About

Winter-chan is a female anime character created to be an anthropomorphic representation of the winter season. The character is used by members of the web forum 4chan to express the response of right-wing Europeans to those fleeing the Middle East in the European Migrant Crisis.

Origin

On September 18th, a user on the 4chan political board /pol/ created a post entitled "Winter-chan will save us."[1] In the post, the user detailed an idea: to create a manga character who would be used to summon a cold and harsh winter in the way that the user believed that Ebola-chan created a more powerful epidemic. The harsh, cold winter summoned by the Winter-chan would be painful, or fatal, to those fleeing the Middle East in the European Migrant Crisis.

We are at the end of an El Nino cycle and the sun is cooling so we can expect a long and cold winter but there's no harm helping it along To that end meet Winter-chan. I don't draw manga so maybe someone who does could draw a better one The rune on her hat combines the runes for ice, wrath of nature and resistance.

I don't know of any British ones except Jack Frost I suppose

The anime character was intended to look like a blend of current pop culture, including references to Game of Thrones and Frozen and ancient Norse and Germanic mythology. The user wrote:

As with Ebola-chan, users created an entire mythos surrounding the character, using the runic language to create a series of shields and emblems, which they call sigils, and writing a series of songs and chants meant to be used in Wiccan rituals to summon the winter.
