Elsa soon found herself on the North Mountain. Initially, she brooded over her loneliness and her failure to conceal her powers, but upon realizing that she was too far away to hurt anyone, Elsa began to experiment with her powers, embracing the aspect of her that she had tried to hide for so long.Lee, Jennifer (2013).

Using her magic, Elsa crafted several figurines of herself and Anna atop an ice cream cake, ultimately settling on a design in which they were skating. Politely smiling at Kristoff and Sven's contribution, a large banner, Elsa went to wipe paint from the ice harvester's face, though her attention was directed at Olaf as he was helping himself to some cake.

Three years had passed since Elsa revealed her powers, and the now twenty-four-year-old Elsa had settled into her position as Arendelle's reigning monarch. Despite this, Elsa was not content with her place, in spite of her companionship with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven, and the acceptance from her subjects. As fall approached Arendelle, Elsa was faced with many questions about who and what she really is, and wondered if her purpose is really meant to be ruling Arendelle. Meanwhile, a strange voice that only Elsa could hear kept calling to her.

Elsa (born December 21 [5], 1819 [6]) is the daughter of Agnarr and Iduna, the older sister of Anna and the former queen of Arendelle. She was born with the powers to manipulate ice and snow and, as a child, used them to entertain her sister. However, after Elsa accidentally hurt Anna with her powers and Anna's memories had to be erased, she grew afraid of her powers and was unable to appropriately control them. She lived in fear of hurting anyone with her powers, and spent much of her formative years shut out from the world. Although it pained her greatly to do so, Elsa also found it necessary to distance herself from her family so there would be no risk of causing further harm. Milligan, Mercedes (July 19, 2019).
