Khione

"Hot? You dare insult me? I'm cold, Leo Valdez, Very Cold."

- Khione

Khione, the Greek goddess of snow, sister of Zethes and Calais, and daughter of Boreas, god of the north winds.

History
Khione is the daughter of Boreas, the North Wind and Oreithyia, whom he abducted. The Eumolpidae in charge of the Eleusinian mysteries claimed descent from her, as the mother of Eumolpus with Poseidon.

The Lost Hero
When Jason, Piper, and Leo see Khione in Boreas' palace in Quebec, Piper and Jason find her personality to be cold and proud, all except for Leo, who had a crush on her and even still has feelings for her after Jason and Piper explain how cruel she is. When Boreas suggests that he could make them ice statues, she seems very inclined to the idea, suggesting that she might like Jason. In the end of The Lost Hero, it is revealed that Khione betrayed the three demigods by joining Gaia in her conquest. Leo throws fire at her but she disappears, though not before turning the Hunters into ice statues (later saved by Hera). She supposedly melts, but it is undetermined if she is gone for good. She seems to be smarter than her brothers and is vain.

Trivia

 * Even though it hardly ever snowed in Greece, they still had a snow goddess, albeit mentioned in passing. Interestingly, Rick Riordan always asumed that there wasn't a goddess of snow becuase of where Greece was until sometime before making The Lost Hero
 * She's insulted when she's called "hot" because she's the goddess of snow.
 * It could be implied that Khione was attracted to Jason because when she saw Jason and Piper holding hands, she burned their hands with cold. Lycaon said that Jason also made an impression on "her" referring to Khione, but that could be because Jason shocked Khione really badly.
