Queen Elsa of Arendelle is the deuteragonist in Disney's Frozen. She is voiced by Broadway actress Idina Menzel and without the character of Elsa, Frozen would be incredibly different. Elsa is the older sister of princess Anna, and unlike her younger sister, she has magical powers that let her control ice and snow. At first, this is not a problem, but after she accidentally hurts her sister with her magic, she is forced to hide it and isolate herself. After her parents' death, Elsa was next in line to be queen of Arendelle. However, during her coronation party, a dispute between her and her sister causes her to accidentally reveal her powers to the entire kingdom of Arendelle, including her sister whose memories of magic had been wiped out by a troll when she was a little girl. Elsa panics and flees to the mountains, causing a big storm and subsequently, an eternal winter. She builds herself an ice castle and isloates herself, happy that she can be free and not hurt anyone. This is how she became known as The Snow Queen. Elsa's Official Disney Bio: From the outside, Elsa looks poised, regal and reserved, but in reality, she lives in fear as she wrestles with a mighty secret—she was born with the power to create ice and snow. It's a beautiful ability, but also extremely dangerous. Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her younger sister Anna, Elsa has isolated herself, spending every waking minute trying to suppress her growing powers. Her mounting emotions trigger the magic, accidentally setting off an eternal winter that she can't stop. She fears she's becoming a monster and that no one, not even her sister, can help her.
Along with her sister Anna, Elsa is set to become the 13th official member of the Disney Princess line-up. So what did you think of the character of Elsa? Is she your favourite? What do you like or dislike about her? Can you relate to her at all? Favourite quotes? Share, share, share!

(Haha. Elsa created a thread about herself. xD Just kidding.)
I love the character of Elsa. I watched clips with her in them before I watched the movie, and I saw everything she had to go through, etc. and she instantly became my favorite character. I like almost everything about her (esp. her ice palace and ice dress). I think the only think I don't like about her is her fear of everyone. I mean, I know why she did it, but like during her coronation, she was shaking out of fear, which caused the two objects she was holding to start being covered in ice. That was the only part I didn't like her at. As for relating to her, I'll have to think about that one. And one of my favorite quotes from her is the following (it shows so much emotion): "How? What power do you have to stop this winter? To stop me?" A sad quote, but it shows a lot of emotion within it.....

I adore her character. I think she and Anna have been the most different Disney princesses yet. I love that she only felt free when she could let go of controlling her powers. I can relate to her with having to hide something all the time and the constant fear of people knowing, and Let It Go touched me personally I guess.
There is nothing I can really think of that I didn't like about her. I'll probably find more criticisms the more times I watch it.

The thing I love most about Elsa is that she struggled with problems a lot of people deal with today, such as depression and anxiety. QueenElsa, in response to her coronation, I feel that she was worried about letting her secret slip out, simply because the practices from earlier showed that she would ultimately fail. At that time and place, she would've been accused of Witchcraft and most likely hung or jailed, as horrible as that sounds. Practically, she was dealing with bouts of anxiety. Which, btw, while Anna and Kristoff where with the trolls, she was in her palace, watching as spikes of ice grew from the walls. This, in a way, symbolised the fear that grew within her as she anxiously thought of the harm she had done to Anna.
Enough rambling there from me. I feel Elsa is a very well rounded character and I think that reuniting with Anna will be an interesting experience. I love her to death ;^;

I LOVE Elsa. I relate to her a lot with her anxieties about things and how she tries her best to keep a calm, regal air about her. It's so wonderful when she finally learns that she can truly be who she is and not have to be afraid of hiding. And despite Anna thinking Elsa never cared for her since she shut her out, I love how most of Elsa's goal is to protect not just Arendelle, but her sister. My favourite is when Anna is trying to convince her to come back home and she disagrees, everything being mainly centered on how she just wants Anna to be safe and happy and her being in the ice castle is something that could be dangerous.
I mean, think of Anna's white strand. How torn with guilt must Elsa have felt everytime she looked at it, knowing she did that? (although it was only accidental, that wouldn't be the point to Elsa.)

There are a couple of things I wonder about.
In some of the deleted songs, Anna makes references to Elsa's natural intelligence and her athletic ability.
Now granted, being smart is probably to be expected, but competing in athletic competions? Is that something an aspiring Queen normally does?
I've now got a mental image of Elsa doing a marathon run, the 100 yard dash and various other sports.
