In the film, Elsa is the eldest daughter of the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Arendelle, a kingdom located in southern Norway. But Elsa was born with strange powers enabling it to create and control the ice. But one night, while she was enjoying herself, Elsa accidentally injures her little sister, Anna, with its powers, and it was only through the intervention of trolls, shamanic creatures, that Anna could be saved. Elsa learns that in growing, her powers will be strengthened, and can be of great beauty, but also become a danger to all. The king decides to isolate Elsa from the rest of the world, and for years, she grew up alone, but her powers becoming more powerful, Elsa must resign herself to wear gloves, but even this becomes insufficient and gradually Elsa locks herself in paranoia to hurt someone with her powers. At the funeral of her parents, died in a shipwreck, Elsa will not be present, preferring to stay in her room and wailing.
Being the eldest of the heirs, Elsa is crowned Queen of Arendelle, and a grand ball is in place. But things turn against it when with a dispute with Anna, Elsa, under the anger, unwittingly unleashes her power to the eyes of everyone, and nearly injuring several people. Panicked and seeing people looking her like a monster, Elsa decides to run away to the mountains and takes the decision to live away from everything, forever, in an ice castle she created herself. But she does not know and that her sister will learn to Elsa that, unwittingly, Elsa plunged the entire kingdom in a eternal winter. Refusing to see reality in the face, Elsa rages again and accidentally injures Anna again, but this time in the heart. And things get worse when soldiers led by Prince Hans arrived, and among them are two killers sent by the Duke to kill Elsa. Elsa defends herself with her powers and is about to kill the two men of the Duke, but with the intervention of Hans, Elsa is brought alive but unconscious, in Arendelle, where she is chained in a dungeon, from where to she can see the damage she has caused to her own people, and the powers do nothing but unleash increasingly, causing a terrible snowstorm. Elsa manages to break her chains and wants to run away again, but Hans finds her and tells her that Anna is dead because of her, which is obviously false. Elsa collapses into tears and Hans is about to kill her, but seeing her sister in danger and at the edge of death, Anna sacrifices herself and turns into ice statue, breaking the sword of Hans on her hand. Seeing her sister frozen for eternity, Elsa bursts into tears and with this sincere gesture of love, makes her little sister come back to life.
Why Elsa has become one of my favorite female characters in the Disney universe? It is largely thanks to her character in itself. Elsa is a dramatic character, tortured, because she is different from others, she knows it, and she is haunted by the fact that this difference could show her to the others as a threat, even if it is explained that her power can make also good than evil, as it depends in what mental state is Elsa. She is not a poor little princess in distress, she is a woman lost in a world where she believes to be a danger. Moreover, Elsa can show herself sweet and kind as she can be harsh, distant and angry, she does not hesitate to fight and use her powers to attack and defend herself against those who want to harm her. I always liked the dramatic characters, and Elsa is very interesting in this case. Some say that Elsa is the villain of the movie, but I really can not be agree, because even if all that happens is partly because of her, she has no bad intention and does not have made it voluntarily, although in the book that inspired the film, Elsa is evil, but for the kids, I believe that Disney changed some things. Elsa is one of the most complex characters I've seen in Disney, and I hope that in the sequels, we will learn the origins of her power, because it's a small criticism that I do in the film (although I liked it), is the fact that the origin of the powers of Elsa is not explained. Why she would be the only one with this power? I have a theory, rather sad, but for my part, I am tempted to say that Elsa is in fact a girl abandoned at birth and adopted by the King and Queen of Arendelle, who raised her as their own child, and never tell her the truth, for not hurt her. This is only a theory, but the idea does not seem impossible to me, and this would make the Elsa's story even more interesting and dramatic.
For all this, Elsa deserves its place in the greatest Disney characters, but also in the list of the most iconic heroes, all combined franchise.
