God of IceTropical Ice GodFjorm: Gleaming Ice Pair

Nifl: God of Ice
Here's Nifl, the god of ice. Her name probably sounds familiar to you, and that's because she's the creator of the kingdom of ice that shares her name! The people of the kingdom look to her for strength and guidance.	True to her domain, Nifl's demeanor is as cool as ice, and she abhors change, instead preferring things that persist eternally. She sees tranquility as an unchanging constant, and desires peace over war and conflict.	That does beg the question of why she's been in conflict with Múspell, the god of flame, for so long! Well, just as Nifl desires peace, Múspell hungers for war… So I guess there's no room for compromise there.	In order to save her kingdom, Fjorm sacrificed her life to the Rite of Frost to receive Nifl's power and restore peace to the realm. I just hope it really will last forever…

Nifl: Tropical Ice God
Nifl is the god of ice, and rules over a frozen world that shares her name. Now she's taking a respite from the cold to join us on the sunny beach, complete with a new swimsuit to mark the occasion!	I see her ice-cold nature shows no sign of thawing—even with the sun beating down on us, Nifl's not even breaking a sweat!	And of course, she's carrying a huge serving of shaved ice with her. It's not just any old shaved ice, though—it's imbued with her divine power, and one mouthful is enough to cool both the body and the soul! I wonder what it tastes like…	Nifl has said she doesn't care for hot places, and she's certainly looking as cool and aloof as ever, but something tells me she's enjoying the vacation just the same. Well, if my hunch is right, I hope she takes this opportunity to hit the beach this summer!

Fjorm’s the princess of Nifl, the Kingdom of Ice, and today, she’s joining us at the festival of snow and ice! And that’s not all—she’s accompanied by Nifl, the god of ice who rules the frozen world that shares her name!	Here’s Fjorm’s special outfit for the festival. Isn’t that light, bouncy skirt adorable? She’s also wearing special boots for skating on the ice!	Nifl’s come dressed for the festival too, wearing a long skirt that gives her a very elegant look. And the frozen horns on her headband and icicles around her collar look simply gorgeous!	Nifl isn’t usually a fan of lively surroundings, but today’s a special occasion. I hope she has a great time at the festival with Fjorm!
