Frost

Frost is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series.

About Frost
Frost made her first appearance in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance as an apprentice to Sub-Zero, taking the character archetype of the overly ambitious fledgling. Her dedication to fighting and learning is overshadowed by her arrogance and hostility towards anyone she perceives to be greater than her, including her own sifu, as well as Sonya.

Storyline
After Sub-Zero became Grand Master of the Lin Kuei clan, he held a tournament in order to recruit strong warriors. The victor was Frost, whose exceptional skills impressed him. Breaking Lin Kuei tradition, Sub-Zero took her as his protegé and trained her personally. With his assistance, her ability to focus her freezing power increased. However, as her skills grew, so did her arrogance. Sub-Zero was unable to teach her humility.

When Raiden requested Sub-Zero's assistance in defeating the Deadly Alliance, Frost's training was cut short. Sub-Zero brought her along with him for assistance, hoping at the same time she would attain perspective and enlightenment through the experience of actual battle. After meeting with the other Earthrealm warriors (one of which was Sonya, who did not get along with Frost), she accompanied Sub-Zero into Outworld.

Once there, her true intentions for joining the Lin Kuei became apparent. Desiring to become Grand Master of the clan herself, she immobilized Sub-Zero with a freezing blast, and tore the Dragon Medallion (an arifact which enhanced Sub-Zero's abilities, as well as the symbol of Lin Kuei leadership) from his chest. Without the strength and discipline required to control the medallion's power, she was consumed by her own freezing ability, seemingly killing her. Seemingly forgiving her for her betrayal, Sub-Zero searched for a suitable place to bury her remains. He discovered the ancient ruins of a holy structure erected by the long-lost race of Cryomancers. After careful study of the building, Sub-Zero came to believe that both he and Frost were their descendants, and laid her body to rest in a sarcophagus before leaving.

At the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E³, Frost's in-game biography for the upcoming Sony PSP port of Deception entitled Mortal Kombat: Unchained, was revealed. Some time after Sub-Zero's departure, Frost awoke, miraculously alive after all. Realizing she was still in Outworld, and that Sub-Zero had left her for dead, reclaiming his medallion in the process, she swore to make him pay.

Possible future
Frost is confirmed to appear in the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, where her further aims will be revealed.

Trivia

 * As stated above, Frost does not get along with Sonya. It is mentioned in Deadly Alliance's Konquest mode that Sonya was attacked by Frost previous to the meeting with Raiden.
 * Like Sub-Zero, Frost can form solid, weapons by freezing surrounding water vapor. She can only create small daggers, whereas Sub-Zero is capable of creating a sword.
 * Frost refers to Sub-Zero as sifu, a Cantonese term for a master or teacher.
 * Along with Kenshi, Quan Chi, and Kitana, she is one of the only characters in Deadly Alliance to be seen performing a kata. She uses an especially energetic style for this, with several impressive jumps and kicks.
 * In Deception's Konquest mode, the people of the Chaosrealm talk in backwards words. One of the phrases they say is along the lines of "Could Frost merely be hibernating?",  hinting at a future return (she was deceased at the time of Deception, and will indeed return in Armageddon.)
 * Even though she is supposed to be dead at the time of Deception, she appears in Outworld asking Shujinko to locate the Ice Caves for her in Konquest mode.
