Prince Winter is a young IceWing prince and the nephew of Queen Glacier, who first appears in Moon Rising as a student of Jade Mountain Academy. He attended the school as a member of the Jade Winglet, and is the main protagonist of Winter Turning. Winter kept a scavenger named Bandit as a pet in a cage that he made and decorated himself. But in the beginning of Winter Turning (when he was about to leave Jade Mountain Academy), he released Bandit into the wild, knowing that the scavenger would perish in the subzero temperatures of the Ice Kingdom if Winter brought him back home.
