Elsa Rose

**Elsa Rose** is the daughter of Queen Aurora Rose and King Philip. She was an act of rebellion against her mother's parents, Tiana and Prince Naveen, and is a twin to her sister Anna. She was conceived in episode 6 of the Aurora generation of the Disney Princess Challenge and born in the 7th episode.

Elsa is the current queen of Arendale.

## Description

Though a benevolent and giving person, Elsa suffers from emotional instability due to years of keeping her emotions bottled up. When her strong emotions are triggered, Elsa often loses control over her emotions which can create dangerous situations for herself and others around her. An example of this is when Anna informed her that she had unknowingly plunged Arendelle into an "eternal winter", she began panicking as she realised she had brought harm upon her kingdom, which made her lose control of both her emotions and powers, resulting in ice bursting from her chest and striking Anna in the heart. But perhaps the prime example of this was when the Duke of Weselton's guards attempted to assassinate her and Elsa realises she has no choice but to fight back, and, unable to control her fury, goes from self-defence to fighting back more aggressively, nearly pushing a man off the edge of her ice palace and pinning another to the wall with icicles, ready to kill him before Hans intervened and talked her down from committing cold-blooded murder to protect herself.

During "Let It Go", however, Elsa reveals a liberated side to her personality. Without stress, responsibilities, or the fear of hurting others, the queen is strong and unafraid, yet with an air of elegance still surrounding her. Based on this fact, she has confidence in her abilities and accepts them as a part of her, no longer worried or daunted by her restraints. In the segment, which was entirely about letting go of her fear of using her powers and embracing herself, Elsa decides to abandon what she was made to be so that she can be free to be herself. While expressing this, Elsa proves that she is notably creative and strong in geometry (her ice palace is made entirely out of geometric figures), and a daring young woman willing to reject her own fate as Arendelle's queen for the choice of her own personal freedom as well as to protect the people in Arendelle from her powers.

Following her return to power as Arendelle's reigning monarch, Elsa's original personality, long dormant since her childhood, makes a return. With a warm, welcoming aura, Elsa rules her kingdom with a genuine smile and spends most of her spare time using her abilities for the pleasure of herself, her sister, and the entire kingdom. As seen in Frozen Fever, this aspect of Elsa's personality has not only remained, but strengthened, as the short heavily showcased Elsa's lighter side as fun-loving, and extremely devoted to her sister, yet retained her sense of elegance, vibrancy, and compassion. In spite of this, Elsa continues to feel guilt for the past, which manifested itself into a personal mission to ensure that Anna is content at all times; in Frozen Fever, she went to great lengths to give Anna a memorable birthday, and dedicated to ensuring that even the slightest detail was perfect. During their first holiday season as a united family, Elsa came to realize that she and Anna had no family traditions to share with one another, which she openly blamed herself for.

In the sequel, Elsa seeks the truth about the source of her powers as well as who she really is. She begins to question her place in Arendelle as Ahtohallan calls for her every night until she answers it during "Into the Unknown". Upon entering the Enchanted Forest, Elsa becomes more confident with her abilities and heroic protecting her family and the Northundra from the wind and fire spirits. She has since become more heroic, promising the Northundra that she will do what she can to break the curse and free the forest. This drives her to seek the truth of the past by journeying to Ahtohallan despite the dangers it presented, as well as great strength and determination fighting and taming the Nokk. After witnessing their parents' deaths through a memory stored in ice, Elsa blames herself, and refuses to let Anna follow her into the Dark Sea. She finally finds Ahtohallan and recognizes herself as the Fifth Spirit, recognizing that her powers were indeed a gift and not a curse, no longer feeling restricted in using her powers. Having found her place among the spirits she passes the position of Queen of Arendelle onto Anna, and stays behind to live with the Northuldra as the forest's protector, finally at peace with herself and with both the freedom she’s always wanted and her bond with her sister stronger than ever.

## Toddlerhood

Elsa and Anna aged up in the final episode of season 4, after her parents moved to Arendale. Elsa aged up with the independent trait as she likes to take her own path in life. The sisters were seen playing together a lot.

## Childhood

Elsa aged up with her sister Anna in the first episode of the Frozen season. She aged up with the Social Butterfly aspiration and the Cold Acclimation trait, meaning she won't be effected by the cold weather. Elsa and Anna played in the snow together and were very close friends but Elsa accidentally struck Anna with her magic so their parents decided to separate the sisters. As the years went by, Elsa continued to isolate herself from Anna and even her parents.

## Teenhood

Elsa and Anna both aged up into teenagers in episode 2 of the season. Elsa aged up with the Monarch trait and the Spellcarft and Sorcery aspiration. By the time Anna and Elsa are 15 years old, their parents Aurora and Philip decide to go on a two-week trip across the sea to find answers to Elsa's powers but they perish at sea, leaving Anna and Elsa devastated and Elsa the next to be in line for the throne.

In episode 3, Elsa is nervous about her upcoming coronation as she is now 21 years old and is ready to become queen. Elsa becomes queen but is shocked to find out her sister - who she speaks to for the first time in years - has agreed to marry Prince Hans of the Southern Isles as Anna has just met him an hour ago. Anna and Hans want Elsa's blessing for their marriage, but she refuses as Elsa believes you can't marry a man you just met. Elsa and Anna get into an argument, causing Elsa to reveal her powers to everyone in Arendale. Frightened that everyone hates her, Elsa flees from Arendale and goes across the sea towards the North Mountain. Elsa creates her own ice palace from her magic and moves into her castle.

## Adulthood

Elsa and Anna aged up into young adults by episode 4. Anna went on the search for Elsa and later met Kristoff, Olaf and Sven. The group arrive at Elsa's place where she meets Olaf and realises she created him with her ice magic when singing "Let It Go". Anna and Elsa argue when Anna tries to bring Elsa home to Arendale, but Elsa refuses after feeling embarrassed and doesn't know how to control her powers. Elsa learns from Anna that she accidentally caused an eternal winter in Arendale and she ends up striking Anna in the heart with her magic after their argument and she kicks Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven out of the ice palace.

In episode 5, Elsa is tricked into thinking that she killed her sister Anna by Hans so causes another snow storm from her upset mood. Hans takes this as a chance to strike down Elsa but before Hans can kill Elsa, Anna sacrifices herself for her sister, knocking Hans out. Heartbroken, Elsa hugs and morns her sister which revives Anna as her actions were an act of true love. The sisters are finally reunited and Elsa thaws Arendale after learning the key to controlling her powers is love.
