Q: So I see both snow spirit and Yuki Onna used throughout the page what is the difference?
A: The old herd is a decedent of yuki Onna soq. Throughout the years however fewer foals born into the herd who had abilities over ice,water, air. Now the tittle of Yuki Onna is only given to soq with a small control over the elements. The herd itself calls themselves snow spirits or decedents of Yuki Onna.
Q:
*I have no soq with yuki onna blood but could I enter one of my soq into the herd.A: Yes you can.
1)Soq with winter animal traits are automatically allowed into the herd. Soq with Animal traits have been allowed in since the old herd existed in the far away lands.
2)Ulun'suti with the elements of Air or Water. Ulun'suti with fire element or fire heritage are driven off if their foals or if adults killed.
3) White, blue ,grey- winter colored soq are allowed
4) If you have a valid reason why your soq has to be a member because of a certain plot idea.
5) Any mates of any of the herd members
3) Abandoned foals or baskets found on herd land are temporarily allowed. They are kept in the lowlands or if deemed physically strong the caves. When the foal reaches the teenage years the council will decide if the teenager is strong enough to stay with the herd.
4) Other soq are tested. For three weeks they have to survive the snowy mountain landscape by themselves.
Q:
I have a elemental fire soq. Could my soq be enemies of the herd?A: Yes! Fire soq have always been enemies and if you want your fire soq maimed by a herd member just ask and a rp will be set up.
Q:
Is it possible to custom into the herd?A: Yes it is. However if your seeking to custom in a snow spirit with yuki onna blood you should consider a few things. Most snow spirits have animal blood so winter animal traits are common but not a necessity-Most born snow spirits have paws . Just because you have a snow spirit doesn't necessarily mean your soq has control of the elements most do not have any control but do have a high resistance to cold and are severally weak against warm weather.
Q: Snow Spirits act as guides in the snowy landscape. Could one of the herd members guide my soq through the landscape?
A: Yes they could act as guides. Things to consider
1) Snow spirits tend to be a secretive group and your soq might hear them but might not see them . If a snow spirit does talk to them they might ask for a small gift or swear your soq to secrecy about their existence.
2) Not all snow spirits are friendly to travelers - They are decedents of Yuki Onna so they might enjoy seeing your soq come to harm or enjoy hurting your soq.
