The Snow Queen
Frozen realm ruler
The Snow Queen is a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about a cold, powerful queen who abducts a boy, and the girl who journeys to rescue him.
The story explores themes of love conquering coldness and evil.
More broadly, a snow queen describes a woman who is beautiful but emotionally cold or distant: She had the reputation of being a snow queen—gorgeous but untouchable.
