Khione, goddess of snow

In Greek mythology, Chione (Ancient Greek: Χιόνη Chione from χιών chiōn, "snow") was the daughter of Boreas, the god of the north wind, and Orythia. Her mother was the daughter of the Athenian king Erechtheus, son of Pandion I, and Praxithea, daughter of Potamus Phrasimos and the nymph Diogeneia, and was carried away by the wind Boreas (Boreas or Boreas, in Greek mythology, is the north wind that brings winter or devours, and, according to Hesiod, the son of Astraeus and Eos, and is the brother of Hesperus, Eurus, Zephyrus and Notus). Orythia and Boreas had two daughters, Cleopatra and Chione, and two sons, Zetes and Calais.

According to a later, though generally accepted, tradition, Khione was the mother of Poseidon's son Eumolpus, whom she threw into the ocean for fear of his father's reaction; however, Eumolpus was rescued by his father and taken to Ethiopia, where he was given to Benthesicyme , his daughter by Amphitrite. After several adventures, Eumolpus was killed by Erechtheus during the war between Eleusis and Athens.

Khione is the beautiful goddess of snow, but she is a minor goddess and one of the least serious on Olympus. She has great wisdom and insight, and her intelligence is second only to that of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Since she is usually alone, she lives on top of a snowy mountain and often cries a lot due to her loneliness. She is sometimes insecure and is easily pressured by her spouses into things she does not want to do, and because of this, she is very hesitant with her feelings, but once she cares about you, she is kind and caring. She is very honest and fair.

Khione's dress is the color of snow, so that she can blend in with the white snow of her home. Khione's hair is dark brown and her skin is fair. Her eyes are blue and she has a headband of flowers shaped like a snowflake on top of her head. She also has a necklace shaped like a snowflake. It has some of her powers over snow and ice trapped inside it, and she likes to use it to turn people into ice sculptures.
