Fixing Crystal Winter because Epic Winter sucks: So, I personally have two visions on how to fix Crystal,A canon-adjacent version that essentially serves as a rewrite of Epic Winter, but still considers the OG series to be canon.The other one is the version of Crystal that I would do if I were in charge of the remake of the show.
1) Canon Consistent Crystal: In this version Crystal is the daughter of the Snow Queen; The family's last name is Dronning (which is "Queen" in Danish, so nothing too strange). Similar to Cedar, Crystal is a magical offspring here. The queen had her by reanimating the corpse of an orphan. This causes Crystal to have her classic purple skin, but above all she can't stand her mother because she took her away from heaven.
In this version of Epic Winter, the Snow Queen is actually evil. and takes advantage of Daring's emotionally vulnerable state to make him grooming and make him her husband. Crystal then decides to go to EAH to contact her childhood friends Raven and Faybelle, because she was determined to dethrone her mother after seeing yet another evil deed committed. From here on, a huge party is created to go and save Daring.
The reason why I replaced Brilynn with FayVen as Crystal's childhood friends It's because like them Crystal is the daughter of an evil queen with magical powers, so realistically, they are the ones she would have played with as a child because their mothers belong to the same social circle.
2) Crystal in the PontiVerse: In this version Crystal here remains Crystal Winter but as her surname suggests, she is the daughter of Old Man Winter. As elementals, in addition to not being required to attend EAH, Crystal and her family have been passing down the secret to creating magic mirrors for years. Precisely for this reason, when the Evil Queen's war began, Milton Grimm requested that the Winters be moved from their home in Book End because he feared (rightly for once) that just as EQ was trying to take the Jabberwocky, the Winters would be his next victim. At present, his family still lives in Book End. Crystal is Meeshell and Coral's age (so still a child) and is friends with Maddie. She and her dad will come in handy later in the story when, with the return of EQ and the ensuing second war, magical allies are needed.
So, this is the situation. What do you think?
