Character Notes

 * Gerda's message in a bottle is written in Elder Futhark runes. It says:

Dearest darling daughters, you need to know the truth about why we went to this voyage. It wasn't what we told you. I wish we could be telling you in person but alas that does not appear possible. Elsa, Anna, time is running out. I do not know if your father and I will ever get back to you but I need you to know we were so wrong. We were wrong to tell Elsa to conceal her powers. You must know this. I feel terrible. This happened before and I cannot let it happen again. Years ago I made the same mistake with my sister Ingrid. She like you had ice powers. I never told you about my sisters Helga and Ingrid. They were beautiful and kind and Ingrid they they were beautiful [sic] and kind and wonderful and I[sic] was fearful and I let that fear guide me. I made the mistake of letting Ingrid hide when we should have celebrated her for how she was. I loved her so much.

In this crystal are the memory of my sisters which I stole from the people of Arendelle. Please return them. My sisters deserve to be known. In a

cave in the north valley, you will find an urn that contains my sister Ingrid. Please do what I should have done years ago and release her. She deserves to be remembered and more importantly like you, Elsa and Anna, she deserves to be loved.

When you see her, please tell her I love her and that I am sorry. Tell her I would give anything to take back what I did, to hold hands with her just one more time. All my love, mama.
