Shards

Shards is an explorer, his travels had started in Gardenhome, taken him all the way to the Southern Icefields, then the Light territories. He was now back to the snowy slopes, eager to discover more of the place he'd called home for a long while.

Shards is also a collector... often by accident. That tends to happen when you are as pointy as he is. He'd been instructed to avoid anything he could get tangled in. His kind of tangling was very different from that of a Spiral, and led to new friends, the latest were snakes and a lone spider who still had no clue what had happened to it but had stuck along for the ride. Including the next one...

Spiders are known for not knowing how to use skis. Shards had an idea of which way was forward, which was the only other advantage he had over a spider, barring the fact that he had fewer legs to put skis on.

His previous hikes in the cold had been done using various other implements, most of them not made for speed, a few originally meant to play tennis and borrowed from clan members, who, to this day, had no idea what happened to them...

On the bright side, this would prove a useful exercise in escaping any clan member's wrath... so long as he was still on snow! Depending on how this went, he might have to consider exile...
