The Frozen Half is an enemy in the Castlevania series. She is a new-half ice spirit. Servant of Galamoth.
__TOC__
==Appearances==
===Kid Dracula===
First appearance of the Frozen Half in the series. She appears in the ice stage of Boku Dracula-kun, running toward Kid Dracula and then slipping into him, in a move that predates Maria's belly slide.
===Castlevania: Symphony of the Night===
The Frozen Half is a palette swap of the Salem Witch with minor design changes, but the Frozen Half's attack patterns are more in tone with those of the Frozen Shade. Two Frozen Halves can be found in the Floating Catacombs.
When a Frozen Half is encountered, it is advised to deal with her as soon as possible, as she can throw large chunks of ice at the player, or in the worst case scenario, summon a freezing blizzard which covers almost the entire room (even if it is many times larger than a single screen size), constantly knocking Alucard back, while he receives cumulative heavy damage, and at the same time, preventing him from setting a foothold to counterattack.
Her voice differs from that of the Salem Witch, which could be due to the Frozen Half being a transgender woman.

==Trivia==
*The Frozen Half is one of the few enemies to serve someone other than Dracula; in this case Galamoth.
*Her Symphony of the Night description, citing her as servant of Galamoth, is a nod to her original appearance in Kid Dracula, where he was the main antagonist.
**Further supporting this reference, she only appears in the Floating Catacombs, where Galamoth is the area boss.
*In the original release of Symphony of the Night, she is referred to as a "new-half ice spirit" in the enemy list's description, while in The Dracula X Chronicles version of the game, she is referred to as a "transvestite ice spirit".
*The word of Japanese origin is used to describe someone who is genetically XY and has gone through hormone therapy and surgery to reconcile their body presentation with their internal gender.
*This enemy is probably inspired by the yuki-onna, a snow woman ghost from classic Japanese folklore who preys on travelers that get lost in the snowy mountains. The redesigned Frozen Half from Symphony of the Night also has the characteristic long hair, similar costume, and hovering trait of this legendary yōkai.
**Further supporting this possible reference, on her debut appearance in Kid Dracula, she is similarly named Yuki Okama (ゆきおかま), which translates to "Snow Shemale", which could be a pun.
