Cut misuse of Ice Queen, which isn't what is described in the pothole.


Visually, there is a lot to connect the cold with being upper-class. Ice crystals and snowflakes can evoke [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry sparkly, glittery things like gemstones and jewelry]], while clean white snow can bring [[TheRichHaveWhiteStuff expensive and pristine white items to mind]]. Anyone who lives in a cold region will often wear a lot of furs, [[PrettyInMink which are also associated with wealth and glamour]]. These characters also incorporate historical attributes of the wealthy and high-ranked: they are often pale due to the climate (a fair complexion indicated that one did not have to labor in the sun) and wear the color blue.

Winter Royal Ladies often draw heavily from the titular character of ''Literature/TheSnowQueen'', a regal woman who rules over snow creatures in the permafrost. Expect them to have a similar ice-themed title, like "The Ice Princess", to emphasize this reference, and to have a suitably frosty personality as well. Because of ''The Snow Queen'', how [[IceQueen ice has connotations of distance, danger, and mystery]], how [[WaterIsWomanly water itself is associated with womanhood]], and how [[TrueBlueFemininity blue]] and white are associated with femininity, this trope skews female, although male examples exist.

[[ElementalPersonalities Ice is traditionally associated with cold, aloof, and controlling personalities]], which match the characterization often used for haughty and commanding royals and nobles.

* ''Fanfic/QueensOfMewni'': Celestia, Queen of Winter, an [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]] expy with white hair, snowflakes for cheekmarks, [[AnIcePerson ice powers]] and a preference for blue (she would even wear a dress similar to Elsa's for her coronation). However, none of the above is why she's called the Queen of Winter, no, that would be because of her botching a spell and causing the EndlessWinter that defined her reign, which ultimately makes her a tragic character. Her tapestry shows a sad Celestia, in furs and warm clothing, staring sadly at her wand as snow falls across Mewni.
