List of Freezing characters


The manga and anime series Freezing features a cast of characters designed by Dall-Young Lim and illustrated by Kwang-Hyun Kim. The series is set in the year 2065 where Earth is in the middle of a war with extra-dimensional aliens called [|Nova]. In order to fight the Nova, the military develops Pandoras: girls who are able to adapt special genetic tissue called stigmata to manifest superhuman fighting skills and weapons. Supporting the Pandoras are male partners called Limiters, who use special "freezing" powers to restrict their opponent's mobility. The main story focuses on Kazuya Aoi, a Limiter whose late sister was a Pandora, and [|Satellizer el Bridget], a powerful Pandora with a cold personality who is known as the Untouchable Queen. Both are enrolled at West Genetics Academy, where they encounter various Pandoras who view Satellizer as a rival and troublemaker, and who pride themselves by a strict ranking system within their school years. They are joined by Rana Linchen, a transfer student Pandora from Tibet who wants to make Kazuya her soulmate. They meet students from other schools, girls who aspire to acquire Pandora powers, and have to deal with Nova threats. Lim has written several spin-off stories that focus on the supporting characters, and the anime adaptation has also highlighted some of his other characters. Reception of the characters from the manga and anime reviewers has been mixed.

Chevalier

Chevalier is an organization dedicated to fighting the Novas, developing the Pandoras, stigmata, and limiter classes, and founding the Genetics academies. Its members include their schools' fourth-year students.

Staff

Evolution Pandoras

The Evolution Pandora project's goal is to make Pandoras out of ordinary girls who do not naturally exhibit compatibility with stigmata. Their story is covered in volumes 9-14 in the manga series and the Freezing Vibration anime.

Valkyries

The Valkyries are a second generation of ordinary girls who are able to become Pandoras, but instead of taking on stigmata with a Mark IV drug, they use Injection Stigmata, which gives them the abilities of the original Pandoras but without the corrosive side effects that the E-Pandoras experienced. They are given Plasma Weapons which are their equivalent to Volt Weapons.

Other Pandoras

Legendary Pandoras

The first Pandoras who were created from the DNA of [|Gengo Aoi] and [|Maria Lancelot]. They are known as the Sisters of Lab 13. Their bodies are composed mostly of stigmata tissue. In addition to [|Chiffon Fairchild] and [|Lucy Renault], there are three Legendary Pandoras who were placed in suspended animation until the twelfth Nova Clash when they were released to defeat the Novas.

Busters

A group of highly skilled Pandoras that were relieved from duty because of their criminal acts; they are gathered by the Chevalier leader in an attempt to assassinate Gengo Aoi after the latter's betrayal. Equipped with the unstable and experimental Plasma Stigmata, their abilities are considered to be comparable with Chiffon Fairchild's, and they are enabled with a powerful "Anti-Freezing" ability comparable to Kazuha Aoi's. The Busters are recruited by an ex-Chevalier leader, Raddox Phantomime. However, their mission turns to the worse when they face the Legendary Pandoras, who transform themselves into Novas thanks to an unexpected reaction to their Anti-Freezing, becoming a threat to friends and foes alike.
