[[caption-width-right:258: "I don't trust your judgment! Who marries a man she just met?"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JonathanGroff
->(8-year-old Kristoff) '''Voiced by:''' Tyree Brown
An ice harvester of Arendelle who spurns human companionship for animals and the Trolls. He becomes a personal wilderness guide to Anna to help her on her quest.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Olaf constantly calling him Sven is a RunningGag in the film. Anna also called him Kristoffer/Christopher once.
* {{Adorkable}}: Such as when he subs the words for Sven, or when he falls for Anna. This is to show that he's genuinely adorkable, in private as well as around humans.
* AllThereInTheManual: Kristoff is a member of the Sami people (the indigenous peoples of far northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland); perhaps not coincidentally, they are the only peoples in that region with the right to herd reindeer. Not so much hidden if you actually are Scandinavian, [[ShownTheirWork those pointy shoes were a dead giveaway]]. Same goes for his last name—it was never stated in the film, but the Essential Guide reveals that it's Bjorgman.
** As does the Disney on Ice show, with an exchange that would have made sense to be in the film considering the AccidentalMisnaming:
--->'''Anna:''' I'm Princess Anna, from Arendelle.
--->'''Kristoff:''' And I'm Kristoff Bjorgman, from nowhere-in-particular.
* AmazonChaser: After Anna hits one of the wolves chasing her and Kristoff, the latter utters a very impressed "Whoa!"
* BecomingTheMask: Inverted - Kristoff has put on a mask of being tough and untouchable for so long that he has come to believe it and it's Anna's job to remove the mask.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica (manly ice farmer) to Hans's Betty (cultured prince) for Anna's Archie.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: "... Wait, what?"
* BrutalHonesty: Has no problem telling the Princess of Arendelle that he doesn't trust her judgement because she became engaged to a guy on the first day they met.
* ButtMonkey: Gets attacked by wolves while dragged behind a sled, tries and fails to stop Anna from angering a snow golem, is covered in ice and snow in several scenes, and he's unlucky enough to be transporting ice when Arendelle froze over (rendering his duty kinda moot).
* CharacterDevelopment: In the sequel short, ''Frozen Fever'', Kristoff's softer side is shown to have grown, and become a more prominent side of his personality. With Elsa, he is shown to be fairly laid-back, comforting, and encouraging, looking on the brighter side of a situation, no matter the level of importance. Nevertheless, he is still shown to become flustered around Anna, as a result of his affections for her.
* ChildhoodFriends: Been friends with Sven since they were kids.
%%* CoolBigBro: interactions with Sven and the younger trolls.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: {{Implied}}. Before he was taken in by the trolls, Kristoff was apparently an orphan and only had Sven as a companion, the other humans being apparently mean to him.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Kristoff's clothing is primarily black and very dark brown, and even the fur lining his clothes is a dark grey. Even the red sash and collar that punctuate his clothes are of dark shades. Dark clothing is more appropriate to wear in cold weather, since darker color clothes tend to absorb heat better. Considering where Kristoff goes most of the time, it would make sense for him to wear dark clothes to keep warm. By comparison, Hans wears dark clothing in many of his outdoor scenes in the second half of the movie, both because he's villainous and again, because it's practical for the conditions.
* DeadpanSnarker: His dialogue is mostly snark at whoever he happens to be talking to, and always in a deadpan manner. Example:
-->'''Kristoff:''' You wanna talk to me about supply and demand problems? I sell ''ice'' for a living.
* DefrostingIceKing: Becomes more and more comfortable around Anna. He even becomes her official boyfriend in the epilogue. In ''Frozen Fever'', he declares his love for her come his part in ''Making Today A Perfect Day''.
* EmotionallyTongueTied: He acquires a shyer, more awkward side once he falls in love with Anna.
-->'''Kristoff:''' I could kiss you! I-I could. I mean, I'd like to--may I? We me? I mean, may we--[[BorrowedCatchphrase wait, what?]]
* FarmBoy: In the ice harvester variant. He was doing his job and just happened to bump into a princess who was on a quest and got drafted into it.
* {{Foil}}: To Hans in every way, from start all the way to finish - even in the façades they present to the world. Their designs are also radically different, with Hans being the traditional slim and average height Disney hero and Kristoff being very tall, broad-shouldered and bulky.
* FourthDateMarriage: ''Heavily'' ridicules Anna for wanting to marry Hans despite her having met him ''less than a day ago'', even going so far as to say that he doesn't trust her judgement as a result. Defied between him and Anna at the end where Anna explicitly says she wants to "date" him instead of marry him.
* FreudianExcuse: The way the ice miners treated him may well have made him a misanthrope, and while being [[HappilyAdopted adopted by trolls]] may have made him less of a Jerkass than Hans, Anna was really the first ''human'' friend he ever had.
* GenderFlip: Kristoff is based off of the Robber Girl from the original tale.
* GoodCounterpart: To the richer and princely yet manipulative and conniving Hans, to whom Kristoff also serves as a foil.
* GoodSamaritan: Anna's "request" of him was simply to help guide her through the wilderness and reach Elsa's Ice Palace. Throughout the trip, he goes above and beyond doing ''just'' that.
* GrumpyBear: In the beginning, he has a sour disposition. He defrosts though by the end.
* HairstyleInertia: Has the same hairstyle he had as a young boy.
* HappilyAdopted: Since the trolls adopted Kristoff and Sven, they have loved and nurtured them both.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: He was raised first by ice miners who ignored him, and then by trolls, and in one of his first scenes after the TimeSkip, he sings a song about reindeer being better than people but smelling worse.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Falls in love with and becomes a couple with [[FieryRedhead Anna]].
* HeroicBuild: Most Disney Heroes have a build more like Hans, with a perfect embracing height of about 5'8". They all look like tennis players. Kristoff is over 6' tall with broad shoulders, and big feet and hands. His overall build is genuinely stocky. When we first see him as an adult, he's large enough that he gets slightly ominous music, having to bend down to get into Oaken's Trading Post, and clearly towering over Anna. It's a design that ''helps'' to prolong our delusions regarding Hans.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: A humorous, lighthearted example is his lullaby to Sven, in which he says that he's the only human who smells as unpleasant as a reindeer.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sven which is {{lampshaded|Trope}} by the trolls who say his "thing" is "outside of nature's laws".
* HiddenHeartOfGold: He'll always do the right thing...even if it takes some subtle (and occasionally not-so-subtle) prompting from [[TheConscience Sven.]] Or Anna.
* HomelessHero: {{Implied|Trope}} to be this with Sven. After Kristoff is thrown out of Oaken's shop, he crashes in Oaken's barn. Aside from the trolls, Kristoff probably takes to crashing in peoples' barns.
* {{Hunk}}: Contrasting Hans's more slim and cool appearance. Kristoff instead is modeled after the "ruggedly handsome" look (in spite of the shot at his "unmanly blondness").
* IneffectualLoner: Kristoff generally does not like interacting with other humans, and simply performs honest work with his reindeer companion. However, Kristoff is clearly not doing terribly well all on his own, needing to crash in random barn houses and being barely able to afford daily necessities (he's only able to get his climbing gear and carrots because Anna buys them along with her own boots and dress).
* InterspeciesAdoption: He (human) and Sven (reindeer) were both adopted by trolls.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Sort of. Kristoff seems to believe that even if it's been kind of fast, Anna can get her TrueLovesKiss from Hans. He chooses to leave her at the castle, and even knowing he loves her, decides it's better that he leave her with Hans.
* JerkassHasAPoint: No matter how rude he is, there is always a point behind his rudeness.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Openly bickers with Anna and calls her out when she doesn't think things through... yet also does everything in his power to help her when it counts. One need only look at all the "heart of gold" tropes that apply to the man. Notably, this helps enforce him being a foil to Hans as his inverse; everything Kristoff does for Anna is ''genuine'' in intent.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Sans the armor...though he probably wouldn't admit it. At heart, he bears this trope in spirit, and his daring sequence in the finale brings it to the forefront.
* LampshadeHanging: Does this ''heavily'' when he hears about Anna [[FourthDateMarriage wanting to marry Hans despite just meeting him]], and makes a few good points on why that may not be wise. Unfortunately, Kristoff turned out to be right.
* NatureLover: He has been described as a "true outdoors man".
* NervesOfSteel: Sees that hungry, strong, adult wolves are coming? Keeps his cool while saying "Sven, go. GO!" and manages to kick one away with just his foot.
* NiceGuy: At the end of the film as he becomes this to show that Hans wasn't really a [[BitchInSheepsClothing nice guy]] after all.
* NiceHat: The hat he is seen with is a standard hat for ice harvesters.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: As the rough, ill-tempered troll's kid, he appears to be the Roguish male to Hans' Noble Male. It's subverted, as Hans's true character is Machiavellian and he uses the noble ruse as a tool to usurp the throne, while Kristoff's persona was implied by the trolls to have been created to protect himself from being hurt emotionally and hide his inner kindness and goodness.
* NoseNuggets: Claims that all guys eat their boogers.
* NoSocialSkills: {{Justified|Trope}} since part of his life he was raised by trolls. It was even lampshaded by a member of his adoptive troll family; "or that he's socially impaired".
* OfficialCouple: With Anna, although they are not married by the movie's end.
* OneHeadTaller: With Anna. He's taller than her by a head and is also built much larger.
* OnlySaneMan: He's more practical than Anna and Olaf, and is the only one to think to tell Olaf just what exactly happens to snow in summer. Anna won't let him. With Anna being the hopeless romantic she is, he was quite suspicious of suddenly accepting a marriage proposal from Hans. Kristoff eventually turned out to be right.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: A minor example. Kristoff usually talks for [[LoyalAnimalCompanion Sven]] when the latter is "acting as his conscience" in the middle of a moral dilemma. Towards the end of the movie, when Kristoff has no idea what Sven is trying to communicate to him, it's a sign that Kristoff is ''very'' deep in denial about being in love with Anna.
* ThePigPen: His lack of hygiene is a RunningGag: he eats a saliva covered carrot (it was Sven's saliva, but still, gross), only ever relieves himself in the woods, and (by his own admission) smells worse than a reindeer. The trolls say he's smelly no matter how much he washes, and Olaf describes him as "a pungent reindeer king."
* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: The Rude Hero to Hans's Polite Villain. Even after TheReveal, Hans is still smooth, charming, and well-dressed in contrast to Kristoff, who is the snarky, impolite and sometimes insensitive Tritagonist of the film.
* RaceLift: In the Disney version, Kristoff is Caucasian. In the musical, he is played by an African-American actor.
* RaisedByWolves: Kristoff was raised by trolls, and yet he ''still'' has a better grasp of human society than the very sheltered Princess Anna, as seen by his disbelief in marrying Hans, who she's only known for hours.
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: The unglamorous, working-class poor suitor to Hans's suave, royal rich suitor.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Anna. She is a spunky princess willing to do whatever it takes to bring her sister home, he is a grumpy, rough-around-the-edges ice harvester helping her along the way.
* ScarfOfAssKicking: He wears a scarf around his waist and proves to be a badass.
* SecondLove: To Anna. Her first love, Hans, turned out to be a complete jerk who never loved her.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Kristoff is the Manly Mountain Man to Hans' gentlemanly Sensitive Guy. It turns out that Hans is actually the sinister villain, and Kristoff is actually a sensitive guy beneath his rugged exterior.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Tries to convince his adoptive family of this about Anna. [[ShipperOnDeck They don't believe him.]]
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Kristoff has no problems with doing his dangerous ice harvester jobs (which includes taking on wolves) or climbing down a mountain. But interacting with humans and expressing his {{adorkable}} love for Anna is the hard part.
* StraightMan: Quite notably, midst a cast of colorful and larger-than-life characters in a world to match, Kristoff appears to be more of a straight-man, reacting to the various, mystical situations he and the other characters encounter with a generally down-to-earth viewpoint.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: In spite of his loner nature, and dislike for society, Kristoff has a loving heart, and at his core, is rather harmless, innocent, and protective. This is first evidenced by his relationship with his reindeer and best friend, Sven, whom he treats as his pet and closest friend, and he's shown to value the reindeer's life above his own several times. Kristoff's inner softness and loving aura is further emphasized by his family, the trolls, who reveal Kristoff to be, despite his various flaws and shortcomings, sensitive and sweet when given the same treatment, which he proves through his friendship and eventual relationship with Anna.
* TalkingToHimself: An in-universe example; Sven isn't a TalkingAnimal, so Kristoff sometimes provides a "voice" for him when they're alone. Hilariously, it's always Sven who "wins" any argument.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Initially, Kristoff has little love for his employer, Anna, and only assists her because he has an interest in stopping Elsa from making more and more ice. During their initial ascent, Kristoff teases her, especially regarding her rapid courtship with Hans and only begins to warm up to her after he finds she might be in mortal peril.
* {{Tritagonist}}: Third in the protagonist line behind Anna and Elsa. He's as important as they are, and has more screen time than other characters, but not as much as the sisters.
* TookALevelInKindness: He becomes completely kind, selfless and polite at the end to contrast with Hans' ruthless personality.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Like Sven, he has a fondness for carrots.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: The opening showed that Kristoff wasn't always the gruff, rude jerk he grew up to be.
* VoiceForTheVoiceless: He speaks for Sven in his "reindeer voice".
* WatchThePaintJob: Kristoff chides Anna for touching the lacquer on his sled. Of course, the sled smashes to pieces later on, and then catches on fire. After he just paid it off. Thankfully, by movie's end, the crown reimburses him for the lost sleigh.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sven_pose.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' N/A
Kristoff's lovable pet reindeer.
----
* ActionPet: His biology has made him this; capable of leaping a wide ravine, surviving frigid waters, tearing through blizzards at breakneck speed, keeping ahead of wolves while towing a large sled, and pulling Kristoff and Anna out of holes and away from trouble while only eating a bunch of carrots, his favourite snack, and probably moss.
* {{Adorkable}}: Mix in his clumsiness, love for carrots, and facial expressions, and Sven counts.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Has the mannerisms of a dog more than a reindeer. Unlike some movies, this is deliberately pulled off for humour.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude:
** He's clearly got a better grasp of what's going on than a normal reindeer might.
** In ''Frozen Fever'', he can slice a three-tiered ice cream cake into perfectly straight, equal-sized wedges... with his ''antlers.''
* BadassAdorable: Sven is also an adorable reindeer.
* CharacterTics: He has a tendency to lick both people and inanimate objects. Kristoff, Olaf, the [[TongueOnTheFlagpole staircase at Elsa's ice castle]], carrots, you name it, he's probably licked it.
* ChildhoodFriends: Has known Kristoff since they were kids.
* TheConscience: To Kristoff. Played with, as most of the time, Kristoff himself is the one actually making the argument. It's played straight near the end, though, when Sven proves he doesn't need Kristoff to speak for him to get his meaning across.
* CoolPet: This reindeer jumped a gorge! That's pretty awesome.
* CuteMute: This reindeer is silly, snarky and lovable, and yet he does not say a single word the entire movie.
* DisneyDeath: It's small in comparison to everything happening when it does, but he manages to buck Kristoff off to safety during their breakneck run in the climactic blizzard when the fjord's icy surface cracks underneath them and sends him into the freezing waters below. It takes a harrowing moment, but he surfaces not long after. This is justified, since reindeer/caribou are easily capable of swimming even in icy arctic waters; the main peril comes because the audience knows if a horse or human fell inside, it would probably be fatal.
* {{Expy}}: Sven is based on "Bae" from the original ''Snow Queen''.
* HappilyAdopted: As a young reindeer, he and a child Kristoff were taken in, loved, and nurtured by trolls.
* HeroicSacrifice: Almost, see DisneyDeath above. When he surfaces, he urges Kristoff to keep moving while he's stuck out on a small ice platform.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Kristoff were both adopted by the trolls and, until Anna, was his only friend.
* HomelessHero: {{Implied}} to be this with Kristoff, after the latter was thrown out of Oaken's shop they go to a barn. His family lives out in the open because they are trolls.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Sven (reindeer) and Kristoff (human) have a familial bond with their family of trolls.
* TheLancer: For Kristoff. Not only as his steadfast backup, but Sven creates a contrast with Kristoff by being the more reasonable and generous of the two.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: To Kristoff. The two have been together since childhood.
* MoralityChain: {{Implied}} to be this for Kristoff since WordOfGod described Sven as "the conscience" for Kristoff.
* NiceGuy: Sven is sweet, loyal, playful, and has a strong moral center.
* NonHumanSidekick: To Kristoff, because he's a reindeer.
* OnlyFriend: Sven has been this to Kristoff since they were kids.
* ParentalAbandonment: No idea what became of Sven's mother or herd, any more than we know what happened to Kristoff's parents.
* PluckyComicRelief: Like Olaf, he provides levity in a number of places; however he's not a magical creature and still quite vulnerable. He proves his pluckiness by taking a dive into a frozen fjord and coming out relatively none the worse for wear.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Kristoff and Anna, such as convincing him to go back to her.
* {{Sidekick}}: To Kristoff and Olaf in market sales.
* SilentSnarker: When he tries to convince Kristoff to admit his feelings to Anna.
* TalkingAnimal: Downplayed; he cannot talk, but Kristoff likes to pretend he can, playing both sides of their conversation. Also, Sven makes appropriate gesticulations for his part of the conversation. He just can't make the sounds himself.
%%* TeamPet: Of the heroes.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sven has a fondness for carrots. [[RunningGag He keeps going after Olaf's nose]].
* UndyingLoyalty: To Kristoff and later Anna, Elsa, and Olaf.
* TheSpeechless: He doesn't have any lines in the film, just reindeer grunts and groans.

[[caption-width-right:191: "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JoshGad
The first snow golem made by Elsa. He dreams of enjoying the summer.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Due to a misunderstanding, Olaf believes that Kristoff's name is 'Sven'. Olaf continues to call him that until the Trolls correct him; he does use the right name when revealing to Anna that Kristoff loves her.
* {{Adorkable}}: Olaf runs on adorable dorky antics.
* AdvertisedExtra: [[NeverTrustATrailer The trailers]] make it looks like the film is largely his adventure. He doesn't show up officially until the second half of the movie.
* AllLovingHero: Olaf just wants his friends to be safe and happy.
* AmusingInjuries: He never feels any pain from things like "impaling", which is what keeps it amusing.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Initially believes Kristoff to be insane because he starts interacting with rocks like they're people (and, as it turns out, they ''are'' magical rock-people), when he's a sentient, animated snowman.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: He's adorable, especially compared to his EvilCounterpart Marshmallow.
* BigNo: Screams this as he tries to stop Marshmallow from pursuing Anna and Kristoff. Unfortunately, his size means he's no match for the larger snowman.
-->'''Olaf:''' This is not making much of a difference, isn't it?!
* BreakoutCharacter: Apart from Anna and Elsa, he's the most popular Frozen character and has almost as much merchandise as the sisters.
* ButtMonkey: He's subject to all kinds of slapstick and AmusingInjuries throughout the film.
* CatchPhrase: "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!", a {{Callback}} to when Elsa and Anna first built him.
* ChekhovsGunman: The sisters first built him when they were children. He was later rebuilt by Elsa and becomes important for the rest of the film.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A light version, as he is always happy and doesn't seem to understand that warmth is bad for him, as his biggest dream is to see summer, but is capable of great wisdom.
-->'''Kristoff:''' I'm gonna tell him.\\
'''Anna:''' Don't you dare!
* CreatingLifeIsUnforeseen: Elsa didn't consciously bring him to life, it just happened. His creation in general is sort of like a FreudianSlip, as Elsa unconsciously makes him while singing about how she's letting go of the past.
* CuddleBug: The very first thing he informs people of, other than his name, is that he "likes warm hugs." There is also a tie-in book featuring his character that is titled ''Do You Want a Hug?''
* DissonantSerenity: Can be seen ''smiling'' when Elsa creates Marshmallow to kick him, Anna, and Kristoff out. He also seems quite calm when Marshmallow forcefully tosses them all out of the ice palace. This is most likely due to his innocent, optimistic, and friendly nature; he just isn't seeing the danger.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As one sentence in ''The Secret Admirer" puts it: Olaf liked everyone and everything, but even Olaf did not like [[HateSink Hans of the Southern Isles]].
* {{Foil}}: Olaf is Elsa's inner desires come to life in exaggerated form. She withdrew from others for fear of hurting them. He loves physical contact even if it hurts him, [[RunningGag many, many times]].
* FriendToAllChildren: {{Implied}} when we see him dancing with some of the troll children during "Fixer Upper".
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: His {{Snowlem}} nature makes him NighInvulnerable to any kind of damage save heat, which comes in handy due to his frequent AmusingInjuries.
* HasTwoMommies: Elsa and Anna first built him as little girls.
* HealingFactor: Since he's a snowman, he can't die or be truly injured unless he melts.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: A non-lethal version that is PlayedForLaughs when he walks into an icicle without looking. It amuses him more than anything. "Ha-ha, I've been impaled."
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Olaf is literally the embodiment of childhood love and innocence. Elsa inadvertently created him from her memories of such.
* IronButtMonkey: Though most of his injuries are self-inflicted by his own mistakes, it doesn't stop him from being chipper.
* {{Irony}}: He is a snowman who wants to see summer and doesn't realize he'll melt. In the finale, Elsa gives him a [[PersonalRaincloud personal flurry that allows him to enjoy summer without melting.]]
* IWantSong: "In Summer", in which Olaf sings of how wonderful it would be to experience Summer. The fact that he's a snowman notwithstanding.
* KidAppealCharacter: The classic Disney non-human companion.
* KindheartedSimpleton: {{Downplayed}}. Olaf isn't a "simpleton", but he can be ''childish'' and still retain his NiceGuy attitude.
* LiteralMinded: When Anna tells him to "give [her and Elsa] a minute" at the ice castle, he counts to 60 before going in after her.
* LoveInformant: It's thanks to Olaf that Anna gets to know that Kristoff is in love with her.
* MeaningfulName: Is named after [[UsefulNotes/PatronSaints St. Olaf,]] a founding king of Norway and its patron saint.
* NeverLearnedToRead: In ''Frozen Fever'', he points this out when asked to help with a banner for Anna's birthday. When he tries to help anyway, he rearranges the letters into a nonsense phrase.
* NiceGuy: He always does everything he can to help his friends.
* NighInvulnerable: He suffers a lot of AmusingInjuries and is always falling apart, but his components never break apart. The only thing that can actually kill him is heat, and even that's not an issue when Elsa summons a personal snow cloud for him.
* NonHumanSidekick: To Anna, being a snowman and all.
* TheNoseless: When he first meets Anna and Kristoff. Anna gives him a carrot nose, which Sven occasionally tries to eat.
-->"It's like a little baby unicorn!"
* OurPhlebotinumChild: First built by Anna and Elsa as children, then bought to life by Elsa's magic years later.
* PerpetualSmiler: About 99% of his screentime has him with a smile on his face.
* PersonalRaincloud: Elsa gives Olaf a personal ''flurry'' once the eternal winter ends, so he can enjoy the season without melting.
* PluckyComicRelief: He provides a lot of the film's humor.
* ThePollyanna: Despite all the injuries he suffers, he never loses his optimism. Even as he melts under the summer sun after Elsa restores the climate, he's cheerful (though Elsa quickly rectifies that with an endless winter in microcosm just for Olaf).
* PurityPersonified: WordOfGod confirmed that Olaf is the sisterly love of Elsa and Anna given a solid form.
* RuleOfSymbolism: One of the directors says he symbolizes the love between Anna and Elsa.
* ShipperOnDeck: Olaf comments on how Kristoff deeply loves Anna.
* ShooOutTheClowns: During the blizzard at the climax, he's blown away by the storm and not seen again until Anna's frozen solid.
* SimpleMindedWisdom: A simple pep talk from the naive, oddball, silly snowlem of all things... is what snaps Anna back from Hans's betrayal.
* {{Snowlem}}: Based on a mundane snowman Elsa had made with Anna when they were little. He was the first sentient snowman Elsa created, though she didn't even initially know he was alive.
* SpannerInTheWorks: If he hadn't found Anna after Hans left her for dead and led her outside, Hans's plot to kill Elsa and take the throne would have succeeded.
* TooDumbToLive: He loves all things warm and wants to experience summer, not realizing that heat is deadly to him.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He has a fondness for ice cream, which is why he took a bite of Anna's birthday cake behind everyone's back.
* {{Tulpa}}: He starts out as a funny character Elsa invents to amuse Anna when they are kids. Years later, Elsa's magic made him real without her even knowing it. Even ''Elsa's'' surprised when he shows up walking and talking in her castle, since she still remembers him.
-->'''Olaf:''' ....58, 59, 60!
-->'''Elsa:''' Wait. What is that?
-->''[Olaf comes running across the foyer]''
-->'''Olaf:''' HI! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!
-->'''Elsa:''' ''Olaf??''
-->'''Olaf:''' You built me! Remember that?
-->'''Elsa:''' And you're alive?
-->'''Olaf:''' Yeah, um......I think so?
* UndyingLoyalty: When he starts a fire to keep Anna warm, he discovers that he'll melt if he comes into contact with heat. Despite this, he chooses to stand by Anna as her curse slowly freezes her.
-->'''Anna''': Olaf...you're melting.
-->'''Olaf''': Some people are worth melting for. (''{{Beat}}'') [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Just maybe not this second]].

->'''Pabbie Voiced by:''' Ciaran Hinds\\
'''Bulda Voiced by:''' Maia Wilson\\
'''Baby Troll Voiced by:''' Annie Lopez\\
'''Gothi the Troll Priest Voiced by:''' Jack Whitehall
Boulder-like magical creatures who helped the king and queen save Anna from Elsa's magic when the sisters were children. Also Kristoff's adoptive family.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Originally they were evil and selfish. Here, they may be meddlesome, but they're also kind and always willing to help.
* AllThereInTheManual: ''Frozen: The Essential Guide'' says that they turn to rocks during the day, although this is never seen in the movie.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: They look like moss-covered boulders when sleeping/hiding, and are very friendly towards humans, hence why they accept Kristoff as a family member.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: To Kristoff by listing all of his flaws. They're actually an entire amazingly embarrassing ''family'' Of trolls.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Some of the Troll kids behave like this towards Kristoff such as the one who says he "only likes to tinkle in the woods" (but they love him anyway).
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: They wear moss as clothing but nothing on their feet.
%%* BigBrotherWorship: The younger trolls show this towards Kristoff.
* BrutalHonesty: Pabbie when he tells and shows a ''child'' what will happen if she doesn't control her powers. One of the things he shows her is presumbably ''being killed by an angry mob''.
%%* TheChiefsDaughter: Bulda is the daughter of [[TheLeader Pabbie]].
* CrowdSong: "Fixer Upper", which has every other line sung by a different troll in the group.
* CutenessProximity: Bulda decides to adopt Kristoff and Sven because they were "cuties".
* ExactWords: ''Both'' sets of advice handed down by Pabbie get taken for their worth at face value. The former leads to Elsa's repression (it wasn't the ''people's'' fear she needed to worry about, it was ''her own fear'') while the latter was too open to interpretation and starts an assumption by his fellow Trolls that Anna takes to heart.
* {{Expy}}: The trolls are based off of "The Robbers" from ''The Snow Queen''.
* TheFairFolk: Averted. They never act malicious towards humans.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Mainly in their song where none of them finish a line that they start.
* HappilyMarried: Bulda and Cliff, Kristoff's adoptive parents. They even give Kristoff and who they think is his girlfriend advice on how to make a happy marriage.
* HiddenInPlainSight: They appear as rocks when they aren't active. Hilariously, when Kristoff tries to introduce them to Anna and Olaf, the latter two momentarily believe he's insane.
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Bulda adopts Kristoff and Sven as soon as she meets them, simply because they're cute.
* TheLeader: Pabbie is the leader of the trolls.
* {{Love Freak}}s: Their song "Fixer Upper" which is all about the virtues of love.
%%* MyBelovedSmother: Bulda, Kristoff's adoptive mother.
* NiceGuy: The trolls may be overbearing and inappropriate, but they mean well and love Kristoff a lot.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Pabbie removes Anna's memories of Elsa's magic under the vague assurance that it's for the best, then shows Elsa graphic depictions of what will happen if she doesn't learn to control her powers -- but never tells her how she should go about doing so. Both of these actions prove to be disastrous.
* OnlySaneMan: Pabbie is this because he's the only one not involved in "Fixer Upper".
* ParentalSubstitute: Specifically, Cliff and Bulda are this to Kristoff and Sven because they adopted the pair.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The female trolls wear pink or red crystal necklaces, while male trolls wear blue or green crystal necklaces. Pabbie's the only one to wear a yellow crystal necklace, which could signify his role as the leader of the trolls.
* PoorCommunicationKills: A lot of trouble could have been avoided if they had been a ''little'' more clear. Their proclamation that fear will be Elsa's greatest enemy was accompanied by a representation of what looked like angry townspeople attacking her (an honest concern), even though they meant her fear rather than the people's (which turned out to be even more dangerous).
* PowerOfLove: They firmly believe in this. Bulda says it is "powerful and strange".
* PunnyName: Most of their names reference the fact they are rocks. In fact, Clay's name was [[DubNameChange changed in the Swedish dub]] to Sten -- literally "Stone", and a real name in Swedish.
* ScoutOut: The troll child that earned his fire crystal is called a "Troll Scout Kid" in the script. Evidently, crystals are stand-ins for badges.
* ShipperOnDeck: Ship Anna and Kristoff quite gleefully. It's the root point of "Fixer Upper".
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: They are not in any adverts, especially before the movie came out, despite showing up in the film's prologue in a fairly important role. For a while, the only clip was of two of them dancing with Olaf, though later adverts showed clips from their song.
* SqueakyEyes: Whenever the Trolls blink in unison.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The female trolls have at least one [[FlowerInHerHair flower in their hair]], the males don't.

[[caption-width-right:350: "Hoohoo! Big summer blowout!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Chris Williams
The owner of Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna. Like Kristoff, his business was changed into taking advantage of the new weather once it was changed by Elsa's magic.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: Beside his soft and somewhat effeminate personality, his family in the sauna notably consists of a young man and four children. However, it isn't clear if the young man is his partner or a different relative (such as a younger brother or cousin).
* ApologeticAttacker: Sort of. After he throws Kristoff out for calling him a "crook," Oaken immediately apologizes -- to Anna, because she had to witness him committing an act of violence in his store.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't like being called a crook. What makes it funnier is that he's still nice about it. He's less angry than he is ''hurt'' when he stands up.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: "''Vhat'' did you call me?" ''[cuts to Oaken hauling Kristoff to the front porch and throwing him into the snow]''
* BigBeautifulMan: Oaken is a big man and quite a cutie.
* CatchPhrase: "HOO-hoo!"
* CreatorCameo: He's voiced by Disney director and writer Chris Williams.
* FunnyForeigner: He has a thick Swedish accent, and some very stereotypical mannerisms.
* GentleGiant: He's sweet and pleasant for the most part, but when Kristoff makes the mistake of calling him a crook, he gets up out of his chair... revealing himself to be ''massive'', utterly towering over Kristoff (who himself is a pretty big, muscular guy). He then bodily throws Kristoff out with no effort whatsoever.
* HonestJohnsDealership: He tries to demand more money from Kristoff than Kristoff has in his pockets, and tries to justify his outrageous price gouging as a supply-and-demand problem. It's no wonder Kristoff [[BerserkButton calls him a "crook".]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: To show his pure and sweet nature.
* LargeAndInCharge: Is thrice bigger and larger than his family and is the one who runs the FamilyBusiness.
* NiceGuy: See GentleGiant. [[BerserkButton Just don't call him a crook]].
* NiceHat: Which totally matches his sweater.
* NoHeroDiscount: Doesn't matter how his business is doing, Kristoff has to pay for those carrots, the axe, and the rope. In fact, he jacked up the prices of his winter gear quite outrageously due to "supply and demand". This is despite outright stating that ''nobody'' was out in the blizzard except Anna and Kristoff and knowing full well that anyone who needed the ice pick and rope probably wouldn't survive without them. Subverted in ''Disney/FrozenFever'' when he gives away a cold remedy to Elsa and Anna, singing, genuinely concerned:
-->'''Oaken:''' What, are you sick? How about a cold remedy, of my own invention?
* StoutStrength: He effortlessly throws Kristoff out of his house when his BerserkButton was pushed.
* TranquilFury: He eighty-sixes Kristoff without losing his happy persona at all; however, he is by no means a StepfordSmiler, as his smile briefly fades after Kristoff makes the mistake of calling him a crook.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marshmallow_transparent.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"DON'T COME '''BAAAAAAAAACK'''!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Paul Briggs
A large snow golem created by Elsa to keep people out of her castle.
----
* AntiVillain: All he wants to do is make sure that both he and Elsa are left alone. However, he is a little '''too''' protective of Elsa for his own good.
* BigLittleBrother: Marshmallow was built by Elsa after she created Olaf; while the latter is small and friendly, the former is huge and intimidating. So, Marshmallow is technically Olaf's "baby" brother. This is more obvious in early concept art that originally envisioned Marshmallow as looking like Olaf if Olaf were about twenty times larger than he actually is, with giant tree trunks for arms.
* BerserkButton: Do not throw a snowball at Happy Fun Marshmallow. He'll immediately flip out and give you a chase.
* {{Bouncer}}: It's his job to keep people out of Elsa's castle.
* BrickJoke: Remember that tiara Elsa threw away in "Let It Go"? Well, after the credits are over, Marshmallow is revealed to have survived his fall into the chasm. He finds it lying on the floor of the castle and puts it on, smiling to himself.
* CainAndAbel: Since he doesn't hesitate on striking his "brother" Olaf...Ironically, he's also the "good son" of the pair because he's doing exactly what his "mother" told him to do.
* CreatorCameo: Marshmallow is voiced by Paul Briggs, who was the head of storywriting.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Falls into a chasm after Hans cuts his leg off. TheStinger [[DisneyDeath reveals that he survived]].
* DubNameChange: The Spanish dub renamed him ''Merengue'' because marshmallows are not very well known in Spain.
* EvilCounterpart: A larger, more dangerous version of Olaf. This was more explicit in early designs, where Marshmallow was essentially Olaf, but bigger and more menacing looking, with giant ''tree trunks'' for arms.
* FluffyTheTerrible: You wouldn't expect a massive Snowlem to be named ''Marshmallow''.
* GlowingEyes: Marshmallow's empty eye sockets glow blue when he's enraged.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he's about to attack, they shine.
* GoneHorriblyRight: He takes his duty to protect Elsa ''too'' seriously, given how viciously he chased after Anna and her companions even after they were leaving, something that Elsa wouldn't have wanted. Although this might have been because Anna provoked him by throwing a snowball at him (as he seemed perfectly content to just walk away after tossing them out), and even then, he didn't physically harm Anna directly after pulling her back up from the cliff.
* HealingFactor: Implied, since he survived getting his leg cut off and falling into a gorge. Being made of snow in a snow mountain helps.
* HiddenDepths: At the end of the film, when returning to the ice palace, he is shown smiling and letting out a happy sigh after placing Elsa's old tiara on his head. This possibly hints that while he represents her desire to be alone, he could also contain some aspects of her innocence.
* HiddenInPlainSight: Hides by the staircase leading to the ice palace disguised as a pile of snow; he reveals himself when Hans and the search party arrive looking for Anna.
* MeaningfulName: He is white (due to being a [[{{Snowlems}} snowlem]]) and he is named after a ''white'' candy.
* MightyGlacier: He's very big and strong, but lacks quick reflexes. A literal example too, as he's made of ice and snow.
* MookPromotion: He crowns himself the new ruler of Elsa's ice kingdom in the end.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Merely does what Elsa wants him to do.
* NonMaliciousMonster: Since his only purpose is to keep people out of Elsa's palace, he's pretty content with just yelling at them or scaring them away (making him more like a bouncer than a hitman). The only time he actively chases or threatens people is when they provoke him (Anna tossing the snowball and Hans's men shooting him).
* TheNoseless: Unlike Olaf, it's permanent.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Or rather, only given a name by an offhand comment.
* OneManArmy: He's big, he's strong, and he kicks lots of ass! He took the whole Kingdom by himself.
* OneWingedAngel: Marshmallow grows icicle fangs, claws, and spikes when Hans and his men arrive. Earlier, there's a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example when he pursues Kristoff, Anna, and Olaf; it's easy to assume that the number of claws, fangs, and spikes he grows depends on how much of a threat his opponents are. In other words, Marshmallow doesn't grow his claws, fangs, or spikes while chasing those three because Kristoff and Anna are not armed, whereas Hans and his search team were armed with swords and crossbows.
* PoisonousFriend: He's overprotective of Elsa for this reason.
%%* RatedMForManly
* RuleOfSymbolism: While Olaf represents the love Elsa and Anna have, Marshmallow can be interpreted as representing how Elsa wishes to be alone; he's pretty adamant that other people should "GO AWAY!" TheStinger, while intended for humor, takes this further by having Marshmallow smile for the first time...because he's completely alone and is living in Elsa's isolated ice palace.
* {{Snowlems}}: Marshmallow is a large, decidedly unfriendly version. Born of Elsa's desire to be left alone, he is a large, very territorial monster who attempts to forcibly remove anyone who gets near.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Marshmallow grows spikes made of icicles when he becomes angry.
* SuperPersistentPredator: His only purpose is to keep people out of Elsa's castle, but he chases Anna off a cliff just for throwing a snowball at him.
* SuperStrength: His greater size than Oalf naturally means his "muscles" are capable of more.
* TakingYouWithMe: When Hans cuts off Marshmallow's leg, Marshmallow tries to grab at Hans and pull him into the chasm as well.
* TookALevelInKindness: In tie-in comics and ''Frozen Fever'', Marshmallow shows his friendlier side. For example, at the end of ''Frozen Fever'' when Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven visit him again, Marshmallow shows no hostility and the trio show no signs of fear despite their previous history.
* TopHeavyGuy: His arms and torso are massive compared to his legs.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Elsa, and he'll pursue his job with single-minded zeal, as seen when he chased Anna off cliff.
* TheUsurper: PlayedForLaughs. Played with as well, because he finds the tiara Elsa had tossed away in "Let it Go" and "crowns" himself "king" of Elsa's palace... the palace she created in the same song, and not the actual kingdom.
* UpgradeVsPrototypeFight: Olaf being alive was a surprise to Elsa. Marshmallow was deliberate after Elsa learned about Olaf, and much more powerful. They [[CurbStompBattle have a one sided fight]] while the heroes are trying to escape.
* WhenSheSmiles: In the post-credits scene, he picks up Elsa's old tiara and grins so brightly that he loses his SpikesOfVillainy. Also shows up in the storybook, "An Amazing Snowman", where he's initially alone but ends up smiling with his brother Olaf, and later with the rest of his family.

* MythologyGag: He's named after one of the main characters in ''The Snow Queen''.
* UndyingLoyalty: Was amongst the servants who remained after King Agnarr reduced the staff and remain loyal to Anna and Elsa even after Elsa's powers were revealed.

->'''Voiced by:''' N/A
Tiny snow creatures Elsa accidentally creates when she sneezes throughout "Frozen Fever".
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Averted for Olaf, he's ecstatic to have little brothers and doesn't mind their chaos. Kristoff and Sven don't share his opinion.
* ArmlessBiped: None of them have arms.
* BigEater: They try to eat Anna's birthday cake, but settle for slices. Those slices are still bigger than them, but they have no trouble eating them.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: A possible gender inversion is implied, as Olaf named one of the Snowgies "Crystal", which is normally a girl's name. All of the Snowgies look the same, so how Olaf can tell them apart, much less what gender they are, is unknown. Granted they are made of snow, and don't actually have genders.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Elsa finally notices them, one stays behind with her. As the rest are celebrating Anna's birthday, the one that stayed behind is being observed by Elsa as it just stares at her while hopping.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Since their appearance in ''Frozen Fever'', they've been featured in numerous storybooks and the ''Lego Frozen Northern Lights'' short.
* OddNameOut: Olaf gave all of them snow and ice-related names, save for "William".
* PerpetualSmiler: 90% of their appearance in ''Frozen Fever'' alone involves smiling.
* RuleOfSymbolism: While Olaf represented Elsa's sisterly love for Anna and Marshmallow represented her desire for solitude, the Snowgies represent her more playful side.
* ShoutOut: A FreezeFrameBonus shows one of them resembles a small [[Disney/BigHero6 Baymax]].
* {{Snowlems}}: Par for the course for creatures created by Elsa's magic.
* UnexplainedRecovery: More like unexplained ''resistance''. No explanation is given for why they don't melt since they lack personal snow clouds like Olaf and Anna's birthday is in the Summer.

[[caption-width-right:258: "I don't trust your judgment! Who marries a man she just met?"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JonathanGroff
->(8-year-old Kristoff) '''Voiced by:''' Tyree Brown
An ice harvester of Arendelle who spurns human companionship for animals and the Trolls. He becomes a personal wilderness guide to Anna to help her on her quest.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Olaf constantly calling him Sven is a RunningGag in the film. Anna also called him Kristoffer/Christopher once.
* {{Adorkable}}: Such as when he subs the words for Sven, or when he falls for Anna. This is to show that he's genuinely adorkable, in private as well as around humans.
* AllThereInTheManual: Kristoff is a member of the Sami people (the indigenous peoples of far northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland); perhaps not coincidentally, they are the only peoples in that region with the right to herd reindeer. Not so much hidden if you actually are Scandinavian, [[ShownTheirWork those pointy shoes were a dead giveaway]]. Same goes for his last name—it was never stated in the film, but the Essential Guide reveals that it's Bjorgman.
** As does the Disney on Ice show, with an exchange that would have made sense to be in the film considering the AccidentalMisnaming:
--->'''Anna:''' I'm Princess Anna, from Arendelle.
--->'''Kristoff:''' And I'm Kristoff Bjorgman, from nowhere-in-particular.
* AmazonChaser: After Anna hits one of the wolves chasing her and Kristoff, the latter utters a very impressed "Whoa!"
* BecomingTheMask: Inverted - Kristoff has put on a mask of being tough and untouchable for so long that he has come to believe it and it's Anna's job to remove the mask.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica (manly ice farmer) to Hans's Betty (cultured prince) for Anna's Archie.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: "... Wait, what?"
* BrutalHonesty: Has no problem telling the Princess of Arendelle that he doesn't trust her judgement because she became engaged to a guy on the first day they met.
* ButtMonkey: Gets attacked by wolves while dragged behind a sled, tries and fails to stop Anna from angering a snow golem, is covered in ice and snow in several scenes, and he's unlucky enough to be transporting ice when Arendelle froze over (rendering his duty kinda moot).
* CharacterDevelopment: In the sequel short, ''Frozen Fever'', Kristoff's softer side is shown to have grown, and become a more prominent side of his personality. With Elsa, he is shown to be fairly laid-back, comforting, and encouraging, looking on the brighter side of a situation, no matter the level of importance. Nevertheless, he is still shown to become flustered around Anna, as a result of his affections for her.
* ChildhoodFriends: Been friends with Sven since they were kids.
%%* CoolBigBro: interactions with Sven and the younger trolls.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: {{Implied}}. Before he was taken in by the trolls, Kristoff was apparently an orphan and only had Sven as a companion, the other humans being apparently mean to him.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Kristoff's clothing is primarily black and very dark brown, and even the fur lining his clothes is a dark grey. Even the red sash and collar that punctuate his clothes are of dark shades. Dark clothing is more appropriate to wear in cold weather, since darker color clothes tend to absorb heat better. Considering where Kristoff goes most of the time, it would make sense for him to wear dark clothes to keep warm. By comparison, Hans wears dark clothing in many of his outdoor scenes in the second half of the movie, both because he's villainous and again, because it's practical for the conditions.
* DeadpanSnarker: His dialogue is mostly snark at whoever he happens to be talking to, and always in a deadpan manner. Example:
-->'''Kristoff:''' You wanna talk to me about supply and demand problems? I sell ''ice'' for a living.
* DefrostingIceKing: Becomes more and more comfortable around Anna. He even becomes her official boyfriend in the epilogue. In ''Frozen Fever'', he declares his love for her come his part in ''Making Today A Perfect Day''.
* EmotionallyTongueTied: He acquires a shyer, more awkward side once he falls in love with Anna.
-->'''Kristoff:''' I could kiss you! I-I could. I mean, I'd like to--may I? We me? I mean, may we--[[BorrowedCatchphrase wait, what?]]
* FarmBoy: In the ice harvester variant. He was doing his job and just happened to bump into a princess who was on a quest and got drafted into it.
* {{Foil}}: To Hans in every way, from start all the way to finish - even in the façades they present to the world. Their designs are also radically different, with Hans being the traditional slim and average height Disney hero and Kristoff being very tall, broad-shouldered and bulky.
* FourthDateMarriage: ''Heavily'' ridicules Anna for wanting to marry Hans despite her having met him ''less than a day ago'', even going so far as to say that he doesn't trust her judgement as a result. Defied between him and Anna at the end where Anna explicitly says she wants to "date" him instead of marry him.
* FreudianExcuse: The way the ice miners treated him may well have made him a misanthrope, and while being [[HappilyAdopted adopted by trolls]] may have made him less of a Jerkass than Hans, Anna was really the first ''human'' friend he ever had.
* GenderFlip: Kristoff is based off of the Robber Girl from the original tale.
* GoodCounterpart: To the richer and princely yet manipulative and conniving Hans, to whom Kristoff also serves as a foil.
* GoodSamaritan: Anna's "request" of him was simply to help guide her through the wilderness and reach Elsa's Ice Palace. Throughout the trip, he goes above and beyond doing ''just'' that.
* GrumpyBear: In the beginning, he has a sour disposition. He defrosts though by the end.
* HairstyleInertia: Has the same hairstyle he had as a young boy.
* HappilyAdopted: Since the trolls adopted Kristoff and Sven, they have loved and nurtured them both.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: He was raised first by ice miners who ignored him, and then by trolls, and in one of his first scenes after the TimeSkip, he sings a song about reindeer being better than people but smelling worse.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Falls in love with and becomes a couple with [[FieryRedhead Anna]].
* HeroicBuild: Most Disney Heroes have a build more like Hans, with a perfect embracing height of about 5'8". They all look like tennis players. Kristoff is over 6' tall with broad shoulders, and big feet and hands. His overall build is genuinely stocky. When we first see him as an adult, he's large enough that he gets slightly ominous music, having to bend down to get into Oaken's Trading Post, and clearly towering over Anna. It's a design that ''helps'' to prolong our delusions regarding Hans.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: A humorous, lighthearted example is his lullaby to Sven, in which he says that he's the only human who smells as unpleasant as a reindeer.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sven which is {{lampshaded|Trope}} by the trolls who say his "thing" is "outside of nature's laws".
* HiddenHeartOfGold: He'll always do the right thing...even if it takes some subtle (and occasionally not-so-subtle) prompting from [[TheConscience Sven.]] Or Anna.
* HomelessHero: {{Implied|Trope}} to be this with Sven. After Kristoff is thrown out of Oaken's shop, he crashes in Oaken's barn. Aside from the trolls, Kristoff probably takes to crashing in peoples' barns.
* {{Hunk}}: Contrasting Hans's more slim and cool appearance. Kristoff instead is modeled after the "ruggedly handsome" look (in spite of the shot at his "unmanly blondness").
* IneffectualLoner: Kristoff generally does not like interacting with other humans, and simply performs honest work with his reindeer companion. However, Kristoff is clearly not doing terribly well all on his own, needing to crash in random barn houses and being barely able to afford daily necessities (he's only able to get his climbing gear and carrots because Anna buys them along with her own boots and dress).
* InterspeciesAdoption: He (human) and Sven (reindeer) were both adopted by trolls.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Sort of. Kristoff seems to believe that even if it's been kind of fast, Anna can get her TrueLovesKiss from Hans. He chooses to leave her at the castle, and even knowing he loves her, decides it's better that he leave her with Hans.
* JerkassHasAPoint: No matter how rude he is, there is always a point behind his rudeness.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Openly bickers with Anna and calls her out when she doesn't think things through... yet also does everything in his power to help her when it counts. One need only look at all the "heart of gold" tropes that apply to the man. Notably, this helps enforce him being a foil to Hans as his inverse; everything Kristoff does for Anna is ''genuine'' in intent.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Sans the armor...though he probably wouldn't admit it. At heart, he bears this trope in spirit, and his daring sequence in the finale brings it to the forefront.
* LampshadeHanging: Does this ''heavily'' when he hears about Anna [[FourthDateMarriage wanting to marry Hans despite just meeting him]], and makes a few good points on why that may not be wise. Unfortunately, Kristoff turned out to be right.
* NatureLover: He has been described as a "true outdoors man".
* NervesOfSteel: Sees that hungry, strong, adult wolves are coming? Keeps his cool while saying "Sven, go. GO!" and manages to kick one away with just his foot.
* NiceGuy: At the end of the film as he becomes this to show that Hans wasn't really a [[BitchInSheepsClothing nice guy]] after all.
* NiceHat: The hat he is seen with is a standard hat for ice harvesters.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: As the rough, ill-tempered troll's kid, he appears to be the Roguish male to Hans' Noble Male. It's subverted, as Hans's true character is Machiavellian and he uses the noble ruse as a tool to usurp the throne, while Kristoff's persona was implied by the trolls to have been created to protect himself from being hurt emotionally and hide his inner kindness and goodness.
* NoseNuggets: Claims that all guys eat their boogers.
* NoSocialSkills: {{Justified|Trope}} since part of his life he was raised by trolls. It was even lampshaded by a member of his adoptive troll family; "or that he's socially impaired".
* OfficialCouple: With Anna, although they are not married by the movie's end.
* OneHeadTaller: With Anna. He's taller than her by a head and is also built much larger.
* OnlySaneMan: He's more practical than Anna and Olaf, and is the only one to think to tell Olaf just what exactly happens to snow in summer. Anna won't let him. With Anna being the hopeless romantic she is, he was quite suspicious of suddenly accepting a marriage proposal from Hans. Kristoff eventually turned out to be right.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: A minor example. Kristoff usually talks for [[LoyalAnimalCompanion Sven]] when the latter is "acting as his conscience" in the middle of a moral dilemma. Towards the end of the movie, when Kristoff has no idea what Sven is trying to communicate to him, it's a sign that Kristoff is ''very'' deep in denial about being in love with Anna.
* ThePigPen: His lack of hygiene is a RunningGag: he eats a saliva covered carrot (it was Sven's saliva, but still, gross), only ever relieves himself in the woods, and (by his own admission) smells worse than a reindeer. The trolls say he's smelly no matter how much he washes, and Olaf describes him as "a pungent reindeer king."
* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: The Rude Hero to Hans's Polite Villain. Even after TheReveal, Hans is still smooth, charming, and well-dressed in contrast to Kristoff, who is the snarky, impolite and sometimes insensitive Tritagonist of the film.
* RaceLift: In the Disney version, Kristoff is Caucasian. In the musical, he is played by an African-American actor.
* RaisedByWolves: Kristoff was raised by trolls, and yet he ''still'' has a better grasp of human society than the very sheltered Princess Anna, as seen by his disbelief in marrying Hans, who she's only known for hours.
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: The unglamorous, working-class poor suitor to Hans's suave, royal rich suitor.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Anna. She is a spunky princess willing to do whatever it takes to bring her sister home, he is a grumpy, rough-around-the-edges ice harvester helping her along the way.
* ScarfOfAssKicking: He wears a scarf around his waist and proves to be a badass.
* SecondLove: To Anna. Her first love, Hans, turned out to be a complete jerk who never loved her.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Kristoff is the Manly Mountain Man to Hans' gentlemanly Sensitive Guy. It turns out that Hans is actually the sinister villain, and Kristoff is actually a sensitive guy beneath his rugged exterior.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Tries to convince his adoptive family of this about Anna. [[ShipperOnDeck They don't believe him.]]
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Kristoff has no problems with doing his dangerous ice harvester jobs (which includes taking on wolves) or climbing down a mountain. But interacting with humans and expressing his {{adorkable}} love for Anna is the hard part.
* StraightMan: Quite notably, midst a cast of colorful and larger-than-life characters in a world to match, Kristoff appears to be more of a straight-man, reacting to the various, mystical situations he and the other characters encounter with a generally down-to-earth viewpoint.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: In spite of his loner nature, and dislike for society, Kristoff has a loving heart, and at his core, is rather harmless, innocent, and protective. This is first evidenced by his relationship with his reindeer and best friend, Sven, whom he treats as his pet and closest friend, and he's shown to value the reindeer's life above his own several times. Kristoff's inner softness and loving aura is further emphasized by his family, the trolls, who reveal Kristoff to be, despite his various flaws and shortcomings, sensitive and sweet when given the same treatment, which he proves through his friendship and eventual relationship with Anna.
* TalkingToHimself: An in-universe example; Sven isn't a TalkingAnimal, so Kristoff sometimes provides a "voice" for him when they're alone. Hilariously, it's always Sven who "wins" any argument.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Initially, Kristoff has little love for his employer, Anna, and only assists her because he has an interest in stopping Elsa from making more and more ice. During their initial ascent, Kristoff teases her, especially regarding her rapid courtship with Hans and only begins to warm up to her after he finds she might be in mortal peril.
* {{Tritagonist}}: Third in the protagonist line behind Anna and Elsa. He's as important as they are, and has more screen time than other characters, but not as much as the sisters.
* TookALevelInKindness: He becomes completely kind, selfless and polite at the end to contrast with Hans' ruthless personality.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Like Sven, he has a fondness for carrots.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: The opening showed that Kristoff wasn't always the gruff, rude jerk he grew up to be.
* VoiceForTheVoiceless: He speaks for Sven in his "reindeer voice".
* WatchThePaintJob: Kristoff chides Anna for touching the lacquer on his sled. Of course, the sled smashes to pieces later on, and then catches on fire. After he just paid it off. Thankfully, by movie's end, the crown reimburses him for the lost sleigh.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sven_pose.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' N/A
Kristoff's lovable pet reindeer.
----
* ActionPet: His biology has made him this; capable of leaping a wide ravine, surviving frigid waters, tearing through blizzards at breakneck speed, keeping ahead of wolves while towing a large sled, and pulling Kristoff and Anna out of holes and away from trouble while only eating a bunch of carrots, his favourite snack, and probably moss.
* {{Adorkable}}: Mix in his clumsiness, love for carrots, and facial expressions, and Sven counts.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Has the mannerisms of a dog more than a reindeer. Unlike some movies, this is deliberately pulled off for humour.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude:
** He's clearly got a better grasp of what's going on than a normal reindeer might.
** In ''Frozen Fever'', he can slice a three-tiered ice cream cake into perfectly straight, equal-sized wedges... with his ''antlers.''
* BadassAdorable: Sven is also an adorable reindeer.
* CharacterTics: He has a tendency to lick both people and inanimate objects. Kristoff, Olaf, the [[TongueOnTheFlagpole staircase at Elsa's ice castle]], carrots, you name it, he's probably licked it.
* ChildhoodFriends: Has known Kristoff since they were kids.
* TheConscience: To Kristoff. Played with, as most of the time, Kristoff himself is the one actually making the argument. It's played straight near the end, though, when Sven proves he doesn't need Kristoff to speak for him to get his meaning across.
* CoolPet: This reindeer jumped a gorge! That's pretty awesome.
* CuteMute: This reindeer is silly, snarky and lovable, and yet he does not say a single word the entire movie.
* DisneyDeath: It's small in comparison to everything happening when it does, but he manages to buck Kristoff off to safety during their breakneck run in the climactic blizzard when the fjord's icy surface cracks underneath them and sends him into the freezing waters below. It takes a harrowing moment, but he surfaces not long after. This is justified, since reindeer/caribou are easily capable of swimming even in icy arctic waters; the main peril comes because the audience knows if a horse or human fell inside, it would probably be fatal.
* {{Expy}}: Sven is based on "Bae" from the original ''Snow Queen''.
* HappilyAdopted: As a young reindeer, he and a child Kristoff were taken in, loved, and nurtured by trolls.
* HeroicSacrifice: Almost, see DisneyDeath above. When he surfaces, he urges Kristoff to keep moving while he's stuck out on a small ice platform.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Kristoff were both adopted by the trolls and, until Anna, was his only friend.
* HomelessHero: {{Implied}} to be this with Kristoff, after the latter was thrown out of Oaken's shop they go to a barn. His family lives out in the open because they are trolls.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Sven (reindeer) and Kristoff (human) have a familial bond with their family of trolls.
* TheLancer: For Kristoff. Not only as his steadfast backup, but Sven creates a contrast with Kristoff by being the more reasonable and generous of the two.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: To Kristoff. The two have been together since childhood.
* MoralityChain: {{Implied}} to be this for Kristoff since WordOfGod described Sven as "the conscience" for Kristoff.
* NiceGuy: Sven is sweet, loyal, playful, and has a strong moral center.
* NonHumanSidekick: To Kristoff, because he's a reindeer.
* OnlyFriend: Sven has been this to Kristoff since they were kids.
* ParentalAbandonment: No idea what became of Sven's mother or herd, any more than we know what happened to Kristoff's parents.
* PluckyComicRelief: Like Olaf, he provides levity in a number of places; however he's not a magical creature and still quite vulnerable. He proves his pluckiness by taking a dive into a frozen fjord and coming out relatively none the worse for wear.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Kristoff and Anna, such as convincing him to go back to her.
* {{Sidekick}}: To Kristoff and Olaf in market sales.
* SilentSnarker: When he tries to convince Kristoff to admit his feelings to Anna.
* TalkingAnimal: Downplayed; he cannot talk, but Kristoff likes to pretend he can, playing both sides of their conversation. Also, Sven makes appropriate gesticulations for his part of the conversation. He just can't make the sounds himself.
%%* TeamPet: Of the heroes.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sven has a fondness for carrots. [[RunningGag He keeps going after Olaf's nose]].
* UndyingLoyalty: To Kristoff and later Anna, Elsa, and Olaf.
* TheSpeechless: He doesn't have any lines in the film, just reindeer grunts and groans.

[[caption-width-right:191: "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JoshGad
The first snow golem made by Elsa. He dreams of enjoying the summer.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Due to a misunderstanding, Olaf believes that Kristoff's name is 'Sven'. Olaf continues to call him that until the Trolls correct him; he does use the right name when revealing to Anna that Kristoff loves her.
* {{Adorkable}}: Olaf runs on adorable dorky antics.
* AdvertisedExtra: [[NeverTrustATrailer The trailers]] make it looks like the film is largely his adventure. He doesn't show up officially until the second half of the movie.
* AllLovingHero: Olaf just wants his friends to be safe and happy.
* AmusingInjuries: He never feels any pain from things like "impaling", which is what keeps it amusing.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Initially believes Kristoff to be insane because he starts interacting with rocks like they're people (and, as it turns out, they ''are'' magical rock-people), when he's a sentient, animated snowman.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: He's adorable, especially compared to his EvilCounterpart Marshmallow.
* BigNo: Screams this as he tries to stop Marshmallow from pursuing Anna and Kristoff. Unfortunately, his size means he's no match for the larger snowman.
-->'''Olaf:''' This is not making much of a difference, isn't it?!
* BreakoutCharacter: Apart from Anna and Elsa, he's the most popular Frozen character and has almost as much merchandise as the sisters.
* ButtMonkey: He's subject to all kinds of slapstick and AmusingInjuries throughout the film.
* CatchPhrase: "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!", a {{Callback}} to when Elsa and Anna first built him.
* ChekhovsGunman: The sisters first built him when they were children. He was later rebuilt by Elsa and becomes important for the rest of the film.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A light version, as he is always happy and doesn't seem to understand that warmth is bad for him, as his biggest dream is to see summer, but is capable of great wisdom.
-->'''Kristoff:''' I'm gonna tell him.\\
'''Anna:''' Don't you dare!
* CreatingLifeIsUnforeseen: Elsa didn't consciously bring him to life, it just happened. His creation in general is sort of like a FreudianSlip, as Elsa unconsciously makes him while singing about how she's letting go of the past.
* CuddleBug: The very first thing he informs people of, other than his name, is that he "likes warm hugs." There is also a tie-in book featuring his character that is titled ''Do You Want a Hug?''
* DissonantSerenity: Can be seen ''smiling'' when Elsa creates Marshmallow to kick him, Anna, and Kristoff out. He also seems quite calm when Marshmallow forcefully tosses them all out of the ice palace. This is most likely due to his innocent, optimistic, and friendly nature; he just isn't seeing the danger.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As one sentence in ''The Secret Admirer" puts it: Olaf liked everyone and everything, but even Olaf did not like [[HateSink Hans of the Southern Isles]].
* {{Foil}}: Olaf is Elsa's inner desires come to life in exaggerated form. She withdrew from others for fear of hurting them. He loves physical contact even if it hurts him, [[RunningGag many, many times]].
* FriendToAllChildren: {{Implied}} when we see him dancing with some of the troll children during "Fixer Upper".
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: His {{Snowlem}} nature makes him NighInvulnerable to any kind of damage save heat, which comes in handy due to his frequent AmusingInjuries.
* HasTwoMommies: Elsa and Anna first built him as little girls.
* HealingFactor: Since he's a snowman, he can't die or be truly injured unless he melts.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: A non-lethal version that is PlayedForLaughs when he walks into an icicle without looking. It amuses him more than anything. "Ha-ha, I've been impaled."
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Olaf is literally the embodiment of childhood love and innocence. Elsa inadvertently created him from her memories of such.
* IronButtMonkey: Though most of his injuries are self-inflicted by his own mistakes, it doesn't stop him from being chipper.
* {{Irony}}: He is a snowman who wants to see summer and doesn't realize he'll melt. In the finale, Elsa gives him a [[PersonalRaincloud personal flurry that allows him to enjoy summer without melting.]]
* IWantSong: "In Summer", in which Olaf sings of how wonderful it would be to experience Summer. The fact that he's a snowman notwithstanding.
* KidAppealCharacter: The classic Disney non-human companion.
* KindheartedSimpleton: {{Downplayed}}. Olaf isn't a "simpleton", but he can be ''childish'' and still retain his NiceGuy attitude.
* LiteralMinded: When Anna tells him to "give [her and Elsa] a minute" at the ice castle, he counts to 60 before going in after her.
* LoveInformant: It's thanks to Olaf that Anna gets to know that Kristoff is in love with her.
* MeaningfulName: Is named after [[UsefulNotes/PatronSaints St. Olaf,]] a founding king of Norway and its patron saint.
* NeverLearnedToRead: In ''Frozen Fever'', he points this out when asked to help with a banner for Anna's birthday. When he tries to help anyway, he rearranges the letters into a nonsense phrase.
* NiceGuy: He always does everything he can to help his friends.
* NighInvulnerable: He suffers a lot of AmusingInjuries and is always falling apart, but his components never break apart. The only thing that can actually kill him is heat, and even that's not an issue when Elsa summons a personal snow cloud for him.
* NonHumanSidekick: To Anna, being a snowman and all.
* TheNoseless: When he first meets Anna and Kristoff. Anna gives him a carrot nose, which Sven occasionally tries to eat.
-->"It's like a little baby unicorn!"
* OurPhlebotinumChild: First built by Anna and Elsa as children, then bought to life by Elsa's magic years later.
* PerpetualSmiler: About 99% of his screentime has him with a smile on his face.
* PersonalRaincloud: Elsa gives Olaf a personal ''flurry'' once the eternal winter ends, so he can enjoy the season without melting.
* PluckyComicRelief: He provides a lot of the film's humor.
* ThePollyanna: Despite all the injuries he suffers, he never loses his optimism. Even as he melts under the summer sun after Elsa restores the climate, he's cheerful (though Elsa quickly rectifies that with an endless winter in microcosm just for Olaf).
* PurityPersonified: WordOfGod confirmed that Olaf is the sisterly love of Elsa and Anna given a solid form.
* RuleOfSymbolism: One of the directors says he symbolizes the love between Anna and Elsa.
* ShipperOnDeck: Olaf comments on how Kristoff deeply loves Anna.
* ShooOutTheClowns: During the blizzard at the climax, he's blown away by the storm and not seen again until Anna's frozen solid.
* SimpleMindedWisdom: A simple pep talk from the naive, oddball, silly snowlem of all things... is what snaps Anna back from Hans's betrayal.
* {{Snowlem}}: Based on a mundane snowman Elsa had made with Anna when they were little. He was the first sentient snowman Elsa created, though she didn't even initially know he was alive.
* SpannerInTheWorks: If he hadn't found Anna after Hans left her for dead and led her outside, Hans's plot to kill Elsa and take the throne would have succeeded.
* TooDumbToLive: He loves all things warm and wants to experience summer, not realizing that heat is deadly to him.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He has a fondness for ice cream, which is why he took a bite of Anna's birthday cake behind everyone's back.
* {{Tulpa}}: He starts out as a funny character Elsa invents to amuse Anna when they are kids. Years later, Elsa's magic made him real without her even knowing it. Even ''Elsa's'' surprised when he shows up walking and talking in her castle, since she still remembers him.
-->'''Olaf:''' ....58, 59, 60!
-->'''Elsa:''' Wait. What is that?
-->''[Olaf comes running across the foyer]''
-->'''Olaf:''' HI! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!
-->'''Elsa:''' ''Olaf??''
-->'''Olaf:''' You built me! Remember that?
-->'''Elsa:''' And you're alive?
-->'''Olaf:''' Yeah, um......I think so?
* UndyingLoyalty: When he starts a fire to keep Anna warm, he discovers that he'll melt if he comes into contact with heat. Despite this, he chooses to stand by Anna as her curse slowly freezes her.
-->'''Anna''': Olaf...you're melting.
-->'''Olaf''': Some people are worth melting for. (''{{Beat}}'') [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Just maybe not this second]].

->'''Pabbie Voiced by:''' Ciaran Hinds\\
'''Bulda Voiced by:''' Maia Wilson\\
'''Baby Troll Voiced by:''' Annie Lopez\\
'''Gothi the Troll Priest Voiced by:''' Jack Whitehall
Boulder-like magical creatures who helped the king and queen save Anna from Elsa's magic when the sisters were children. Also Kristoff's adoptive family.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Originally they were evil and selfish. Here, they may be meddlesome, but they're also kind and always willing to help.
* AllThereInTheManual: ''Frozen: The Essential Guide'' says that they turn to rocks during the day, although this is never seen in the movie.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: They look like moss-covered boulders when sleeping/hiding, and are very friendly towards humans, hence why they accept Kristoff as a family member.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: To Kristoff by listing all of his flaws. They're actually an entire amazingly embarrassing ''family'' Of trolls.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Some of the Troll kids behave like this towards Kristoff such as the one who says he "only likes to tinkle in the woods" (but they love him anyway).
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: They wear moss as clothing but nothing on their feet.
%%* BigBrotherWorship: The younger trolls show this towards Kristoff.
* BrutalHonesty: Pabbie when he tells and shows a ''child'' what will happen if she doesn't control her powers. One of the things he shows her is presumbably ''being killed by an angry mob''.
%%* TheChiefsDaughter: Bulda is the daughter of [[TheLeader Pabbie]].
* CrowdSong: "Fixer Upper", which has every other line sung by a different troll in the group.
* CutenessProximity: Bulda decides to adopt Kristoff and Sven because they were "cuties".
* ExactWords: ''Both'' sets of advice handed down by Pabbie get taken for their worth at face value. The former leads to Elsa's repression (it wasn't the ''people's'' fear she needed to worry about, it was ''her own fear'') while the latter was too open to interpretation and starts an assumption by his fellow Trolls that Anna takes to heart.
* {{Expy}}: The trolls are based off of "The Robbers" from ''The Snow Queen''.
* TheFairFolk: Averted. They never act malicious towards humans.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Mainly in their song where none of them finish a line that they start.
* HappilyMarried: Bulda and Cliff, Kristoff's adoptive parents. They even give Kristoff and who they think is his girlfriend advice on how to make a happy marriage.
* HiddenInPlainSight: They appear as rocks when they aren't active. Hilariously, when Kristoff tries to introduce them to Anna and Olaf, the latter two momentarily believe he's insane.
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Bulda adopts Kristoff and Sven as soon as she meets them, simply because they're cute.
* TheLeader: Pabbie is the leader of the trolls.
* {{Love Freak}}s: Their song "Fixer Upper" which is all about the virtues of love.
%%* MyBelovedSmother: Bulda, Kristoff's adoptive mother.
* NiceGuy: The trolls may be overbearing and inappropriate, but they mean well and love Kristoff a lot.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Pabbie removes Anna's memories of Elsa's magic under the vague assurance that it's for the best, then shows Elsa graphic depictions of what will happen if she doesn't learn to control her powers -- but never tells her how she should go about doing so. Both of these actions prove to be disastrous.
* OnlySaneMan: Pabbie is this because he's the only one not involved in "Fixer Upper".
* ParentalSubstitute: Specifically, Cliff and Bulda are this to Kristoff and Sven because they adopted the pair.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The female trolls wear pink or red crystal necklaces, while male trolls wear blue or green crystal necklaces. Pabbie's the only one to wear a yellow crystal necklace, which could signify his role as the leader of the trolls.
* PoorCommunicationKills: A lot of trouble could have been avoided if they had been a ''little'' more clear. Their proclamation that fear will be Elsa's greatest enemy was accompanied by a representation of what looked like angry townspeople attacking her (an honest concern), even though they meant her fear rather than the people's (which turned out to be even more dangerous).
* PowerOfLove: They firmly believe in this. Bulda says it is "powerful and strange".
* PunnyName: Most of their names reference the fact they are rocks. In fact, Clay's name was [[DubNameChange changed in the Swedish dub]] to Sten -- literally "Stone", and a real name in Swedish.
* ScoutOut: The troll child that earned his fire crystal is called a "Troll Scout Kid" in the script. Evidently, crystals are stand-ins for badges.
* ShipperOnDeck: Ship Anna and Kristoff quite gleefully. It's the root point of "Fixer Upper".
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: They are not in any adverts, especially before the movie came out, despite showing up in the film's prologue in a fairly important role. For a while, the only clip was of two of them dancing with Olaf, though later adverts showed clips from their song.
* SqueakyEyes: Whenever the Trolls blink in unison.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The female trolls have at least one [[FlowerInHerHair flower in their hair]], the males don't.

[[folder:Oaken]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oakenfrozen.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "Hoohoo! Big summer blowout!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Chris Williams
The owner of Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna. Like Kristoff, his business was changed into taking advantage of the new weather once it was changed by Elsa's magic.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: Beside his soft and somewhat effeminate personality, his family in the sauna notably consists of a young man and four children. However, it isn't clear if the young man is his partner or a different relative (such as a younger brother or cousin).
* ApologeticAttacker: Sort of. After he throws Kristoff out for calling him a "crook," Oaken immediately apologizes -- to Anna, because she had to witness him committing an act of violence in his store.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't like being called a crook. What makes it funnier is that he's still nice about it. He's less angry than he is ''hurt'' when he stands up.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: "''Vhat'' did you call me?" ''[cuts to Oaken hauling Kristoff to the front porch and throwing him into the snow]''
* BigBeautifulMan: Oaken is a big man and quite a cutie.
* CatchPhrase: "HOO-hoo!"
* CreatorCameo: He's voiced by Disney director and writer Chris Williams.
* FunnyForeigner: He has a thick Swedish accent, and some very stereotypical mannerisms.
* GentleGiant: He's sweet and pleasant for the most part, but when Kristoff makes the mistake of calling him a crook, he gets up out of his chair... revealing himself to be ''massive'', utterly towering over Kristoff (who himself is a pretty big, muscular guy). He then bodily throws Kristoff out with no effort whatsoever.
* HonestJohnsDealership: He tries to demand more money from Kristoff than Kristoff has in his pockets, and tries to justify his outrageous price gouging as a supply-and-demand problem. It's no wonder Kristoff [[BerserkButton calls him a "crook".]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: To show his pure and sweet nature.
* LargeAndInCharge: Is thrice bigger and larger than his family and is the one who runs the FamilyBusiness.
* NiceGuy: See GentleGiant. [[BerserkButton Just don't call him a crook]].
* NiceHat: Which totally matches his sweater.
* NoHeroDiscount: Doesn't matter how his business is doing, Kristoff has to pay for those carrots, the axe, and the rope. In fact, he jacked up the prices of his winter gear quite outrageously due to "supply and demand". This is despite outright stating that ''nobody'' was out in the blizzard except Anna and Kristoff and knowing full well that anyone who needed the ice pick and rope probably wouldn't survive without them. Subverted in ''Disney/FrozenFever'' when he gives away a cold remedy to Elsa and Anna, singing, genuinely concerned:
-->'''Oaken:''' What, are you sick? How about a cold remedy, of my own invention?
* StoutStrength: He effortlessly throws Kristoff out of his house when his BerserkButton was pushed.
* TranquilFury: He eighty-sixes Kristoff without losing his happy persona at all; however, he is by no means a StepfordSmiler, as his smile briefly fades after Kristoff makes the mistake of calling him a crook.

[[folder:Marshmallow]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marshmallow_transparent.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"DON'T COME '''BAAAAAAAAACK'''!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Paul Briggs
A large snow golem created by Elsa to keep people out of her castle.
----
* AntiVillain: All he wants to do is make sure that both he and Elsa are left alone. However, he is a little '''too''' protective of Elsa for his own good.
* BigLittleBrother: Marshmallow was built by Elsa after she created Olaf; while the latter is small and friendly, the former is huge and intimidating. So, Marshmallow is technically Olaf's "baby" brother. This is more obvious in early concept art that originally envisioned Marshmallow as looking like Olaf if Olaf were about twenty times larger than he actually is, with giant tree trunks for arms.
* BerserkButton: Do not throw a snowball at Happy Fun Marshmallow. He'll immediately flip out and give you a chase.
* {{Bouncer}}: It's his job to keep people out of Elsa's castle.
* BrickJoke: Remember that tiara Elsa threw away in "Let It Go"? Well, after the credits are over, Marshmallow is revealed to have survived his fall into the chasm. He finds it lying on the floor of the castle and puts it on, smiling to himself.
* CainAndAbel: Since he doesn't hesitate on striking his "brother" Olaf...Ironically, he's also the "good son" of the pair because he's doing exactly what his "mother" told him to do.
* CreatorCameo: Marshmallow is voiced by Paul Briggs, who was the head of storywriting.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Falls into a chasm after Hans cuts his leg off. TheStinger [[DisneyDeath reveals that he survived]].
* DubNameChange: The Spanish dub renamed him ''Merengue'' because marshmallows are not very well known in Spain.
* EvilCounterpart: A larger, more dangerous version of Olaf. This was more explicit in early designs, where Marshmallow was essentially Olaf, but bigger and more menacing looking, with giant ''tree trunks'' for arms.
* FluffyTheTerrible: You wouldn't expect a massive Snowlem to be named ''Marshmallow''.
* GlowingEyes: Marshmallow's empty eye sockets glow blue when he's enraged.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he's about to attack, they shine.
* GoneHorriblyRight: He takes his duty to protect Elsa ''too'' seriously, given how viciously he chased after Anna and her companions even after they were leaving, something that Elsa wouldn't have wanted. Although this might have been because Anna provoked him by throwing a snowball at him (as he seemed perfectly content to just walk away after tossing them out), and even then, he didn't physically harm Anna directly after pulling her back up from the cliff.
* HealingFactor: Implied, since he survived getting his leg cut off and falling into a gorge. Being made of snow in a snow mountain helps.
* HiddenDepths: At the end of the film, when returning to the ice palace, he is shown smiling and letting out a happy sigh after placing Elsa's old tiara on his head. This possibly hints that while he represents her desire to be alone, he could also contain some aspects of her innocence.
* HiddenInPlainSight: Hides by the staircase leading to the ice palace disguised as a pile of snow; he reveals himself when Hans and the search party arrive looking for Anna.
* MeaningfulName: He is white (due to being a [[{{Snowlems}} snowlem]]) and he is named after a ''white'' candy.
* MightyGlacier: He's very big and strong, but lacks quick reflexes. A literal example too, as he's made of ice and snow.
* MookPromotion: He crowns himself the new ruler of Elsa's ice kingdom in the end.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Merely does what Elsa wants him to do.
* NonMaliciousMonster: Since his only purpose is to keep people out of Elsa's palace, he's pretty content with just yelling at them or scaring them away (making him more like a bouncer than a hitman). The only time he actively chases or threatens people is when they provoke him (Anna tossing the snowball and Hans's men shooting him).
* TheNoseless: Unlike Olaf, it's permanent.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Or rather, only given a name by an offhand comment.
* OneManArmy: He's big, he's strong, and he kicks lots of ass! He took the whole Kingdom by himself.
* OneWingedAngel: Marshmallow grows icicle fangs, claws, and spikes when Hans and his men arrive. Earlier, there's a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example when he pursues Kristoff, Anna, and Olaf; it's easy to assume that the number of claws, fangs, and spikes he grows depends on how much of a threat his opponents are. In other words, Marshmallow doesn't grow his claws, fangs, or spikes while chasing those three because Kristoff and Anna are not armed, whereas Hans and his search team were armed with swords and crossbows.
* PoisonousFriend: He's overprotective of Elsa for this reason.
%%* RatedMForManly
* RuleOfSymbolism: While Olaf represents the love Elsa and Anna have, Marshmallow can be interpreted as representing how Elsa wishes to be alone; he's pretty adamant that other people should "GO AWAY!" TheStinger, while intended for humor, takes this further by having Marshmallow smile for the first time...because he's completely alone and is living in Elsa's isolated ice palace.
* {{Snowlems}}: Marshmallow is a large, decidedly unfriendly version. Born of Elsa's desire to be left alone, he is a large, very territorial monster who attempts to forcibly remove anyone who gets near.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Marshmallow grows spikes made of icicles when he becomes angry.
* SuperPersistentPredator: His only purpose is to keep people out of Elsa's castle, but he chases Anna off a cliff just for throwing a snowball at him.
* SuperStrength: His greater size than Oalf naturally means his "muscles" are capable of more.
* TakingYouWithMe: When Hans cuts off Marshmallow's leg, Marshmallow tries to grab at Hans and pull him into the chasm as well.
* TookALevelInKindness: In tie-in comics and ''Frozen Fever'', Marshmallow shows his friendlier side. For example, at the end of ''Frozen Fever'' when Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven visit him again, Marshmallow shows no hostility and the trio show no signs of fear despite their previous history.
* TopHeavyGuy: His arms and torso are massive compared to his legs.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Elsa, and he'll pursue his job with single-minded zeal, as seen when he chased Anna off cliff.
* TheUsurper: PlayedForLaughs. Played with as well, because he finds the tiara Elsa had tossed away in "Let it Go" and "crowns" himself "king" of Elsa's palace... the palace she created in the same song, and not the actual kingdom.
* UpgradeVsPrototypeFight: Olaf being alive was a surprise to Elsa. Marshmallow was deliberate after Elsa learned about Olaf, and much more powerful. They [[CurbStompBattle have a one sided fight]] while the heroes are trying to escape.
* WhenSheSmiles: In the post-credits scene, he picks up Elsa's old tiara and grins so brightly that he loses his SpikesOfVillainy. Also shows up in the storybook, "An Amazing Snowman", where he's initially alone but ends up smiling with his brother Olaf, and later with the rest of his family.

->'''Voiced by:''' Stephen John Anderson
An overseer who serves Arendelle's royal family.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: His name is only revealed in supplementary material. It's never spoken in film.
* MythologyGag: He's named after one of the main characters in ''The Snow Queen''.
* UndyingLoyalty: Was amongst the servants who remained after King Agnarr reduced the staff and remain loyal to Anna and Elsa even after Elsa's powers were revealed.

[[folder:Snowgies]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snowgies.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' N/A
Tiny snow creatures Elsa accidentally creates when she sneezes throughout "Frozen Fever".
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Averted for Olaf, he's ecstatic to have little brothers and doesn't mind their chaos. Kristoff and Sven don't share his opinion.
* ArmlessBiped: None of them have arms.
* BigEater: They try to eat Anna's birthday cake, but settle for slices. Those slices are still bigger than them, but they have no trouble eating them.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: A possible gender inversion is implied, as Olaf named one of the Snowgies "Crystal", which is normally a girl's name. All of the Snowgies look the same, so how Olaf can tell them apart, much less what gender they are, is unknown. Granted they are made of snow, and don't actually have genders.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Elsa finally notices them, one stays behind with her. As the rest are celebrating Anna's birthday, the one that stayed behind is being observed by Elsa as it just stares at her while hopping.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Since their appearance in ''Frozen Fever'', they've been featured in numerous storybooks and the ''Lego Frozen Northern Lights'' short.
* OddNameOut: Olaf gave all of them snow and ice-related names, save for "William".
* PerpetualSmiler: 90% of their appearance in ''Frozen Fever'' alone involves smiling.
* RuleOfSymbolism: While Olaf represented Elsa's sisterly love for Anna and Marshmallow represented her desire for solitude, the Snowgies represent her more playful side.
* ShoutOut: A FreezeFrameBonus shows one of them resembles a small [[Disney/BigHero6 Baymax]].
* {{Snowlems}}: Par for the course for creatures created by Elsa's magic.
* UnexplainedRecovery: More like unexplained ''resistance''. No explanation is given for why they don't melt since they lack personal snow clouds like Olaf and Anna's birthday is in the Summer.
