Secondary Military Specialty: Survivalist
Birthplace: Santa Catarina, Brazil
Grade: E-6
Frigid learned the art of explosives early on in South America from her father who was an explosives expert himself in the Brazilian Army. As a single father he wanted better for his only daughter, but the ever serious girl refused to be left behind, and quickly picked up on the skill. As a teenager she was already a fierce hand to hand combat fighter and could outshoot nearly anyone she encountered.
What would cause this Brazilian beauty to become and arctic trooper for G.I. Joe? In a word Cobra. They killed her father who refused to join them. Something changed in her that day, she became very cold and distant, she said she wanted to leave her homeland because it was too painful to stay. Coming to America she joined the military and eventually G.I. Joe.
From Psyche Out's files, "She's an interesting case...her beauty turns a lot of heads, but emotionally she's void. She's an excellant team player but her involvement ends there, she eats alone, spends her off duty hours alone doing solitary things, and prefers the cold isolated missions rather than spending time with others. The only one she has shown any kinship to is Deep Six who has a similar stand off-ish personality. And even then its less of a friendship, and more of a begrudging respect."
