A year before she becomes West Genetics' student council president, Chiffon Fairchild is a new Pandora still learning what her body and her Volt Weapon can do. Alongside classmate Ticy Phenyl, the future vice-president, and others including Elizabeth Mably and Arnett McMillan, Chiffon faces the battles and losses that earn her the nickname the Unmatched Smiling Monster, a title the main Freezing series takes for granted but never explains. This prequel fills in that first year at the academy.
