| The Ohms of Citera are creatures born from the magic of the land. In other worlds, they would be known as elementals, but unlike those elementals, there is only one Ohm for each element. For example, there is only one Ohm of snow, Winter. But there is also an Ohm of ice, Frost. Ohms are known to be child-like, yet ancient; they can appear young or old as they please (Frost often wanders among mortals as "Old man winter"). Ohms display traits of their elements; Winter is only around for half the year, but sometimes she'll appear on cool summer mornings, or can be seen high in the mountains; Blaze, the Ohm of fire, is as fickle as his name-sake, with a hot temper. |  |

Winter is a care-free spirit, wandering where she pleases, when she pleases. If she wishes to come late, she does. If she wishes to stay late, she will. She drops snow at the slightest whim, every flake a piece of frosty lace that she created herself. And when one land is blanketed with fresh powder, she dances off to the next. Winter does not like warm places, as she has a dendency to melt, but she has been known to wander into towns and villages where she'll stay for weeks; and wherever she goes, a lingering cold follows; next to the hottest blaze, Winter will still be as chill as fresh fallen snow. |
| Like all Ohms, Winter can appear in whatever form she wishes to. Most times she is a mindless, care-less snow cloud hovering high above the earth waiting to drop her load. When she takes humanoid form, she is normally slight and petite, a fragile slip of a girl. Her face is always that of a youthful girl just out of adolesence, and her eyes are depthless pools of winter. Her skin color is always pale, though the exact shade varies. Her hair can be many frosty colors including green and blue, and is always littered by white streaks that almost look like feathers; the same applies to the color of her eyes. She always wears dresses, the skirts cut to end raggedly just below her knees, in shades of winter whites and blues and greens, and she is always barefoot. Sometimes she will wear a circlet of pale gold, but whenever she leaves Citera, bracers and anklets of the same metal are present; the Ohms may not leave Citera without physical bonds to remind them of their magical bonds to the land. |  |

In most worlds, elementals are mischevious by nature, or are so wild that they have connections to nothing but the land, but this is not so with Ohms. The Ohms of Citera are welcome guests in the courts of magic (although the courts of mortals hold no interest to them) and many are seated on the High Council. Winter herself is too flighty to be a member, but she is well respected by the Fae and other creatures of magic, and is sometimes asked to participate in ceremonies like the raising of Lords. |
