Biography: Miranda Frost is a Harvard-educated, gold medal-winning Olympic fencer (trained by Madonna’s character, Verity) posing as Graves’ publicist and fencing partner. She won gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She is sent by M to work alongside Bond, but does not approve of Bond’s methods. However, when Bond is about to be caught spying around the ice palace in Iceland, she pretends to be Bond’s lover by kissing him in order to avoid blowing both their covers. They then escape and go back to Bond’s room, where they have sex.

It is later revealed that she is the sought-after traitor who partnered with Colonel Moon in the West and compromised Bond’s identity during his mission to kill the dictator, which resulted in his capture. According to M she discovered that Frost and Moon were both teammates on the Harvard fencing team. On board Graves’s plane, Giacinta ‘Jinx’ Johnson kills her by stabbing her in the chest with a knife skewered through Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.
