The Queen of Snow (whose real name is Lumi[1] which means snow in Finnish/Estonian) is an NPC who features as part of the 2007 Christmas event and 2008 Christmas event. She is the wife to Nick (also known as Santa Claus) and mother to a 44-year-old son, Jack Frost. Jack (in human years) is 17 years old, and therefore considered a "teenager".

[edit] 2007 Christmas event
Talk to: Happy Christmas, noble visitor. Welcome to the Land of Snow. I have a gift for you, if you would like it.
- Ooh, a present? It is a snow globe: a tiny model of your Lumbridge Castle enchanted with a little of this land's magical snow. The Queen of Snow hands you a snow globe. If you lost it, I have given Diango of Draynor Village a supply of spares.
- Happy Christmas, Your Majesty. And a Happy New Year to you.
- Why have you sent snow to RuneScape? A snowy Christmas is a tradition that I have sadly neglected in recent years; what is Christmas without the hope of snow? There can be no hope of snow if snow never comes.
- What is the Land of Snow? The Land of Snow was created aeons ago by Guthix, as part of his balancing of the world. The coldness of this place counteracts the heat of the great deserts and volcanoes of others; ensuring the correct balance of hot and cold.
- What is the snow globe for? Nothing, besides your idle amusement. It is imbued with a little of the snow imps' magic. When you shake it, it will call some snow to you from the Land of Snow.
- I want to go back to RuneScape. Very well. You may return here during Christmas-time, when the Land of Snow is close to RuneScape. Just speak to a snowman or snow imp.
[edit] Trivia
- She might be a reference to the White Witch from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S.Lewis. Her ice headdress is similar to that designed for the White Witch in the 2005 film adaptation.
- She could also be inspired by the book The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, which also involved a land of ice and snow.
- Another possibility her design could have been inspired by Prince Snow Kaguya from the anime movie: Sailor Moon S: The Movie: Hearts in Ice.
- She is the only "pure" ice sprite known in the game. (since her son is half human)
- Her name was revealed to be Lumi in December of 2008's Postbag from the Hedge, in response to a letter sent by a player. Lumi means snow in Finnish/Estonian.
- She has no relation with the Ice Queen killed during the Heroes' Quest, although, they look similar.
- Although she is said to normally live in the Palace of Snow, players could not access this palace in the 2007 Christmas event, nor the 2008 Christmas event.
