**Chen Liu** (チェン・リウ, *****Chen Liu*****?), also known as **Chen-Chen** (チェンチェン, *Chenchen*?) by his two childhood friends, and **Frozen Hero: Iceborn Lord** (フローズンヒーロー：アイスボーンロード, *****Frozen Hero: Iceborn Lord*****?), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

A former vigilante that turned away from his former life in the underground market's scientific division, he was adopted into a loving family but didn't reciprocate either their love for him or their attempts to become good parents to him, seeing them as mere fakers who wanted to destroy his memories of his real parents. After many unsuccessful attempts to return to his former vigilante life, he was given up for adoption and was rescued by his current adoptive parents.

He is one of three main protagonists of *Thundering of the Mighty*.

## Appearance

Of Han Chinese descent due to being a scion of a noble family, he carries higher cheekbones than his European counterparts and is noted to bear a similar appearance to many of his Japanese classmates. Chen is tall, slender, and petite as befitting of his vigilante activities and carries a prominent "sterness" and "certainess" as part of his overall appearance and demeanor. Being the youngest of the three protagonists while still being a vigilante, he is noted to carry himself with a "frosty" demeanor most akin to the likes of Endeavor or the Pro Hero Estelle Cruz. Most unusually his eye color is that of an ice blue, with the most common eye color amongst Asians behind brown.

## Personality

"*Trauma breaks you in a way that you never knew it could... it's like breaking a person's will to live, the things that used to bring them joy only bring them flashbacks to the moment when the trauma began... only breaking them further..*"
—
Far more competent than any young teenager should be, Chen Liu bears the "shackles" of a life that has left him with mental scarring that is not so easily healed and trauma not so easily fixed. Most unusually, he is noticably more aloof and uncaring towards people outside of his family. His cynical and stoic demeanor hides all of the pain and hurt of his childhood years, to the point where it is impossible to distinguish it from his ordinary behavior. Nevertheless, his demeanor is sufficent enough to scare most ordinary people away.

## Equipment

* **Icicle's Fury**: This high-end, sophisticated tactical crossbow is made for non-lethal forms of combat. It is outfitted with stun darts, paralyzing agent darts, and low-grade poison darts. When not in use, the crossbow is usually found hanging from his waist as a small metal tassel.
* **Blizzard's Sting**: A titanium-steel sword, that is a specially made optomized katana with a icy blue saya and handle. Dangling from the saya's handle is a sword tassel dyed a glacier-silver and white.
