Delphine Velvetveil
the Wildfrost Countess
Named for the silent, frozen moments after a full moon when the wild things come out and the frost bites deepest.
Power
You can freeze a single memory in another's mind, making it feel like a shard of ice lodged between their ribs; you can then pull it out like a splinter, but each stolen memory leaves a frost scar on your own heart, slowly numbing what you feel.

You drink the first frost of each autumn from a cracked chalice, and you have never told anyone why. You came to it in the taiga, where the birch trees have scars that look like eyes. You remember the sled dogs refusing to pull past a certain tree line, and the silence that followed was so complete you could hear your own blood crystallizing.
