Trivia

 * The ABC series’ describes her as, "The Queen of Arendelle, this late-20s/early-30s beauty long struggled to control her “chilling” powers and even unleashed upon her town an eternal winter during her coronation. Ultimately, she realized that the key to controlling her powers is love — namely, her bond with sister Anna — and now she is aware of the threat she poses if she were to lose control of her magic again".
 * The name "Elsa" is a short form of the name "Elisabeth", the German and Dutch form of the Biblical name "Elizabeth", itself derived from the name "Elisabet", the Greek form of the Hebrew name "Elisheva", which means "my God is an oath" or perhaps "my God is abundance".
