I am willing to give 'Elsa'/TSQ a chance. First, I watch OUaT because I find it personally entertaining. And there are possibilities available that would hold that entertainment value.

Now, considering Elsa, let's consider the following:

1. We don't know if she is going to be the Big Bad, A good guy, or somthing in between. That part of the story has not been revealed yet.

2. Regardless of which way her character is, She was locked in Rumples vault, meaning she is powerful and unpredictable, enough for Rumple to lock her up. And given that she non-chalantly (sp?) destroyed the urn gives me a sense that she is going to seek out Rumple and deal with that.

3. She fits the general model of OUaT women (Strong, independent, BA). If they build her story up and give her some real emotional depth (preferabbly without shipping her with someone), she could be a really awesome character.

Let's face it. Some of the characters were introduced looking similar to their Disney (or other pop culture) counterparts (Snow, Belle, Ariel, Charming, Zelena, Pan), and that has the advantage of being able to quickly identify that character. It's where the go with the character from that point that defines the character in terms of the OUaT realm.
