Persona Attributes

Gender Female Origin China, Earthrealm 2nd Timeline: Cyborg/Cryomancer Weapons Ice Daggers (MK:DA, MK:U, MK:A, MK11) Ice Drills (MK11) Ice Scythe (MK11) Cybernetic Weapons (MK11) Fighting Styles Tong Bei (MK:DA, MK:U, MK:A, MK11) Yuan Yang (MK:DA, MK:U, MK11) Frost made her first appearance in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance as Sub-Zero's apprentice, fitting the character archetype of the overly ambitious fledgling. Her dedication to fighting and learning is overshadowed by her desire to be noticed, and a corresponding hostility towards anyone she perceives to be greater than her, including her own master. In the second timeline, Sub-Zero made historic peace with his clan's enemy, Scorpion. Frost, shocked at this decision, challenged her Grandmaster, deeming him unfit to lead. Sub-Zero defeated her, however, and banished her. For years, she sought the power to destroy him. Her chance at domination arrived when Kronika enlisted her in order to help her reset the timeline, promising Frost that she would lead the Lin Kuei, not Sub Zero. Frost was heavily cyberized by Kronika, helping Sektor and Cyrax restart the Cyber Initiative in accordance with Kronika’s plan. She was used by Raiden to interface with the other cyborgs, shutting them down and removing the threat they posed to his resistance against Kronika. Most of her personal flaws appear to stem from jealousy and feelings of inadequacy. Although she was ostensibly on the side of good at the time of her introduction, Frost's desire for recognition causes her to betray Sub-Zero (in both timelines) and join the side of darkness. Her design has remained fairly consistent since her debut, featuring variations of the Lin Kuei’s traditional garb, short hair, typically spiky and slicked back with the use of her powers, and blue eyes. An exception to this is her Cyborg/upgraded form in MK11.

Prompt

While certainly not on par with that of Sub-Zero, Frost's cryokinetic powers are extremely potent. Rather than relying on freezing the opponent directly, she freezes a large area of the ground in front of her, thereby increasing her range and improving her odds of connecting with an enemy. She can also slide into the opponent and knock them down, as well as execute an uppercut by teleporting away from the opponent and reappearing behind them. Finally, her freezing powers allow her to create two small daggers made of pure, concentrated ice that she uses in battle. Overall, while Frost may not be as powerful as her mentor, she makes up for it with her superior speed and strategic potential. After becoming a cyborg in Mortal Kombat 11, Frost receives various cybernetic augmentations and abilities such as internalized freezing weapons similar to her former master's cyber form, as well as the ability to launch her head like a rocket and even detonate it like a bomb, only for her to simply replace it with a new one. Signature Moves: Ground Freeze: Frost shoots the ground with her ice blast, freezing anyone who is standing in that area. Just like with Sub-Zero's own Ice Blast, using Ground Freeze against an already frozen opponent will send the technique back to Frost and freeze her in place, setting her for free hit. (MK:DA, MK:U, MK:A) Frosty Slide: Frost slides across the floor and trips the opponent if she comes in contact. (MK:DA, MK:U, MK:A) Teleporting Uppercut: Frost disappears over one side of the screen and comes back from the other, uppercutting the opponent. This moves seems to be, ironically enough, adapted from Scorpion's Teleport Punch with a new twist. (MK:A) Ice Puddle: Frost shoots the ground with her ice blast, creating a puddle that the opponent will begin to slip around on if nearby. (MK:A) Core Discharge: Frost fires her core out of her chest at the opponent.
