during the extensive time he was missing.
  • While wandering through the woods and having a crisis of conscience, he ended up trapped by the impenetrable mists of Barovia.

Intellectual Characteristics

He's kind, brave despite his fears, and unerringly devoted to those he loves.

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Snowy is surprisingly good at playing the lute and improvising performances. He's not suited to intense book-learning or long study sessions.

Likes & Dislikes

  • Likes spending time with friends, playing games, protecting others, carnival food, bones
  • Dislikes bullies, isolation, flying, pickles, social tension

Personality Quirks

He can sometimes be seen muttering under his breath or speaking to himself. He's just talking out his thoughts - it helps him to break down tough problems and keep from feeling lonely.

Hygiene

He brushes his thick coat of fur weekly. This always covers the floor in huge piles of excess white fluff, usually to the chagrin of most anyone he lives with. Though he tries to keep clean, he has a knack for getting dirty.

Social

Family Ties

He has three sisters and two brothers. In terms of age, he's the middle child.

Religious Views

Snowy has a healthy fear of the gods and divine beings in general. If he's asked, it's best to stay away from the gods and their influences - they're all dangerous.

Social Aptitude

Snowball loves making friends, and his natural charm earns plenty of them. He lives for others, so he can be quick to let his guard down at times.

Mannerisms

He likes to smile as often as possible. Despite his typically casual demeanor, Snowy is well-trained in high society etiquette, a set of skills he prefers not to use.

Hobbies & Pets

Lexington is Snowball's horse, given to him by Two, spawned from a magic patch on her cloak. He is tall and mottled grey, with dark mane and tail.

Speech

Snowy almost always speaks very casually, using lots of contractions and friendly language.

A high-spirited knight of the the canid empire and captive of Barovia.
