Description, I thought it was interesting. 

Deigha (pronounced: dye-ha) , the eldest of the Raithean guardians, or spirits of the four seasons. Her name was derived from the word "deigh" which literally means ice in Scottish Gaelic (I've been into gaelic stuff recently XD)

Like her other seasonal counterparts, Deigha had sworn to bring & protect her given season. Every year, on the last day of autumn, from the northern mountains to the southern woods she'll spread winter wherever she stepped foot. And as the last season of the year, she manifests the form of an elderly lady.

Her hat was inspired by traditional Russian hats worn when winter was the harshest there. The scarf is a fox fur.

Her back doesn't literally have a whole landscape on it, it's just a representation of what she is responsible over (from the northern mountains to the southern woods remember!).

Also why is her right horn's broken? Well, that's a story for another day...
