The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen

[spooky;]

I guess the purple dog is going to be uncommon? I can't find one for trade anywhere and a bunch of people seem to be missing it too.

[GracideaShaymin]

The only ones I've had trouble trading for that weren't on a day I missed/didn't realize that you could adopt multiples of the advent gift are the bob-tailed dog from the GUPPS day with the skeleton dragons and the coal hamster in the stocking.

I've seen the GUPPS skeleton dragons being highly sought too but RNG favored me that day and I got both myself straight from the source.

OH MAN KAI AND GERDA THE SNOW QUEEN AHHHHH.
I love this story so so much, Andersen is he best. I loved the other Christmas pets from previous years based off of The Fir Tree, The Snow Queen, The Snowman and so on, but this entire set is so wonderful being a near complete set of some of my favorite characters. c: Best Christmas Cs pets. THANK YOU PLUMA.

[Screemnigcheesepuff]

If there was one sort of pet i could ask for this advent it would be a pps catterpillar or cocoon because there are only around 27 of them and i collect them but theres not much to collect but it probably wont happen because we just got one in a monthly adopts ( i might niw have all thanks to dec18!)

[Kallico]

I love today's advent and I enjoyed reading Pluma's post retelling the story in this thread. :3

I think my favorites are the ice queen, Bae, and the sorceress. They all look lovely though. ^__^

As Minimanta guessed early on, it is indeed pets based on the characters that appear in H.C. Andersen's fairytale "The Snow Queen". The longest fairytale he made and also the fairytale Frozen is loosely (very very VERY loosely) based on. I personally prefer the original fairytale much more :3 There is like a billion different cartoon adaptions of the story. Just look up "The Snow Queen" on Youtube and you should have plenty of options to choose from, but here is a short summary, for the ones who never heard of the story.


An evil troll/devil made a magic mirror that distorts the appearance of everything it reflects. It fails to reflect the good and beautiful aspects of people and things, while magnifying their bad and ugly aspects. By accident, it shatters into a billion tiny pieces and falls down on earth. The pieces go into the hearts and eyes of people and freezes their hearts like a block of ice and makes them only see bad and ugly things.

In a town lives two kids. Gerda and Kai and they're the best of friends. Living right next to each other and can go back and forward between their houses, with help of the gutters. They grow vegetables and flowers together and they are especially fond of their roses and the roses reminds Gerda of her love to Kai. Kai's grandmother tells the kids about the story of the Snow Queen and Kai sees the Snow Queen on the frosted window one winter and calls for him to come with her, but he draws back in fear.

One day, while Gerda and Kai are in their little window garden and reading a book, Kai gets a piece of the troll mirror into his heart and eye. It makes him cold and aggressive, ruining their little garden and is rude and cruel to both Gerda and his grandmother.


One day, Kai goes out with his sleight to play in the snowy market and hitches his sled onto a white sleigh, which turns out to be the Snow Queen riding her sleigh. She reveals herself to him outside the city and kisses him twice. One to numb him from the cold and one to make him forget about Gerda and his family and she then takes Kai with her to her palace.

The people of the town concludes Kai must have drowned in the lake and Gerda, heartbroken, goes out to question anything and everything about what happened to Kai. She offers her new red shoes to the river, which takes her in a boat out on river, which makes her believe the boat knows where Kai is and will bring her to where he is.


Though the boat brings her to a sorceress, in the form of an old lady, with a beautiful garden of eternal summer. The old lady wants Gerda to stay with her and uses magic to make her forget about Kai and also makes all the roses in her garden disappear, knowing the sight of them will make Gerda remember about Kai. One day, Gerda's tears make a rose bush appear and it tells her that Kai is not among the death. So Gerda escapes and continues her quest.


She meets a crow and he tells her that Kai is in the princess' castle and brings her there, since his mate works in the castle. Gerda goes to the castle and meets the princess and her new fiancé, the prince, who looks like Kai, but isn't him. She tells them about her tale and they provide her with warm clothes and a coach.


While travelling with the coach, she runs into an ambush and is taken hostage by robbers, where she meets a robber girl. The robber girl wants to keep her as a servant, but she gets touched by Gerda's story of Kai and the robber girls' doves tells Gerda that they have seen Kai, when he was carried away by the Snow Queen, in the direction of Lapland.


The robber girl also have a reindeer, named Bae, she has caught and he tells them he knows the way to Lapland, as he was born there. The robber girl frees Bae, on the condition that he brings Gerda to Lapland.


They make to stops. First at the Lappish Woman's house, who gives them a message to bring to the Finnish Woman, who can help them out. The Finnish Woman tells them that the secret of Gerda's unique power to free Kai is with her sweet and innocent heart.

They reach the Snow Queen's palace. There Gerda finds Kai all alone and almost immobilized on a frozen lake, which the Snow Queen calls the "Mirror of Reason", on which her throne sits. The Snow Queen has given Kai the task to finish a puzzle, made of ice, to form characters and words. He is to form the word "Eternity" and the Snow Queen will then release him from her spell and give him a pair of new ice skates.

Gerda kisses Kai and he is saved by the power of her love. Gerda's warm tears melts away the splinter of the troll mirror, that was in Kai's heart, which makes him warm up and he bursts into tears, which dislodges the mirror piece in his eye. Making him all back to normal sweet Kai and able to recognize Gerda. They dance together on the lake, out of joy, which makes the ice puzzle pieces get caught up with the dance and then fall down to spell the word "Eternity". So the Snow Queen is oblidged to free Kai and they leave the Snow Queen's domain, with the help from Bae. They return home to their town, to see they have been gone for so long, that both of them are now grown up and are delighted to see it's summer time.

The end~ Yes, this is the very short resume of a long fairy tale xD I can greatly recommend to read the fairytale or watch some of the cartoon adaptations.

Thanks for the explanation of the story, Pluma! I've only seen Frozen, but now I want to read the original version of The Snow Queen.
