Frona The Toa of Black Ice

Frona photo poster
These pictures of my MOC, Frona, date back to around 2010/11. 

Frona was created as a character in 2009, but became more complex, like many of my characters, through time. 

The outfit she's wearing in these pictures was made in 2010. The material was given to me by a friend who was passionate in watching me dress my figurines with just a few fabric scraps and creative wrapping techniques. I had an old piece of icy material that Frona wore as an underskirt, then I was handed silky black and blue fabric scraps which then became an over skirt and Asian style wrap top.

Later I added jewelry embellishments to make her look fancy. I figure she wears these clothes when attending special events and such. Someday I may even use these pictures in a comic of some kind (my way of creating back story for anonymous imagery). 
 Jewelry elements used: the shoulder decor is a necklace that I wrapped around her waste, and the skirt weight and arm decor are clip on earrings.


History on Frona


Frona was invented during 2009 as a character I used in role play with an old friend who's code name is VulpesToa.

She was the first female Bionicle character I invented, and from that point onward I continued making girl characters for fun.

Frona developed over time; she started as a normal female ice Toa. But then I invented an ability called black ice. Black ice is the coldest ice there is, and Frona had little control over this power when she was depressed or angry. Black ice became known as a Makuta ability, and those who had it in their system, were prone to being evil.

Concept of black ice: The concept idea of black ice is that it's kind of like a virus or infection that occurs in certain ice Toa. It's like a shadow within them that plays with their emotions and makes them exceptionally strong, but very nasty when they use this power. And if I remember clearly, in one episode involving Frona, they discovered black ice was an infection, and tried to rid her body of it. They never fully succeeded; but in later history Frona learns to control it, and therefore is a very powerful ice Toa who has the power of both white ice and black ice; no longer effected emotionally by the two.

Early history- Frona started off as a teacher in a Ko Koro school. Later on she was used in an alternate dimension of Vulpes Toa's world, and fell in love with the still living Toa Matoro. 
       Eventually the series of Vulpes Toa's dimension came to an end; but Frona, as a character, lived on in other dimensions I invented. This is why she shows up in the Life of Lewa series at some point; the explanation to why she's in this universe too, is simple, we'll just say her character exists in multiple fan fiction dimensions. Her history is obviously going to be tweaked depending on which dimension we look at. 

In the Life of Lewa series Frona is a protector of the ice region, an opera singer in the crystal halls, and a great fighter who's friends with Natasha, a female ice Glatorian (her history will be given later). Frona's character is relatively short lived in many series, but she always stands as a main character in my collection.

Basic information: 

Age: Toa years unknown (in Human years probably about 32).

Elemental powers: White ice (regular ice power)/ black ice (infected shadow ice power).

Weapons: Two ice plasma blades and a laser beam blaster in her x-ray and aiming mask scope.

Height: 7' 1'' 

Color: Main color-white/ secondary color- light blue/ accent color- dark royal blue

Personality: Can be playful, takes her work seriously, is slightly more open in conversation than most ice Toa, logical and calculative, prone to emotional anger swings, and doesn't like large crowds

Likes: She enjoys the appearance and smell of blue winter roses, takes long walks in the snow for some time to herself, does ice skating now and then, likes dancing alone, and loves to read books. On the occasion she's open to teaching students what she knows, but prefers to handle people one by one, not in groups. 

Abilities: She's swift, and likes hand to hand combat; but also feels stealth and the element of surprise are good qualities to remember and apply to certain situations. She also can cause avalanche with her opera songs and high pitched notes.

Below is the collection of images from the panel posted, for better viewing.

Back side of outfit

Speech stance
No black overlay
 Without the black overlay, Frona's outfit becomes like a bathing suit. Sometimes she'll fight this way because it's easier to move when not wearing her overlay. The overlay is more to keep her warm when she's not fighting.
Looking into your eyes
 The two pictures of her sleeping have double concepts. 

She's either sleeping in a fancy room, is reenacting the Sleeping Beauty play at the crystal opera house, or is actually dead. When I made this image I had all of those ideas in mind. But to stay away from tragedy, we'll only say she's pretending. 
 I think the sleeping beauty idea fits well..... Now where is prince charming? :P
