==History==
{{Before First Curse|nohide|
In [[Arendelle]], as [[Anna]]'s wedding is planned, Sven is tended to by her fiancé as well as his owner, [[Kristoff]], in the stables. Anna's sister [[Elsa]] bursts in to question Kristoff about Anna's whereabouts. After bluffly badly, Kristoff admits Anna booked a trip to [[Enchanted Forest|Misthaven]] in order to uncover the secret of what she and Elsa's parents were headed on the voyage that took their lives. {{Ep|A Tale of Two Sisters}}

When Elsa receives word that [[Hans|Prince Hans]] and [[Hans' Brothers|his brothers]] are forming an army to invade Arendelle, Kristoff offers to sneak into their camp and eavesdrop, but she wants to handle the situation herself. Rebelling against her decision, Kristoff travels to the [[Southern Mountains]] with Sven to find out what Hans is up to. On the way there, Sven communicates, in a series of grunts, expressing disapproval at his owner's choice. Kristoff owns up to his actions but promises that Elsa will be glad he didn't listen to her. Leaving Sven in the woods, Kristoff then sneaks closer to the camp where he overhears the princes' plans of imprisoning Elsa in an [[Magic Urn|urn]] so Hans can rule Arendelle as its new king. {{Ep|Rocky Road}} 

Yearning to see Anna again, an unhappy Sven refuses his favorite treat, carrots, when Kristoff offers him some. Exasperated, Kristoff comments out loud that he can't figure out what's wrong with him. At the stable's doorway, Anna, after arriving home, suggests that perhaps Sven missed her. In utter joy, Kristoff reunites with Anna. As the couple kiss, Sven begins making smooching noises, which Anna finds funny while Kristoff tells him to stop. Sven then hides his head to give the two of them some privacy. Kristoff tells Anna that he took a bath this morning, and she remarks that he smells wonderful, whereupon Sven starts sniffing the air. {{Ep2|The Apprentice (Episode)|The Apprentice}} }}
{{After Fourth Curse|nohide|
Although [[Arendelle]] was destroyed by the [[Black Fairy]]'s [[Dark Curse]], it is reformed after [[Emma Swan]], the [[Saviors|Savior]], wins the [[Final Battle]]. Sven is peacefully returned to his stable. {{Ep|The Final Battle Part 1|The Final Battle Part 2}} }}

===Production Notes===
*During the editing of "[[A Tale of Two Sisters]]," [[imdb:nm0325845|Mark Goldman]], the editor of ''[[Once Upon a Time]]'', used sounds he made himself as a temporary voice for Sven. They tried to use real sound effects and reindeer sounds instead, but they were never as good or funny, so the editor's voice was kept, and he ended up voicing Sven for the rest of the [[Season Four|season]].<ref>[[Adam Horowitz]] on the [[Season Four]] [[Once Upon a Time: The Complete Fourth Season|Blu-ray]] Audio Commentary for "[[A Tale of Two Sisters]]"</ref>
