The Disney adaptation expanded the Snow Queen to serve as a villain initially, but the advent of ' Let It Go' inspired the filmmakers to rewrite the character as a tragic heroine. Though pivotal to its events, the character had little presence in the original story. She thereby abdicates the throne, allowing Anna to rise as the new queen of Arendelle.Įlsa is loosely based on the titular character of ' The Snow Queen', a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.

Three years into her reign, Elsa is called forth to Ahtohallan to assume her rightful place as the Fifth Spirit of the Enchanted Forest, whose purpose is to bridge the magic of nature and people. Through Anna's love, however, Elsa was able to control her powers and live peacefully amongst her people with a newfound self-confidence. Elsa's anxieties would eventually trigger a curse that plunged Arendelle into an eternal winter. Therefore, she isolated herself from the world as a means of protecting her family and kingdom. Throughout most of her young life, Elsa feared that her powers were monstrous.
