History: Snow was a beautiful mare, and the worst part was she knew it. She spent her youth reveling in the attention the colts gave her, just to turn them down when they grew up and asked her to be their lead mare. But one stallion caught her eye. He crept into their herd late at night. She had heard of him before. Silvertongue they called him. She watched, her heart racing, as he snaked his way toward the Spanish mare. She pretended to be asleep as he circled her. The silver stallion bent down and whispered for her to wake up. Snow smiled. I've been awake the whole time, you know. He grinned. Just the kind of mare I like,was his reply. And he herded her away, to his herd of stolen mares. She didn't fight him at all. She wanted to join him. She became his favorite, even coming with him on some of his raids. But soon, he became tired of her; he felt she was being too clingy. So he found new mares. Well, Snow wasn't used to rejection. Every stallion she ever knew had wanted her. And now the only one she had ever given herself to was tossing her aside? She didn't think so. So she went to other's for their attention. Snow ran off for days at a time, only coming back to see if he had changed his mind. During her escapes she ran to every bachelor herd she could find, providing herself to them to fulfill their needs. She became the herd harlot and went under the name Amante; any who wanted her could have her. She didn't care, she was addicted to it. She became pregnant several times, but they all were still-births. This only made her madder at Shadow. Finally, when the earthquake hit the valley where Shadow's herd was, he left her. He left her for dead with all the other mares. This drove Snow over the edge. After months of recovery, she set off in pursuit of Shadow. She swore she would get her revenge on him, no matter what the means. No one leaves Snow behind, ever.

In SR:
Snow arived in Sunshine River looking for Shadow, a lead stallion in Misty Falls. First, though, she traveled to the breeding canyon, where she was covered by Eagle Heart. She quickly left him, however, only using him for the foal she needed to get back at Shadow. Unfortunately, her daughter, Vendetta was born looking exactly like her father and not like Snow, which ruined her plan. Without her revenge, which was fueling her on, she fell ill during winter and was stricken with frostbite in her legs. The following spring, she was barely alive, and when another mare and foal found Snow and Vendetta, they began a conversation that ended with an insult and consequently, Snow's death.


Snow was killed in a thread named "Was It All To No Avail?" She left behind a young daughter, Vendetta, who joined Snow's murderer, Medea and her daughter, as she had no where else to go.
