Ice Queen

**Ice Queen** formerly known as **Patience St. Pim** was the former Ice Elemental and a apparent colleague to Simon Petrikov, as well as friend to him and his wife Betty, from the institute of studying mystical artifacts who arrived in the aftermath of the Golden Castle conflict to collect the Ice Crown from Simon. But in reality she only took on that role to help her search for the Ice Crown, intending to use it to take back what she sees as rightfully hers the power of the Ice Elemental until she was defeated by the very power she sought to gain

## Appearance

Patience was roughly Princess Bubblegum's height, but her body is curvier. Her hair was a dark navy, that's pulled back into a double bun. She had light blue lips and wears circular sunglasses. Her skin tone was the same grayish-blue as the Ice King's. She wears a dark pink-red button-up shirt, white pants, and black boots. After her Mega-Spell, she has grown to size, and still retains her skin tone and glasses. However, her lips turned a pure cyan and her hair turned pure white. The lenses have also turned bluer. She worea medium-blue off-the-shoulder gown with multiple layers to it. The straps of which have a misty blue, flame-like animation, while the rest of the gown is all glittery due to her elemental nature.

In the timeline she was completely human with normal skin and dark hair while retaining her original appearance. After her transformation her hair grew long and turned white, her skin regained its original blue colour and she gained a blue royal gown with a tiara replacing the Crown.

## Personality

When she emerged from her ice orb, Patience acted really energetic and jovial, making small talk with people she met and using spontaneous gestures and movements. She also has a habit of making ice puns. It was soon shown, however, that she had a very manipulative side trying to force the other incarnations of the elementals to join her, and lying to the Ice King about kidnapping Betty.

After achieving pure elemental status, either due to the effects of magic or shame that her spell failed, she went into a deep depression that supposedly affected every member of her Ice Dominion. Much like in her previous life as Urgence Evergreen, Patience showed a strong desire to survive at any cost, regardless of the fact that as an elemental, she would be reincarnated if she died.

Patience had displayed a strong ego and slightly crazed personality, not only believing herself the only one worthy of the power of the Ice Elemental, but that she is the power. Becoming completely obsessed with regaining the power Patience is single minded in her goal. She was able to hide her obsession, acting as a normal person and scholar but discarded her carefully crafted identity when she gained the crown. Even gaining powers like the Ice Elemental is not enough as she shattered her mirror in a fit of rage over simply gaining powers exactly like the Ice Elemental instead of the actual powers. She believed she is the only true Ice Elemental and any argument made against her claim caused her to break down in childish anger, immaturely denying any points made and believed that the power is for her to do whatever she wants.

She retained her cowardly streak from before, opting to run and hide from people she knows can hurt her as shown when she fled from Valhallen after literally being thrown out of the Phil Ken Sebben's office. Upon seemingly regaining the Ice Elemental’s powers, Patience showed no inclination to heed Evergreen’s wish to finish what he started and use the crown to reverse the creation of the Fallen, believing that as the Ice Elemental she could do whatever she wanted with the world, showing a very immature and childish view that was likely brought on by her original indifference in the previous timeline and the rejection of Ice’s power in the new one. Upon meeting the new Candy Elemental, Abigail Lincoln Patience offered to help find the other Elementals so they could play together only for Abby to angrily rebuke and as more opponents show up to face her Patience’s remaining sanity slips away into madness for everyone rejecting her as the Ice Elemental and she sought to cover the world in permanent winter. Upon seeing Nigel awaken as a true Ice Elemental Patience mentally broke down, claiming she will rip all the power out of the boy no matter how long it takes and freeze everyone for refusing to play with her.

At the end of the battle, Patience St. Pin could not understand why she lost and as the curse of Eternal Winter was broken she stated with heart broken sadness she didn’t have the power anymore before fading away.

## Biography

### Previous Timeline

In the former she was discovered by the Ice King, Finn, and Jake and attempted to reunite the reincarnations of the other elementals, but they escaped. Patience St. Pim is understood to have lived thousands of years ago before the Great Mushroom War. She was the reincarnation of the ice elemental who, along with the other current elementals, had visions of the Lich's arrival. These visions came with the understanding that the world was going to go through an epic cataclysm that the elementals knew they probably wouldn't survive.

Patience, wanting to live through the cataclysm, sailed into the ocean and covered herself in an ice sphere where she would stay dormant for a number of years until she would later be discovered by Ice King, Finn, and Jake. After being released from her ice sphere, Patience froze Finn and Jake and made Ice King fetch her and the other elementals, (them being Princess Bubblegum, Slime Princess, and Flame Princess), so Ice King does as she said and kidnapped them and brought them to her. Finally reunited with the other elementals, Patience showed them their potential as elementals and attempted to make them unite, but the three Princesses showed no interest in her or her powers. The Princesses then used their newly discovered powers to make her lose her balance and she crashes into her boat.

While she was on the ground, the Princesses free Finn and Jake and escape; Slime Princess also shot slime at Patience, sticking her to the wall. With Finn, Jake, and the Princesses gone, Patience made Ice King scrape all the slime off her and she told him that she will make people know of her presence in Ooo. Patience sends Princess Bubblegum a piece of paper on which the shape of a circle with a cross in it is drawn, allowing her to tap into her innate elemental abilities. After using her abilities to fight an ice orb created by Patience, Patience is seen viewing a vision board encompassing several of her targets throughout Ooo, including the princesses she had previously captured.

During the time Finn, BMO, and Jake were away searching for the human islands, Patience was able to finalize her plans to awaken the elemental's true selves, using Betty as a magical battery. Her Mega-spell, however, caused their elemental power to overload their personalities, as well as change the physical make-up of Ooo and almost all of its inhabitants sans Sweet P and Lumpy Space Princess (due to being an anti-elemental). This causes her to go into a deep depression, feeling an absolute malaise about fixing or doing anything, especially since none of the other elementals came to her party full of shrimp plates.

After Princess Bubblegum (as the elemental) began over-powering Ooo turning everything into candy (including Flame Princess, an elemental of equal power), Patience decided to freeze herself in an ice time capsule yet again, not wanting to see how it turned out or face the consequences. When the timeline was altered as a result of Aku's tampering in the past to save himself, an entirely new timeline was formed and Patience would be reborn in this new timeline. However this time the powers of the Ice Elemental rejected her, deciding to alter their nature to ensure what happened with her and Evergreen would not be repeated. Patience retained her memories of the timeline but suffered a complete breakdown for losing her ice powers.

### GrimmFall Timeline

In this new timeline, Patience worked as an archaeologist, working close to Simon Petrikov, knowing he would be her best hope to regaining her powers. Eventually her chance came in the form of Evergreen's crown which she stole and then traveled all the way to the North Pole before using the Crown to make her wish. While she did gain powers much like the Ice Elemental's it wasn't the true Elemental which made her furious. She wanted to be the one and only Ice Elemental and thus decided the only way was to take the powers of the current Ice Elemental back for herself.

She has begun kidnapping people who have a similar but weaker ice elemental ability such as the Legendary Warrior of Ice Kumamon and attempted to kidnap Frosta for being descendant from a clan of ice users but that was likely more of a bonus since the Ice Queen was more interested in Kuki and Mushi for mocking her. She had also used the crown to resurrect the deceased Dr. Gelee as a walking and breathing snowman to be part of her army to take over the world.

### Rise to Power

She later confronted Phil Ken Sebben to intimidate him into giving up the current Ice Elemental but Sebben rebuked her, claiming her selfishness caused the power to reject her. Patience childishly denied this claim and engaged Sebben in battle but his skills was more than enough to stand against her and the appearance of Valhallen caused her to retreat. She sent her ice minions after Nigel Uno and eventually they captured him and brought him to her where she would call him a fake and a thief for being chosen and not her. Using the Golden Crown Patience sought to drain Nigel of his ice powers and become the true Ice Elemental again.

### Defeat

While she was successful the part of the Ice Elemental that was once Urgence Evergreen Patience did not realize that the Ice Elemental’s powers, made up of all the previous incarnations after Evergreen had chosen to stay with Nigel. While glad to seemingly be whole again, Patience had to put up with Evergreen urging her to use the Crown’s power to finish his work in destroying the Fallen only for Patience to refuse, having absolutely no care for the Grimm and Fallen, believing she was powerful enough to handle all of them despite the fact that Sammael had already killed many Elemental incarnations who challenged him over the centuries. She then turned him into a frozen statue and waited for his friends, including the Candy Elemental to arrive. Upon their arrival Patience offered Abby a chance to join her and seek out the other Elementals so they could play together only for Abby harshly reject her and denounce her as the true fake and thief. When Kuki and Mushi broke free of her control Patience immediately engaged Dani Phantom and Juniper Lee in battle.

Things heated up for her as the EXOs Cayde and Banshee arrived, putting a bullet in her head that should have killed her. However Patience had wished to rule an eternal winter with the crown and as long as the winter existed she could not be killed. She fought back, even Perfuma arrived as the new Avatar of the Green. To Patience’s shock, Nigel Uno broke free of his icy prison and became a fully realized Ice Elemental, having merged with all memories and powers of his past selves with the exception of Evergreen who chose to become part of her.

Nigel explained that she only took back Evergreen and that the rest chose to stay because neither she, Evergreen nor even the Crown could decide who the powers chose. Patience would sink further into madness, declaring she would rip them all out of him no matter how long it took. Juniper returned, having used the Golden Crown to wish herself as a Sorceress Supreme and they all engaged her in one final battle. Stitch took on Kumamon while the others faced her and her army of snowmen led by Snowman. Despite her efforts, Nigel and Abby as true Elementals matched her powers and with the aide of the others they overpowered her.

Their combined powers eventually broke the curse of eternal winter much to Patience’s horror and she was left to ponder why she was losing, still believing herself the one and only Ice Elemental. As the battle ended she watched in saddened dismay as Nigel, the boy she had called a fake only to become the very being she sought to be, declared her curse was broken and Abby ordered her to leave. Patience could only say they were right and that by breaking her curse she had lost all of her powers to the very power she sought to take back for herself. As soon as she admitted that she faded away, literally melting before them and took Evergreen with her, cutting him off from the cycle of reincarnation forever.

### Aftermath

Aldamon would appear some time after the Ice Queen was defeated and met with Nigel and the others once he found his friend Kumamon, unconscious but free from Patience’s curse. They would explain what happened to him and that he would be all right now that the Ice Queen was defeated.

## Powers and Abilities

As the former Ice Elemental and having gained similar powers through the Crown, Patience can create ice from her hands. She is able to create and control ice objects with ease, as shown when she made an ice chair and was able to make it spin around with just hand gesture. Patience is also capable of dispelling ice made by other wizards by shooting it with her own magic, as she did with Ice King's ice.

Ice King stated that her ice was stronger than his own. Her ice's surface was also smoother than Ice King's own. This is likely due to the fact that, as an elemental, she is literally the physical representation of ice and not just a user of its power. Since regaining her powers through the Crown the Ice Queen has started to freeze the entire world but her fighting skills come up short against the likes of Phil Ken Sebben and Valhallen.
