Ice Witch
IFNE 01/18 In retrieving the Oriceran Stone, Shay had to meet and defeat the Ice Witch, a dark magic entity who was interested in getting the stone herself.
Her real name is Yulia Solokova, and she sometimes goes by the name Snegurka. Yulia is a formidable opponent for Shay. Shay thought she might actually be loosing her fight, until she brought out the grenades. After using them, the Ice Witch disappeared, and Shay was uncertain if she had been injured, was dead, or had just gone off to fight another day. shay was concerned, when she got home, that tYulia might be trying to find her, and freexe her into a block of ice for eternity, so stayed low profile for awhile.
Did not again encounter the Ice witch in Book 1.
