Crystal Maiden
Rylai, an ice sorceress banished to the frozen north for freezing everything around her.
Crystal Maiden is a ranged Intelligence hero in Dota 2 played mostly as a support. Crystal Nova slows and damages an area, Frostbite roots a target in ice, and Arcane Aura raises mana regeneration for her team. Her ultimate, Freezing Field, surrounds her with exploding ice shards while she channels.
Background
Rylai grew up with her fiery older sister Lina, but her natural affinity for ice froze rivers, ruined harvests and toppled orchards. Their parents sent Lina south and Rylai north to Icewrack, where an Ice Wizard living atop the Blueheart Glacier taught her before retiring into the ice to sleep for a thousand years.
