Ice Maiden

Ice Maiden is an imaginary security person employed in the PanOpticon building.

In the novel number9dream, while drinking coffee at Jupiter Café, Eiji Miyake imagines entering the PanOpticon building, where a woman on a screen asks him for his name and business. He does not know her name and even wonders, briefly, whether she is human or a computer simulation, but he finds her “blemishlessly, symmetrically beautiful,” and refers to her as Ice Maiden for the duration of the segment. He tells her that he is Ran Sogabe,  a “Goldfish Pal” who has come to PanOpticon to service the aquarium of the law firm Osugi and Bosugi.
