16* ActorShipping: A small group of fans like to ship Creator/IdinaMenzel and Creator/KristenBell, who played sisters Elsa and Anna, together due to their off-screen friendship, mainly as a way for fans who felt that they have chemistry but found "[[IncestYayShipping Elsanna]]" to be too {{squick}}y, to ship them. Even though both are straight, Bell is married to Creator/DaxShepard, Menzel is married to Aaron Lohr, and both have described their relationship as "sisterly" at most. The pairing has plenty of fanfiction and cute moments edits around the internet, along with their own PortmanteauCoupleName, "Bellzel".
17* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[EvilColonialist King Runeard]] [[labelnote:Appearances]]''WesternAnimation/FrozenII''; ''Literature/DangerousSecrets''; ''Literature/PolarNightsCastIntoDarkness''[[/labelnote]], former king of [[Characters/FrozenArendelle Arendelle]], was the father of Agnarr and the [[GruesomeGrandparent grandfather]] of [[Characters/FrozenSnowSisters Anna and Elsa]]. Runeard was abusive towards his wife and child, eventually causing the former to leave him, with Runeard blaming this on "evil spirits". Runeard eventually encountered the Northuldra tribe and [[FantasticRacism feared them for their use of magic which could threaten his power]], so he built a dam to drain their resources and force their submission while lying about it as a peace offering. This dam would also threaten the nearby kingdom of Vesterland with starvation. Realizing this, its two princesses, Sissel and Ingr, refused to help fund the dam, and when Sissel died in a flash flood, Runeard forced the only witness to lie that Ingr "murdered" her sister, attempting to execute her to eliminate any opposition to his project. When the Northuldran chief showed concern over the dam, Runeard killed him in cold blood and waged battle on the Northuldrans, killing many on both sides. [[PosthumousCharacter Even after his death]], his actions would continue to haunt all involved.]]
18* CrossoverShip:
19** Elsa is very frequently paired with [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack Frost]] and hilariously enough [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sub-Zero]], in addition to a large number of other [[AnIcePerson "ice people"]], although less seriously, as spoofed in [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/cb948356f872bac093f6b81b5d69f9db/tumblr_n0p6cgTS201spk3hpo1_500.jpg this fanart]]. [[note]]For reference, there's [[Comicbook/{{Batman}} Mr. Freeze]], [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Ice King]], [[Film/{{Thor}} Loki]], [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Frozone]], [[ComicBook/XMen Iceman]], and [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack Frost]].[[/note]]
20** There's also a small portion of fans liking Elsa x [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Pitch]], because his life's work is fear and her whole problem is letting fear control her, and even smaller portion liking Anna x Pitch as well, because they contrast so well.
21** Ever since [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/694/743/2ea.jpg one of the directors jokingly mentioned they'd be a good couple]], Elsa is also being shipped with the title character of ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''. Rich Moore, the director of ''Wreck-It Ralph'', has also [[http://youtu.be/AeC9yHhLq6Q?t=2m21s teased the ship]].
22** The Mike Wazowski x Olaf joke ship, culminating into things like [[https://youtu.be/EisPlvWBeqE this]] and [[https://24.media.tumblr.com/2184407c9599822b32c1bdc2c88d36f9/tumblr_mwl15kzY7S1salhp6o1_500.jpg this]].
23** Given that [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} Merida]] is, like Elsa, a romantically un-attached Disney Princess experiencing difficulties with royal propriety and possessing substantial LesbianSubtext, [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/c66ed4014b785f990dc685c229781c90/tumblr_myivbhbpzA1qed90ao1_500.jpg this pairing]] was probably inevitable.
24** Pairing Elsa and Elphaba from ''{{Theatre/Wicked}}'' is a thing due to their similarities and because they've both been played by Idina Menzel.
25** There is a bunch of Elsa/[[Franchise/KingdomHearts Riku]] fan art. [[http://www.pinterest.com/pin/356347389238348787/ Here's some]], and more [[http://hatredboy.deviantart.com/art/Elsa-x-Riku-447762574 here]], and [[http://julian14bernardino.deviantart.com/art/Riku-x-Elsa-The-Dark-and-The-Cold-459679401 especially here]].
26** Elsa also tends to be paired up with either [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Steve Rogers or Bucky Barnes]] somewhat frequently.
27** A few people ship Snow Queen Elsa with [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Fire Lord Zuko]], as evidenced by [[http://orig13.deviantart.net/c45f/f/2014/105/4/0/zelsafireandicemanipsnowfallanimation_by_caninesrock-d7en413.gif this]] gif.
28** Some even have shipped Princess Azula with Hans, [[http://greersonnel.tumblr.com/post/91810172889/i-watched-frozen-yesterday-and-remembered-how-this as shown here]], given their tendencies to be {{Manipulative Bastard}}s towards others and [[DaddyIssues family issues]].
29** Elsa and [[Film/{{Thor}} Loki]]. Unsurprising, since the latter is a Frost Giant.
30** Idina Menzel herself named [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tinkerbell]] as Elsa's ideal love interest.
31** Elsa x [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Tadashi Hamada]] is pretty popular as well.
32** Elsa x [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Arthas[=/=]the Lich King]] - a very ice-themed villain who rules from a place called the ''Frozen'' Throne. It doesn't help that she looks and sounds a lot like his former lover, Jaina Proudmoore, who's also good at ice magic.
33* FanPreferredCouple: Anna/Elsa. [[IncestYayShipping Their being sisters]] or Anna having a canon fiancé does little to curb fan enthusiasm for this ship. There are however quite a few AU fics/art pieces that portray them as not being related.
34* FandomEnragingMisconception: It is '''Queen''' Elsa to you! She's not Princess Elsa. [[labelnote:Frozen II spoiler]]Though after the sequel's ending, she's not Queen anymore either.[[/labelnote]]
35* {{Fanon}}: [[Fanon/{{Frozen}} Has its own page.]]
36* FandomHeresy: The crossover ship with [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack Frost]] has become the subject of this for some fans with many claiming that anyone who ships Elsa with Jack is not a "True" fan and disloyal to the Disney brand since Jack Frost comes from Creator/DreamWorksAnimation, Disney's rival.
37* IncestYayShipping: There's been no shortage of shipping of both Elsa and Anna (who are sisters, shall we repeat) ever since 2013. Doesn't really help that each and every animated installment of the franchise featuring them has brought material to fuel this.
38* LauncherOfAThousandShips:
39** Elsa is shipped with every character from ''Frozen'' and with [[CrossoverShip characters from dozens of other works]].
40** While Anna isn't shipped with as many characters as Elsa, she has been shipped with many from both ''Frozen'' itself and other works.
41* MemeticMutation: [[Memes/{{Frozen}} Has its own page.]]
42* TestosteroneBrigade: Elsa has a number of fanboys ([[EvenTheGirlsWantHer and even some fangirls]]), due to her SupermodelStrut, blonde hair, and her [[LegFocus legs]]. About 50% of the male comments on the official "Let It Go" video are somewhere among the lines of "WORK THOSE THIGHS!", "DEM HIPS!", "You go, girl!", "DAT BOUNCE!", or some utterly horrible {{Pun}} on how their "hot love" will thaw Elsa's "ice cave." [[https://youtu.be/27bDok5QhmQ This video]] outright says "That chick from ''Frozen'' is hot!"
43* ThemePairing:
44** It's common to pair Elsa with just about any other character with ice powers. [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack Frost]] is the most popular, though there are others, such as [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime the Ice King]] and Creator/DCComics' Killer Frost and [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Mr. Freeze]].
45** ''Fanfic/{{The Royal Protector|Sniperct}}'' pairs together Elsa with Cassandra from ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' because they fit a LadyAndKnight theme: Elsa is TheHighQueen and Cassandra is her tomboyish BattleButler.
46* UglyCute: Olaf is a very cute, if somewhat oddly shaped, snowman. Also the trolls, while they are literally stone, are also considered very cute.
47* ViewerPronunciationConfusion: Anna's name is pronounced with a soft O instead of a soft A to sound more Norwegian (Ah-nuh), though many viewers use the more common pronunciation (Ann-uh).
