"The snow is steadily melting... Perhaps because spring is coming, or it might be the palace collapsing."
- The Snow Queen
The Snow Queen (F-01-37) is a humanoid Abnormality, taking the appearance of a woman whose skin appears to be frozen, with a disembodied head and no neck. Atop her head lies a long, ornamented crown of blue and white plates, with a snowflake pattern adorning the center, along with a pair of black antlers. She wears a long, disembodied white robe with blue accents. She has large icicle shoulder pads protruding far out, resembling snowflakes. Her gray hands are holding a sword with a light blue blade and a gray handle that's embedded with a blue gem upside-down.
It is constantly snowing in her Containment Unit, accompanied by a white mist enveloping the floor and the sound of a snowstorm's cold, blowing wind.
Ability[]
The ability of The Snow Queen might trigger when getting a 
Normal result, and is very likely to happen when getting a 
Bad result. When the condition is met, The Snow Queen will hit the ground with the tip of her sword, causing an icy mirror shard to form over the employee's heart. This ice shard will disappear at the end of the day.
If an employee with an ice shard triggers her ability again, she will freeze the employee in a block of ice, rendering them 'Out of Control'. The next work will be a duel against The Snow Queen and the employee assigned to work with her will be the duelist. The Duel's success is dependent on the Agent's Fortitude level. With high levels of 
Fortitude, they will have higher chances of winning (level 1 = 10%; level 2 = 30%; level 3 = 50%; level 4 = 80%; level 5 = 100%). When the employee enters the Containment Unit, the combat will start. After some time, the duel will end with a sword being taken off by the other. Depending on who the winner is, a celebration theme or dark music plays and one of the following will occur:
- If the Employee wins: The rescuer and the frozen employee are released, going out of the Containment Unit without any other troubles. Both employees will get a frozen mark near their face, neck and body, which will increase their
Fortitude/ Max HP and Prudence/ Max SP by 6 points (Acts as an E.G.O. Gift in the Cheek slot. Can be replaced by other Cheek slot E.G.O. Gift if is not locked). - If The Snow Queen wins: Both the rescuer and frozen employee are killed by her.
If the day ends without rescuing the frozen employee, they will die.
There is a hidden interaction where an employee wearing the E.G.O. Suit from The Firebird will instantly be killed upon entering The Snow Queen's Containment Unit.
Origin[]
It is assumed that the story follows the same or similar events from the original tale: The Snow Queen.
The story starts with Kai and Gerda. When a fairy broke a magic mirror, causing the pieces of the mirror to be scattered into everyone's hearts, Kai saw things that he didn't need or want to see. He then left the village he stayed in his entire life. During a blizzard, he met the Snow Queen. From him wanting to know the world, more than what he already knew, he was led to her Snow Palace, where she froze his heart so he wouldn't feel the cold.
Gerda, the girl who hadn't gotten a shard of the mirror in her heart, went after Kai to rescue him from the Snow Queen. After suffering through an "agonizing" journey, she reached the palace and rescued Kai. The warmth from the season shifting to Spring started melting the palace. The mirror shard in Kai's heart was melted by the heat as well. They left where the palace once was, leaving The Snow Queen all alone.

| The final encyclopedia entry is a reference to A finding Carmen dead after she slit her wrists and bled out in a bathtub. A then put her body into a cryo coffin.
Later on, A tried to 'revive' her in the form of Angela, but the desired result of a machine that perfectly replicated her was not achieved. Despite how he detests the machine, he now needs it, only later realizing that his attempt to revive Carmen was a mistake. |
Details[]
The Snow Queen responds to the four works in order of best to worst: 
Insight, 
Attachment, 
Instinct, and 
Repression.
Like all Abnormalities, her energy output is determined by the number of PE Boxes (Positive Enkephalin boxes) at the end of the interaction.
The Snow Queen's emotional state is divided into 3 sections: Bad, Normal, and 
Good. Completing 0-7 E Boxes will cause her to feel Distressed, completing 8-13 will cause her to feel Normal, and 14-18 will make her Happy. Her usual cooldown timer after a task is around 10 seconds.

Story[]
Snow Queen's Encyclopedia Portrait
- "A queen lives alone in the frosty winter forest."
- "Like how every story starts, Kai was a child with a kind heart. When the shards of a mirror made by an evil fairy were scattered on everyone's heart, Kai began to see things he didn't want to see, or need to see.
- He left the small village he grew up in. In an unforgiving blizzard, Kai met the Snow Queen. He became curious of the world beyond his knowledge. He felt as though everything he knew amounted to so little."
- "The Snow Palace he reached was so cold, but the Snow Queen's kiss froze his heart, and he couldn't feel the cold anymore. There was no joy in the palace, only the long winter night. Gerda was strong enough to remain unpierced by the mirror, and brave enough to go on a journey to rescue Kai. So she set off towards the Snow Palace.
- The journey was agonizing. Gerda was hurt and pained, sometimes she cried. However, eventually, Gerda met Kai. Spring arrived with blossoming roses. Its warmth melted the Snow Queen's palace, and the piece of mirror in Kai's heart evaporated without a trace. Then, left all alone, the Snow Queen... (Omitted)"
- "I remember the day we put her in the cryo-coffin with our own hands. At some point, her joyous laughter was gone. She just cycled through laughing and crying, and eventually she was found in a bathtub soaked in red with her wrists cut.
- We did not believe in death. I will have her reconstructed from the "machines" I have detested for my entire life, but have become the only answer. She would have been disgusted by me for this, dying in that bathtub. However, we were too far down the road filled with remorse and regret to feel any sort of guilt.
……
One day, "it" spoke to me.
'I remember you. You were a kindhearted person.'
The moment I heard it, I was seized by the urge to destroy what I had created with my own hands."
Flavour Text[]
- "The Snow Queen’s Containment Unit is storming with a frosty blizzard."
- "The Snow Queen’s Containment Unit glims with ice and frost."
- "Kai would have been gifted with the world if he had failed to complete the sculpture of “eternity” with splinters of ice."
- "The Snow Queen’s palace is cold and lonesome. <name> wants to leave this place as soon as they can."
About to duel with The Snow Queen[]
- "As long as Kai is trapped in the Snow Palace, Gerda will eventually have to engage in the inevitable duel with The Snow Queen."
Dueling with The Snow Queen[]
- "Gerda was brave and stronger than anyone else, she’ll fight for Kai, who’s trapped in the Snow Palace."
Winning the duel[]
- "Spring arrived with blossoming roses. Gerda and Kai held hands, and they walked home."
Losing the duel[]
- "Gerda and Kai couldn’t defeat The Snow Queen. They became shards of ice in her hands and shall never leave the Snow Palace."
Trivia[]
- This Abnormality is based off of "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen
- The Agent who will challenge The Snow Queen will always wield a sword instead of their usual weapon to fight her.
- Her appearance was changed in June, before the official release. She previously took the appearance of a pale woman with long, light blue to mint colored hair wearing a long blue dress, a tiara, icicles for shoulder coverings, and a short blue shirt.
Bugs[]
- If an employee has the E.G.O. Gift "Those who know the Cruelty of Winter and the Aroma of Roses" and has it hidden, they will still die at the end of the day if they're saved via a duel.
- The first duel will work normally. However, on the second duel after this, the trapped employee will be freed immediately and the fighting sounds will persist after the work. Afterwards, the next employee sent to work on it will attempt to initiate a duel even when there is nobody trapped in ice, and will become stuck as soon as they enter the room.
- This bug is actually triggered during the first duel even though it seems to be perfectly fine.
- The way to avoid this bug is to keep the game speed at max while the ending animations are playing. (this was verified on a modified version of the game so it would be appreciated if someone else would verify that this actually stops the bug from happening).
