A beautiful woman with long silver hair. Her appearance can only be described as exquisite and flawless, and she faintly carries a certain noble and detached temperament.

## Personality

She learned to sift away from fear and see ways from a neutral perspective. She is cool-headed and rational.

## History

She was born with psychic powers, which made her hear things others could not and made her a danger to her parents. Her parents quickly realized the strange happenings in their house was connected to their little girl. With heavy hearts, they handed her over to the church. Like other natural-born psychics, she was placed under the guidance of ‘experts’ in handling such abilities.

Her childhood, stretching until she was twelve, was confined within the gloomy bowels of the cathedral’s cellar. Mute priests in long robes and stern ascetics clad in thick armor were her sole companions, her wrists and neck adorned with purpose-built chains and collars rather than the jewelry of childhood. Her nights were spent in an iron cage, blessed and imbued with protective charms. A designated guardian checked in on her thrice a week, ensuring that amidst the whirlwind of psychic forces, her psyche remained anchored to her human essence. It wasn’t until her twelfth year, having demonstrated the growth of a resilient spirit and unwavering will, that the archbishop felt assured of her firm connection to humanity. Following this, he invoked a sacred blessing upon her, baptized her in holy waters, and in front of the congregation, certified Ray Nora's human nature.

After this rite of passage, she was rigorously trained, teaching her to harness and control the tumultuous energy of her abilities, guiding her to harmoniously coexist with the haunting ‘visions’ that she continually experienced. Over the next four years, she slowly pieced together the realization that what she perceived as ‘dreams’ were her soul’s harmonies with the universe. The ethereal voices and visions that haunted her sleep were the desperate calls of beings from beyond her world, trying to breach the veil separating our realities. As her tutors grew confident in her mental fortitude, they introduced her to specialized practices that allowed her to attune to these distant cries without compromising her mind.

Throughout this journey of self-discovery, she felt an irresistible pull towards the deep sea, marking the moment their paths intertwined. In fact, it wasn’t just her sensing its presence. It sensed hers too. Different psychics harbor distinct resonances. Some are gifted with the ability to hear the silent whispers of bygone eras, making them unparalleled historians or esoteric researchers. A few can hear the divine calls of the deities, and if they survive into adulthood, their fate is often sealed as ‘chosen ones’ or ‘saints’. Tragically, there are those whose souls echo with subspace. Most of them never make it out of the cathedral’s underground chambers. The handful who do, metamorphose into the church’s guarded treasures—known as the ‘Keepers of Forbidden Knowledge’ or ‘Silent Saints’.

Her destiny was intertwined with a restless, primeval deity from the ocean’s abyss. Interpreting ‘its’ communications was an arduous task. At first, she attributed her inability to her novice psychic skills and nascent strength. However, as time elapsed, she discerned that the anomaly resided within the ‘ancient god’ itself. It was an imperfect echo, an imitation born out of a far grander entity’s misinterpretation, the King of Darkness, now known as the Nether Lord. Roused inadvertently in the sea’s dark trenches, its fragmented consciousness consistently echoed a singular plea — malfunction detected, shutdown essential. This cry reverberated incessantly within her consciousness.

But before she could explore the deep sea, she needed to become the Frost Queen. It was a journey fraught with challenges, but it was imperative. Only by holding dominion over the entire city-state could she delve deeply and verify the whispers and visions she encountered. As she went through this, she unearthed an aberration deep within our metal ore mines. The Abyss Project was conceived as a culmination of this discovery. She had since made innumerable arrangements to navigate them to the impending climax. During her exploration, she discovered the truth.

The world was deliberately crafted by ancient gods in accordance with an intricate master plan. And the very essence of these gods serves as the foundational building blocks of all that exists. The Nether Lord had the unique power to duplicate and create, evolving everything from its foundational essence. However, it appears that over countless millennia, either the original design began to degrade or there was some malfunction in the core ‘Creator’ mechanism. This triggered a cycle of creating ‘flawed replicas.’ Frost was just the tip of the iceberg; he won’t be the last anomaly one would see.

Later, when she meets Duncan and the two talk, she suggested that Anomaly 099, Alice Guillotine, isn't a copy, at least not a perfect copy. Instead, the guillotine that executed her was called the "Alice Guillotine."

## Abilities

According to herself, she was a natural born psychic, hearing things others could not. Her screams could conjure malevolent shadows. As a result of this, her parents gave her away. Furthermore, she was rigorous trained to control this power and in many other fields. She was an exceptional woman.
