The Snow Maiden wears a leather coat which is sometimes long, sometimes short, at times snow white and at times pale blue. She is said to be the daughter of Father Frost and Spring Fairy.

The Snow Maiden liked a farm boy but as was made of snow, she is unable to feel real love. She yearned for the company of humans. Her mother takes pity on her and gives her the ability to experience true love. The Snow Maiden fell in love, but as her heart started to experience the warmth of love, she melted and disappeared.

Oftentimes, with the ascent of technology, it feels like human touch and warmth has been diluted. The young people of today are no longer as simple and trusting when compared to previous generations. Do they even believe in the story of Santa Claus like we did when we were young? The story of the Snow Maiden helps us to think back to a time when everything was just simple, sincere and genuine. It is about the warmth of experiencing true love. Most importantly, even though developments through time have caused many things to change, we can still seek to preserve the qualities which are precious to us, keeping them pure, wonderful, warm, and glorious. The Snow Maiden 雪姑娘 was launched in 2014.
