I am become death, The Shatterer of Worlds.

[Quoting from the 2,000-year-old Bhagavad Gita of India at the instant the first test atomic device exploded.]

Winter can't touch Leven in "Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo" because she is a shatterer, a creature that disintegrates anything she touches. Winter avoids touching Leven to protect him from harm.
