Background / History
Ymir is a member of the Spurglin royal family, the sister of Emperor Dopler Spurglin and the great-granddaughter of Qi Master Grandmaster Andrew Spurglin. Her brother later reveals that the Oma Senate had developed murderous intentions toward her; enfeoffing her to the harsh western frontier was intended to remove her from the Imperial Capital and protect her. 78 304 322
After the failure of Oma's reform movement, Ymir is treated as an exile despite retaining her title as Eldest Princess. Her political standing remains significant enough that First Prince Quentin seeks support against her, while noble families consider marriage alliances as a means of gaining influence over her future territory. 82 84 100
Rein first encounters Ymir severely wounded and alone in the Ice Ridge Wasteland. She has a fractured left arm, a chest wound, and a lingering negative Extraordinary power that obstructs her healing. Though she wakes after only one night, she initially remains distant and guarded. 31 36
When Rein attempts to leave, Ymir calls him back and offers him employment. She protects him through the Bakenya Highlands, including driving off a pack of Jackalmen with a display of frost power, and travels with him toward Snow Eagle Fortress. 31 32
Appearance
Ymir is a tall, graceful woman with golden hair, a composed bearing, and an aristocratic presence that remains apparent even when she is injured or traveling through the wasteland. In public, she commonly conceals her face behind a golden mask. 31 84
- Golden hair and crystalline eyes. 31 102
- Usually wears a cold golden mask, a luxurious court swordsman's uniform, and a slender rapier at her waist. 84
- Uses high-grade enchanted combat armor combining silver scale mail, fitted leather, and protective plates over vital areas. 102
- Her personal guard consists primarily of female court swordswomen in heavy armor. 102
Personality
Ymir is notably calm under pressure. After waking badly injured in the wilderness, she neither panics nor lashes out at Rein, instead responding with restrained politeness and a consistently aloof manner. Her ability to remain composed also extends to violence and political crises. 31 36
She is direct and decisive in negotiations. When Rein reveals the existence of a higher-civilization mechanical-city wreckage, Ymir immediately drafts a binding magical contract rather than bargaining through vague promises. She favors long-term mutual benefit over exploiting an ally for short-term gain. 103 104
Ymir does not pry into secrets unnecessarily. Although she suspects Rein concealed her steam locomotive and later learns that he possesses unusual abilities and information, she chooses not to interrogate him when doing so would not serve their agreement. 32 104
Her political ideals center on equality and practical cooperation. She supports equal treatment for allies regardless of whether they are nobles or commoners, works to integrate Oma officials with the Kolman Tribe, and helps build Black Dragon City's governing structure around those principles. 171 194
Away from court formality, Ymir becomes more relaxed and approachable. She makes an effort to learn Kolman customs, visits Udo in her shack without attendants, and has a private fondness for desserts despite trying not to be seen indulging in them. 198 319

Story Role / Major Arcs
Mechanical City Cooperation
Ymir personally bails Rein out of the City of Radiance Security Department after he is targeted through an Ice Element Origin Law Crystal incident. Rein then offers the location of a higher-civilization mechanical-city wreckage in exchange for protection, cultivation resources, and cooperation. Ymir accepts his conditions and formalizes the partnership through a magical contract. 101 102 103 104
She plans to seek a Divine Power Crystal for her own advancement before beginning the mechanical-city treasure hunt. Rein warns her that the Ashen Forest may be connected to a coming “great terror,” and Ymir accepts the warning without demanding the source of his information. 104
Ashen Forest and Temple Expedition
Rein enters the war fog to find Ymir during her classified Morogos temple operation. Although she initially has a strong force of trusted subordinates with her, she grants Rein privacy for his warning and ultimately accepts his assessment that the temple area is a dead land, retreating with her group. 155 157
Later, Ymir leads Black Dragon City's vanguard into the Temple of the Cold Wind. She directs the response to coordinated skeleton defenders, helps face a powerful Legendary-tier female skeleton, and obtains her lineage's Ice Calamity Domain inheritance from the ruins. 205 206 207 208
Founding of Black Dragon City
Ymir becomes the principal administrator of Black Dragon City after her faction merges with Rein's and the Kolman Tribe. She presides over the territory's first senior-official meeting, promotes a governance model built around equality and public welfare, and helps establish the city while Rein serves as City Lord. 194
Though Rein holds the City Lord title, Ymir manages much of the territory's practical administration. She oversees development plans for infrastructure, agriculture, hospitals, academies, airships, and mechanical production. 196 296
When Oma attempts to treat Black Dragon City as a vassal territory, Ymir outmaneuvers Duke Haus by emphasizing that the city belongs to Rein rather than to her personally. This denies Oma an easy claim of suzerainty over the city. 302
Return to the Imperial Capital
Ymir returns to the Oma Imperial Capital with Rein when Emperor Dopler's health deteriorates. She is greeted by citizens as the Frost Swordswoman and later remains at her brother's bedside as the succession crisis escalates. 303 305
During the imperial conflict, Ymir publicly supports exposing the Second Prince's suspected manipulation by the Evil God's faith. She later fights Vampire Lilith in the Imperial Capital, using her Ice Law to restrict Lilith's Bat Transformation. 330 333
