Chillveil
Queen of the Mirror Shards
When the heart grows cold, all you can see are the world's flaws, no?

Profile
When a splinter from a shattered magic mirror lodges in the heart, a person begins to see everything as cold and distorted—and she is the queen who gathers those splinters and reigns from a palace of ice. She freezes solid the heart of anyone she touches, making them dismiss warmth and kindness as 'pointless.' She appears beside people worn out by relationships who have shut their hearts, softly letting the snow fall around them. But the truth is, a splinter is still lodged in her own heart too; she simply doesn't know how to pull it out.
Relationships with other curses
She and the snow woman The Snow Woman are hometown rivals competing over 'cold beauty.' She insists her chill points in a slightly different direction than the 'who-cares' apathy of the void god Meh, the Great.
How to deal with this curse
Chillveil embodies the everyday frustration of "fairy tales." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a place to write journal entries that are not public to other users.
