Description: FrostNova, born Yelena, is one of the well-known Reunion leaders. She leads the powerful Yeti Squadron and possesses frigid ice Originium Arts that allow her to control her surrounding temperature and freeze her targets. FrostNova is often referred to as the "Yeti Princess" and the "Wintry Death" due to her lethal abilities. However, her powers come at a heavy cost. She is afflicted with extreme hypothermia, and anyone who touches her skin can suffer from frostbite. She needs to consume chili candies and strong alcohol to maintain her body temperature. The excessive use of her Arts further worsens her Oripathy. To protect her Yetis and prevent disaster, she restrains herself from unleashing her full potential, which could result in her own demise.

History: Yelena, also known as FrostNova, is one of the well-known Reunion leaders. She was born in a poor family sentenced to work in a labor camp in the Northern Tundra. Her parents and grandmother were killed due to their opposition to the Ursus Empire's militaristic policies. At the camp, FrostNova's Arts went rogue for the first time, killing her executioners. She was rescued by Buldrokkas'tee "Patriot" and his Shieldguard guerrillas and raised as his adopted daughter. FrostNova and her Yeti Squadron worked to liberate the oppressed Infected from their imperial overlords. They gained reputations as guardians of the Tundra and eventually allied with Talulah's proto-Reunion Movement. However, FrostNova noticed Talulah's descent into violence and cruelty, prompting her to try and recall Talulah's conscience. She became a beacon for Reunion's conscience throughout the Chernobog-Lungmen crisis. During the events at Chernobog, FrostNova encountered Rhodes Island for the first time. She fought against Amiya but eventually formed a tenuous friendship with her. FrostNova fell into an underground structure with the Doctor and, after being rescued, parted ways with Rhodes Island. In the devastating retreat from Lungmen, FrostNova and the Yeti Squadron suffered severe casualties. FrostNova fell unconscious due to her worsening Oripathy. The Yeti Squadron hid her beneath Lungmen's underground structure and held a farewell drink before their annihilation in the slums. Upon her recovery, FrostNova confronted Rhodes Island once again. She unleashed her full potential, no longer fearing hurting her comrades. She declared a duel between herself and Rhodes Island, but eventually succumbed to her Oripathy. In her final moments, she accepted her fate and joined Rhodes Island, believing they would stop Talulah's crisis. She passed away peacefully in the Doctor's arms.

Trivia: She channels her Arts through folksongs and her Caster wand. Her ultimate goal is to stop Talulah and prevent Reunion from falling into darkness.
