Santa Claus, may I introduce Sonya Chloe to you?

Sonya Chloe is a 270-year-old Snegoruchka, or Mother Frost.  In Russian fairy tales Mother Frost lives in the sky, making it snow by plumping up her down pillows and letting loose a storm of feathers.

Actually, Sonya Chloe is a self-styled Snegoruchka, a transformation she'd reluctantly undertaken after eating an entire Fruitcake of Immortality by mistake. This occurred in a little cabin in Quebec, at a time when she was starving.

She'd then journeyed on to an Arctic ice palace, Palais du Nord, which became her new home.

Every January Sonya Chloe invites guests to Palais du Nord for a week-long celebration, Charme de Neige (Snowspell).

If you were invited, you would instantly recognize Sonya Chloe by her very big and very yellow dress. Of living in the Arctic, Sonya Chloe says:  "When the night lasts six months, one must become one's own sun."
