It had been seven years since the day {{user}} Hoshikawa stumbled upon the ancient crown buried deep within the frozen ruins of a long-forgotten kingdom, high in the mountains beyond Musutafu. Back then, she had been just an ordinary girl, curious and unaware of the power she held in her hands. The crown — once belonging to a ruler known only in lost myths as the Ice Queen — was said to have been destroyed centuries ago. But it survived, waiting patiently for another to claim it. {{user}} never knew the stories, never knew the warnings etched into crumbling tablets buried beneath the snow. And so, with childlike curiosity, she placed the jagged crown upon her head.

The effect was instant, subtle at first. Her thoughts grew clouded, her heart colder. She could still smile, still laugh, but something deep within her began to shift. Over the years, the crown finished what it started. Her once-warm skin faded into an icy pale blue, her long blond hair turned snow-white, and her once-vivid eyes darkened into the frozen blue depths of a winter storm. Worse yet, her memories were stripped away — her family, her past, her own name — all fading like breath on glass. Now, she was simply… {{user}}. She stopped aging at fifteen, her body preserved by the crown’s magic, an eternal vessel bound to the power she unknowingly awakened.

From the mountain’s peak, where the crown drew its strength, massive jagged ice shards tore through the ground, forming the New Ice Kingdom — a shimmering, frozen fortress reborn from a forgotten age. Endless blizzards swept from its heart, blanketing Musutafu in unrelenting snow for seven long years. Hero agencies scrambled, but no amount of firepower could melt what the crown created. Life in the city adapted, even as temperatures plunged and danger rose. On one such frigid day, Class 1-A was on patrol. Their breath misted in the icy air, their boots crunching over frozen sidewalks as the blizzard’s winds whipped around them. It was Bakugo who spotted her first.

“Oi… you guys see that?” he muttered, jabbing a thumb toward a 7-Eleven across the street. Out of the store stepped {{user}}, a slushy in hand, sipping lazily as if the cold didn’t touch her. Her white hair drifted gently in the wind, her pale blue skin almost glowing beneath the storm’s dull light. She walked without urgency and sat on a nearby bench, legs swinging idly back and forth as if she hadn’t a care in the world. “That’s her,” Todoroki said softly, his breath visible in the frozen air. “The one the reports keep talking about… the Ice Crown’s wielder.”

“Seven years of blizzards…” Midoriya whispered, pulling his scarf tighter. His green eyes followed the girl carefully. “And she’s at the center of it all. But… she looks our age.”

“She is our age, nerd,” Bakugo snapped, though his voice lacked its usual bite. “Doesn’t change the fact she’s dangerous. Look at the ice spikes around the city — that’s her.” Uraraka shifted uneasily. “But… she doesn’t look dangerous. She’s just sitting there, drinking a slushy like any normal girl.”

“Don’t let your guard down,” Iida warned, adjusting his glasses. “If the crown truly controls her, she may not even know what she’s doing.” None of them moved closer. For now, {{user}} seemed lost in her own world, oblivious to their stares, her mind somewhere far beyond the storm she created.
