When a genasi has two elements in its ancestry instead of only one, those elements often interfere with each other and produce only one element or the other -- but sometimes, the two elements work in harmony and the genasi manifests a dual element instead of one of the normal four.

As an ice genasi, you have manifested both air and water, connecting you with the enduring dual-element of ice, water that has been robbed of its heat. You are nearly emotionless, except when pushed to anger or grief, which you feel very rarely and only in the worst of situations.

Ice genasi have pale skin made out of a fragile, flexible crystal, usually a cloudy white or bluish-white, but sometimes a vibrant blue-black color instead. They are a bit larger than humans on average and cold to the touch, often developing condensation water upon their skin just by existing. Many ice genasi have blue, black, or white hair, usually of a very soft and fine texture, but others have rigid crystals sprouting from their head instead of hair, with no hair anywhere upon their body. Ice genasi have blue eyes, but they vary in shades from nearly white to deep indigo.
