Defrosting Ice Queen: Difference between revisions

* This is basically the entire dynamic between Limone and Dominura in ''[[Simoun]]'', with the former making the latter realize her repressed emotional side and evolve away from a heartless manipulator she is first introduced as. In fact, Limone's [[Fan Nickname]] is "Icebreaker" in recognition of this feat.

* Nadia from ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]''. She initially comes across as a cold, aloof pessimist with no interest in communicating with other people (except animals, notably her pet lion cub, King). She also has a very vicious and somewhat sociopathic temper and stubborn, unbending views about the world. However, she finds herself falling for Jean, and the unlikely relationship that develops between them slowly transforms her, bringing out her caring side as she learns to trust others. There are a few moments when she sometimes lashes out at Jean, but he always forgives her. Likewise, when Nadia isn't brooding over her relationship with Jean, she goes out of her way to do nice things for him (cooking, encouraging him to build a gyrocopter, and even comforting him about his father's death). {{spoiler|In fact, they get married at the end.}}

* ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]''' Sylia Stingray, depending on whether or not you consider ''Bubblegum Crash!'' to be canon.

* In ''[[Captain Tsubasa]]'', Carlos Santana and Stefan Levin are [[Emotionless Girl|Emotionless Boys]] due to [[Break the Cutie|the different traumas in their lives]]. As they start to heal, they become this.

* [[Betty and Veronica|Veronica Lodge]] from [[Archie Comics]] is a [[Rich Bitch]], but has gotten enough [[Pet the Dog]] moments in her time that she qualifies for being defrosted.

* The female Dr. Light, during [[The DCU|DC's]] ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]''. It's particularly interesting -- and personally amusing -- to note that, of the 562 characters featured in this all-encompassing [[Crisis Crossover]], which include the renowned Superman and Batman, she is the only one who received any [[Character Development]].

** It's even lampshaded in the ''[[Justice League of America]]'' title, where [[Zatanna]] recognizes that Kimiyo has been taken down and replaced by an impostor after seeing how politely she is acting.

* Snow White in Willingham's ''[[Fables]]''.
