Why does elsa look like that

I left a packed showing of Frozen 2 on Sunday night feeling a wintry mix of emotions. Mainly, gratitude that my two-year-old and five-year-old—plus four of their friends—sat through it, affording us adults roughly two hours to lie undisturbed in reclining seats.

Obviously, it was charming to see a packed theater of little costumed Elsas flaunting clip-in braids. But at the same time, I had little to no idea what I had just seen. Was her grandpa a colonizing a-hole?

I am only sure of the latter spoiler: yes. More like the entire time except for when Olaf was reenacting the original Frozen via dramatic ice dance, which was perfect. Here they are. In the original Frozen , Anna turning to solid ice marked her temporary death.

Later that day, Elsa went to Anna's bedroom to apologise for her abrupt exit. She found Anna in the attic space above her bedroom, where Elsa was surprised by Anna springing out of a box where she was looking for family traditions.

They looked inside Elsa's own trunk, which was mainly filled with satin gloves; and her beloved childhood toy, Sir Jorgenbjorgen , who she remembered being a good listener. Inside Elsa's chest was also a box, containing what she thought to be the answer to their problem of having no traditions. When Sven returned from his travels with Olaf, Elsa was there to interpret his message that Olaf was in lost in the forest and needed help.

Elsa, Anna and Kristoff set off to gather the citizens and search for Olaf. Eventually, Elsa and the search party made their way into the surrounding forest , where Elsa and Anna soon found Olaf under a pile of snow, upset to have failed in finding traditions for the pair.

Elsa assured him that he had not failed, revealing that he was in fact their tradition, and showed him the box of presents Anna had made for Elsa as they grew up, all featuring Olaf. He had been the one that kept Elsa and Anna connected during their years apart, showing that they still loved each other.

The pair hugged Olaf, and Elsa then made him a new bow from ice. Elsa and the group began to make their way back through the forest , on the way stopping on a frozen lake. Here, Elsa conjured large tables from ice, where the castle staff and citizens laid down food for everyone. Elsa also created a large Christmas tree, and decorated it with lanterns.

To finish the tree, she froze a figurine of Olaf inside a star made of ice, and transported Olaf to the top of the tree, where he placed the decoration.

On his return, Elsa commented on how Arendelle now had a new family tradition, whereupon a fruitcake fell on Olaf. Elsa, Olaf , Kristoff , and Sven prepared the courtyard for Anna's nineteenth birthday. On Anna's nineteenth birthday , Elsa was determined to give her sister the best celebration possible to make up for the past birthdays that she had missed.

Using her magic, Elsa crafted several figurines of herself and Anna atop an ice cream cake , ultimately settling on a design in which they were skating. Politely smiling at Kristoff and Sven's contribution, a large banner, Elsa went to wipe paint from the ice harvester's face, though her attention was directed at Olaf as he was helping himself to some cake.

After stopping the snowman, Elsa told everyone not to touch anything while she went to wake Anna. After eagerly rousing her sister and giving her a new dress to wear, Elsa sneezed and produced two Snowgies , though the tiny snowmen scampered off before she noticed. Anna voiced her concern that Elsa was coming down with a cold; however, Elsa replied that she did not get colds and proceeded to use her magic to spruce up both her and Anna's dresses.

Wanting to get started with the celebration , Elsa told Anna to follow a red string that ran throughout the castle and would lead her to presents. For part of this journey, the two rode a bike around the castle halls and down a spiral staircase. The two sisters eventually made their way into the village, though Elsa continued sneezing, obliviously producing more Snowgies in the process.

Though she tried to continue the birthday celebrations, conducting a choir to sing for Anna, Elsa's state continued to worsen; she was even offered a cold remedy upon encountering Oaken. As the sun set, Elsa led her sister towards the clock tower, but Anna grew more concerned over Elsa's condition. Insisting that she was fine, Elsa climbed up to the top of the tower but nearly fell after swinging around a wooden beam.

However, Elsa was saved by her sister, who made her realize that she was indeed sick and that she needed to return home to rest. After a long day, Elsa decided to get some rest and allowed Anna to take care of her. On the way back, Elsa brooded over how she had ruined another birthday, though Anna assured her that this was not the case, instead insisting that Elsa get some rest. However, the two sisters were surprised when the gates opened to reveal the surprise party and the large number of Snowgies in attendance.

Initially surprised, Elsa realized that the Snowgies were the result of her sneezes after producing a few more and witnessing them scamper off to join their counterparts in helping to present Anna's cake. Seeing that the celebration was not ruined, Elsa turned to blow the birthday bukkehorn, after which Anna took her to bed.

As Elsa rested in bed, Anna gave her some medicine and thanked her for the chance to take care of her, regarding it as the best birthday present ever. Elsa appreciated Anna's words, and after giving her a smile, she sneezed, producing a few more Snowgies. Three years later, Elsa was continuing her duties as queen, hosting royal gatherings at the castle. Three years had passed since Elsa revealed her powers, and the now twenty-four-year-old Elsa had settled into her position as Arendelle's reigning monarch.

Despite this, Elsa was not content with her place, in spite of her companionship with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven, and the acceptance from her subjects.

As fall approached Arendelle, Elsa was faced with many questions about who and what she really is, and wondered if her purpose is really meant to be ruling Arendelle.

Meanwhile, a strange voice that only Elsa could hear kept calling to her. One night, as Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf played charades. Despite trying her best to join in, Elsa became distracted when she heard the voice again. When the game finished Elsa told Anna she was tired and left for her room. Anna followed her upstairs and saw Elsa wearing their mother's scarf. Anna comforted Elsa and sung her a lullaby. The sisters both fell asleep, but Elsa was woken by the voice. Elsa wondered if it could perhaps show her where her magical powers came from.

Despite her concerns, Elsa decided to follow the voice one night, believing it had something important to tell her. A magical forest revealed itself to Elsa through her magic.

As she followed the voice out of the castle, Elsa let her magic run free, unconsciously generating snowy projections of various scenes and objects, including a gust of wind, a flame, humanoid rocks, and a mystic horse. Elsa, immersed in a spiritual duet with the voice, ran toward a peak overlooking the Arenfjord. The voice disappeared, and Elsa generated a plethora of ice diamonds suspended in the air. Elsa recognized the symbols in the diamonds as elemental signs, before they all collapsed to the ground after the appearance of a large symbol in the sky.

Elsa made her way back to the town with the wind violently blowing around her. With the water and fire of the kingdom gone, Elsa realized that the earth was the next thing to be disturbed. Elsa continued through the town, encouraging the citizens to make there way to the cliffs outside of Arendelle. After everyone evacuated to the cliffs, Elsa admitted to Anna that she had awakened the elemental spirits of the Enchanted Forest, and in doing so, unleashed the elemental forces of the elemental spirits upon Arendelle, forcing the entire village to take refuge.

Grand Pabbie arrived, telling Elsa that the elements were acting out from anger of a past offense, and the only way to save Arendelle was to quell their rage and restore balance.

He warned Elsa and Anna that the wrong must be righted, or there would be no future for Arendelle. Elsa promised to set things right, and despite her desire to travel alone, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven insisted upon accompanying Elsa on her journey. Despite being trapped in the forest, Elsa was still able to appreciate is beauty. As the group approached the Forest Elsa began hearing the voice again.

She told Kristoff to stop talking and he brought the sled to a halt. Elsa led the group round the corner of a cliff where on a plateau an immense mist greeted them. Elsa ran up to meet it; after promising to Anna that they would go through the journey together she reached out and touched the mist which parted for her. The group then started to enter, the mist closing up behind them.

Olaf explained that Enchanted Forests were a place of transformation, at which point the mist propelled them through to the Forest.

Seeing that they were trapped in, Elsa turned around and marvelled at the beauty of the forest and began to explore it. The group separated for a time before Anna caught up again with Elsa. They found that Olaf had been swept up in a tornado, which the rest of the group were also taken up in. Elsa used her powers to protect Anna from some flying debris before the wind began investigating Elsa's hands. The rest of the group were ejected, leaving Elsa to use her powers to force her way out.

After gaining her footing ghostly images appeared in the wall of the hurricane. The wind dissipated in a sudden burst, leaving frozen statues surrounding Elsa. She realized that they were moments in time. They also recognised their father as one of the statues, with a girl who appeared to be saving him. The group then begun to hear rustling in the bushes, which revealed itself to be the Northuldra people, who ordered Anna to lower the sword she had picked up.

A group of Arendellian soldiers also appeared, demanding the Northuldra to lower their weapons too. As tensions escalated between the two groups, Elsa used her powers to stop them, causing them to slip over. Shocked at her use of magic, Olaf then explained who they were and why they had traveled to the Enchanted Forest, to the embarrassment of Elsa. She explained to the Northuldra leader that she wanted to help, at which point magical fires began to burn the trees surrounding the group.

Elsa was able to calm the fire spirit , befriending him in the process. Elsa chased down the source of the flames, protecting the Northuldra encampment and extinguishing the flames Anna had run through to keep her from harm.

Cornering the creature, she realized it was a small frightened salamander. Elsa diffused one final fire started by the salamander, at which point it began to calm down and climb onto her hands. After showing Elsa that she should keep travelling north, Anna caught up with her sister.

Elsa berated her for trying to follow her into the flames, to which Anna retorted that she should not run into fire in the first place. Elsa apologised and gave Anna their mother's scarf from her satchel. The Northuldra reacted in amazement, informing the sisters that the scarf was from one of their oldest families.

Elsa and Anna rushed back to the statue of their father, realizing that the girl saving him was in fact their mother. The Northuldra then gathered in song and formally introduced themselves, whereupon Elsa promised to find the truth about what had happened and restore the forest.

The group remained at the encampment, where Honeymaren explained the elements and her existence of a fifth spirit, said to be the bridge between magic and nature. The Earth Giants were them heard traveling towards the camp, at which point Elsa hid behind a tree. Tempted to follow, she was talked down by Anna. Deciding that they put everyone else in unnecessary danger, Elsa informed Anna that they would leave immediately. On their way, Elsa tried to attract the siren call of the voice by calling back to it in the same fashion.

The wind spirit caught up with the group, which drew their attention to a flag situated just over the crest of a hill. Elsa ran to the top, followed by Anna. The sisters, in horror, recognised the large ship they saw as that of their parent's.

They entered through a breach in its hull, alarmed to find the ship so far north in the Dark Sea when it was thought the ship was sunk in the Southern Sea. Anna located a waterproof compartment which contained unrecognisable inscriptions on a piece of paper, along with a map which displayed the route taken by the ship. After discovering how their parents died, Anna had to reassure Elsa that it was not her fault. Recognising their mother's handwriting, and with the allusion to water having memory, Elsa summoned the water contained in the ship to discover what had happened to her parents.

An ice sculpture of them formed of them embracing one another. Deeply distressed, Elsa fled the scene. Wracked with guilt over her indirect role in her parents' death, Elsa told Anna how she must continue alone, reasoning that the Dark Sea was too dangerous for the two of them. Anna insisted on going her, pleading that she did not want to see Elsa die trying to be everything for everyone else. With Anna telling her that she could not lose her sister, Elsa hugged and reciprocated her sister's sentiment.

She invited Olaf to join in the hug, with Elsa then conjuring up a canoe for them, sending Anna and Olaf speedily along an icy path back towards the forest. Elsa continued north, where she reached a coastline on along the Dark Sea.

Removing her cloak, jacket and boots, she attempted to cross with the use of her magic, but was hampered by the ferocity of the waves.

On her second attempt she was able to pass through one wave, only to be swamped by another, even larger one that sent her down beneath the waves. It was here that the water horse approached her. Once back at the surface, the horse rose from the depths to meet her. The two engaged in a melee which involved the horse pushing Elsa beneath the waves, Elsa freezing the horse, which then dispersed, and Elsa being thrown around again at the surface.

Being dragged along by the horse with her hand in its mouth, Elsa conjured up a magical rein which attached around the horse's head. Mounting the spirit, the horse attempted to eject Elsa, but after a moment calmed and allowed itself to be steered, taking Elsa towards Ahtohallan. The waters calmed, and Elsa again heard the voice calling to her. Like Elsa, Ingrid holds power over ice and snow and is universally known as the Snow Queen.

Elsa welcomes Ingrid back into Arendelle and is soon greeted by Anna returned from her adventures. However, it is soon discovered that Ingrid has villainous intentions. One day, Ingrid accidentally killed Helga, resulting in Gerda, in grief, trapping Ingrid in the magical urn to prevent her from causing more harm. When Ingrid returned, she wanted a new family to fill the void her sisters left, but one where they are equally empowered with magic, thus decidedly plotting to eliminate Anna.

In hopes of turning Elsa against her sister, as well, Ingrid entrances Anna, forcing the latter to confront a confused and frightful Elsa. Anna threatens to imprison Elsa within the same urn that trapped Ingrid, and although Ingrid intended for Elsa to kill her sister before she had the chance. Elsa refused to hurt Anna and Anna unseals the urn in which Elsa is then imprisoned. Ingrid in a rage takes the urn from Anna and freezes over all of Arendelle, Ingrid then erases Elsa's memories of ever meeting her so the two could have a fresh start after Ingrid released Elsa from the urn.

However, before Ingrid could release Elsa, Rumplestiltskin appears and takes the urn from Ingrid and tells Ingrid he will give it back if she gives him the magical hat. Ingrid does not oblige to the Dark One's request and Elsa is stored in Rumple's vault. Years later, Emma Swan and Captain Hook are transported back in time and after correcting their mistakes they are imprisoned in the vault of the Dark One by Rumple who believes the two of them can not return to the future.

Hook attempts to search the vault for a way out and finds the urn that contains Elsa, Emma tells him to put it down which he does. Moments later Emma is able to recover her magic and open a time portal to the future in which Elsa's urn is accidentally sucked into. After Hook and Emma have returned to Storybrooke they leave the area, after they have departed Elsa breaks free from her urn, shatters it with her magic, and proceeds to walk out of the barn hastily creating a trail of frost in her wake.

Though initially frightened by her surroundings, causing great chaos as a result, such as creating a giant snowman that turns wild until it is destroyed by Regina. Elsa manages to retreat the chaos and stumbles upon Anna's necklace in Mr. Gold's Rumplestiltskin shop. Elsa after finding Anna's necklace creates an ice wall the surrounds the entire town. Emma meets Elsa who was hiding behind the wall, and Emma nearly dies due to a cave in but Elsa saves her.

Later that night Emma and Elsa go to the ice wall so Elsa can take it down but for some reason, her magic is unable to melt it. As time passes, Elsa and Emma form a strong friendship, and the other members of the town no longer see Elsa as a threat. Emma and the others decide to join their new companion in the search for her sister.

The group would eventually encounter Ingrid, who uses her magic to keep the ice wall up, though Elsa fails to remember her as her memory was wiped by the Snow Queen to prevent confrontations. Elsa and Captain Hook confront Ingrid after the latter has frozen Maid Marian, but Ingrid tells Elsa everyone fears people with magic and tries to kill Hook to prove to Elsa that the town will turn on her.

Emma is able to stop Ingrid, but she gets away. Later Ingrid creates a false Anna to lure Elsa away from Emma, and she traps her niece. Ingrid needs Elsa out of her way so she can obtain Regina's mirror. Elsa is able to break free from her bonds and stops Ingrid, who was using her magic to choke Emma and Regina.

Elsa tells Ingrid to fight her, but Ingrid again flees. Like before, Ingrid plots to recreate her family and selects Elsa and Emma who also has magical powers as her victims. Convinced that she could only gain their love when she was the only one left, Ingrid obtained a mirror capable of bringing out the worst in people. The mirror was missing one piece, a shard from Regina's mirror, which Ingrid had just stolen. If a piece of the mirror were to get in someone's eye, they would see nothing but hatred in the world.

Ingrid had planned to use this on everyone in Storybrooke dubbed the Spell of Shattered Sight , forcing all of its citizens to turn against one another and battle to the death while she, Emma, and Elsa remained immune. Anna and Elsa sadly watch as their aunt sacrifices herself to undo her curse.

Back in Arendelle, Anna tried to track down a device known as a wishing star, which will have the power to bring her and Kristoff to wherever Elsa is. It was apparently the necklace Elsa had given her long ago, Elsa using it to bring Anna and Kristoff to Storybrooke. Tracking down a note written by Elsa and Anna's mother right before her death, Anna brings it to Ingrid.

It reads that Gerda requests that Ingrid is freed from the urn and states she truly loved her sister and regretted trapping her away. Realizing she always had her sisters' love, Ingrid destroys herself to ensure the curse is lifted. With the help of Rumplestiltskin, Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff are able to discover a door that will lead back to Arendelle, though they will not be able to return, as the door will disappear after its use. Anna and Kristoff depart, while Elsa and Emma share a tearful goodbye before returning to Arendelle with her sister.

Back in their home kingdom, Anna's wedding is underway, and the two sisters share a brief chat before heading to the chapel, hand-in-hand. Sometime after, Arendelle would be under siege again; this time by the pirate Blackbeard. Having learned and mastered some new magic, Elsa managed to defeat him. As punishment for how he mistreated her sister and her brother-in-law, including his collaboration with Hans, Elsa shrinks the pirate and his crew, and turn their ship, the Jolly Roger , into a ship in a bottle, unaware that she also trapped the mermaid Ariel as well.

In the episode " Beauty ", a young girl is seen dressed as Elsa for Halloween. In this continuation of the film, Elsa is featured as the warm ruler of Arendelle, struggling to rekindle with her sister and care for her kingdom, which regularly requests her attention.

This aspect is largely the focus of All Hail the Queen. In Memory and Magic , Elsa encounters a young troll who claims to have the power to restore the memories of Anna that Pabbie erased years ago. However, a reluctant Elsa goes against the idea and chooses to create new memories instead. Elsa plays a more heroic role in A Warm Welcome , where Olaf informs her of a summer queen with power over fire and heat.

But when the snowman also mentions her land is trapped in eternal summer, the Snow Queen and Anna take action and launch a rescue mission. In The Secret Admirer , Elsa receives a message from an anonymous lover, prompting Anna and Olaf to uncover the sender in hopes of pairing Elsa up.

The book hints that Elsa may be romantic, showing that while she's flattered that someone has feelings for her and is curious who they are, she's not as curious as Anna or Olaf, who essentially look through every possible candidate. This suggests she is not necessarily against the idea of being in a relationship, but she puts her kingdom and her sister above all else.

Although more social and in complete control of her powers, Elsa still has slight haphephobia fear of being touched , having slight trouble with a kiss on her hand.

In Return to the Ice Palace , Elsa's relationship with the Snowgies is briefly explored; she treats them very much in the vein of her own toddlers, as she warmly allows them to play along with her dress during her visit to their home, in the ice palace.

Elsa is mentioned in the seventh book Kingdom Keepers VII: The Insider , where she was asked to slow the storm approaching the park that the Overtakers were going to use to ignite natural gas flooding it. In the Twisted Tale novel Conceal, Don't Feel , Elsa grew up with no memory of Anna because she attempted to interfere in the spell to erase Anna's memories of her magic, which resulted in both sisters losing all recollection of each other and Anna being 'cursed' so that she would turn to ice if she spent too long in proximity to Elsa.

However, she also lost all memory of her abilities, living a relatively normal life until the trauma of her parents' deaths caused her to lose her emotional control and trigger her powers. During the next few years, she creates Olaf, who acts as a secret confident for her, and the Duke of Weselton attempts to arrange a relationship between her and Hans by introducing her to Hans under the guise of them being a similar age in a similar position.

However, Elsa genuinely never sees Hans as more than a friend, and shortly before her coronation she regains her memories of Anna after finding a box that was meant to be used to hold Anna's items as she was growing up.

After Hans tries to propose to Elsa, she triggers her powers and ran away as in canon, eventually finding the trolls to confirm what actually happened the night when she struck Anna.

Eventually, Anna who had also found evidence of her relationship to Elsa manages to find Elsa and fully break the spell suppressing their memories, the novel ends with them both reveling in their new relationship. She's revealed to be intelligent, a lover of academics, and has a fondness for tea. Forest of Shadows takes place a few months before the second movie. Elsa needs to go overseas for a few months and leaves Anna to look after Arendelle in her absence. Elsa's departure is halted by an unexpected plague, followed by a Nattmara.

In the end, the Nattmara is defeated. This story also foreshadows the events of the second movie, such as a vision of the earth giants destroying a dam. It also depicts Anna desiring to do more for the people of Arendelle and highlights her insecurities of being the "spare".

In addition to showing Elsa's stress being queen due to her introverted personality. This emphasizes how fulfilled Anna and Elsa become in the sequel, with Anna being crowned Queen and Elsa being free of expectation to be who she is.

Tales of Courage and Kindness takes place after the sequel, this story shows us Elsa's life in the Enchanted Forest and her new role keeping peace between humans and nature as the fifth spirit. She becomes aware that something is wrong in the forest, something that the other spirits sense as well. The source of the disturbance is discovered when they find a couple collecting a large quantity of acorns so they could grow their own forest. The spirits reach aggressively to this but Elsa uses her powers to calm them down to protect the couple before explaining to them how their actions are hurting the forest.

The couple returns the acorns and peace is restored. Elsa is included as a playable character in Disney Infinity and its subsequent 2. She was released both as a singular figure and with her sister Anna in a dual Frozen Toy Box pack with two customization Power Discs. Elsa also has her own exclusive adventure called "Elsa's Slingshot Gallery". The aim is to hit targets with your slingshot to get as many points as you can within a certain time limit.

Yellow targets yield 1 point, while red targets yield 3 points. Elsa first appears shortly after the player arrives in Arendelle alongside Olaf. At the time, Arendelle was being plagued by a legion of mischievous ghosts. With Elsa's magic having no effect on the ghosts, she and Anna visit Grand Pabbie for advice. While in the Valley of the Living Rock, the sisters meet the player and are told of their magic powers.

Elsa then enlists the player in cleansing Arendelle. Afterward, she is found in the castle and regularly gives the player tasks throughout the game. Her power from the medals was channeled by the Book of Prophecies. Sora first spots Elsa fleeing across the fjord as it freezes in her wake. When they catch up to her and introduce themselves, an argument between Sora and Donald pushes Elsa to the point where she uses her powers to silence them, shocking and scaring the trio. Heartless then warp in to attack them, but Sora, Donald, and Goofy fight them off.

After apologizing to the trio and thanking them, Elsa uses her powers to take out a reindeer-like Heartless that tried to pounce on Sora from behind while he was speaking with her. Sora is amazed about her powers, but Elsa admits that she fears her powers only hurt people, and has chosen to run away to the North Mountain, believing Arendelle is safer without her, before blocking Sora from pursuing with an ice wall and asking him to go away.

After that, the game recreates " Let It Go " as Elsa creates her ice palace and dress. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy discover it, they are in awe, before Larxene appears.

Larxene confirms she was dispatched to ensure Elsa becomes one of the new Seven Hearts to succeed the previous Princesses of Heart , and sends the trio flying with a powerful ice storm to keep them from interfering with Elsa's path towards light or darkness. After learning more about Elsa from her sister, Anna, Sora compares Elsa distancing herself to help Anna with Riku sacrificing his freedom to close Kingdom Hearts.

As in the film, Elsa's bittersweet reunion with Anna culminates in Elsa accidentally hitting Anna in her heart with her powers. At that moment, Sora, having arrived at the palace entrance, senses Anna' heart hit and frozen by Elsa's magic. Once they evade Marshmallow, Sora, Donald, and Goofy find Elsa being carried back to Arendelle by Prince Hans, but they notice darkness emanating from him and realize Elsa is in danger, so they give pursuit of him.

After coercing Marshmallow to help them save Elsa, the trio track down a grieving Elsa about to be struck down by Hans on the frozen fjord, only for Anna to jump in to take the blow herself just as the curse completely overtakes her and turns her into solid ice.

However, Anna's sacrifice to save Elsa's constituted an "act of true love", breaking the curse and restoring Anna to flesh and blood. Before Sora, Donald and Goofy can reunite with the royal sisters, they are intercepted by Larxene, who is surprised that Anna's love for Elsa filled both of their hearts with light. She then drops the bombshell on Sora that the Organization has already gathered their thirteen pieces of darkness and departs with a warning that if Sora fails to gather his seven Guardians of Light, the Organization may go after Elsa and Anna instead.

Though Sora is concerned by Larxene's fateful warning, Donald and Goofy encourage him to not give up, especially for Anna and Elsa, as they are strong together because of their love for each other. Soon after, Elsa is able to gain control over her powers and ends Arendelle's winter.

With Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf at her side, Elsa celebrates the return of summer with Sora, Donald, and Goofy, before they set off on their next adventure.

In the game's credits, Elsa is seen generating an ice ramp for Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf to safely land on after they fly off their sled. Anna joins Elsa afterward as Marshmallow arrives, with Olaf having fallen to pieces again, but Olaf soon puts himself back together as Marshmallow smiles, while Anna and Elsa look on in amusement. In the old version of the game, Elsa appears in her Snow Queen outfit in the original movie before the sequel was released, when the sequel was released, the original Elsa outfit was replaced by in the new adventure outfit from Elsa and he is no longer seen around the game and their interactions have completely changed from the original version to the new version.

Elsa appears in Frozen Free Fall both as a child and adult on various levels. Her special ability is her ice magic, known as 'glacier' in the game. In Disney Tsum Tsum , Elsa's special power is to freeze the bottom of the screen, so the player can tap to clear it. In the film's stage adaptation, Elsa's role was originated by actress Caissie Levy and is slightly more developed than the animated counterpart.

The musical puts more emphasis on the internal and external struggles that come with Elsa's powers. The show is also more blatant and direct with the darker themes that make up Elsa's arc, some of which were only hinted at in the animated film.

While visiting the hidden folk during the first act of the show, Elsa begs Pabbie to remove her powers, though he explains that he cannot as her powers are part of her. This leads Elsa to agree with her father that she and Anna be separated, even going as far as to counsel her hesitant mother about the decision.

Despite Agnarr and Iduna's deaths early on, Elsa would occasionally look to them for guidance throughout the show. Elsa takes part in several numbers, though two new solos were written specifically for the Snow Queen as spiritual companion pieces and antithesis for "Let It Go" - the first being " Dangerous to Dream ", in which Elsa mourns the loss of her freedom and happiness at the expense of her powers.

During " Monster ", Elsa laments the tragedy that her powers have brought upon the world, and desperately looks for a way to end her troubles as Hans and his men seize the Ice Palace. She also makes a special appearance in Winter Dreams, the winter-themed rendition of the nighttime spectacular World of Color , and stars in the Frozen: Live at the Hyperion musical. Elsa appears in the Festival of Fantasy Parade. She, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf also take part in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, where she and Anna ride in a horse-drawn carriage accompanied by a small group of guards.

Elsa was also prominently featured as the hostess of Frozen Summer Fun! Sometimes, after the Sing-Along show, she, Anna, Kristoff, and Arendelle's Royal Historians would conduct special meet-and-greet sessions with certain guests. Elsa makes a cameo during the bubble montage scene in Fantasmic! Elsa is also among the final guests featured in Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire , where she encourages an impressionable Minnie Mouse to stay true to herself.

Elsa also appears as an audio-animatronic in Frozen Ever After in Epcot. During the attraction, she performs "Let It Go" in her ice palace, and is later seen dressed in her Frozen Fever attire performing " In Summer " alongside Anna and Olaf. In addition, Elsa currently makes meet-and-greet appearances near the attraction in the Norway Pavilion.

At the Fairytale Hall, the two started conducting their meet-and-greet sessions separately. The two still do individual sessions at the Royal Sommerhus, but they still take the time to interact with each other. In the fall of , Elsa started wearing her white "spirit" dress from Frozen II to promote the movie's release.

Starting with the edition, she and Elsa began meeting and greeting guests. During the winter overlay, she appears in a much larger capacity, with the addition of a Frozen segment. She also appears in Mickey's Magical Music World when her signature song plays out. Elsa's likeness can be found on the Frozen mosaic mural inside the Enchanted Storybook Castle.

If you don't have a younger sibling, you can play this role with a younger cousin, a smaller friend, or even a pet. Behave in a regal manner. Remember that Elsa typically acts like the proper queen that she is. In contrast to her younger sister, Elsa displays a lot of grace and poise. Try your best to always be respectful of others and to follow proper etiquette. A major part of being regal is showing people respect.

Be humble and show gratitude to others. Never pick petty fights. Practice good posture. Keep your back straight and never slouch. Always keep your shoulders back and your chin up. Hold your head high. A good way to help you maintain good posture is to pretend to carry an item on your head without letting it fall off. A classic way to practice at home is to walk with a book balanced on top of your head.

Act relatively reserved. Because Elsa had to hide her magical powers for most of her life, she is used to concealing who she is and how she feels. While you should never be afraid to show people your true self, you can be like Elsa by being occasionally quiet and secretive.

Remember that by the end of the film, Elsa begins to find a happy medium between being completely detached and overwhelmed by her emotions. Be more independent. Because of her powers, Elsa spent most of her life in isolation and as a result is independent to a fault.

Don't go to this extreme, but if you want to be like Elsa, you should try to be more independent. Learn how to take care of yourself and value time spent alone. Learn to create your own fun without the necessity of others. Perhaps take up a solitary hobby like art to occupy your time. Instead of only reading books assigned to you at school, check some out from your library. Explore new ideas on your own. Be creative! Get a job if you're old enough. Having your own source of income will let you take care of more things, like buying food and clothing, without help [5] X Research source If you're too young to work, ask your parents about volunteering.

You can develop your independence while helping others. Avoid acting out negative emotions. Always be mindful of how you treat others, especially your loved ones. While you should be in touch with your emotions, anger is never an excuse to hurt anyone. The major conflict in Frozen is caused by Elsa letting her emotions overwhelm her and accidentally hurting her sister with her powers. No matter how angry someone makes you feel, never lash out with violence or hurtful words.

When you start to feel angry or frustrated, try one or more tricks to calm yourself down: The best way to combat anger is through mindfulness. When you feel yourself start to get upset, try to pause and count to ten. Think about why you're getting angry and whether there's a more positive way to react to the situation. Talk to a friend or an adult about your feelings. Explaining your emotions to another person will help to diffuse them. Distract yourself to keep from dwelling on whatever is making you upset.

You can listen to music, watch TV, read a book, or engage in your favourite hobby. A positive way to diffuse all that energy that gets pent-up when you're angry is to exercise. Going for a run is a great way to improve your mood. Be sincere and try to make things right. Elsa and Anna know that being together and sharing experiences are wonderful things, and learning about others' differences is important, too.

Try interpreting these values into your acting as Elsa. Work on developing a good singing voice. A major part of Elsa's popularity as a character comes from her powerful singing throughout the film. Her solo song "Let It Go" has been an especially big hit and actually made the creators of Frozen decide to change Elsa from a villain to a flawed hero.

In Frozen Fever, she sings 'Making Today a Perfect Day', which isn't as powerful and moving as "Let It Go", yet it is still a fun and cheerful song to sing as Elsa, showing her more lively side. Have a listen to it- maybe you could learn how to sing it before Frozen II is out! The song is not as iconic as 'Let It Go', but the tune is more intricate. Value special events and traditions of your family.
