As found documented, within their early foundations, men and women of House Winter blood have the quintessential appearance of the average Aegisian Northerner (the updated politically correct term being Highlander). Thus, a Winter possesses paler skin than most other cultures of Humanity. They’ve usually black or brown hair, and dark brown or blue eyes. The height and weight of a Winter is similar to that of the common, everyday Human. Due to their actions within Orenian nobility, members of House Winter have often intermingled with Humans of cosmopolitical cultures and traits, therefore producing offspring with slightly differentiated appearances.

Appearance

One of the more common inherent qualities of a typical member of House Winter would be their statesmanlike presence. Usually in their endeavors, a Winter tends to maintain composure with their calm and collective mannerisms. As it is, the words of a Winter are usually cautiously chosen for a purpose of eloquence and professionalism. Many of the House are known to have control over emotions rather than being brash and hotheaded. They are a people born of shrewd diplomacy and a hint of arrogance. Indeed, some of the family feel a sense of self-importance, but it is this that fuels their ambitions and makes Winters even more hell-bent on achieving set goals rather than plain foolish narcissism. It is to be remembered, throughout history, Winters have been sought by Kings and Emperors for their advice and wisdom.
