'''Snowman''' is a character from the (rather infamous) webcomic ''Homestuck'' created by Andrew Hussie, which was hosted on the ''MS Paint Adventures'' website. Originally known as the '''Black Queen''' and ruler of the planet Derse, she was exiled to planet Alternia and would eventually take a new name and become a renowed member of The Felt, a gang of time-travelling mobsters with a pool billiards motif that operate across numerous universes and timelines. She holdshas an odd, rivalrycontentious relationship with her former vassal, [[Spades Slick]], leader of the rival gang the Midnight Crew. Killing her is something "out of the question," as her death will result in the destruction of the universe.
 
She's named after the slang term for pocket 8's in the game poker, due to the similarity in shape between a snowman and the number '8'. Furthermore,Snowman's herlifespan namebeing seemstied ironicto the universe may as well be related to her blacknumber carapacetoo, isas uniquethe among8-ball Themust Felt,be andpocketed alast snowmanin Eight Ball Pool: if it is usuallypocketed earlier, the player who pocketed it whiteloses.
 
In the Ms. /co/ tournaments, Snowman is notable for two things: being the first and only ''Homestuck'' character to qualify in any edition of either tournament, and being granted the lowest"Literally seededWho?" characteraward in the inaguralof [[Ms. /co/ 2018]], which was given out to her during a [[Vocaroos|PsyAnon vocaroo]]. She also appears to bear a striking resemblance with [[Queen Tyr'ahnee|anothera more succesfull extraterrestrial monarch]] in both looks and personality.
 
==Tournament History==
Snowman is a very unusual contender in many ways: as of 2022, the series she originates from is almost completely banned from being discussed on the board outside of very exceptional occasions; she is only a tertiary character in relation to webcomic's main plot, and is largely seen as undeservely neglected by the fanbase to boot. One way or another, however, Snowman is to date the only character in the entirety of ''Homestuck'' to successfully qualify into the main bracket. Several attempts to make other ''Homestuck'' characters qualify have been made through the years, but due to the series' rather infamous nature, no other attempt has been successful. The Ms. /co/ 2018 nomination pool being limited to just 154 characters and Snowman's own evocative features, as well as (ironically enough) lack of inmediate association with her webcomic are most likely the reasons why she managed to make the 2018 bracket at all. As a #128 seed, Snowman was pitted againts the #1 seed and promptly lost to the DC superheroine [[Raven]].
