| All seemed well until Anzu, who had bonded with Sios, and Frey, who had bonded with Maeve, discovered what had really happened to Khione. Horrified, they confronted the Blood Queen and were soundly defeated. She seized control of the Crown of Winter Grace and prevented Anzu and Sios from being able to move at all while she tried to kill Frey and Maeve. | All seemed well until Anzu, who had bonded with Sios, and Frey, who had bonded with Maeve, discovered what had really happened to Khione.

| The Blood Queen took the Crown of Autumn Air, but Frey’s familiar bit her hand off before she could kill Frey. Sios pled her loyalty in order to spare Anzu, and the Blood Queen sundered their bond and banished Anzu from the Dreaming.

| With three Crowns, Winter was too strong for any of the other Courts to confront on their own. Although Summer acquired a third Crown from Auberon, Fergus eventually convinced Titania to make peace with Winter instead. | With three Crowns, Winter was too strong for any of the other Courts to confront on their own.

| - | Most recently she has exerted increasing degrees of influence up to and including a full possession of King Jocham after a ritual that was intended to communicate with her to ask about the Mantlemourne Primordials.

| These days, she is in full control most if not all of the time. Extreme caution should be taken if the Winter King is sighted and it is very important to pretend that you think that it’s still him in control.

| - | When Cassius confronted her, she pulled on his old oath to Persephone((Persephone possessed both the Underworld crown and the Crown of Winter Frost when Cassius initially swore his oath. While Persephone was still partially in control, it seems the oath is binding to both of them. –Nemiriel)) to curse him to “protect the Winter Heir,” but it is unknown what her final goal in this was or who the Winter Heir is. Our current best guess is either Katria as the wearer of the Crown of Winter’s Grace, although her proper title is Winter Princess, or Nemiriel as Anzu’s heir and the Starweaver twin born with ice magic. | + | When Cassius confronted her, she pulled on his old oath to [[Persephone]]((Persephone possessed both the Underworld crown and the Crown of Winter Frost when Cassius initially swore his oath.

| It is unknown if she retains the ability to control the wearer of the Crown of Winter’s Grace. The Blood Queen attempted to do so during the ritual to force Katria to free her, but either this power has faded or the ritual temporarily protected Katria from her influence. (She has some control now, as she has used the Winter’s Grace to kidnap Princesses Nemiriel and Katria). | It is unknown if she retains the ability to control the wearer of the Crown of Winter’s Grace.
