If OUaT wants Elsa to be misunderstood, then they need something better than her searching for her sister. There needs to be a legitimate reason, why everyone in Storybrooke will perceive her as a villain. Elsa's backstory should be a darker, and more tragic version of the film.... i.e.: she accidentally killed her sister, with her powers. Could be the same reason everyone thought Tiny was a villain... rumor and fear of the unkown, especially fear of a powerful unknown. I thought that had something to do with the fact that Tiny was smashing up the town, trying to kill Charming?? That being said, they did forgive him awful fast for that :/

But yes, fear of the unknown is very powerful, maybe even powerful enough to get her locked up by someone - my money's on either the Blue Fairy or Rumpelstiltskin. Perhaps she was on the verge of icing the entire EF?? Well Rumple mentioned that the things in his vault were for the dangerous and unstable magic. My guess is that, like in the movie, she freezes Arendelle and was unable to control her ability.
