History's Greatest Monster

General Snowdrop, the crazed bloodthirsty warlord, whose life was considered so depraved and frankly embarrassing to even the warlike pegasi that it was revised over the next thousand or so years into a sweet morality tale that combined minor events from her childhood with bowdlerised tales of her once-legendary ability to manipulate the formation of ice and storm, and a bloodlust so powerful that she was driven to try carving individual snowflakes into lethal killing blades.

Creator of the feared Iceblade Storm, General Snowdrop was the scourge of any pony who opposed her. Or ran away from her. Or just happened to be standing nearby. Or even far away. Or in another country...

She had a particular dislike of unicorns, leading to the last element of her character. Far from being blind from birth, Snowdrop was blinded in one eye after headbutting a unicorn in a bar fight — one that she started after the unicorn "refused to look at her funny". She later remarked that she would have done it again for the sake of symmetry if only she didn't need her remaining eye to see where she was aiming her ice storms.
