Background / History

FrostNova is Patriot's daughter and an Infected leader with a history of resistance against Ursus. An Emperor's Inner Guard identifies her as a fugitive from an Originium mine who participated in more than ten armed uprisings before her role in Reunion. 4 41

A mine operation became her first major failure as a resistance fighter: the Infected prisoners could not be saved, five Abyssal Hunters were killed, and FrostNova herself was nearly killed. When she was later trapped in a Baikal-controlled mine and pursued by Inner Guards, Orson broke through to reach her despite being badly wounded. 15 41

At the beginning of Orson's time with the guerrilla force, FrostNova regarded him as an unstable threat and openly recommended eliminating him. She continued to monitor him after Talula spared him, warning that she would not hesitate to act if he proved dangerous. 2

Appearance

FrostNova is a white rabbit woman with distinctive long ears and fair cheeks. Her clothing was faded when Orson first encountered her, and she typically carries a caster's staff. 2 7 50

• White rabbit ears that visibly react to embarrassment, surprise, and anger. 7 15
• Usually associated with frost, cold winds, and visible ice crystals when preparing Arts. 41 50
• Develops large black crystallized Originium markings across her body when forcing her Arts to maximum output. 41
• Uses a caster's staff and Originium crystal equipment. 15 29 50

Personality

FrostNova is initially cold, pragmatic, and highly suspicious of unknown risks. She judges Orson primarily by the danger he may pose to the settlement and repeatedly insists that Reunion cannot afford to misread his intentions. 2

Despite this severity, she is deeply protective of the Infected, her Abyssal Hunters, and vulnerable members of Reunion. She argues against taking the non-combatant@@REF_ENTITY_3597671@@ on a dangerous infiltration mission and takes responsibility for the safety of the forces under her command. 16 41

She can also be easily flustered by personal attention. Gifts of carrots embarrass her, and she reacts with visible resentment when Talula and@@REF_ENTITY_3597671@@ leave for Kazimierz City without her. 7 14 29 Her bond with Orson develops from hostility into trust, though she remains quick to threaten or scold him when he provokes her. 2 15 42

Abilities & Skills

Cryogenic Originium Arts

FrostNova controls frost, ice, and cold air over a wide battlefield area.

• Freezes advancing assault troops and slows enemy Arts casters with cold air currents. 41
• Forms frozen barriers; her ice shield can absorb part of an enemy charge before shattering. 50
• Can use ice with precision in emergency treatment, freezing Orson's blood vessels to slow fatal bleeding. 42
• At peak output, crystallized Originium markings appear across her body; this state greatly strengthens her frost but consumes stamina and life force. 41

Field Command

As captain of the Abyssal Hunters and a Reunion leader, FrostNova directs combat personnel and logistics.

• Leads supply and trade expeditions with the Abyssal Hunters. 7
• Organizes tactical combat training alongside Patriot and Orson as the Guerrilla Force gains recruits. 15
• Commands a major portion of Reunion's forces during the operation against Ursus' Army Group. 36 41
• Challenges Talula's altered plan when it changes from delaying the Army Group to raiding Viscount Kerk's command post. 41

Lip Reading

After Orson loses his voice protecting her, FrostNova learns to read his lips and becomes able to relay his silent battlefield orders.

• Announces the start of the Rabbit Plan after reading Orson's unvoiced command. 42
• Allows Orson to continue directing troops despite his damaged vocal cords. 42

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Caster's staff — Used to channel her frost Arts. 29 50
• Originium crystal equipment — Equipment she repairs following missions. 15
• Communications equipment — Uses Reunion's intercom and walkie-talkie network for operational coordination. 20 41

Relationships

• Patriot — Her father and a fellow commander. FrostNova seeks his judgment before major operations and worries about what her death would mean for him. 4 36 41
• Talula — Fellow Reunion leader and close comrade. FrostNova offers strategic advice, questions Talula's riskier orders, and works with her to protect Reunion's members. 10 20 41
• Orson — Initially considers him an unstable outsider who should be eliminated. After he risks his life to save her from Inner Guards, she learns to understand his silence through lip reading. 2 41 42
• Alina — A valued non-combatant whom FrostNova argues should remain behind rather than join a high-risk infiltration mission. 16
• Abyssal Hunters — FrostNova's unit and closest subordinates. Their losses in mine operations weigh heavily on her decisions. 7 15 41
• Andrei Rostov — Her father within the Rostov family identity; he immediately checks on her safety after Duke Baikal's visit. 21

Chernobog and the Rostov Family

When Orson reports that he is living with the Rostov family's daughter, FrostNova and Talula prepare to secretly travel to Kazimierz City to investigate before@@REF_ENTITY_3597671@@ stops them. 20 FrostNova later appears at the Rostov villa as Natalia and intervenes when Duke Baikal's guards attempt to test Orson for Originium infection. 21
