Concept: Traveller, Courier and Spy
Description: In her true form, Bright Snow is a small woman of slight build, her extensive moonsilver tattoos barely show up against her pale snow white skin. Her equally white hair hangs to just below her shoulders and is normally kept out of the way of her cold sea green stare. Her most common outfit in this form is a short mauve skirt over mauve stockings and a red patterned basque with a pair of matching red mousquetaire gloves. She does not favour any of her true forms, so it rare to see her in this or her spirit shape.

She does have two other favoured human forms that she has stolen over the years. One is that of the Dragonblooded Tepet Argona, a Child of Mela that foolishly participated in a Sidereal lead Wyld Hunt twenty-five years ago. Argona's was a woman with short red hair, pale skin and brown eyes who was not yet showing the whitening so common to older members of her Aspect. Over the years Snow has built up the identity as an asset to the Immaculate Order, now an asset to spy on the rebels who plot against the deliberative. In this form she wears blue gowns, few sensible and all marked with the markings of a member of house Tepet.

Her other favoured form is that of a nameless young girl, who had her mind eaten by Rakasha when Snow found her, taking pity on her Snow quickly put her out of her misery aware the form could be of use. In this form she appears a youngish girl just past adolescence, with bright blue eyes and shoulder length brown hair. In the past this form tended to wear humble peasant fair but in this age of the Deliberative, it is this form she favours while acting as a Deliberative Courier and thus tends to wear brown leather coat, suitable to shield herself from the cold of operating her swift rider over a white linen shirt, tan trousers and good leather riding boots. She refers to herself in this form by the unimaginative name of Young and Maiden Bright.

Triumph (Artefact ••• and Ally/Familiar ••)

• "Triumph" - Awakened AI of the Swift Rider ••
  • Triumph is Bright Snow's only long term companion on her journey and even then their being together is an accident. While fleeing Li Jin Gang, after an altercation between them that sundered their master pupil relationship Snow acquired this Swift Rider from one of De'aneir'a Sera Vestra's workshops, assuming it belonged to one of her assistants. Discovering instead that the Swift Rider had instead been a test platform for one of the Solar's AI experiments, designed to produce a brighter awakened spirit to run her skyships. This Swift Rider was the home of one TR1-MPH, the least god of the bike that De'aneir'a was trying to mould into a minor god of travel. Frankly afraid to return the item, Snow kept fleeing, slowly forming a strong friendship with the God/AI which she dubbed Triumph.
    

Triumph himself was failing to perform well in De'aneir'a's trials, being outperformed by several other test projects. Being stolen by Snow he saw as a golden opportunity to flee his eventual decommishioning and see the world for himself. Simply put Triumph's intellect is still rather adolencent, not at all what De'aneir'a required for her Skyship AI's and at times he descends into downright childishness but as he and Snow travel he is learning and perhaps when he is returned he won't be such a failure after all.
