In Heroes of the Storm, the Winter Queen takes the role of a tough healer that protects and heals her allies by distributing anima between them: whilst stealing anima from the enemy to weaken their attacks.
The Winter Queen is the creator and ruler of the realm of Ardenweald and its inhabitants, the Night Fae, who defend the spirits of nature. She is charged with the sacred task of maintaining the cycle of rebirth: restoring perished Wild Gods, Ancients, loa, and other nature spirits and returning them to the mortal plane. She and the land are one; when the land thrives, so does she.
