Neera Li (ニーラ・リー, Nīra Rī?), also known as Neera the Frost Knight, is a major character of the Freedom Planet series.

She was the Royal Magister's advisor, and is the chief of the Shang Tu Police Department, a major character and mini-boss in Freedom Planet and one of the playable characters in Freedom Planet 2.

Prior to the events of Freedom Planet, Neera enforces law and order in the kingdom of Shang Tu, showing fierce loyalty to the Royal Magister. However, she has a habit of always jumping to conclusions about people who have a criminal past, such as Lilac and Carol, due to their past association with Red Scarves.

Three years later, her views have changed a little, but already treats everything with understanding to others. She started working together with Team Lilac against the threat of Merga. At the end, she was appointed as the temporary regent of Shang Tu after the Magister stepped down because of him revealing his ancestors' enslavement and genocide of the water dragons, and is currently searching for a suitable successor to take his place.

Appearance: Neera is a female panda with black hair styled into a bob cut and dark purple eyes.

In Freedom Planet, Neera's fur is a peach tone she wears purple and black robes with a white godet, purple fingerless gloves and black knee-high boots.

In Freedom Planet 2, Neera's fur is altered to a natural white. Her purple robes now have black and white straps, and she also wears a black Obi sash with a brocade knot in the shape of a six-sided flower tied around it. She also wears purple and white cuffs and a black skirt underneath her robe. Her boots now have small purple accents above the knee and at the toe. In both games, she also wears silver shoulder pads, with purple accents being incorporated on her second design.

Personality: Neera is a strict law enforcer who enforces the Magister's will throughout Shang Tu, accompanying General Gong a majority of the time. She is very proactive in her work, growing skeptical about Lilac & Carol when they knew more about Mayor Zao's plot to steal the Kingdom Stone, and going as far as doing a background check on them. However, she is not a machine obsessed with duty, as she recognizes Milla as a child who was only guilty for being a criminal accomplice. Neera also has a sense of honor, declaring it dishonorable to harm (or even kill) a child. During the events of Freedom Planet 2, she's shown to have a more vulnerable side to her, which was visible when Shang Tu fell, and her closet allies betrayed her and the others for Merga, which leads her to have temporary trust issues that can lead to emotional outbursts if she's pushed to the limit, as shown when Carol deserted them.

Powers and Abilities: Neera is a very powerful martial artist with good skills weapon and energy manipulation. While being slower than the other members of Team Lilac, she certainly is athletic and durable, even being a nearly unstoppable force in combat.

Neera has a variety of Elemental Weapons to use, but her Weapon of Choice is a Cryo Staff, which she uses to utilize her Frost Arts by manipulating the crystal energy stored in (or charged into) the Staff to create ice. Neera's fighting style when fighting with the Cryo Staff resembles Naginatajutsu. She is also capable of summoning an Elemental Shield for extra protection.

• Frost Arts: With her Frost Arts, Neera can fight and capture her opponents easily and non-lethally with ice, even though ice has the potential to be deadly. She can also use Frost Arts as a means of transportation by creating a floor of ice for her to skate on.
