History Fanon / Frozen

* If you don't ship Elsa with [[IncestYayShipping Anna]], [[FoeYayShipping Hans]], or your random original character, it's quite common for people to assume Elsa is simply not interested in marrying or romance. Sometimes she is {{asexual|ity}} and/or aromantic and [[CelibateHero other times it is a conscious choice]].

* Anna being a {{Hero Worship}}per towards UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc, which is only implied in the film by a throwaway line.

* Anna only refers to Elsa as a "stinker" once in the film when she is talking to herself in the middle of the EndlessWinter, complaining Elsa never told her that she's secretly AnIcePerson. Despite this, the fandom frequently has Anna calling her sister every time she gets mildly frustrated at her, although not when she is really angry at her sister.
* Elsa is often portrayed as DeadpanSnarker in fanfiction. She's usually [[GentlemanSnarker polite and subtle about it]] and [[TheSnarkKnight targets herself as much as other people]].
* It's somewhat less common for Anna but she, too, usually can hold her own in a friendly SnarkToSnarkCombat with her sister or fiancé.

* Since he is an orphan RaisedByWolves, people assume Kristoff NeverLearnedToRead. In ''WesternAnimation/FrozenFever'', he is shown to be able to write “Happy Birthday Anna” but since the short takes place almost a year after ''Frozen'', there is the possibility he learned to write between the first film and ''Fever''.

* Since he is an orphan RaisedByWolves, people assume Kristoff NeverLearnedToRead.

* Kristoff is from a separate tribe of Northuldra. He's previously been confirmed as Sami and he has several parallels with Ryder, but no one mentions him being Northuldra and the mist predates his birth. FanWank is that he's from a different group of Northuldra.

* Although Hans's mother is alive as of the present time as confirmed by the novel, many fans believed that his mother passed away a long time ago to play up his resentment towards his remaining family members, with the story treating her as his MoralityChain.

* Elsa suffers from frequent [[BadDreams night terrors and nightmares]], usually about either accidentally killing Anna or Anna not unfreezing.

** Elsa is also often portrayed as just as bad due to spending so much time inside her room.

* Some fan works portray Hans as a {{pyrokine|sis}}tic to counter Elsa's frost, despite there being nothing supernatural about the character in the canon. Some fans use Hans' gloves and him putting out the fires (as in Hans using his hand to put out a candle) as "evidence" of this power, given the entire motif of "the gloves coming off". Also, it is common for him to wear gloves to suppress his magic.
* Another common fanon reason for Hans always wearing gloves is to hide self-inflicted scars. This comes from ''Literature/AFrozenHeart'' implying that Hans might SelfHarm.

** It's somewhat less common for Anna but she, too, usually can hold her own in a friendly SnarkToSnarkCombat with her sister or fiancé.

* Another interesting theory is that Honeymaren and Ryder are Iduna's parents- they do share resemblance with Iduna. Something may have caused them to remain in a youthful form. The Northuldra leader could have been their father, and Yelana could be their closest cousin. Perhaps they were capable of powerful magic and kept relatively hidden as Northuldra until someone entered the mist 34 years later. Honeymaren is drawn to Elsa due to her similarity to Iduna.

* Both Honeymaren and her brother Ryder are gay. This is because people see HoYay in their interactions with Elsa and Kristoff.

* Oaken being gay is something most of the fandom agrees on. The concept comes from the scene where he says "Woo-hoo, hi family!" and people presumed: A. That is his family. B. The blond man is the only adult. Thus fans consider them a couple [[HasTwoMommies with four kids]]. ''Disney/OlafsFrozenAdventure'' [[SchrodingersCanon portrays]] the family as Oaken's own but doesn't otherwise specify the relations.

* Speaking of connecting Disney universes, a theory was that the parents survive the shipwreck... and end up living in the African jungle raising their new baby who would eventually become {{Disney/Tarzan}}. That theory was initially a joke made up by one of the movie's directors in response to someone telling them about the previous theory, purposefully far-fetched and never meant to be taken seriously. Because the fans considered these crossovers SeriousBusiness, many took this as dead-serious WordOfGod. Chris Buck has repeatedly had to debunk it. It's become firmly jossed with the sequel - Agdar and Iduna went north looking for [[spoiler:Ahtohallan]], not south, and were lost at sea.
* Some fans believe the shipwreck left behind is the one [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] explores at the beginning of the film. The sequel josses this by [[spoiler:showing the boat ended up land-locked]].

* Arendelle as a city-state pops up as much in fanworks as it does as a small country (with the town seen being the capital). The map in "WesternAnimation/FrozenFever" implies it's a country, although ''Disney/OlafsFrozenAdventure'' [[WordOfSaintPaul implies]] it exists inside of Norway (though the novelization of that special is more in line with the ''Frozen Fever'' map). In many fan-works, ''both'' Arendelle and Norway exist, though most fans prefer to think that Arendelle replaces Norway in their FictionalEarth.

* Most fan-works have Elsa switching between fabric clothes and ice clothes in her everyday life. The circumstances differ from fic to fic though: Sometimes she wears fabric clothes in only formal situations, other times she only wears fabric clothes while doing queenly things and wears ice gowns when relaxing, while other fans opt to have her wear ice gowns only on rare occasions and wear fabric on default. Most supplementary material completely avoids this topic by [[LimitedWardrobe only depicting her in her one ice gown]], although ''Disney/OlafsFrozenAdventure'' has her wearing a fabric dress for the occasion (which the novelization establishes was a present from Anna) and ''Frozen II'' shows her in various fabric dresses.

** Another common fanon reason for Hans always wearing gloves is to hide self-inflicted scars. This comes from ''Literature/AFrozenHeart'' implying that Hans might SelfHarm.

* If you don't ship Elsa with [[IncestYayShipping Anna]], [[FoeYayShipping Hans]], or your random original character, it's quite common for people to assume Elsa is simply not interested in marrying or romance. Sometimes she is {{asexual|ity}} and [[CelibateHero other times it is a conscious choice]].

* A popular reading is that Elsa is somewhere on the LGBTQIA spectrum - most likely a lesbian, with asexual as another possibility. She has no male love interest, and her storyline is similar to a ComingOutStory. From early childhood, she knows there's something different about her. She tries to hide this part of her, but suffers miserably for it. The day that she embraces this aspect, and fully owns it, is the day that she becomes comfortable in her own skin and happy with herself. We're... we're talking about the ice powers, right? Many reviewers said that "Let it Go" sounds like a proud and jubilant coming-out anthem, especially with lines like "Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I've tried," and "''That perfect girl is gone!''". Elsa's arc in ''Disney/FrozenII'' also has [[RainbowLens parallels]] to a ComingOutStory.

** Rapunzel and Eugene's cameo has led to the opinion that ''Frozen'' and ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' share the same universe.

* Arendelle as a city-state pops up as much in fanworks as it does as a small country (with the town seen being the capital). The map in ''Disney/FrozenFever'' implies it's a country, although ''Disney/OlafsFrozenAdventure'' [[WordOfSaintPaul implies]] it exists inside of Norway (though the novelization of that special is more in line with the ''Frozen Fever'' map). In many fan-works, ''both'' Arendelle and Norway exist, though most fans prefer to think that Arendelle replaces Norway in their FictionalEarth.

* Elsa being born in summer while Anna was born in winter. This actually comes from a misconception and became common for the irony of their birthdays: Elsa's coronation is in summer, so many thought she was crowned on (or near) her 21st birthday. She wasn't. WordOfGod is that Elsa was born during the winter solstice while Anna was born during the summer solstice. ''Disney/FrozenFever'' supports this, with Anna's birthday clearly being in a warm season.

* While not the most common fanon, and not as common as with Rapunzel, several fanworks explore the idea that Elsa ages slowly due to her powers or even that she is [[TheAgeless functionally]] [[ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty immortal]]. ''Frozen II'' revitalized this fanon after [[spoiler:Elsa became a spirit]].

It's become firmly jossed wit the sequel - Agdar and Iduna went north looking for [[spoiler:Ahtohallan]], not south, and were lost at sea.

* Elsa is a [[Franchise/XMen mutant]]. Cue at least one meme where she gets a visit from Professor Xavier.

* Many fics portray Elsa as an introverted, socially incompetent {{hikikomori}}. This is frequently used in {{Setting Update}}s (especially ones without magical powers) as a counterpart to Elsa's introversion, with Elsa's depression or anxiety being a major factor, if not the reason, for why she's distant from Anna.

* Most fanworks have Elsa and Anna [[ParentalTitleCharacterization refer to their parents as "Mama" and "Papa"]] while alone together. When around others they'll use "Mother" and "Father" instead. The only times they referred to their parents in the film were when they were children. It's unknown what they use as adults.''Literature/AFrozenHeart'' has Anna using "Mama" and "Papa" but ''Frozen II'' has both sisters using "Mother" and "Father".

* Elsa being born in summer while Anna was born in winter. This actually comes from a misconception and became common for the irony of their birthdays: Elsa's coronation is in summer, so many thought she was coronated on (or near) her 21st birthday. She wasn't. WordOfGod is that Elsa was born during the winter solstice while Anna was born during the summer solstice. ''Disney/FrozenFever'' supports this, with Anna's birthday clearly being in a warm season.

* It's generally assumed that [[ThereIsAnother others like Elsa exist]]. If not with ice powers, then other ElementalPowers. This partially comes because in some early scripts Anna herself had aurora-related powers. Lots of fan theories still assign Anna nature-related powers of her own, usually fire to match Elsa's ice.

** The sequel obliterates it - Agdar and Iduna went north looking for Ahtohallan, not south, and were lost at sea.
