Characters: Die Another Day

Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson (Halle Berry)

An NSA agent who joins Bond in Cuba.

Action Girl / Faux Action Girl: Seems to switch scene to scene.
In-Series Nickname
Spy Catsuit

Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike)

MI 6 operative working on the Gustav Graves case. She was also an Olympic fencer.

Bare Your Midriff
Defrosting Ice Queen: Well the defrosting part is a subversion. She was faking it to get Bond's trust.
Evil Blonde
Hot Chick with a Sword
Meaningful Name
The Mole
Pimped Out Dress: Her ice blue dress, with tassels like icicles.
Pretty in Mink: Has a fur scarf, a fur trimmed coat, and her white fur wrap Would be Fur and Loathing, except she wears a few furs before the reveal, and they seem to be fake anyway.
Rule of Symbolism: Her name, and the style of her ice dress.
Second Place Is For Losers: She got a silver medal for fencing, but was awarded gold after the previous winner OD'ed on steroids which was planted by Graves's people, thus effectively buying Miranda's loyalty. Thus this trope comes into play, in that she would turn on her country rather than accept second place.

Evil Redhead
Kill Sat: Part of his Evil Plan.

Shock and Awe: Wears a protective electric suit in the climax of the movie which also doubles as (in his words) an ergonomical way to control the Icaros.

Villain with Good Publicity
