snow maiden
Frost king's daughter
Snow maiden refers to a figure from Russian folklore—a girl made of snow who comes to life, typically melting when exposed to warmth or fire.
The character appears in fairy tales, opera, and winter celebrations.
More broadly, snow maiden can describe any ethereal winter spirit or a woman with pale, icy beauty: She stood motionless as a snow maiden in the falling snow.
