Snow (スノウ, Sunou) is the Princess of Lestava and the MÄR Heaven counterpart of Koyuki.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Snow is fun-loving and easy-going but can be serious in battle situations, and is notable for the fact that she looks and acts exactly like Koyuki, Ginta's crush from Earth - her own alternate versions, with whom she shares views of each other's world, and an affection toward Ginta Snow was also Ginta's first kiss. She gets jealous whenever Dorothy gets too close to Ginta.
Etymology[]
Snow is based on the titular princess of the fairy tale, Snow White. Like the Germanic princess she's based on, Snow flees her wicked step-mother and allies herself with seven "dwarves".
History[]
The only princess heir to the crown of Lestava, Snow often had dreams of having a life in another world as an identical girl named Koyuki, where she was best friends with a little boy named Ginta. When Snow was only four years old, her mother passed away and she was constantly so distraught that everyone found it painful to see her still crying. The king sought a new bride to be a "replacement" mother to his young daughter. After two years of searching, when Snow was six years old, her father met Diana and chose her as Lestava Kingdom's royal bride, as the king fell in love with her beauty and Diana and Snow instantly bonded like a true mother and daughter.
From when Snow was little, she talked about a different world where she was named "Koyuki" and best friends with a boy named Ginta, which Diana initially thought is a make-believe story. But as she grew up, she had mostly forgotten about the different world.
First Great MÄR Heaven War[]
Two years later, a militant group calling themselves the Chess Pieces declare war against all of MÄR Heaven. Diana took charge of supplying ÄRMs to the newly founded resistance group called the Cross Guard. Diana, her husband, and eight-year old stepdaughter Snow watched as the War Games were held at their castle. No harm fell upon the family, however Snow's servant dog Edward fell victim to a curse cast by Halloween during the final round of the War Games, fusing him with the Cross Guard's second-in-command Alan.
Six-Year Interlude[]
Lestava Castle's Oracle tells Snow to leave the castle and assemble an army to fight her step-mother Chess Pieces' Queen Diana. She and Edward the Dog fled Lestava Castle and settled on Pazurika Island in a frozen castle. When the Chess Pieces attacked, she used Iced Earth to surround herself in ice prompting the Chess Piece members Ian and Loco to wait for Halloween to arrive with a flame Nature ÄRM.
She was thawed from the ice by Ginta when Alan lent him the ÄRM of Flame. After she was thawed out she had her first kiss with Ginta (albeit by accident).
Second Great MÄR Heaven War[]
War Games[]
In the War Games, Snow faces off against Fuugi on the Desert Field in the 2nd Round and wins against him.
In the 3rd Round at the Volcano Field, she lost to Mr. Hook since she was weakened by the heat's interference with her ice magic.
While the others were training for the fourth round in Gaira's Training Gate, Snow had Alan send her into the Training Gate so she can rest up.
She received a new ÄRM when she was at Kaldea with Team MÄR. When it came to the 5th Round at the Desert Field, she used her ÄRM Undine to defeat Emokis who called Snow ugly.
In her match at the Mushroom Field during the 6th Round, she faces off against her old babysitter Magical Roe and loses when he captures her under the orders of Diana who places her in a Death Cube so Diana can take over both worlds.
After the War Games[]
After The War Games are over, Team MÄR set out to find the King and Queen and rescue Snow, who King and Queen were going to use to open a portal to Ginta's world and take over Earth along with MÄR Heaven. Snow is released after Diana's death. Together with the rest of Team MÄR, she witnesses Orb's defeat by Ginta. Ginta then uses the last ability of Babbo's magic stone to create Gatekeeper Clown, returning with Danna to their world.
ÄRMs[]
