Lorelai Snart (Guardian Arrowverse: Earth-1)

Lorelai Marie Snart {later known as Lorelai Marie Ramon}(born November 2, 1992) is a citizen of Central City and a member of a group known as the Guardians. She is the youngest of three siblings, having one older sister, Lisa, and older brother, Leonard. Her father was a police officer with a dirty reputation and her mother was a nurse with an addiction to pills. Her father was arrested when she was nine and later that year her mother went to rehab, leaving Lorelai and Lisa under the care of their brother, Leonard. Shortly after Lauren returned from rehab, Leonard and Lisa were arrested for different crimes and sent to juvenile detention centers, so Lauren took Lorelai to live in Coast City. After high school, Lorelai joined the Coast City Police Academy and eventually earned her detective's shield a couple years later. However, Lauren committed suicide and Lorelai transferred to Central City.

Lorelai's first year as part of the Central City Police Department, she was partnered with Fred Chyre and Joe West. On the night of the S.T.A.R Labs Particle Accelerator explosion, Lorelai was shot and was turned into a meta-human with the ability to produce and manipulate ice and cold. She eventually joined forces with Elizabeth Mendel and Barry Allen, becoming the super-heroine known as Ice Princess. Lorelai also bonds to the Bear's Head gem after selflessly accepting her duty to protect Central City, even though it means fighting against her brother and sister.

Lorelai later becomes the wife of Cisco Ramon/Vibe and a year after their wedding, they have a son they name after their respective older brothers; Dante Leo Ramon (who takes up his father's mantle "Vibe" in the year 2040). She is best friends with Barry Allen/The Flash, Elizabeth Mendel/Mother Nature, and Elena Queen-Harper/Nightingale/Thunder Eagle, and close friend of Claire Daniels-Allen/Carbuncle, Dr. Caitlin Snow/Frost, Theo Daniels, Iris West-Daniels, and Ralph Dibny/Enlongated Man.

Early Life
Lorelai was born on November 2, 1990. Her father, Lewis Snart, was a corrupt police officer who took his anger out on her mother, her sister Lisa, her brother Leonard, and herself until he was sent to prison. Her mother, Lauren, was a nurse who had an addiction to pills and was constantly in and out of rehab. When Loerlai was a kid, her grandfather took her and her siblings to a diner right across from Central City Precinct named the Motorcar. After Lewis was imprisoned, and Lauren yet again entered rehab, Lorelai and Lisa were raised by Leonard.

When Lorelai was nine, her brother and sister were both arrested and her mother, Lauren, took the two of them away to Coast City where they lived until she reached adulthood. Lorelai received her detective's shield at age 21 and that same night, her mother committed suicide via overdose on pills and alcohol. Lorelai then transferred to the Central City Police Department.

First Year at CCPD and first romance in Central City
When Lorelai transferred to the Central City Police Department, she wasn't entirely met with open arms due to her last name. Veteran officers who remembered her father paid her no attention, believing she would turn out like him in the long run. Joe West, however, saw something in her and took her under his wing. Joe soon came to see Lorelai as another daughter and looked out for her both on the job and off. This came into play when Lorelai crossed paths with ex-cop turned private detective Ralph Dibny, who turned on the charm and wooed Lorelai. Despite the countless warnings from Joe and CSI Barry Allen, Lorelai entered into a relationship with Ralph, a decision she would later come to regret. She dated him for five months, but when he wanted to take it a step further and get physical, which Lorelai wasn't ready for, Ralph dumped her and left her believing all men were like her father.

Visiting Starling City
A little over a year with the CCPD, Lorelai became good friends with Barry Allen and Dr. Claire Daniels, and decided to help them out when Barry came across a strange case in Starling City. The trio headed there via train and helped the SCPD with the case; a break in at the Queen Consolidated Applied Sciences building where the steel door was ripped off it's hinges and a security guard was murdered and an industrial centrifuge was stolen. When she wasn't working the case, Lorelai befriended Elena Queen and the two shared a couple drinks at Elena's club, Verdant. Lorelai was later invited to a party at the Queen Mansion, along with Barry and Claire, and during this time, met Selena Merlyn, who discovered she was one of the Guardians she was searching for. Before Lorelai left to go back to Central City, she was gifted a silver chain necklace with the Bear's Head gem attached to it, an apparent gift from Selena as a token of thanks. Lorelai proceeded to wear the necklace every day since.

Lorelai later visited Starling City again a couple months after the S.T.A.R Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, this time with Elizabeth Mendel. She acted as a protection detail for Dr. Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon, two employees of S.T.A.R Labs who were taking inventory in a company warehouse leased in Starling City. What she thought would be an uneventful couple days, turned out to be the opposite. Late at night, the warehouse was broken into by Slade Wilson/Deathstroke and a security guard was murdered in the process. When Deathstroke saw Lorelai, Elizabeth, Cisco, and Caitlin, he proceeded to chase them with the intent to kill, however, he was blasted back by a combination of ice and fire, which were the result of Lorelai and Elizabeth's powers manifesting for the first time. In a post-credits scene, Lorelai and Elizabeth went to S.T.A.R Labs and told Dr. Harrison Wells about their newfound powers.

Becoming Ice Princess
The night of the Particle Accelerator explosion, Lorelai was working a case with her partners Fred Chyre and Joe West tracking down the Mardon brothers. The detectives tracked the criminals to an abandoned farmhouse outside the city limits and as they closed in, a firefight ensued. Chyre was shot and killed, while Lorelai and Mark's girlfriend, Elizabeth Mendel, were wounded. The Mardon brothers were presumed killed when the dark matter wave destroyed their plane. Joe kept pressure on the gunshot wound on Lorelai's chest as a wave of dark matter washed over her, and her body went into hypothermic shock.

Lorelai woke up two days later in the hospital, and learned about Chyre being killed and Barry being struck by lightning and then going into a coma. In the following weeks, Lorelai began manifesting abilities where everything she touched turned to ice. After fully manifesting powers during an altercation in Starling City, Lorelai began going to S.T.A.R. Labs to learn how to control her abilities and eventually lead to living a normal life. She spent the next nine months training and during that time, became close friends with Elizabeth and helped her through her pregnancy, as well as befriending Theo Daniels, Dr. Caitlin Snow, Dr. Harrison Wells, and forming a close connection to Cisco Ramon, who monitored every single one of Lorelai's training sessions.

Balancing her day job with the CCPD and keeping her powers a secret was not easy. She covered her time at S.T.A.R Labs by saying she was visiting Barry and everyone appeared to believe her. After learning that Clyde Mardon was alive and a meta-human who could control the weather, Lorelai teamed up with Elizabeth and Barry to take him on. Lorelai's motives were personal, as she wanted to get justice for the murder of Chyre. Donning the suits made by Cisco, the three went to the farmhouse on the outskirts of Central City where they faced off against Mardon. While Barry used his speed to unravel the tornado Clyde had created, Lorelai and Elizabeth used their powers of cold and heat that cancelled eachother out and disrupted the tornado's energy. After it's dispersion, Lorelai was thrown back and her mask fell off her face. However, before Clyde could shoot and kill her, Elizabeth, and Barry, he was shot and killed by Joe, who discovered the truth about their new powers.

With some encouragement from Joe, Lorelai began to believe she could do some good with her powers and protect the city from other meta-humans. When Danton Black, a meta with the ability to create clones of himself, goes after his former employer, Simon Stagg, Lorelai suits up alongside Elizabeth and Barry to stop him. During the fight, she discovers that she can create an icy mist by stomping her boot on the ground, and uses this to help her, Barry, and Elizabeth get the upper hand in the fight. However, before Black/Multiplex could be apprehended, he committed suicide by falling to his death.

Lorelai, Barry, and Elizabeth officially formed their team when the meta-human Kyle Nimbus/The Mist came out for revenge. During this case, Lorelai brought her detective skills to work by deducing that Nimbus was executed on the night of the particle accelerator explosion due to the poison gas and sedative in his system. During their first confrontation, Lorelai discovered her ice powers could deal damage to Nimbus' physical body. In the final fight against The Mist, Lorelai used her powers against Nimbus, while Elizabeth used her wind powers to disperse his gaseous form and Barry used his speed to make sure none of them inhaled the poisonous substance. After locking Nimbus in the Pipeline, Cisco named Lorelai "Ice Princess", because she's both beautiful and deadly (one of the first hints he's romantically attracted to her).

Flashpoint
In the timeline where Barry prevented Reverse-Flash from killing Nora Allen (nicknamed "Flashpoint" by Eobard Thawne), Lorelai still remained a cop and was employed by the Central City Police Department. However, her personality was much more different than in the pre-Flashpoint timeline, where she was more aggressive with her collars and had numerous excessive force claims filed against her. Another change is that her partner was Elizabeth Mendel and their superior officer was Joe West. Even though they were partners (both at CCPD and as vigilantes) they didn't get along like they did previously in the pre-Flashpoint timeline.

Since Lorelai never interacted with the members of Team Flash; Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Theo, Elizabeth, and Dr. Wells, she never formed any long-term trusting relationships, and therefore came off as 'ice-cold' or 'frigid'. She still had her Meta-Human/Guardian powers in this timeline, yet it is unclear exactly how that came to be. She instead went by the codename "Winter Bear" or simply "Winter", due to her displaying her Bear's Head gem over her uniform instead of concealing it. Whenever she used her powers, her eyes would glow ice-blue and her visible skin would become frostbitten as well as her lips turning blue. She would also seem to enjoy causing pain to her opponents, and would need to be forcibly yanked back by either Elizabeth/Mother Nature or Wally West/The Flash.

One (and possibly the only) similarity between her in the pre-Flashpoint timeline and the Flashpoint timeline is she showed a romantic/sexual attraction to Cisco Ramon, who had become the CEO of his own company, Ramon Industries. It was also implied that they hooked up a few times between when Cisco first designed the suits worn by the three heroes and when Barry gets the old Team Flash back together to stop The Rival.

Various Events

 * In a possible future, Lorelai and the rest of Team Flash has a museum built in their honor in Central City
 * In another unspecified time, presumably erased, Ice Princess, Mother Nature, and the Flash team up with the Atom, Captain Cold and White Canary against an unknown metallic creature.
 * According to Gideon, Lorelai is promoted to the rank of Sergeant and leads a division specifically trained to handle meta-human related cases. This happens in the Star City 2040 flash-forwards where it's mentioned by Dante that his mother's a high-ranking CCPD officer and leads her own division. Since "Crisis on Infinite Earths" this future is erased.

Personality
Lorelai is a guarded individual, which stems from years of emotional and physical abuse from her father during her childhood. She uses that as her motivation for being a cop so others (especially children) wouldn't suffer the way she did. Due to the abuse, she's wary about who she trusts and gets close to, and tends to throw herself into her work. However, when she feels she can trust someone, she holds them closely and is always there, but she secretly has a fear they'll leave. Even though she loves the idea of romance, she's scared she'll never find someone who'll love her because of the physical scars she sustained in her childhood abuse and because of how broken it made her.

Lorelai is a fan of pop culture, having watched tons of movies in her youth and read tons of books as her means to escape her harsh childhood. Because of her love of pop culture, she found a kindred spirit in Cisco Ramon. They became friends after Cisco worked to help Lorelai control her powers after they first manifested a couple months after the Particle Accelerator explosion. There are countless hints in the first season that Lorelai is romantically attracted to Cisco, but her fear keeps her from pursing any form of relationship beyond "just friends".

Becoming the super-heroine Ice Princess gave Lorelai a boost in confidence that maybe she could do some real good for the city she loved outside of her day job. At first, she felt like a freak when she discovered her powers, but after some encouragement from Cisco and Dr. Harrison Wells, she decided to use her powers to protect Central City. She learned quickly that she could trust her teammates; Cisco Ramon, Dr. Caitlin Snow, Theo Daniels, Dr. Wells, and her partners Barry Allen and Elizabeth Mendel. She grew to see her team as her family and loves them as such.

When it came to romantic matters, Lorelai always treaded lightly. She remarks that no matter how hard she tried, she always managed to find men who were like her father; charming in public and possessive. Due to this, she kept to the idea that she would be one of those cops who was "married to her job" and was fine with that, because it was better than being in an abusive relationship. However, her views on that changed when she met Cisco Ramon, who she became attracted to the more they worked together. When Lewis Snart came back to Central City for a heist, which he had coerced Leonard into helping with, Lorelai and her sister, Lisa, told Team Flash about the abuse they suffered as kids. Lorelai ran out of the cortex in tears and hid in Cisco's workroom, where the latter followed her to. Lorelai then showed Cisco the scars on her lower back she had gotten when her father hit her with a jagged bottle when she was eight years old. She then broke into tears and was comforted by Cisco, who just held her and let her cry. After the death of her father, Lorelai described herself as "free to live my life and allow myself to admit how I feel", which led to her kissing Cisco and asking him on a date.

Powers

 * Meta-Human Physiology: The night of the Particle Accelerator explosion, Lorelai was shot in the chest by Clyde Mardon. Due to the fact that it was winter and pouring rain, her body temperature dropped into hypothermia coupled with blood loss. The dark matter wave hitting her at this time caused her body temperature to remain roughly twenty degrees cooler than a normal human's.
 * Accelerated healing factor
 * Cryokinesis
 * Cold immunity
 * Guardian Durability
 * Drakonian Physiology

Abilities

 * Expert hand-to-hand combatant
 * Psychological insight/Master detective
 * Expert Marksman
 * Indomitable Will/High tolerance for pain

Weaknesses

 * Power dampening tech: Like most meta-humans, if Lorelai is wearing power-dampening cuffs, she can't use her powers.
 * Abnormally high temperatures: Similar to Frost, Lorelai can't use her powers when exposed to intense heat.
 * "Flashtime": Like Frost, Lorelai can't use her powers while moving at high speeds since this causes friction between her atoms, which generates extreme heat.
 * Nucelokinesis: Similar to Catilin/Frost, Lorelai can be severely injured, even killed, by nuclear energy.

Equipment

 * Ice Princess suits: Like all heroes, Lorelai has had a few different suits since she became Ice Princess. Like all members of Team Flash, her suit was made by Cisco Ramon.
 * First Ice Princess suit: A suit that was created by Cisco Ramon after he overheard Lorelai and Elizabeth joke about becoming superheroes once they mastered their powers. It's design is based off of the uniform worn by Sara Lance/The Canary. It's made of white leather and the tri-polymer material used in Barry's Flash suit and Elizabeth's Mother Nature suit. It consists of white quad-hugging pants, a tight, white long-sleeved top with open shoulders and halter-neck design, and a white leather short jacket with sleeves up to below her elbows, along with white gloves that reach her elbows and have light blue accent buckles and knee-high white boots with light blue accents. After the fight against Clyde Mardon, Cisco added a circular emblem to Lorela's jacket, white with a gold outline and a pale blue snowflake in the center. For identity concealment, Lorelai wears a pale blue domino mask over her eyes.
 * Second Ice Princess suit: A slightly different version of her suit that she wears in the beginning of season three (due to the changes caused by undoing Flashpoint). It's made of the same white leather/ tri-polymer material blend and consists of white quad-hugging pants, a tight, white long-sleeved top with open shoulders and halter-neck design, and a white leather jacket, white gloves that reach her elbows and have light blue accent buckles and knee-high white boots with light blue accents. She also has the snowflake emblem and pale blue domino mask for identity concealment.
 * Third Ice Princess suit: An upgraded suit Cisco designed during the time Barry was in the Speed Force between seasons three and four. This suit takes some inspiration from Sara Lance's "White Canary" suit.
 * Bear's Head Gem: As a Guardian, Lorelai is in possession of one of the five Drakonian Animal Gems. The gem gives Lorelai increased strength and durability in battle, control over water in all its states (liquid, gas, solid) and amplifies her meta-human powers over ice. Lorelai wears the gem attached to a long, silver chain around her neck.

The Wolf, The Fox, and The Arrow

 * Broken Dolls (guest star)


 * The Scientist (special guest star)
 * Under the Hood (special guest star)

Trivia

 * Although created by Mina A., Lorelai is based on the the character of the same name from the Drakonia and DC Comics who is an Akhlut Mystic who frequently has been a member of the Justice League, Justice League of Detroit and Mystic Misfits.
 * Similar to her comic counterpart, Lorelai is the younger sister of Leonard Snart/Captain Cold and Lisa Snart/Golden Glider who are part of the Flash's Rogue's Gallery, and is also the love interest of Cisco Ramon/Vibe.
 * A small running gag throughout the series is Lorelai being compared to Elsa from Disney's Frozen films due to the nature of her powers, much to her annoyance. However, some movements Lorelai makes while using her powers are similar to movements Elsa makes from the film (i.e. stomping on the ground to freeze it).
