I'm bored enough to start throwing out random author's notes again so uh, author's note: when Spinel first spoke, I tried to give her colored speech like everyone else.  However, since Spinel is associated with the color white that was kind of hard to do.  I think some of her first lines might possibly still be in Snow, but I can't really tell the difference between that and normal colorless text.  I gave up shortly after that point.
