Threadhopping; Yes! No need to ask!
Backtagging; Strongly encouraged!
Fourthwalling; Go for it. Elsa will probably just quietly ponder if your character is crazy.
Squicky subjects; There isn't a single thing that I can think of that will squick me. When I do think of something, it'll go here, but as far as I am concerned I am open to anything now.

Hugging; Sure! Though Elsa isn't very likely to reciprocate in most cases, but she will be very polite about prying your character off it.
Flirting; Again, she isn't likely to reciprocate, but your character is welcome to try!
Giving this character a kiss; I imagine that kisses to the hand or cheek are probably customary to Arendelle. However, if it is more than that, she is likely to politely shut it down.
(Something more intimate? Sex?) ... if your character can get that far with her, they probably deserve it. HOWEVER, it is important to keep in mind that sex and intimacy are usually very high-pressure situations and are usually pretty emotional, so the likelihood that her magic could go haywire is very high. If she thinks she's about to lose control over it, she's likely to shut everything down in an instant. IN OTHER WORDS: prepare for a lot of ice-magic cock-blocking if this becomes even remotely possible. That said, both inside and outside the game-setting, I'm willing to thread sex with her!
(Relationships?) GOOD LUCK. This is another one of those things where if your character can get this far with her, then they deserve it. She doesn't give relationships much thought, doesn't really think they are for her, but it isn't impossible with the right development. I'd like to make this a natural progression, though, so this will require a lot of plotting.

Punching, physical violence; WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO? And anyway, Elsa might look meek, but the girl can pack one hell of a cold punch. With spikes.
(Injury?) Again. Why? (No, go for it.)
(Death?) Death scenes are hella fun to write, and I am not opposed to finding ways to write them. So yes.

Telepathy/Mind-Reading; This could be interesting. Let's Do The Thing. Just let me know ahead of time so I know when the Thing Can Be Done.
Mind Control; See: above. Again, this could be interesting, and I'll probably be game for it provided there's plotting ahead of time.

Other; If it's not obvious by now, I'm pretty easy to get along with and am open to just about anything. But, if you still feel like you need to ask me about something, you can let me know here, or PM me at timings

IC Information

Name: Elsa
Canon: Frozen
Gender: Female
Age: 18. While for the majority of Frozen, Elsa is 21, I would like to take her from the point in time in which she learned of her parents' death.
History: Elsa of Arendelle; the Snow Queen
Personality:

On her surface, Elsa is the picture of calm and elegance. She is the eldest daughter of the King and Queen of Arendelle, and the heir to the throne, who always carries herself with a certain amount of reserve and poise. She is extremely rational (shown when she tells her sister, "You can't marry a man you just met.") and pragmatic. Beneath that surface, however, she holds a beautiful and terrible secret: she has an ancient ability to control ice, and it is an ability that she has rather superfluous control over.

As a child, Elsa was playful and happy. She embraced her magic, sometimes using it to play with her younger sister, Anna. However, after an accident that had nearly cost Anna her life, both Elsa and her parents came to fear this magic. As a result, the King and Queen's staff was cut down and most of Elsa's contact with other people was shut off. The castle doors closed, and Elsa spent the next thirteen years of her life in isolation for the perceived (and later, self-perceived) protection of everyone else, including Elsa.

That said, Elsa is a bit of a recluse, and can oftentimes come off as cold and aloof. Obviously, this is not by choice, but rather by what she perceives as necessity. Otherwise, she is really quite sensitive to others' emotions and needs and she will oftentimes sacrifice her own emotions and needs for them. Paradoxically, for as much as there is a coldness to her, there is an equal sort of fire about her as well: even when she is incredibly unsure about herself, she will still set aside her discomfort and push forward for the sake of others. Her determination to get through her coronation is a good example of this; as much as she was reluctant to open the castle doors and let people inside, and as nervous as she was throughout the whole coronation ceremony, she still went through with it. (To disastrous consequence, but that is neither here nor there.) Elsa is extremely motivated by what she thinks is better for other people -- especially her people, her sister, and the people of Arendelle -- even if it means giving up her own happiness in the end. She will not always like the decision she has to make, but she will always make the decision to do what she thinks is best for everyone else.

As mature and collected as she wants to appear, however, she is not immune to moments of girlishness, as evidenced during her coronation when taking a moment with Anna to comment on how delicious the chocolate had smelled, or how she uses her ice magic to change her style of dress. It appears that no amount of self-imposed isolation is enough to really erase the playful side she has; the personal flurry to keep Olaf the Talking Snowman (who likes warm hugs) from melting in the summertime is also proof of that.

While it would take a lot of in-game development, considering the chosen canonpoint for her, it is important to note that underneath all of the poise masking the uncertainty is a young woman with quite a free spirit when she isn't tied down by her own fears and insecurities. As reserved as she is, she appears to enjoy some thrill-seeking activities; she isn't hesitant to climb a mountain by herself, or go "ice-skating" once she thaws Arendelle's eternal winter.

Elsa is quite the multi-faceted young woman. She is poised and elegant, held back by fear and insecurity, but at her heart she is selfless and free-spirited, and a born leader.

Powers/Abilities:

Elsa has complete control over (cold) temperature, snow, and ice. This can be something as simple as causing a few snow flurries, to causing widespread blizzarding conditions in the middle of summertime, to bringing life to snow constructs, to building entire castles out of ice, to "freezing the hearts" of (cursing) other people. All of these are things that she's done in canon, but it's very likely that her abilities are not limited to these things. While not explicitly stated in canon outside of the lyrics, "The cold never bothered me, anyway..." she also appears to be impervious to cold and freezing temperatures, as shown when she sheds her cloak while travelling up a snowy mountain.

Keepsakes/Mementos:

Given her perception of herself, Elsa is not likely to hold very many keepsakes or mementos dear to herself. However, her family is extremely important to her, and so the system is probably likely to pick up a few things in relation to this. A locket with her parents' portraits inside, perhaps, or a doll that might have belonged to Anna. Additionally, her gloves (given to her by her father) as well as her father's crown and scepter, as seen in her coronation. Even though she wasn't crowned by her canonpoint, they would serve as a stark reminder of her parents and Arendelle.

Sample:

The ice spreads freely, crystallizing along the polished floor of her bedroom and up the papered walls. Even behind her door, Elsa had rarely ever let the power flow, if she could help it, and now that she is there's a strange sort of relief that comes with it, like pressure slowly easing.

No matter how many times the words replay in her mind, they don't seem real.

Forgive me, Princess Elsa.

Her eyes sting with the prickle of tears. Not a hot prickle, like she has read in many of her books, but just sharp and stinging. She wishes it could be hot. It would be normal for anyone else, would it not?

I'm afraid I have some grave news.

There are snow flurries in the air, but they appear to be suspended in time and Elsa only half-recognizes this fact, just like she is only half-recognizing that the frost is spreading along her ceiling and crystallizing along the elegant shape of the chandelier above her.

I have just received word that the King and Queen of Arendelle...

The world grows momentarily watery and blurry, at least until the tears trickle thickly down her cheeks. One continues to follow the contour of her face and slips down her neck. The other she swipes away, as if trying to erase the evidence.

Your parents...

Her breath is visible when she exhales, a soft puff of white-blue fog in the cold air. It's cold enough in her room that the full glass pitcher of water on the table next to her bed is frozen solid, and yet the wet trails on her face left in the wake of her tears have not frozen.

They never freeze.

I am afraid there was a storm in the night. The ship your parents were on was capsized.

There is a musical sound in the air, something that sounds like wind chimes. Belatedly, she recognizes it as the sound of the crystals adorning the chandelier singing as they strike each other. The chandelier is swaying with the weight of icicles building unevenly off of its elegant cut.

They did not survive.

Something snaps, and Elsa has only the briefest moment to glance upward to see the chandelier come crashing down. One icicle, glistening like glass and sharp as a blade, pierces her heart.

It does not hurt. It does not hurt even when her lungs fill and she can't breathe.

Her last thought is of her sister's smiling face and the vaguely-awkward quality of her laughter. It is of how she is sure that Anna would grow up to be a strikingly beautiful woman.

It isn't of how even her blood runs as cold as her magic as it seeps through her dress and across the floor.

Mindset:

Her death was extremely quick, and hampered by the haze of grief, so it is likely that she actually remembers very, very little of it outside of being overwhelmed by the fact that her parents have died.

Although not specifically stated, it is heavily implied with the nature of Elsa's coronation that her culture is influenced by religion; possibly a form of Catholicism, although I plan to keep this extremely loose and vague. The world will likely conflict with everything she might have been taught about death and afterlife, but she will come to accept most of it as some sort of and afterlife. It may even come as a little bit of a relief, especially if she meets people with powers who are stronger than hers and accept hers for what they are, and her for who she is. Elsa may have been taught to be a recluse, but she was not born one, and even at the end of canon she is shown to be very adaptable to new ideas once she has gained her footing and her self-confidence. I plan on making this a slow and natural process; as natural as it can be, anyway.

Regardless, at her surface, no matter how unsure of the situation she may be, she will handle the majority of it with regal poise, not really letting anyone see how uncertain that she is under the surface. Although at the time of her in-game death she was only just made aware of her parents' death, and thus it has not really dawned on her that she is next in line to accept the royal crown, she has spent her entire life in the service of Arendelle's people and so she understands the importance of keeping a firm grasp on her appearances.

The one exception to this will be if someone she is close to (especially her sister) is in danger, in which case she's likely to lash out in the worst ways. Her ice powers for the majority of canon respond directly with her emotions, and can have devastating consequences. Naturally, this is going to be especially interesting in Monad.

G̶̶l̨͡i̵͢t̷c͝͠h̕é͠s̷̷͡:

Ice Powers/Lack of Control: Elsa appears to both deeply love and deeply hate her powers. At a young age, she greatly enjoyed them, creating winter wonderlands for her and her sister to play in at any time of the year. After nearly killing her sister with them, however, she's grown to fear it and what it is capable of. Definitely, ice power glitches in which she completely loses control of them are highly, highly probable.
Anna: Her sister had nearly died after being struck by Elsa's power, and was magicked into forgetting about the entire experience. If there is one person that Elsa is terrified to lose, it is her sister. Not that she wants to lose anyone, of course, but Anna especially. That said, anything that makes her believe that Anna has died or succumbed to Elsa's ice magic is definitely approved.
The Crown: This is a weird one. It is likely that she grew up knowing that she would be the heir to the Arendelle crown, and thus it is extremely important to her to do right by her parents and her people. However, with having so little control over her abilities, she is utterly terrified that she will be unable to fill her father's shoes to the point that she isn't sure she wants even it anymore. While she will almost always side on the err of duty and tradition (evidence in how she proceeded to open up the castle for her coronation even when she was reluctant to do it) she is equally torn between her duties to Arendelle as its heir to the throne, and her fear that she is a monster (for the lack of a better way of saying it) that should remain locked away. This one would be a little hard to play with, but it has a sort of "Frankenstein's monster" feel to it, and provides some good routes to take. Elsa wants her people to approve of her, so she can be a fair and just leader like her father, which cannot be done when they fear her and want her gone.
Isolation: Elsa has spent a lot of time alone. A lot. It wasn't always like that, and prior to it she appeared to be a very happy and cheerful little girl, so it is likely that her self-imposed isolation is done out of self-perceived necessity, rather than something she really wants for herself. Elsa is just as afraid of herself and her powers as other people, and she seems to be extremely aware of how terrifying they can appear to everyone else. This is another one that I'm not sure how it can be translated into glitches, but it does provide a good sense of some of Elsa's insecurities.
