''The Lord of the Winds'' is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenets_people Nenets]] fairy tale. Several versions are recorded, but the main storyline is the same in all of them.
One day, a great snowstorm begins and doesn't seem to end, and the Nenets camps are freezing and starving. A poor but wise old man figures out that Kotura, the lord of the winds, must have sent the snowstorm with some purpose, and that purpose is probably to find a wife. Therefore, the old man sends his eldest daughter to Kotura's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chum_(tent) chum]], with very particular instructions on how to get there and what to do on the way (she shouldn't stop for the first part of the road, she should be kind to the bird she will meet on her way etc.). The eldest daughter promptly forgets it all, stops on her way to clean the snow off her boots and shoos away a half-frozen bird she encounters. When she does come to Kotura's chum, she behaves rudely and impertinently and fails in every task he gives her, which results in Kotura throwing her out into the snow where she freezes to death. That pattern is repeated with the old man's second daughter.
The third one, on the other hand, follows her father's instructions to a T and then completes all the challenges issued by Kotura. He finally stops the snowstorm and asks the girl to marry him.
!! The fairytale provides examples of:
* BravingTheBlizzard: All three girls go to Kotura's chum by themselves – in the midst of a fierce snowstorm. The youngest one gets the worst of it, because by that time Kotura gets irritated with her sisters, and the wind grows stronger.
* DefrostingIceKing: Kotura reveals his softer side after meeting the brave and kind youngest girl.
* EndlessWinter: The threat that looms before humanity if Kotura's mood doesn't change.
* GrimUpNorth: The story doesn't attempt to sugarcoat the severe conditions of tundra nomadic life.
* ImpossibleTask: Kotura orders each of the girls to sew new clothes for him. In less than a day. Subverted, as he knows it's impossible for a human girl to manage it, and expects them to ensure the help of Kotura's mother and sisters.
* LaughOfLove: Kotura's behavior in the youngest girl's presence, from the first moment he sees her.
* MaybeEverAfter: Kotura asks the girl to marry him. The end. Her reply isn't given, nor is it said what happens if, by any chance, she isn't willing.
* MeetTheInLaws: Kotura arranges for his mother and sisters to meet his potential bride, the latter being unaware they are related to him.
* MultipleEndings: The fate of the old man's elder daughters is different in different versions. In one, they are frozen, in another, they simply come back home after Kotura sends them away. The Soviet stop-motion adaptation has the [[CompositeCharacter elder daughter]] turned into an old woman.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: The elder girls tell Kotura they came to marry him, and he is not impressed. The youngest says she came to ask him to stop the blizzard.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Played with. The old man makes a big deal of how outraged Kotura is, but when each of the girls (even the eldest ones) meets Kotura himself, he is perfectly polite towards them and treats them to dinner.
* SilkHidingSteel: The youngest girl is kind, gentle and perfect with household duties, but she won't hesitate to go on a dangerous task through a snowstorm and face the Lord of the Winds without flinching if necessary. Kotura admits how he admires her courage.
* YoungestChildWins: Obviously, with the youngest girl of three. In one of the versions, the second-youngest is also nicer than the eldest one: she is good-hearted, if a little stupid.
