Character Name: Queen Elsa of Arendelle Series: Frozen Timeline: Post-movie Canon Resource Links:Here @ Disney Wikia
Personality: To put it somewhat lightly, Elsa is a troubled young woman with the weight of her whole world on her shoulders, and she doesn't want anyone to know.
From a young age (even the tender age of three, if the cut song "We Know Better" is to be believed) Elsa knew that she had some pretty big expectations to live up to. She was the eldest daughter of the King of Arendelle, and as such, was raised to be a leader. She was pretty okay with that! Elsa embraced her role as the crown princess of her kingdom, because she knew her sister would always be there to help her out. Knowing that she had a friend that would always have her back kept Elsa from dreading her title, turning it into something to look forward to instead. Her bond with Anna, one of the main driving forces of the movie, was unbreakable from the moment Anna was born, and despite everything that happened in the few days after Elsa's coronation, it still remains strong. Anna is the person that Elsa loves above all else, her only remaining family, and she's willing to exile herself if it meant that she could protect her little sister from herself.
... And that's where things get complicated. Elsa was a normal, well-adjusted girl, up until she was eight years old. One night, when she and Anna were playing with the assistance of Elsa's magical powers, Elsa accidentally struck her younger sister in the head. This nearly killed Anna, and left deep, traumatizing scars on Elsa's heart. From then on, the power she and her sister had both loved so much became a burden, a curse, and a strong fear of herself was imbedded inside of Elsa. This fear continued to grow and fester, and due to Elsa's insistance in being alone, nobody ever really helped her get over it. The fact that even her parents seemed to view her powers as a curse certainly didn't help Elsa's own personal views. So she should have worked on it herself. But Elsa (thanks to the the teachings of her parents) wanted to hide her powers, not conquer her fear of them, and so when it was discovered that her powers were intertwined with her emotions, she began to repress said emotions. "Conceal, don't feel", her father taught her.
Predictably, growing up in an environment of self-imposed isolation, in a constant state of emotional repression, all while still learning to lead a country of countless citizens had a severe impact on Elsa's emotional state. She grew up to be a nervous young woman, afraid of crowds and and people getting too close to her (both physically and emotionally), and was constantly worrying over her powers being revealed to the public eye. At this point in her life, it wouldn't be impossible to assume that she feared the fallout more than the power itself. But the thing is... she may hide those emotions under a mask, but contrary to her magic's chilly element, she doesn't project an air of cold indifference. She's still a fairly calm, friendly, level-headed person on the outside. Even after losing contact with her sister for thirteen years, she doesn't hesitate to strike up a conversation with her during the coronation ball, and even seems to enjoy teasing her. It didn't last long, but the party showed that Elsa is capable of keeping herself in check when she's really not thinking about it.
And despite the damage and trouble the fallout of the public becoming aware of her power, it also did some good. It freed Elsa of much of the fear she held towards her powers, at least for the most part. Running away from Arendelle, away from the prying eyes of the people and all the expectations put upon her, truly gave Elsa the time she needed to shine, to embrace herself and truly feel good about herself for the first time in thirteen years. Elsa embraced her newfound confidence, and in this somewhat new state of mind, a much more happier Elsa could be seen. She sings and dances, plays with her powers like she did when she was a child, and generally acts much more like a young woman than the guarded queen she forced herself to be for so long.
There was a temporary setback to this change of heart when Anna and later Prince Hans attempted (the latter succeeding) to take her back to the castle, and she very nearly lost herself to despair when she was led to believe that she had killed her precious sister... but things, as they often do in fairy tales, ended on a happy note. Elsa was able to embrace not just herself, but her sister's love for her, and was able to grow stronger from it, eventually opening up a bit more to everyone.
It'll likely be a long road before she can completely move past her nervousness and anxiety, but it's a very good start.
Strengths/Weaknesses: + As a queen, Elsa is very good at managing a kingdom and its relationships with others. She's very good at problem solving and diplomacy. + One hell of a poker face. Until Anna started taking their conversations into dangerous territory, you'd never guess that Elsa was fiercely dreading her coronation ball. + Her intellect. Elsa is a very book-smart person. Canon material has said that the subject Elsa excelled at most when she was being tutored was geometry, and she has to have had a decent knowledge of architecture to do what she did with her ice palace.
- Very, very low self-esteem. Elsa has very little faith in her powers and her ability to control said powers, and this fear is one of the contributing factors to the incident at the coronation ball. She's gotten a bit better after the events of the movie, but low self-esteem can't really be cured that quickly. - A pretty bad fear of failure. Elsa fiercely looked up to her father and wants to do her best to carry on his legacy, and one recurring line in her songs is "be the good girl you always have to be". Elsa wants to be perfect, but thanks to the above mentioned self-esteem issues, isn't very confident that she can be perfect. - Social anxiety. Or just.... anxiety in general, thanks to the above mentioned weaknesses. Even with her newfound happiness and openness with her powers, Elsa's a very nervous young woman. - Super Sheltered. Seriously. She spent most of her life confined to a castle, and most of that time hiding out in her room. She knows very little of how to survive in the "outside world", so to speak, so.... this will be a pretty interesting adventure, actually.

Samples First Person Sample: [When the 'gear flicks on for this video, the camera seems to be pointing at.... the ground. The ground, and a black-shoed foot. The camera shakes for a minute, and the voice of a young woman can be heard speaking.]
Is this strange device really meant to be used to communicate with others...? But how...
[It's then that a somewhat worried-looking Snorunt comes into view, its little arms raised. Whoever-it-was pauses before giving the device over to the creature. The camera then spins, and focuses on the owner of the voice; a pale, fair-haired young woman dressed in typical trainer clothes, looking very confused.]
I'm just not sure how I'm meant to-- [She's cut off by the Snorunt, who makes a few noises before moving closer and holding the pokegear up, getting a better view of the girl in the process. She sighs.] Okay... fine.
[She clears her throat and stands up straight, a rather regal-seeming posture for someone dressed in such casual clothes.] My name is Queen Elsa of Arendelle, and I'm afraid I've been kidnapped. I've been told that no, I really haven't been kidnapped, but... I can't exactly believe that, can I?
[Her brows furrow, then, and her shoulders seem to scrunch up a bit in a show of nervousness.] I need help. Information. If I can at least be told where exactly this "Johto" is, how far away I am from Arendelle... I would very much appreciate it. [She begins to wring her hands together, now clearly showing signs of someone who's deeply unsettled.] If there's any way at all to contact those back home... please... I need to know. My staff, my... my sister... they must be so worried....
[Her hands are now clenching each other tightly as she tries to calm herself, but it doesn't seem to be of any use. So, rather quickly, she approaches the Snorunt, taking the gear out of its hands and fumbling once more with it.] A-As I said, any help would be greatly appreciated. But for now, I'm afraid I must end this conversation. G-Goodbye.
[Can't let them see, can't let them see--]
[Thankfully, she finds the right button to hit, and the screen goes dark.]
Third Person Sample: "So... people tell me that you're very intelligent."
"Snorunt."
"And you can understand me?"
"Runt!"
"But you can only say your name, and variations thereof."
"Snoru-runt."
Elsa sighed, rubbing her temples. This was absurd... she was talking to an animal. A very intelligent animal, one who she couldn't deny understood everything she and anyone else said, but still... this bizarre little creature sitting in front of her was still an animal. She felt ridiculous. Borderline crazy, even.
She didn't know how Kristoff could do this all the time with Sven.
At least the people of this land didn't see anything odd about it. Everyone she's met so far, from the people who were brought here like her to the residents who have lived here all their lives, treat these "Pokemon" more like friends or members of their family than pets or simple animals. They don't find anything strange at all about these creatures wielding the forces of nature with such precision that it almost frightened Elsa -the mighty Snow Queen - at times.
It... warmed her heart, in some strange way. To see people so readily accept something so supernatural, even if it was normal for the natives to see things like this every day. Elsa had grown in a world that feared magic (or so her father always told her) and so she felt... at ease, in a way, that so many people didn't have a problem with something that looks so similar to magic.
... Of course, she was a little less at ease with the whole situation, considering her little companion had a bit of a mischievous streak when it wasn't being so shy. A mischievous streak that extended to dumping a pile of snow on its unsuspecting trainer when she became too lost in her thoughts. And poor, poor Elsa, whose powers were gone and who was now affected by the weather just like normal people, was not expecting the icy blast, and let out a loud shriek.
"Y-You little stinker! Get back here!"
"Snorunt!!"
... Oh, what her people would think, to see their kind and calm queen chasing after this strange little creature in such an undignified way...
