Geocache Description:



Lady Boreal is a character who appears in Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July. According to that same special, she was the source of the glow in Rudolph's red nose.

Lady Boreal was the queen of the Northern Lights, and appeared in human form to stop Winterbolt's tyranny. She puts him in a deep sleep that will go on as long as she lives. In a way she also guided Santa Claus to the North Pole, where he can continue making toys for children. Sadly, she could not be human forever. She became the Northern Lights again. All of her spells wore off in the process, including Winterbolt's imprisonment.

When she learns of Winterbolt's plan to have Santa lost in a fog, she is determined to stop it. But she is now too weak to stop him again. To help Santa with his journey, she leaves something to "guide him". She visits the den of Rudolph's family, and leaves him a mark on his hoove, a star encased in a snowflake. This gives Rudolph the ability to glow his nose. She said nothing is forever, but the magic she used on Rudolph is stronger then that. She warns him though that if he used his nose for evil, the magic will fade away. She then once again returns to the form of the Northern Lights.

Later on, Lady Boreal is heard from again, only this time in the form of the Northern Lights. She tells Rudolph if he want his magic back, he must be brave in the face of danger. After which it will glow again.


The winter series theme this year involves characters from the classic Rankin/Bass Stop-Motion animation TV Specials that first aired in the 60's, 70's, and early 80's.
