==History==
In the year 2099, a young girl named Winter Frost, like many teenagers, got a job at a local amusement park. But Million Palms Amusement Park wasn't like others, it actually had a king and a queen who presided over it. One day Queen Perigrine disappeared, and they found her body at the bottom of the [[Tunnel of love (amusement ride)|Tunnel of love]]. After that day, King Avian began to be suspicious of everyone and required genetic scans of all incoming tourist before they could enter. Anyone with genetic anomalies was imprisoned in an underground [[labyrinth]] and subjected to many tests and acts of torture.
Winter was discovered to be a mutant and was imprisoned like many others. Among the [[inmate]]s was a tormented girl named [[Willow (comics)|Willow]] who seemed as if she was about to die. The two girls became friends, but then Willow was taken away again by Avian. Winter tried to escape to save her friend, but didn't get far before she was discovered. For her actions she was sentenced to [[public execution]]. When she was taken to be executed, she saw that the king and ''queen'' were presiding over it. However, the queen looked different, having the same marks on her face that Willow had. In fact it was Willow—a mutant [[shapeshifting|shapeshifter]]—and the young girl orchestrated their escape from the facility.
The pair arrived at '''Halo City''', the home of [[X-Nation 2099|X-Nation]] and joined the group. It was some time later that Avian decided to mount a mission to recapture Willow in a bid to be the first to find the fabled ''Mutant [[Messiah]]''. He attacked the children and captured Willow again. Wanting to rescue their friend, X-Nation decided to infiltrate the Million Palms facility and save her. However, their fledgling efforts ended in their capture. They were able to escape, but upon their return home they found that Halo City was devastated.
Their home had been blown up by the Atlantean army and was being flooded. To add insult to injury, [[Exodus (comics)|Exodus]] had awoken from another century-long slumber and tried to make X-Nation his [[Acolytes (comics)|Acolytes]]. They refused and were subsequently beaten, and even still December was one of the few who believed that Exodus wasn't that bad. Their minds were made up when Exodus refused to save the human population of Halo City and they refused to be in service to him. Those who survived were [[teleportation|teleported]] away by ''Mademoiselle Strange'' and began to face their future.
==Powers==
December is capable of drastically lowering the air temperature surrounding her hands and projecting it outwards to freeze the air around her into [[arctic]] [[gale]] winds, allowing her to [[flash freezing|flash freeze]] or [[freeze dry]] objects in her surroundings.
It is also assumed, as with most elementals, that December has a biological immunity to her own powers, preventing [[frostbite]] and organ and tissue damage from the intense cold.
==Notes==
It was speculated by many fans—due to her appearance and her last name—that December was a distant relation of the [[X-Men]]'s [[Emma Frost]].
