In the frozen lands of the North, a woodcutter's wife gives birth to her ninth child. The newborn is a daughter, and the woodcutter's wife has no need of more daughters, already having had three. Frustrated by her ill luck, the woodcutter's wife refuses to give her youngest a name. Since naming daughters falls to the wife, the child remains nameless, referred to as the Lass by her kindly older brother, Hans Peter. It isn't until a decade later when she encounters a legendary white reindeer that the Lass receives a name, and the ability to talk to animals.For the next several years, the Lass uses her gift to help her neighbors. Unfortunately, her gift is useless when it comes to understanding her beloved Hans Peter; he came back home one day with a sadness in his eyes and a beautiful parka with odd embroidery, but her questions regarding these things are left unanswered.It isn't until she's whisked away to an ice palace by a polar bear that she has a chance to figure out the truth. The polar bear has demanded she stay with him for a year. While he and his servants are equally tight-lipped, the Lass may have enough time to dig for clues that'll help not just her brother, but the polar bear as well. The truth, however, may be more dangerous than anything she could've anticipated.Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow is a 2008 young adult fantasy novel by Jessica Day George. The novel is a retelling of the Norwegian fairy tale "East of the Sun and West of the Moon". | |

Tongue-Tied | |
| Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow / int_203f069d | comment |
Tongue-Tied: The enchantment over the ice bear and his servants keeps all of them from being able to be frank with the Lass. And if they do happen to get around the enchantment and let her in on their unpleasant situation, whoever did so is killed. | |

Twice-Told Tale | |
| Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow / int_796a7bfc | comment |
Twice-Told Tale: The novel is a retelling of "Østenfor sol og vestenfor måne" ("East of the Sun and West of the Moon"), a Norwegian fairy tale. It's a pretty faithful retelling too, including some minor details as well as the bigger plot beats. | |

Parental Favoritism | |
| Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow / int_88933ad4 | comment |
Parental Favoritism: Frida vastly prefers her third son, Askeladden, over her other children. In the North, third son's are considered lucky, so she doesn't heap any unkind words on him like she would the Lass or Hans Peter. | |

Fluffy Tamer | |
| Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow / int_94e17e7e | comment |
Fluffy Tamer: Thanks to receiving a name from the white reindeer, the Lass can communicate with any and every animal. This includes Rollo, her wolf companion, and the ice bear that she has to live with for exactly one year. | |

| Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow / int_9853e107 | comment |
Elective Mute: Fiona the selkie can speak, but doing so in front of a human will put them in her enthrall. It isn't until the Lass points out that she's immune to any selkie enchantments that Fiona finally speaks in the Lass's presence. | |

The Nameless | |
| Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow / int_cad57f30 | comment |
The Nameless: The Lass was never given a name by her mother, and since naming a daughter is left to the mother, she remains so. Even after receiving a name from the white reindeer, the narrative defaults to calling her "the Lass". | |

Friend to All Living Things | |
| Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow / int_e21faf11 | comment |
Friend to All Living Things: The Lass is generally friendly to anyone she encounters. This extends to the fae servants; once she gets over their startling appearances, she does her best to be kind and open. | |

TheUNFavourite | |
| Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow / int_f19ff224 | comment |
The Un-Favourite: The Lass's mother, Frida, disparages her existence to the point of refusing to give her youngest daughter a name. Frida usually ignores the Lass and when she does deign to acknowledge her, its mostly to snap out some order or unpleasant remark. Out of her sons, Hans Peter is her least favorite. Despite being obviously depressed, Frida can only badger him about making himself useful. | |
