Snedronningen was born into a pious clan in the Fortress of Ends. Her first and only language is draconic. Her unusual eyes were seen as a blessing, and she was overindulged as a hatchling. Early in her adolescence, Snedronningen sneaked into a secluded and carefully-guarded area of her birth clan. She stole the elixir of eternal youth from its pedestal, thinking it would endear her to adults and wanting to hold onto her youthful beauty, and promptly drank it.

Her birth clan responded by imprisoning Snedronningen alongside their other prisoners. Feeling incredibly betrayed by her own family, and as though she was not sufficiently warned against the theft, Snedronningen sunk into a deep depression. Trapped by the children of the Icewarden for theft of a sacred communally-held artefact, with no release in sight, she saw no future for herself outside of a cage. While imprisoned in the Fortress of Ends she became familiar with the Wandering Arms, of which Anaander was once a part.

Although coatl hatchlings usually have wings too underdeveloped to attempt flight, Snedronningen slowly relearned how to fly by partially relying on magic over several years in secret. Tirelessly and painstakingly, Snedronningen improved her stamina and speed until she was confident that she could both outrun and outlast her gaolers. Eventually, Snedronningen was able to convince a guard that she could be allowed outside to see the stars, since there wasn't any chance of her escaping. The moment she reached outside, she took to the skies and never looked back.

Snedronningen flew as far over the sea as she could, choosing to land in the less-hospitable Wandering Contagion instead of the Windswept Plateau or Starfall Isles, because she knew that they would not expect her to go there. She did not alight to the ground until she encountered an unfamiliar nocturne while flying. They said that they were called Clavain, and that they were part of the Netherdread Clan. Concerned as to the safety of the apparent hatchling, and bowed over by her ability to fly, Clavain offered her sanctuary in the Clan.

By this point, anyone who's been paying attention has noticed that Snedronningen doesn't age. That and her eyes have garnered her the nickname "Snow Princess". Any visiting delegations form the Fortress of Ends looking to recapture her are firmly told that she is a refugee of the Plaguebringer.

While Snedronningen doesn't have a specific job in the Clan, she finds herself filling in wherever needed. She often helps Clavain on the day watch, the two have become close friends. After the life she's lived, Snedronningen is uncomfortable in the confined spaces of the tunnels and prefers to sleep under the open sky. She has an instinctive dislike of believers of the Icewarden as she believes prisons to be fundamentally wrong, but she carries around a small icon of him to remind herself of what she went through.
