{{Q|Arendelle is safer with me staying up here.|Elsa to [[Sora]]}}

'''Elsa''' is the queen of [[Arendelle]] who appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', and originally from the Disney film ''{{w|Frozen (2013 film)|Frozen}}''. She is the older sister of [[Anna]], both of whom are members of the [[New Seven Hearts]].

When Elsa was a child, she used to remain close to her younger sister Anna, but one day, she shut her off for an unknown reason.

Upon arriving in Arendelle, [[Sora]] notices Elsa fleeing across the bay, transforming the water into ice as she runs feeling scared. Curious if something happened to her, Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] go after her to the [[North Mountain]] and speak with her. When they meet, Elsa hesitantly asks who are they, to which the trio introduces themselves. Elsa tells the trio to return to the village and needs to be left alone. Feeling concerned, Sora tries to ask her about her troubles, resulting in Elsa unleashing her magic at the trio, much to their shock. Eventually, this attracted the [[Heartless]], leading to the trio to take care of them while she seeks cover.  

After defeating the Heartless, Elsa thanks them for protecting her and apologizes for getting upset. When a [[Winterhorn]] prepares to attack the trio from behind, Elsa uses her magic to destroy it. Sora is impressed by her ice powers, but Elsa believes that her magic only hurts people. Sora then tells Elsa to return home before more Heartless show up, but she tells him she plans to isolate herself in the mountain to keep Arendelle safe from her and creates a wall of ice to prevent Sora, Donald, and Goofy from following her.

Later, the group sees Elsa sing "[[Let It Go]]", a song about casting off her inhibitions, as she brings [[Olaf]] to life and creates an ice palace for herself. Anna visits her, informing her of Arendelle's condition, hoping that Elsa can unfreeze Arendelle's eternal winter. Elsa becomes frustrated and emotional as she does not know how to thaw the town, resulting in Elsa accidentally cursing Anna with an icicle. Elsa's bodyguard [[Marshmallow]] then throws Anna out of the palace. Elsa is later knocked unconscious somehow and abducted by [[Hans]], who tries to return her to Arendelle.

While on the frozen lake, Hans tries to murder Elsa in front of Anna, but Anna blocks his way and freezes in place. Elsa weeps, thinking her sister is dead, but it turns out that this was an act of true love, saving Anna. Elsa realizes that the power of love has the power to thaw, and as a result, her feelings of love stops the eternal winter and saves Arendelle.

==Design==

Elsa is much more mature, reserved, and introverted compared to Anna.

 

She has poor self-esteem, desiring to be left alone because she views her ice powers as a danger to Anna and society. Sora posits that this is her way of caring for and protecting people, comparing her to [[Riku]]. However, when she realizes that love is the answer to thawing her ice, she begins to open up to Anna and everyone else.

 

 

Elsa is born with powerful ice magic, which she can use to create snow, ice, create anthropomorphic creatures as well as fight Heartless. In addition, she is one of the [[New Seven Hearts]]; the new generation of [[Princesses of Heart]] after the lights in the previous princesses moved on to new hosts.

In ''Frozen'', Elsa and Anna were orphaned at a young age when their parents King Agnarr and Queen Iduna died in a seastorm. Elsa was born with the power to control ice and snow, although it is never explained why. Due to her powers, Elsa developed shame and guilt after almost killing Anna in their childhood. Years later, on the day of her coronation as queen, Elsa accidentally reveals her powers and flees Arendelle in fear after being called a witch. While fleeing, Elsa accidentally puts Arendelle in an increasingly dangerous snowstorm. She builds a castle with her powers, creating Olaf in the process. Anna takes it upon herself to locate her sister and find a way to save Arendelle.
