This is my deer/frost spirit dude. He loves the cold and snow, and thrives in it. He wants a friend so badly, so he lures children into the snowstorms he often creates.

I sort of see this as the first time he experiences causing the death of a child who freezes to death/dies of exhaustion in the snow. He doesn’t really understand what has happened, and doesn’t know why there are black frozen parts on the child’s face.

He doesn’t really learn due to his own childishness and naivety, luring several more children in to their deaths over a few hundred years.
