Her name comes from her ice themed family, who are very much into hiking, mountain climbing, and even ice excavation. They are known to live in the mountains high above the Crystal Empire, and will come down to sell their goods every few years or so. Their hauls consist of ice dragon scales, claws, and teeth, special snowdrops and herbs preserved in crystalized ice ( which is one of her talents; turning ice to see-through, precious crystals ), jewelry made from the ice, furs from caribou, elk, and even feathers from ptarmigans.
While it is tradition to live up in the mountainous terrains, Glacia prefers to live down in Equestria, where she likes to explore the warmer areas. Her body is cold to the touch due to a spell she casts on herself to keep her fur from overheating herself.
Personality wise, Glacia is a quiet Draconequus, but will easily speak her mind on something she finds bad or distasteful. She can be picky about what she likes, and will spend hours casting and recasting her spells to make sure each bead on her ice jewelry is perfect. At times, she can be finicky with her work as well as herself, and she’s very blunt when she speaks her mind.
Despite everything she says and does, Glacia is a very soft hearted and kind Draconequus deep down. Her closest friend and her shoulder to cry on is her best friend Glow Sticks, a very odd pegasus with strange markings on his body.
