Opening File: Camilla Hombee
Camilla Hombee is the president of the United States of America, as well as the civilian identity of Victory, a superhero. Camilla revealed her secret identity to the public so that she would have a better chance of making it through the election. She is a strong leader as she handles herself professionally in front of other superheroes, but she thinks highly of her ideas and isn't always open to other people's suggestions and insights. When others prove expertise and bravery that gain her appreciation, though, Camilla listens to their advice and trusts them as allies.
Due to years of experiences with villains, viewing many of them as merciless, Camilla cares most about stopping them, not bothering to ask questions on their motives or identity until afterwards. She is willing to use whatever method it takes to save the day, even if it's catastrophic, and the safety of humanity matters greatly to her. Being the President of the United States, she handles herself in a composed, professional and stern way whilst remaining polite, being welcoming of allies and friends of America and wanting them to remain safe and happy whilst still obeying the rules she lays down.
Though she was willing to use her superhero identity to secure her election, she does not abuse her presidential authority and uses it for the betterment of her people and the world, vowing to protect their freedom above all else. As a child Camilla idolized Uncle Sam, the previous top hero of America and the host of the American spirit. While secretly wishing it was her and not Major Glory to receive the spirit's power next, Camilla did not let that loss stop her. She graduated from Nevernest Academy and became not just a powerful Huntress but then entered politics after she gained a powerful reputation as the hero known as Victory.
Her determination, spirit and wish for equality made her a popular idol to many and an enemy to villains and the aggressive Satyra who saw her as a threat to their cause. Her status as both hero and huntress allowed her to win the election and as president she set forth to properly ensure America would be defend from not just the Grimm but also from various other threats. She has worked alongside other popular heroes and figures such as Phil Ken Sebben, setting up programs for helping with the youth are orphaned from Grimm attacks and setting up programs for them to be educated and adopted into living families. She supported Sebben's proposal to keep Hunters and heroes from being registered or being forced to join the military and even created a law stating that if anyone were to reveal the identity of a hero to a villain that would be grounds for six years minimum in prison.
In addition to the Justice Friends Camilla also created her own team of heroes to handle matters outside of GrimmFall and has funded for installment of military weapons to be secretly installed in various cities ranging from alleys to the tops of buildings and even disguising many as mailboxes or trash bins. While some have argued against this, believing it would be a threat to the rights of the people Camilla has stated that the people will always have their rights protected and these weapons are to ensure protection from the Grimm with the command codes only accessible by her and safe guards have been installed to ensure that if she ever is suspected of abusing her power then control of these weapons would be taken away. While some of accused her of possibly being corrupt without even knowing it Camille has shown to be a righteous and virtuous soul to the point it has been impossible for any of her opponents to anything to damage her reputation. It helps that even as President she remains an active Huntress and hero.

Opening File: Frosta
Frosta is the orphaned child of a family that specializes in a special Semblance that can control and manipulate ice, much like the legendary Yuki-Onna(Snow Women) in the Japanese myth that appear during a large snowstorm or blizzards. They are said to freeze lone travelers and abduct the males they like. Frosta comes from ancient clan of Shinobi from Japan, and the clan are in fact the ones to have created the Art of Fridjitzu. Though it speculated that the Art of Fridjituz is even more ancient than them and is in fact a fighting style created by a past Ice Elemental, and the founders of Frosta's clan discovered an ancient tomb describing the fighting style thousands of years ago during the Age of Darkness.
Wanting to live up and honor not just her deceased parents but all her Clans ancestors with the dignity and skill expected of her Frosta appears and comes across strict emotionally cool, logical, and a strong dislike of small talk or wasting time as she believes that her position as the last of her clan and the only hope for its revival, and not letting the Clans legacy and name end with her. All this to her viewpoint means she can't afford or waste time with childish things or being a child, and as such she's pushed herself to become as cold as the element she uses. Frosta can also come across as not just cold but harsh and critical to some people, especially those she either deems as fool or weak. But she most especially has a distaste for people that don't the duty of a Hunter and Huntress as serious or sacred as they should.
She also believes those with power have a duty that they must honor to protect the world and those that can't defend themselves from Grimm and Villains alike. Those that ignore this she coolly regards as trash to say the least. One example would be the Powerpuff Girls as she considers them unworthy of the power each wields, as well naive because to Frosta the world they call home is and has been at war and ignoring this is the height of foolishness. Frosta's goals are to not only honor her Clan and become a strong Elite Class Huntress, but also one day restore the Clan to the power it once held during the days of the Emperor.
She has sworn a blood oath to avenge her parents and all her clan members, all of whom were killed and slaughtered due to the manipulations of the one who unleashed an eight headed and eight tailed Grimm serpent/dragon named after the Yamata no Orochi. Frosta's family tried their best to kill the beast, but it was too late, Yamata no Orochi ate Frosta's entire family alive. Frosta saw the death of her family in her own eyes, this left her as the last family member and youngest of her family.
She began crying with tears that turned to ice as Yamata no Orochi disappeared into the smoke. After the crisis Frosta took over as the head of the family. Even to this day she carries the scars of that terrible night when her clan was attacked and slaughtered and their ancient ancestral home that had stood since the Age of Darkness was burnt down. She remembers her mother fleeing the Clan compound that was in flames with her in her arms, along with what important artifacts of their clan she could save such as a scroll holding information on the Clans most guarded secret and treasure: The Fractal Flake.
Her father and other survivors clashed with Yamato no Orochi with its summoner's dark laugh haunting her memories. She also remember her mother coming under attack by one of the people who summoned the beast who was attacking their clan along with his father, and trying ensure there were no survivor. Frosta mother told her to run as fast as she could and don't look back no matter what, than clashed with Benedict Uno Jr to buy her daughter as much time to escape as possible. So since that dark night Frosta has carried a deep hatred of the family and has sworn a blood oath to the spirits of her parents, clan, and ancestors, to bring justice to them all by killing every single member of the evil family no matter what it takes.
Frosta was also one of the many children to be kidnapped by Billiam Milliam in his bid to steal all the riches in the world and witnessed Dani Phantom saving her and the rest of the hostages before flying off to help defeat Billiam. Since then Frosta has nursed a small childish idolization of Dani for her 'awesome' and 'super cool' ghost powers but has worked to temper it while respecting her for showing proper mindset and potential of a proper hero and huntress during the Golden Castle Crisis, also finds her skill unrefined and mind unsharpened so to speak. Still when she was offered the chance to help Dani master her new ice powers she accepted, seeing this as an opportunity to gain the newly appeared hero as a partner and a chance to help sharpen Dani's skill and also school her into acting in Frosta's opinion as a proper huntress and hero in training should.

"Politics. Just about the most amoral job on the planet. No one's truly good and no one is truly bad. It's easy to find fault in everything you might try no matter how good your intentions might be. Whether it be trying to make things better for the environment, sponsoring programs for helping children or the elderly or even simply trying to balance the budget. Your hard work is overlooked, your mistakes are blown out of proportions and the hours are long and hard." TOM lectured as the file closed. "It's up to you to decide if it is worth it."

The sound of the airship landing stirred Danielle from her sleep. Surprisingly she had been able to fall asleep despite being in a tank filled with liquid but the warm temperature combined with her floating in inside a tank in a dark cargo bay she had been able to fall asleep much easier than expected. Everyone else had chosen to rest around her de-icing unit, all of them having been provided with covers and sleeping bags to make their rest as comfortable as possible. The sound of the airship landing, followed by the opening of the cargo door has stirred them all from their sleep.
Danielle tried to see as best as she could from inside the de-icing unit, hearing a pair of footsteps approaching. Looking up she was greeted with the surprising sight of a girl around her age staring at her. She had a short cobalt blue bob cut, blunt bangs and two strands of hair that hung in front of her ears. She had almost-shaped black eyes, blue triangular eyebrows and wore a three pointed ice crown like a headband.
She wore a blue jacket lined with white fur, a dark slate blue belt, light khaki pants and fur-lined boots that were cerulean, light blue and dark blue.
She stared down with a completely blank look and she spoke in a cool(no pun intended) voice that was meant to convey she was a no-nonsense kind of person. "You are Dani Phantom?"
Danielle slowly nodded. "That's me."
"I am Frosta." She said, speaking perfect English. "I've been told you are developing a form of ice powers and I was asked to help you learn how to control them."
The way this girl spoke, so calm and almost like she was trying to sound like an adult was unnerving but Danielle simply nodded. "Yes, that's right."
"Well, then we better get started." Frosta said with a gesture.
Behind her appeared two aides, wearing ankle-length, hooded, fur lined coats with boots and gloves that helped set the de-icing unit up right. Danielle watched her unit was wheeled out of the back of the airship and the first thing she saw was snow.
Pure white snow with the sun gleaming down on it that temporarily blinded her. When her eyes adjusted she saw a gate and fence that led up into a snowy forest.
"You'll have to say goodbye to your friends." Danielle glanced at Frosta who stood next to her unit. "You have been given permission to enter my family's home. They have not."
This caused a minor protest from the others such as Kuki and Mushi but Frosta wouldn't even look at them. Miku voiced a small protest but backed down while Shinobu tried to be the reasonable one of the group but Frosta was unwilling to budge on the matter and said that if they refused to leave Danielle could not be brought up to her home to get the help she needed.
"Guys, maybe you should do as she asks. Technically she is right, no one asides me has permission to enter her property." Danielle spoke up, her filtered voice halting the argument. "Thank you all for coming with me but I think it's best if we do as…Frosta asks."
That seemed to convince them for the most part with Kuki and Mushi looking the saddest as they exchanged goodbyes before heading back onto the airship.
"Come back soon, Dani!" Kuki waved with her sister as the ramp lifted up and closed.
Danielle waved back, watching as the airship lifted off. Once it was off the ground Frosta gestured and the door was opened.
"Impressive work in convincing them." Frosta said as they walked through the gate.
Danielle shrugged inside the unit. "It was just honesty. Nothing special about it."
Frosta hummed and said nothing else as they continued their trek through the icy forest. At the end was a massive three story mansion, standing out like a monument covered in snow and seemingly made ice that was made only to enhance its beauty. It resembled a five star resort with a beautifully decorated front yard.
"Very few people outside the family have been allowed here. The attendants are thoroughly trained and tested to ensure they are completely loyal before being allowed here." Frosta explained, stopping before the stairs leading up to the pair of large white doors. "It seems I came unprepared. My apologies."
She held out her hand and placed it on the ground. From the ground came ice that traveled up the stairs to the doors so Danielle's unit would have an easier time being wheeled up.
"Come." Frosta gestured as she walked up the stairs to the doors.
Frosta's attendants wheeled Danielle's unit up to the doors which were immediately opened. Inside the interior was a mix of blue and white, illuminated by a beautiful chandelier.
"We've picked out a room for you." Frosta stated. "Obviously you won't be able to enjoy it much from inside that unit but we'll get started on your training in the basement."
With that Danielle was wheeled down into the basement of the mansion while Frosta retreated up to the second floor. She entered her room, which happened to be a rather large elegant room with a white queen sized bed and balcony that overlooked the backyard.
This happened to be the master bedroom which she took as her own after…
She sat on the bed and took a deep breath, taking a few minutes to compose herself.
'Stay focused, Frosta. You have to make a good impression.' She thought to herself. 'After all this is the Dani Phantom. The one who…'
Frosta remembered the golden castle she had been imprisoned in.
There she, along with many others were rescued by a girl who walk through walls, disappear and fly.
She led them out of the prison, only to end up turned into gold.
But just when the gold madman was going kill them as the golden cage around them grew smaller.
She remembered the cage she was in threatening to shrink down and crush her body.
Then it suddenly glowed green and she fell onto the floor.
"WHAT?!" Billiam exclaimed.
Dani Phantom rose up from the floor, her hands glowing with power as she glared at Billiam. "Remember me?"
"Impossible! I turned you to solid gold!"
Then when they were on the airship and the golden blast was fired at them, Dani made the airship and everyone on it transparent and allowed the blast to go through it and them. She remembered staring at the ghost girl in awe for her power and how she saved them, not once but twice now.
"Dani Phantom…" Frosta sighed as she lied down on the bed.
Deep within her there was a part of her that was excited in complete and utter glee to have the famous ghost girl with her super awesome powers in her home and having a chance for them to train together in mastering their ice powers.
She needed to keep that excitement down and focus on the task ahead…

Danielle was apprehensive about being removed from the de-icing unit even though she had been told that the unit would keep her ice powers temporarily dormant until she started using her ghost powers. Frosta's aides were already standing by as the unit was drained off the warm liquid and helped Danielle out of the tube. Her breathing apparatus was removed and she was moved behind a dresser so she could remove the skin tight wet suit next. None of her clothes had been transported with her and she hadn't had the time for buying any personal possessions with her new money so she had packed very light for this trip.
Her aides helped her into a plain white kimono with a grey obi sash as Frosta entered the basement. Like the rest of the house the basement was large with several rooms but the largest room was a training area in the exact center.
"You are ready. Good." Frosta was wearing a similar kimono with a blue obi sash. "Now we begin."

"Thank for seeing me on such short notice, Mayor Sebben."
"It wasn't like I could refuse your call, Madam President."
That was right.
Mayor Sebben was speaking with the President of the United States herself: Camilla Hombee.
She was a dark skinned woman with brown eyes, dark brown hair that was cut short and combed to the right side. She wore a black blouse under a blue jacket with a US flag pinned to her lapel. Her neck and ears were decorated with jewelry made of pearls. Her jacket was tied with a black belt around the waist and she wore a blue pencil skirt with a black stripe on the front and black heels.
"I understand you wish to call on additional heroes to help guard GrimmFall." Camilla started the conversation.
"Only until after an important mission into Nowhere is finished." Sebben clarified. "Our teams are almost ready to address the issue there. You've read the files we sent on Van Kleiss, right?"
"I have." Camilla nodded. "And on the people he had abducted and were found. Those three young heroes: Superboy, Artemis and Raven along with the others such as the group called the Legendary Warriors and I understand that the Prime Minister of Japan has allowed for one to stay in his home."
"Well, his daughters took an immediate liking to her." Sebben shrugged with a small smile before getting back on the subject. "Anyways, we suspect that Van Kleiss will be expecting an attack and his underground lab will be heavily guarded and we can expect aid from his benefactor."
"Sammael." Camilla noted with a frown.
As the president Camilla was up to date on all known information about the Fallen who were beings infused with the essence of the Grimm and especially the eldest of them all.
"Sammael had a reason for setting up Van Kleiss and this dimensional operation in the Nowhere mountains. While it was initially a perfect place to hide since it's a location no one actually goes to I suspect he had an ulterior motive." Sebben continued.
"Care to guess what that is or have you already seen it?" Camilla asked knowingly.
"I may have glanced a bit." Sebben admitted slyly.
"Hm." Camilla was the one smiling now.
"I think the Nowhere Mountains holds a great secret, one connected with this." Sebben tapped his eyepatch.
"You mean…" Camilla trailed off slightly. "Which one?"
"Heart." Sebben answered. "There are records of an underground temple being built underneath the sharpest of mountains where a spring can be found that can heal all wounds, guarded by a tribe of goat Mobians."
"The hot springs of Nowhere. A tribe of such Mobians drove out a resort that took advantage of the springs." Camilla recalled. "You think he's found it?"
"Even if he has the temple is well protected with safe guards to protect the Gem of Heart. I suspect he set Van Kleiss up there to orchestrate a plan to get into this temple and retrieve the Gem. With the amount of possible dangers there it would be too dangerous even for top Huntsman to risk going." Sebben continued.
"So he's got this Van Kleiss gathering allies, forcing you to gather teams of the best, even from the Justice Friends to try stop him before he becomes too powerful." Camilla finished for the mayor. "Risking paving the way open to the Gem of Heart for Sammael to swoop in and take it. But there is one variable still missing."
"The Fire Elemental." Sebben nodded.
"Does Sammael have her and has he convinced her to cooperate?" Camilla questioned rhetorically before shaking her head. "He set this all into motion and we're just now seeing it?"
"What do you suggest, Madam President?"
Camilla looked at Sebben. "You'll have your reinforcements, Sebben but I want as many contingency plans as possible. Sammael cannot be allowed to get his hands on the Gem of Heart."
"Understood, Madam President." Sebben nodded.
Camilla nodded as well before her image fizzled and vanished, revealing that she had been a hologram all along.
