| 27 | |
| 28 | An ice harvester in Arendelle who spurns human companionship for animals and the Trolls. He becomes a personal wilderness guide to Anna to help her on her quest. |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Olaf constantly calling him Sven is a RunningGag in the first film. Anna also calls him Kristoffer/Christopher once. |
| 31 | * AdaptationalHeroism: He is based on the Robber Girl from the original tale. He isn't a criminal, but an honest, if grumpy, ice harvester. |
| 32 | * AllThereInTheManual: Kristoff is a member of the Sami people (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 as those pointy shoes are a dead giveaway]]. Same goes for his last name—it's never stated in the film, but the Essential Guide reveals that it's Bjorgman. The Disney on Ice show does state it in an exchange that would have made sense to be in the movie considering the AccidentalMisnaming, and was in an earlier draft of the film: |
| 33 | -->'''Anna:''' I'm Princess Anna, from Arendelle.\ |
| 34 | '''Kristoff:''' And I'm Kristoff Bjorgman, from nowhere-in-particular. |
| 35 | * ActingForTwo: An in-universe example. His companion Sven isn't a TalkingAnimal, so Kristoff sometimes provides a "voice" for him to talk to when they're alone. Hilariously, it's always Sven who "wins" any argument. |
| 36 | * AmazonChaser: After Anna hits one of the wolves chasing her and Kristoff, the latter utters a very impressed "Whoa!" |
| 37 | * AnimalMotifs: Reindeers. His best friend, brother figure, and MoralityChain is Sven, a reindeer. His only song in the first movie is about how reindeer are better than people. His [[ColorMotif earth tone colors]] are the main colors for the animal. He bonds with Ryder in the second movie because of their shared appreciation for the species. Olaf refers to him as a "valiant, pungent reindeer king" in the first movie. During his song in the second movie, Sven and a group of Northuldran reindeer act as his backup singers. |
| 38 | * BattleCouple: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Anna throughout the story until they have a RelationshipUpgrade at the end of the story and become an OfficialCouple. Kristoff and Anna go on a journey and adventure in order to find Elsa so that summer can return to Arendelle. Along the way on their journey, they encounter many times when they have to battle numerous obstacles such as wolves and Marshmallow. |
| 39 | * BetterWithNonHumanCompany: Type 2, grumpy. His EstablishingCharacterMoment is singing a song called "Reindeers Are Better Than People" to his reindeer companion, Sven. [[JustifiedTrope The lyrics imply that he's used to being treated poorly by other humans. He's also been raised by trolls.]] In the first movie, he has no problem with insulting people to their faces, either, but [[DefrostingIceKing warms up over the course of the story]]. |
| 40 | * BettyAndVeronica: Anna is the "Archie" to Kristoff's "Betty" (manly ice harvester) and Hans's "Veronica" (cultured prince). The contrast goes further when Kristoff is revealed to [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold have a good heart under his gruff exterior]] while Hans turns out to be a BitchInSheepsClothing. |
| 41 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: Picks up "...Wait, what?" from Anna. |
| 42 | * BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The Brooding Boy to Anna's Gentle Girl. Kristoff is brooding, anti-social, sullen, and sarcastic, while Anna is optimistic and compassionate. Anna is the one that gets Kristoff to lighten up and she has a strong effect on the change in his personality. By the end of the movie, Kristoff is more upbeat and energetic due to Anna's influence throughout the story. |
| 43 | * BrutalHonesty: Has no problem telling the Princess of Arendelle that he doesn't trust her judgement because [[LoveAtFirstSight she became engaged to a guy on the first day they met.]] |
| 44 | * 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 freezes over (rendering his duty kinda moot). |
| 45 | * CharacterDevelopment: |
| 46 | ** In the first film, he's a DefrostingIceKing who starts off cynical, misanthropic, and generally uninterested in the well-being of other humans, although he's close with his his troll family and his reindeer. He initially only agrees to help Anna rescue Elsa and the kingdom for selfish reasons. As he spends time with Anna trying to bring back summer, though, he appreciates her courage and sincerity and lets his guard down more, becoming less misanthropic and falling in love with another person. By the end, he's become invested in both her well-being and in a relationship with her for the sake of it, no longer caring about the compensation she'd promised him for his help. In the sequel short, ''Frozen Fever'', Kristoff's softer side is shown to have grown. With Elsa, he is shown to be fairly laid-back, comforting, and encouraging, looking on the brighter side of a situation. In ''Frozen II'', no longer a misanthrope, he helps an Arendelle citizen after the evacuation of its people at the beginning and strikes rapidly a friendship with Ryder. It's clear he has become much more heroic. |
| 47 | ** He is still shown to become flustered around Anna in "Frozen Fever," much as he is at the end of the first movie, as a result of his affections for her. By ''Frozen II'', he's come to terms with his feelings, but still struggles to express them. One of his proposal attempts fails because instead of telling he loves her and wants to get married, he instead starts off talking about the last time they were going on a journey by sled -- and how bad his impression of her was then. This sends the exact wrong signals. He learns, with the help of Ryder and Sven, to be more straightforward about his feelings, and when he tells her what his feelings about her really are and what it is he wants, she joyfully accepts. |
| 48 | ** In ''Frozen II'', he struggles to propose in part because he's too focused on his own desire to advance their relationship and not on what she actually ''needs'', and so keeps picking ''horrible'' times and saying insulting things. After he gets lost because he left the group behind to set up another proposal attempt without thinking to tell anyone where he was going, he realizes that he had been taking Anna for granted. As a result, he becomes more thoughtful and better at interacting with people, and he eventually finds a proper way to express his desire of marrying her. |
| 49 | * ChekhovsGunman: After being introduced at the beginning of ''Frozen'' as a boy and being taken in by the trolls, he next shows up 13 years later, making a brief appearance in the Arendelle marketplace right before Elsa's coronation. He is then given a more proper introduction whilst encountering Anna at Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna. |
| 50 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: {{Averted|Trope}} with Anna. They ''technically'' meet as kids when Anna is brought to see Pabbie and Kristoff (with Sven) watches. But, they don't make a proper introduction, and later romance, with one another until they're young adults, either through a chance run-in at Wandering Oaken's Trading Post & Sauna (in the movie) or briefly during "For the First Time in Forever" (in the musical). |
| 51 | * ChildhoodFriends: Been friends with Sven since they were very little. |
| 52 | * ColorMotif: Earth-tone colors -- Kristoff wears mostly brown, symbolizing his down-to-earth nature and his humble origins, as well as his strength and dependability. |
| 53 | * CompositeCharacter: Kristoff is based on both Kai and the Robber Girl from the original fairy tale. Being [[DefrostingIceKing a cynic who warms up]] as a result of the protagonist's heroic actions comes from Kai, and the fact that he has a reindeer and rough-hewn character and helps the heroine on her journey comes from the robber girl. |
| 54 | * CoolBigBro: The younger trolls treat him like an honorary brother, and he also extends this attitude towards the snowgies Elsa sneezes out during ''Frozen Fever''. |
| 55 | * CracksInTheIcyFacade: [[IceKing Kristoff]] is first shown to be a be a aloof, emotionally distant misanthrope whose only strongest connection he ever had is with Sven, his pet reindeer. When he first meets Anna, he acts very snugs toward her, saying that he'll only help her find Else if she pays him first. However, as he spends more time around Anna, he starts to see the good in her and the kindness that humans can have, allowing him to be more affectionate an attentive towards her. He also cares for Anna when she's hit by Elsa's powers and tries to get her back home in time to save her life. This is just the early part of his CharacterDevelopment as he finally starts to see that not all humans are bad and begins to be more warm and caring towards others as well, and by the end of the first movie, becomes a NiceGuy. |
| 56 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: {{Implied|Trope}}. Before he was taken in by the trolls, Kristoff was apparently an orphan and only had Sven as a companion. When he sings "Reindeers Are Better Than People" as "Sven", he gives these specific lyrics: "People will beat you and hurt you and cheat you; every one of them's bad, except you." This implies that the other humans were apparently mean to him. |
| 57 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Kristoff's clothing is primarily black and very dark brown, and 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. |
| 58 | * DeadpanSnarker: His dialogue is mostly snark at whoever he happens to be talking to, and always in a deadpan manner. |
| 59 | -->'''Kristoff:''' You wanna talk to me about supply and demand problems? I sell ''ice'' for a living. |
| 60 | * DefrostingIceKing: He starts off as cynical and misanthropic, with his EstablishingCharacterMoment being a short song called "Reindeers Are Better Than People," in which he pretends his reindeer tells him "every one of them's bad, except you," and he doesn't disagree. But he becomes more and more comfortable around Anna over the first movie as they bond during the course of their journey together and he sees her sincerity and courageous compassion. He's her official boyfriend come the epilogue and declares his love for her in ''Frozen Fever''. In the sequel, he seems to have defrosted entirely, spending most of his screentime awkwardly trying to propose to her and singing a dramatic ballad devoted to their love. In the end, he expresses his positive feelings and admiration for her when proposing in front of her family. |
| 61 | * DiggingYourselfDeeper: In the sequel, his fumbling attempts to propose to Anna repeatedly result in this, with implying that he thinks she's stupid or that they're going to die. One attempt begins with him implying that he thinks she's crazy, and when she tries to clarify, he starts talking about how they were new to love when they were getting to know each other and therefore "bound to get it wrong" - which leads her to think he's saying he made a mistake and now wants to break up. |
| 62 | * DumbBlonde: Downplayed. Kristoff has poor social skills and keeps picking ''terrible'' times to propose, or ends up being insulting, or ''both'', but it's because he was quite ''literally'' raised by trolls, not because he's inherently unintelligent. He's also proven to be a realist and knows how to navigate nature well. |
| 63 | * EarlyPersonalitySigns: [[AMinorKidroduction The opening scene of the first movie]] features a young Kristoff eagerly ice-harvesting with a young reindeer, Sven, by his side. As an adult, he's become a professional ice-harvester and is [[BetterWithNonHumanCompany closer with Sven than with any humans]]. |
| 64 | * EmbarrassingNickname: In ''Olaf and Sven on Thin Ice'', Kristoff once fell into the frozen lake trying to go get ice when he was younger. After this, the other ice harvesters nicknamed him "Icicle". |
| 65 | * EmotionallyTongueTied: He acquires a shyer, more awkward side once he falls in love with Anna. |
| 66 | -->'''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?]] |
| 67 | * FarmBoy: In the ice harvester variant. He's doing his job and just happens to bump into a princess who's on a quest and gets drafted into it. |
| 68 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Besides his sash, Kristoff also has a blue patch on his right elbow. |
| 69 | * {{Foil}}: To Hans in every way - even in the façades they present to the world. |
| 70 | ** Their designs are radically different, with Hans being the traditional slim and average-height Disney hero and Kristoff being very tall, broad-shouldered, and bulky. |
| 71 | ** As of the sequel, Kristoff essentially succeeds in Hans' plans in the first movie, but out of genuine love rather than lies and manipulation. And, intentional or not, Kristoff primarily wears black during the epilogue where we see for the first time Anna as queen, while Hans was primarily in white during Elsa's coronation. |
| 72 | ** Plus, while both have animal companions, Sven remains on Kristoff's side to the end, but Sitron runs off during the ice castle siege, leaving the audience to wonder what happened to it. Metaphorically, both Sven and Sitron could serve as Kristoff's and Hans's respective consciences: Kristoff's persona as "Sven" is what often gets him to help others despite his own bitterness and cynicism, but Hans rarely interacts with Sitron, representing how the prince willingly sheds his morals in an entirely utilitarian manner. |
| 73 | ** While Kristoff was HappilyAdopted by trolls who raised him with love and genuinely cares for Anna, Hans grew up in an abusive household, causing him to become ruthless and power-hungry, and fake his romance with Anna. Plus, Kristoff has the warm love of family that Anna needs (and gets after she and Elsa are able to be together), while Hans has the cold family relationship that Anna wouldn't want. Also, as they race back to the castle with Anna freezing because of the curse, Kristoff puts his hat on her head, but Hans doesn't help Anna feel warmer while she's visibly shivering, instead pulling his own jacket tighter to him. |
| 74 | * FourthDateMarriage: Defied between him and Anna at the end, when they decide to take things slowly after Anna's planned FourthDateMarriage, which Kristoff had heavily lampshaded, ends disastrously. The sequel features a subplot of Kristoff trying to propose to Anna after being together for about three years and they become engaged at the end, having had years to get to know each other. |
| 75 | * 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. |
| 76 | * GenderFlip: Kristoff is based on the Robber Girl from the original tale. |
| 77 | * GoodCounterpart: To Hans. Not that he wasn't this in the first movie, but Kristoff fully cements himself as this in ''Frozen II''. He too offers help to the people of Arendelle in a time of crisis and wants to marry Anna, but out of genuine care. Kristoff represents what Hans could have been if driven by altruism and sincere love towards Anna: he gives a blanket to an Arendelle citizen without any ulterior motives and marries Anna out of love, becoming the queen's husband-- which is what Hans tried to become, albeit via deception and lies. |
| 78 | * GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: In the beginning, he is extremely distrustful of people (even singing that "Reindeers Are Better Than People") and rather grumpy. By contrast, Anna is friendly, wacky, and too trusting for her own good. |
| 79 | * GoodSamaritan: Returns to Arendelle at the climax, running into a blizzard, to try to help Anna. |
| 80 | * HairstyleInertia: Has the same hairstyle he had as a young boy. |
| 81 | * HappilyAdopted: He may find the trolls who raised him overbearing, but he still loves them as his own family and is grateful they took him in. |
| 82 | * 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. |
| 83 | * 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. |
| 84 | * 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. |
| 85 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sven, which is {{lampshaded|Trope}} by the trolls who say his "thing" is "outside of nature's laws". |
| 86 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: He'll usually do the right thing... even if it takes some subtle (and occasionally not-so-subtle) prompting from [[TheConscience Sven]]. Or Anna. |
| 87 | * 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 people's barns. |
| 88 | * HotConsort: He's, of course, very handsome and, by the end of the second movie, he's engaged to Anna, who's become Queen herself after Elsa's abdication. |
| 89 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Anna. He's only OneHeadTaller than her as well as being more muscular while she has a normal build for a young female adult who is not engaged in a strenuous occupation like ice farming. |
| 90 | * {{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"). |
| 91 | * IgnoredExpert: PlayedForLaughs. Kristoff has been ice-climbing most of his life for his ice-selling business. When he sees Anna attempt to ice-climb a near sheer cliff, he tells her she's doing it wrong, [[JustifiedTrope but doesn't give any advice on how to actually go about it]], and [[TheDeterminator she's not one to give up easily]]. Of course, she really doesn't know to do it, and barely gets a foot off the ground. |
| 92 | -->'''Kristoff:''' It's too steep. I've only got one rope, and you don't know how to climb mountains.\ |
| 93 | '''Anna:''' Says who?\ |
| 94 | '''Kristoff:''' What are you doing?\ |
| 95 | '''Anna:''' I'm...going...to see...my sister!\ |
| 96 | '''Kristoff:''' You're going to kill yourself... I wouldn't put my foot there.\ |
| 97 | '''Anna:''' You're distracting me.\ |
| 98 | '''Kristoff:''' Or there. |
| 99 | * 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). |
| 100 | %%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* InkSuitActor: Has a degree of resemblance to Jonathan Groff. |
| 101 | * InsecureLoveInterest: Downplayed and implied. His solo song in ''Frozen 2'' describes how at first he had no doubt that Anna would accept his proposal but became unsure if Anna's feelings for him are as strong as his for her when she doesn't know where he went and so can't be at the right spot when he tries to propose. He assumes she left him behind willingly instead of realizing the real reason she wasn't there is that he left without letting her know where he was going. He ends the song stating that he'll wait for her answer on the matter as she's very important to him. |
| 102 | * InterspeciesAdoption: He (human) and Sven (reindeer) were both adopted by trolls. |
| 103 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Downplayed. Kristoff falls in love with Anna while she's engaged, and doesn't say anything about it until after the engagement ends. After she's struck with a curse, he brings her back to the castle so she can try to get a life-saving TrueLovesKiss from her fiancé. |
| 104 | * JerkassHasAPoint: No matter how rude he is, he does have a point when he questions Anna about agreeing to a FourthDateMarriage with Hans, a guy whom she just met, and why that was not a wise decision. He and Elsa were right about this all along at the end when Hans reveals his [[EvilAllAlong true nature]]. |
| 105 | * 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. Notably, this helps enforce him being a foil to Hans as his inverse; everything Kristoff does for Anna is ''genuine'' in intent. |
| 106 | * 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 turns out to be right. |
| 107 | * LoveConfession: His "I love you, baby!' singing line to Anna in ''Frozen Fever''. |
| 108 | * MeaningfulName: In Scandinavian, "Bjorg" means "help" or "salvation". Fitting, given how he continually helps Anna in her journey. Kristoff is also a Slovak deviation of Christopher, and short for the Scandinavian form "Kristoffer", meaning "bearing Christ", or "Christ-bearer", [[NamesToTrustImmediately so of course he's going to be a good guy]], and he guides MessianicArchetype Anna in her quest. |
| 109 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: In the original story, he's simply known as "the Robber Girl". He's given an actual name in the Disney adaptation. |
| 110 | * NatureLover: He has been described as a "true outdoorsman". |
| 111 | * 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. |
| 112 | * NiceGuy: At the end of the first film, he [[TookALevelInKindness finally becomes this]], becoming more sensitive and caring and onwards in the shorts and the sequel. |
| 113 | * NobleMaleRoguishMale: As the rough, ill-tempered troll's kid, he appears to be the Roguish male to Hans's 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 is implied by the trolls to have been created to protect himself from being hurt emotionally and hide his inner kindness and goodness. |
| 114 | * NoseNuggets: Claims that all guys eat their boogers. |
| 115 | * NoSocialSkills: {{Justified|Trope}} since part of his life he was raised by trolls. It's even lampshaded by a member of his adoptive troll family; "or that he's socially impaired". |
| 116 | * ObsoleteOccupation: Elsa's sudden winter puts Kristoff, an ice harvester, in quite a bind. |
| 117 | * OddNameOut: He is the only one of the six main characters whose name is not four letters long. |
| 118 | * OfficialCouple: With Anna, although they are not married by the movie's end. Though by the end of ''Frozen II'', they are engaged after dating each other for 3 years. |
| 119 | * OneHeadTaller: With Anna. He's taller than her by a head and is also built much larger. |
| 120 | * OnlySaneMan: Zigzagged. He's more practical than Olaf, a ReallyWasBornYesterday snowman who dreams of summer without being aware he would melt in it, and heavily lampshades the FourthDateMarriage engagement of Anna, who spent most of her life in isolation and ended up [[ThinksLikeARomanceNovel thinking like a romance novel]]. He also lampshades how optimistic AllLovingHeroine Anna is in not being scared of HeroWithBadPublicity Elsa and believing she can talk Elsa into undoing the EndlessWinter. By the end, Olaf does come close to melting, Anna's fiance turns out to be a manipulative GoldDigger, and Elsa ''is'' dangerous and talking to her isn't enough to solve everything... but Olaf survives when Elsa makes him his own personal flurry, because Anna was right that Elsa really is a HeroWithBadPublicity, and Anna is able to get her to undo the EndlessWinter, although Anna has to show her ''how'' to do it first. |
| 121 | * 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. |
| 122 | * 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." |
| 123 | * 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 films. |
| 124 | * PreviouslyOverlookedParamour: Anna is initially romantically attached to the debonair Prince Hans, but after Hans reveals his true colours as a manipulator and sociopath, Anna starts to contemplate her feelings for Kristoff, the sassy Iceman who assisted her on her journey. Kristoff himself is initially hesitant to acknowledge that he has feelings for Anna, and tries to help her reunite with Hans in spite of them, believing Hans to be her TrueLove, but after it becomes clear that's Hans is the RomanticFalseLead, at the end of the film, he and Anna begin a relationship. |
| 125 | * RaceLift: In the films, Kristoff is white. In the original Broadway cast, his actor was Jelani Alladin, who is black. |
| 126 | * RagsToRoyalty: He starts the first movie as a poor ice harvester. By the end of the second movie, he's Queen Anna's consort. |
| 127 | * RaisedByTheSupernatural: He was raised by rock trolls. He's not completely isolated from human society and has a general grasp of how it works, but shows a definite preference for the trolls' company. |
| 128 | * RelationshipUpgrade: He and Anna start off as a TeethClenchedTeamwork duo before [[FireForgedFriends becoming friendlier]] through their adventures. By the end of the first film, they are an OfficialCouple but not married. They have a three year relationship before becoming engaged in the second film. |
| 129 | * RichSuitorPoorSuitor: The unglamorous, working-class poor suitor to Hans's suave, royal rich suitor. |
| 130 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: He is correct that getting engaged to Hans was an unwise move. However, it's not because he knows Hans is evil; he's just being judgmental. |
| 131 | * 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. |
| 132 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: He's a manly and rugged farmer of ''ice'' so the scarf is practical. |
| 133 | * SecondLove: To Anna. Her first love, Hans, turned out to be a complete jerk who never loved her. |
| 134 | * 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. |
| 135 | * ShadowArchetype: Inverted. Kristoff represents what Hans could have been had he genuinely loved and cared for Anna rather than deceiving her via lies and manipulation. |
| 136 | * SheCleansUpNicely: A gender-inverted example. Kristoff was for a long time a scruffy-looking ice harvester with a serious lack of hygiene. With Anna and Elsa's influence, he started taking baths and dressing better. By the end of the second movie, he wears a fancy outfit and has his hair combed, and now he looks like a real PrinceCharming. |
| 137 | * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Tries to convince his adoptive family of this about Anna. [[ShipperOnDeck They refuse to believe him.]] |
| 138 | * SmallParentHugeChild: Kristoff was raised by trolls. Because he is a human, he is naturally taller than his adoptive mother, Bulda. |
| 139 | * SociallyAwkwardHero: Kristoff has no problems with doing his dangerous ice harvester jobs (which includes taking on wolves) or climbing down a mountain. It's expressing his endearing love for Anna that's the hard part. |
| 140 | * 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. |
| 141 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: In spite of his loner nature, and dislike for society, Kristoff has a loving heart, and at his core, is rather harmless 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 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. |
| 142 | * 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. |
| 143 | * TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: Genderflipped. Kristoff at first seems ruide while Hans seems polite at first. Later, Hans is a noble man while Hans is a sinister villain who is selfish. |
| 144 | * TookALevelInIdealism: Through his adventure with Anna and Olaf, he learns to understand that while humans can be cruel, many of them are good and willing to help each other. |
| 145 | * TookALevelInKindness: He eventually becomes kind and selfless at the end of the first film. At the beginning, he shows little care for Anna's life, telling Sven he's okay with the idea of her dying on her quest to save Elsa and Arendelle. He continues on with her because he wants to make sure she gets him a new sled after his previous one was destroyed while they were escaping from wolves. At the end, though, he rushes back to Arendelle in a blizzard with barely a thought simply because he's concerned about her. At the end, he even tries to say he can't accept that new sled after all, despite having previously cared more about it than the mission. |
| 146 | * {{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. |
| 147 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Like Sven, he has a fondness for carrots. |
| 148 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: The child version of Kristoff in the beginning of the film isn't as gruff as his older self. |
| 149 | * VoiceForTheVoiceless: He speaks for Sven in his "reindeer voice". |
| 150 | * 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. |

| 164 | Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer! ♫]]'' |
| 165 | -->-- ''"In Summer"'' |
| 166 | |
| 167 | The first snow golem made by Elsa, and completed by Anna. He's initially built by them as children before returning as a living creature when they're older, and represents the childhood love between the sisters. He dreams of enjoying the summer. |
| 168 | ---- |
| 169 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Due to a misunderstanding[[note]]He asked who "the funky-looking donkey" was, referring to Kristoff, but Anna thought he was referring to Sven[[/note]], 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 (after being corrected). |
| 170 | * AdvertisedExtra: [[NeverTrustATrailer The teaser trailer]] and main American poster make it look like the first film is largely his adventure. He doesn't show up officially until the second half of the movie. |
| 171 | * AllLovingHero: Olaf just wants his friends to be safe and happy, and bears no grudges against anyone, not even Marshmallow for tossing him out of the castle. [[EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes Except Hans. He doesn't like Hans]], [[HatedByAll but no one]] likes [[HateSink Hans.]] |
| 172 | * AmusingInjuries: He [[FeelNoPain never feels any pain]] from things like "impaling", which is what keeps it amusing. |
| 173 | * 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. |
| 174 | * BeautyEqualsGoodness: He's adorable, especially compared to his EvilCounterpart Marshmallow. |
| 175 | * BigNo: Screams, "NO!" as he tries to stop Marshmallow from pursuing Anna and Kristoff. Unfortunately, his size means he's no match for the larger snowman. |
| 176 | -->'''Olaf:''' This is not making much of a difference, isn't it?! |
| 177 | * BreakoutCharacter: Apart from Anna and Elsa, he's the most popular Frozen character and has almost as much merchandise as the sisters. His popularity led to him getting a ChristmasSpecial centered around him. |
| 178 | * {{Bookworm}}: In ''A Forest of Shadows'', he's "obsessed" with reading after Anna taught him how. In ''One for the Books'', he visits the library often and even becomes a substitute librarian when the usual one leaves town for a few days. |
| 179 | * ButtMonkey: In the first film. He's subject to all kinds of slapstick and AmusingInjuries throughout. |
| 180 | * TheCameo: [[EasterEgg In a way]]. One of the things stored in Moana's boat are a block of ice, a carrot, and sticks. |
| 181 | * CantLiveWithoutYou: [[NoOntologicalInertia Elsa's magic is what sustains Olaf]]. If she dies (as she does in the depths of Ahtohallan), he will soon follow suit regardless of temperature. |
| 182 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!", a {{Callback}} to when Elsa and Anna first built him. |
| 183 | * ChekhovsGunman: The sisters first build him when they're children. He is later rebuilt by Elsa and becomes important for the rest of the film. |
| 184 | * {{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. |
| 185 | -->'''Kristoff:''' I'm gonna tell him.\ |
| 186 | '''Anna:''' Don't you dare! |
| 187 | * 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. |
| 188 | * 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?'' |
| 189 | * TheCutie: He's a small, perpetually happy, childlike, adorable snowman who loves summertime and [[CuddleBug "warm hugs"]]. |
| 190 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: In the sequel, he flurries away while resting in Anna's arms, due to Elsa (his source of life) being frozen alive in Ahtohallan. Fortunately, Elsa eventually comes back to life and promptly resurrects him. |
| 191 | * DisneyDeath: |
| 192 | ** PlayedForLaughs in ''Olaf's Frozen Adventure''. He melts whilst in Oaken's sauna, but reforms after his remains are brought back into the cold. |
| 193 | ** While the previous example is more comedic, Frozen II plays this much more seriously, with Olaf flurrying into a pile of snow following Elsa's (temporary) demise. Both of them come back near the end of the film. |
| 194 | * 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. |
| 195 | * EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: In TieInNovel ''The Secret Admirer'': "Olaf liked everyone and everything but even Olaf did not like [[HateSink Hans of the Southern Isles.]]" |
| 196 | * EveryoneHasStandards: |
| 197 | ** PlayedForLaughs in the first movie when even he thinks that Kristoff is insane when he is seemingly talking to non-sentinent rocks before they are revealed to be trolls and this is coming from someone with an innocent mindset who often spout non-sequitur comments. |
| 198 | ** In TieInNovel ''The Secret Admirer'': "Olaf liked everyone and everything but even Olaf did not like [[HateSink Hans of the Southern Isles.]]" |
| 199 | * FeelNoPain: He's [[{{Snowlems}} made of snow and magic]] and doesn't have a nervous system, so he simply doesn't ''have'' the sense of nociception. This allows him to experience AmusingInjuries with zero consequences or concern. |
| 200 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 201 | ** Olaf's personality contrasts with Elsa's. She is withdrawn, afraid of much contact with others for fear of hurting them or being hurt herself. He is outgoing and loves physical contact even if it hurts him, [[RunningGag many, many times]]. |
| 202 | ** He's also a stark contrast to Hans. The snowman represents the sisterly love between Elsa and Anna, but the prince represents that bond breaking apart. Olaf genuinely cares for his friends, but Hans cares only about himself. |
| 203 | * TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne: Olaf could sense when Elsa was frozen, and he started to disintegrate himself. |
| 204 | * FriendToAllChildren: {{Implied}} when we see him dancing with some of the troll children during "Fixer Upper". In ''Frozen II'', we see him getting along very well with Arendelle and Northuldra children alike. |
| 205 | * FunPersonified: Due to him being the representation of Anna and Elsa's inner child, their love for each other and how they used to play together in their childhood, he's perky, comically silly and very friendly. |
| 206 | * GoOutWithASmile: While he is being held in Anna's arms prior to his DisneyDeath, he smiles. |
| 207 | * GoodThingYouCanHeal: His {{Snowlem}} nature makes him NighInvulnerable to any kind of damage save heat, which comes in handy due to his frequent AmusingInjuries. |
| 208 | * GoofyBuckteeth: He's a funny, naive snowman with a protruding ToothStrip. |
| 209 | * HealingFactor: Since he's a snowman, he can't die or be truly injured unless he melts. |
| 210 | * ImMelting: Downplayed; he starts to melt twice but never fully melts. |
| 211 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: A non-lethal version that is PlayedForLaughs when he walks into an icicle without looking. It amuses him more than anything. "Oh look at that. I've been impaled." |
| 212 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Olaf is literally the embodiment of childhood love and innocence. Elsa inadvertently created him from her memories of such. |
| 213 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Since he's the embodiment of childhood love and innocence, he's very frank. In the "Olaf Gets Poetic" clip, he calls Anna "ancient" with no indication that he realizes the word is usually considered a rude one to apply to a person. |
| 214 | * IronButtMonkey: Being a magic snowman makes him NighInvulnerable, [[JustifiedTrope allowing him to survive]] all kinds of AmusingInjuries that would be deadly to human characters. |
| 215 | * {{Irony}}: In the first movie, 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.]] |
| 216 | * IWantSong: "In Summer", in which Olaf sings of how wonderful it would be to experience summer. The fact that he's a snowman notwithstanding. |
| 217 | * KidAppealCharacter: The classic Disney non-human companion. |
| 218 | * KindheartedSimpleton: {{Downplayed}}. Olaf isn't a "simpleton", but he can be ''childish'' and still retain his NiceGuy attitude. |
| 219 | * 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. |
| 220 | * LoveFreak: Downplayed in ''The Secret Admirer'', in which Olaf declares, "I ''love'' love." When they discover Elsa has a secret admirer, they hope that a romantic love may bring Elsa more happiness. (At least until they discover how young the secret admirer is, and Elsa assures them she's happy without romance.) |
| 221 | * LoveInformant: It's thanks to Olaf that Anna gets to know that Kristoff is in love with her. |
| 222 | * MeaningfulName: Is named after [[UsefulNotes/PatronSaints St. Olaf]], a founding king of Norway and its patron saint. |
| 223 | * MrExposition: In ''Frozen II'', he spends a lot of his screen time spouting out random bits of trivia. Most of it is pointless, albeit factually correct, but the one he says that holds the most bearing on the story is, "[[ArcWords water has memory]]." |
| 224 | * NarrativeShapeshifting: During a game of charades, he rearranges himself to indicate the keywords. Anna considers it cheating. |
| 225 | * 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. Averted by ''Frozen II'', where he's able to participate in a game of charades with keywords written on cards; he comments that it's much easier "[[CallBack since I learned to read]]". |
| 226 | * NiceGuy: He always does everything he can to help his friends. |
| 227 | * NighInvulnerable: He suffers a lot of AmusingInjuries and is always falling apart, but his components never break apart. At the end of the film, he starts melting, but quickly reforms when Elsa summons a personal snow cloud for him. In ''Olaf's Frozen Adventure'', even heat is only a minor discomfort since he can reform after melting if exposed to cold again. In ''Frozen II'', he no longer is vulnerable to even temporary melting, thanks to his new permafrost. His one vulnerability seems to be [[NoOntologicalInertia Elsa dying]]. |
| 228 | * NonHumanSidekick: To Anna, being a snowman and all. |
| 229 | * TheNoseless: When he first meets Anna and Kristoff. Anna gives him a carrot nose, which Sven occasionally tries to eat. |
| 230 | -->'''Olaf:''' It's like a little baby unicorn! |
| 231 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 232 | ** In the second film, the usually [[ThePollyanna happy]] and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} silly]] snowman clearly states to Anna that he's ''angry'' at Elsa for once again leaving them behind when she promised she wouldn't. |
| 233 | ** In general, when Olaf is taking what's going on seriously, things are about to get dark. |
| 234 | * OurPhlebotinumChild: First built by Anna and Elsa as children, then bought to life by Elsa's magic years later. |
| 235 | * PerpetualSmiler: About 99% of his screentime has him with a smile on his face. |
| 236 | * PersonalRaincloud: Elsa gives Olaf a personal ''flurry'' once the eternal winter ends, so he can enjoy the season without melting. Played with, however, since the flurry doesn't represent sadness. It's gone come the sequel, where Elsa has figured out how to create a new permafrost to keep him solid without it. |
| 237 | * PluckyComicRelief: He provides a lot of the films' humour. |
| 238 | * 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). |
| 239 | -->'''Olaf:''' ''(as he melts from the summer heat)'' Hands down, this is the best day of my life, and quite possibly the last... |
| 240 | * PullingThemselvesTogether: Sure you could fairly easily kick his head off, split him in half, or toss him off a cliff in pieces, but since all of the pieces remain animated, and he's made of snow, he could just put themselves back together, as good as new. |
| 241 | * PurelyAestheticGlasses: He likes to wear a pair of ice glasses in ''Forest of Shadows'' even though he can see fine without them. He is a bookworm in that story. |
| 242 | * PurityPersonified: The creators confirmed that Olaf is the sisterly love of Elsa and Anna as a solid form. |
| 243 | * RuleOfSymbolism: One of the directors says he symbolizes the love between Anna and Elsa. |
| 244 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: As he runs from the spirits in ''Frozen II'', he lets out a high-pitched shriek. |
| 245 | * SeeminglyProfoundFool: When Anna is asking Olaf if anyone knows what true love is: |
| 246 | -->'''Anna:''' I don't even know what love is.\ |
| 247 | '''Olaf:''' That's okay, I do. Love... is... putting someone else's needs before yours; like, you know, how Kristoff brought you back here to Hans and left you forever.\ |
| 248 | '''Anna:''' Kristoff... loves me?\ |
| 249 | '''Olaf:''' Wow, you really don't know anything about love, do you?\ |
| 250 | '''Anna:''' Olaf, you're melting!\ |
| 251 | '''Olaf:''' Some people are worth melting for. ''[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]'' Just maybe not right this second. |
| 252 | * SharedFamilyQuirks: Because he embodies the childhood love between Elsa and Anna, he shares some quirks with them (and is kind of the son of Elsa and the nephew of Anna, since Elsa made him): |
| 253 | ** When putting his arms back on, he does so like he's putting on gloves (Elsa wears gloves often). |
| 254 | ** He uses both of his twig arms to lift his head up when excited, similar to a young Anna clasping her cheeks in excitement. |
| 255 | ** He leans in to sniff flowers similar to how Elsa does it. The way he leans forward with his eyes closed and his face upturned is similar to how Elsa does in the "Making Today a Perfect Day" lyric video. |
| 256 | ** Like Elsa, he skates like a pro. |
| 257 | ** He has similar gestures to Anna when it comes to stealing a bit of cake in ''Frozen Fever''; specifically he crams it into his mouth like she does with chocolate. |
| 258 | * ShipperOnDeck: Olaf comments on how Kristoff loves Anna, as example of who truly loves her. |
| 259 | * ShooOutTheClowns: Once per movie. |
| 260 | ** During the blizzard at the climax, he's blown away by the storm and not seen again until Anna's frozen solid. |
| 261 | ** During the second movie, Elsa's temporary death means her powers wear off on Olaf, and he flurries into a pile of snow, leaving Anna to resolve the conflict on her own. |
| 262 | * SimpleMindedWisdom: A simple pep talk from the naive, oddball, silly snowman, of all things, is what snaps Anna back from Hans's betrayal. |
| 263 | * {{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. |
| 264 | * 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. |
| 265 | * ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: In ''Frozen II'', after Elsa sends Anna and Olaf away he declares that he "senses rising anger." He clarifies that he's not talking about Anna, but ''himself''. This implies that Olaf [[ThePollyanna never felt anger before]]. |
| 266 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He has a fondness for ice cream, which is why he took a bite of Anna's birthday cake behind everyone's back. |
| 267 | * {{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. |
| 268 | -->'''Olaf:''' ....58, 59, 60!\ |
| 269 | '''Elsa:''' Wait. What is that?\ |
| 270 | ''(Olaf comes running across the foyer)''\ |
| 271 | '''Olaf:''' Hi! I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!\ |
| 272 | '''Elsa:''' ''Olaf?!''\ |
| 273 | '''Olaf:''' You built me! Remember that?\ |
| 274 | '''Elsa:''' And you're alive?\ |
| 275 | '''Olaf:''' Yeah, um... I think so? |
| 276 | * 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. |
| 277 | -->'''Anna:''' Olaf... you're melting.\ |
| 278 | '''Olaf:''' Some people are worth melting for. ''[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]'' [[{{Bathos}} Just maybe not right this second.]] |

| 286 | |
| 287 | Kristoff's lovable pet reindeer. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * 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. |
| 290 | * AdaptationNameChange: In the original story, his name was Bae. Here, it's Sven. |
| 291 | * AllAnimalsAreDogs: Has the mannerisms of a dog more than a reindeer, and his official character description even describes him as "a reindeer with the heart of a Labrador." This is PlayedForLaughs and inspired by how the reindeer the research team met reminded them of dogs with their panting and scratching mannerisms. Lampshaded in ''A Frozen Heart'' when Anna thinks "[Sven] reminds me of a puppy". |
| 292 | * AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: |
| 293 | ** He's clearly got a better grasp of what's going on than a normal reindeer might. |
| 294 | ** In ''Frozen Fever'', he can slice a three-tiered ice cream cake into perfectly straight, equal-sized wedges... with his ''antlers.'' |
| 295 | * BadassAdorable: Sven is also an adorable reindeer. |
| 296 | * TheCameo: In ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'', Maui accidentally transforms into him while fighting Tamatoa. |
| 297 | * 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. Except Anna and Elsa, oddly enough. |
| 298 | * ChildhoodFriends: Has known Kristoff since they were kids. |
| 299 | * 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. |
| 300 | * CuteMute: This reindeer is silly, snarky and lovable, and yet he does not say a single word the entire movie. |
| 301 | * 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. |
| 302 | * HappilyAdopted: As a young reindeer, he and a young Kristoff were taken in, loved, and nurtured by trolls. |
| 303 | * HeroicSacrifice: Almost, see DisneyDeath above. When he surfaces, he urges Kristoff to keep moving while he's stuck out on a small ice platform. |
| 304 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Kristoff were both adopted by the trolls and, until Anna, was his only friend. |
| 305 | * HomelessHero: {{Implied|Trope}} 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. |
| 306 | * HumanlikeAnimalAging: Since reindeers live 15 years on average, it is clear Sven does not follow this rule, since he'd be at least 14 in ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' and 17 in ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', and shows no signs of being at the end of his life. |
| 307 | * InterspeciesAdoption: Sven (reindeer) and Kristoff (human) have a familial bond with their family of trolls. |
| 308 | * 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. |
| 309 | * LoyalAnimalCompanion: To Kristoff. The two have been together since childhood. |
| 310 | * NiceGuy: Sven is sweet, loyal, playful, and has a strong moral center. |
| 311 | * MoralityPet: A literal, and downplayed, variation. Sven acts as an unusual version of this, one who cannot talk, but gives Kristoff looks that Kristoff interprets as encouragement to help Anna. LampshadedTrope in "When Everything Falls Apart," a song from the Denver stage show and included in the Broadway Original Soundtrack: |
| 312 | --> '''Kristoff:''' When a reindeer herder finds a reindeer left behind to die / |
| 313 | --> the herder saves the reindeer's life / |
| 314 | --> and the deer makes him a better guy. |
| 315 | * NearlyNormalAnimal: Of the "Almost Normal" variety. He doesn't talk, but is still clearly a ShipperOnDeck, nudging Kristoff toward Anna twice and giving him a rather human-like expression the first time, and occasionally shows [[AllAnimalsAreDogs some doglike tendencies.]] |
| 316 | * NonHumanSidekick: To Kristoff, because he's a reindeer who sticks by his side. |
| 317 | * OnlyFriend: Sven has been this to Kristoff since they were kids. |
| 318 | * ParentalAbandonment: No idea what became of Sven's mother or herd, any more than we know what happened to Kristoff's parents. |
| 319 | * 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. |
| 320 | * ShipperOnDeck: For Kristoff and Anna, such as convincing him to go back to her. |
| 321 | * {{Sidekick}}: To Kristoff and Olaf in market sales. |
| 322 | * SilentSnarker: When he tries to convince Kristoff to admit his feelings to Anna. |
| 323 | * TheSpeechless: He doesn't have any lines in the film, just reindeer grunts and groans. |
| 324 | * 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. He talks and sings briefly in ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', but only during a DisneyAcidSequence. |
| 325 | %%* TeamPet: Of the heroes. |
| 326 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sven has a fondness for carrots. [[RunningGag He keeps going after Olaf's nose]]. |
| 327 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Kristoff and later Anna, Elsa, and Olaf. |
| 328 | * WhiteTailedReindeer: Averted. His design and character model is designed to look more like an actual reindeer rather than a generic deer. |

| 339 | |
| 340 | Elsa and Anna's parents. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * AdaptationDyeJob: In the ''Frozen'' book illustrations, the king has dark hair and the queen has light hair, but in the movie, it's vice-versa. |
| 343 | * AllThereInTheScript: Their names are not mentioned in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' nor are they named in the credits, but are named in the novelization and other written material. Their names are both used in ''Frozen II''. |
| 344 | * AscendedExtra: |
| 345 | ** The sequel gives them more focus compared to the first movie through flashbacks and ice sculptures depicting their past. |
| 346 | ** They also become protagonists in the spin-off book ''Dangerous Secrets''. |
| 347 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: The sequel shows that Agnarr and Iduna met as young teenagers. |
| 348 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Both of them were present at the war between the people of Arendelle and Northuldra. Agnarr witnessed his father's death before being knocked out and Iduna saved and returned him home, but at the cost of never returning to her people and hiding her heritage. |
| 349 | * GoodParents: While they were with Elsa and Anna, their decisions were not perfect, but they truly care about their daughters and want to help Elsa control her powers. They love the sisters so much that they courageously attempted a dangerous voyage across the Dark Sea, trying to find answers regarding Elsa's powers and help her. |
| 350 | * GoryDiscretionShot: |
| 351 | ** In the first movie, their deaths are implied. We only see their ship crash at sea from a wide angle, with two barely-visible figures appearing among the water after the ship is swallowed by a wave. The scene then cuts to mournful-looking servants covering a portrait of the king and queen with a black gauze. |
| 352 | ** Subverted in the sequel. Aboard the shipwreck, Elsa generates an ice sculpture showing Agnarr embracing Iduna as the waves crashed in on them. |
| 353 | %%Needs more context regarding the similarities between events.* HistoryRepeatsItself: Agnarr and Iduna had to escape from a battle linked with elemental spirits, and 28 years later they have to face the impact of a shipwreck in a storm at sea. |
| 354 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 355 | ** "Agnarr" is a male form of Agða, a short form of Agatha, meaning "good" and/or "honourable". The name Agnarr/Agdar means "brave" and/or "warrior" in Norse and from Greek agathos meaning "good". All of which reflect his noble intentions towards his daughters. |
| 356 | ** "Iduna" is the anglicized version of Ithunn, or Idunn/Idun. Iðunn means "youthful", a nod to her [[MumLooksLikeASister youthful appearance.]] |
| 357 | * TheMentor: Like parents should do, they intend to support their children. Agnarr and Iduna try to guide Elsa as she struggles with her powers. |
| 358 | * MyBelovedSmother: They're a DeconstructedCharacterArchetype of this trope. Agnarr and Iduna desire to protect their children, so they isolate them from anything that could hurt them, including each other. Because of this, the girls are denied the life experiences and skills that real people need to develop. Elsa becomes an IneffectualLoner who hides her emotions from everyone, including her sister until they are released. Since her powers are controlled by her emotions, not knowing how to handle either sets off the plot. Anna grows up very naive as to how love and healthy relationships work, resulting in her getting engaged to a man she barely knows who turns out to be a GoldDigger and is just using Anna's naivety to marry his way into ruling Arendelle. |
| 359 | * NiceGuy: They are well-meaning and loving people who try their best to support Elsa and protect both of their daughters. |
| 360 | * NotQuiteTheRightThing: After the trolls show a vision of an angry mob attacking a grown Elsa and warn [[ExactWords "fear will be your enemy,"]] her parents (mainly Agnarr) conclude that the best thing to do is to keep her away from the world and have her power be kept secret until she learns to control it. However, this makes ''Elsa'' fear her powers, especially as the reason they were at the trolls was that she had accidentally injured Anna with ice, and causes her to build up a lot of emotional issues when the actual secret to controlling herself requires her to ''embrace'' her emotions and love for others, which is more like what she was already doing. Not only is this the wrong way to help Elsa, but it also takes away Anna's friendship with her sister and prevents her from making friends with anyone else, leaving her desperately craving affection. The moment she gets out and meets someone, she rushes into the first relationship that presents itself. |
| 361 | * OlderThanTheyLook: They look relatively young for a couple in their early 40s. Iduna is virtually a brunette version of her teenage daughter Elsa. |
| 362 | * ParentalAbandonment: Their ship sinks, leading to their presumed death. |
| 363 | * ParentsAsPeople: Though they are very loving, without meaning to, they contribute to Elsa's problem. They try to guide her, yet this makes Elsa fear her powers instead of trying to control them and to bottle up her emotions rather than confront them. |
| 364 | * PlotTriggeringDeath: Their disappearances at sea are why Elsa has to become Queen at the age of 21, kicking off the plot. |
| 365 | * ShownTheirWork: Their graves are written in the Runic alphabet, and so their names were revealed as King Agnarr and Queen Iduna. |
| 366 | * UnluckilyLucky: They get caught up in an unexpected battle as children, but are some of the few who not only survive, but make it out of the forest before it becomes magically sealed off. Iduna finds herself without any family in a strange land, a kingdom that had just a battle with her own nation, but she becomes queen, with two lovely daughters who help bring peace and unity between Arendellians and the Northuldra. |
| 367 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: They have good intentions, but isolating Elsa and Anna from the rest of the world for so many years causes the plot to kick off. |

| 374 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MauriceLaMarche (''Frozen''), Creator/AlfredMolina (''Frozen II''), Jackson Stein (young)[[labelnote:Other Languages]]Felix Engström, Adrian Macéus (young) (Swedish dub)[[/labelnote]] |
| 375 | ---- |
| 376 | * AChildShallLeadThem: Averted. Agnarr is only 14 years old when he technically succeeds his late father, but the Arendellian Lord Peterssen offers to lead the country until Agnarr is of a proper age to wear the crown. |
| 377 | * AscendedExtra: While a minor character in the movies, he is a protagonist in the spin-off book ''Dangerous Secrets''. |
| 378 | %%Needs more context about the nature of this society.* BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: It is insinuated that he is a member of some secret society. It doesn't seem to affect him in any significant way ad he's still shown to be a decent person overall regardless of whether or not that is true. |
| 379 | * DistressedDude: During the battle between the Northuldra and Arendelle when he was younger, Agnarr loses his father. He just about escaped the forest, rescued by Iduna. |
| 380 | * DotingParent: In ''A Frozen Heart'', Agnarr has the tendency to spoil his daughters, and has a difficult time legitimately punishing them when they misbehave. |
| 381 | %%Needs more context about how easily it's provoked.* HairTriggerTemper: In the expanded novels and comics, where he has something of a temper as king and only his wife can calm him down, although he is not a wife beater or a violent child abuser, so his temper [[DownplayedExample never gets that bad]]. It's not really shown in either movie however. |
| 382 | * FreudianExcuse: Agnarr's unfortunate parenting decisions in the first film are motivated by fear of what might happen to Elsa if her magic became public. The second film reveals that Agnarr himself was raised by an evil father who feared and hated magic and magic-users to a genocidal extreme. |
| 383 | * HeroicBuild: Agnarr has a broad, muscular body; even though the outcome of his methods of teaching Elsa to control her powers wasn't exactly right, his intentions were noble and out of love. |
| 384 | * KnightTemplarParent: When Pabbie shows a vision of what might happen to Elsa if she doesn't learn control, his protective instinct for Elsa takes over and plays a significant part the upbringing of both his daughters, isolating them both for the sake of protecting the elder. He even fires people to keep word from getting out and his protection of Elsa even affects foreign relations, as the diplomats at her coronation discuss how "mysterious" Arendelle has been since the gates were closed, confirming that international communication has been hindered. |
| 385 | -->'''Agnarr''': We'll protect her. She can learn to control it, I'm sure. Until then, we'll lock the gates, we'll reduce the staff, and we'll limit her contact with people, and keep her powers hidden from everyone... including Anna. |
| 386 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Unlike his evil father, Agnarr is a well-intentioned man who tries to do the best for his daughters (even if he doesn't always succeed). |
| 387 | * LikeParentLikeChild: |
| 388 | ** He's proper and cautious like Elsa is at first. It's implied in the sequel that, like Elsa, he grew up under a lot of pressure to be a dutiful ruler. |
| 389 | ** It's also implied in the sequel that, like Anna, he's enamoured and fascinated by magic despite not having any himself. They both also would do anything for Elsa (he risks his life for Elsa and dies doing so, Anna deliberately chooses to throw herself in front of a sword for Elsa). |
| 390 | * NonActionGuy: Unlike his father, he is not a warrior. He is shown to be flabbergasted during the war in the flashback scene during Frozen 2 and is not a cold-hearted fighter, then or now. |
| 391 | * OneHeadTaller: Downplayed. [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140109043557/disney/images/e/e1/Frozenkingandqueen.jpg King Agnarr is about half a head taller than his wife, Iduna.]] |
| 392 | * SatelliteCharacter: Almost all of his actions revolve around the two sisters. He brings them to the trolls to cure Anna, locks them away after Pabbie shows the image of a future Elsa being attacked by a mob in an effort to protect Elsa from such a fate while she's still learning to control her powers, tries to help Elsa control them, and dies while on a ship headed to the Dark Sea looking for answers about Elsa's powers, putting the sisters into mourning and setting the stage for Elsa to be crowned queen. The only thing he ever does that's not for at least one of his daughters (usually Elsa) is visiting the Northuldra with his father and subsequently be rescued by Iduna in a flashback, which is mostly significant because of how it affects the sisters in the present. |
| 393 | * SaveThePrincess: GenderInverted, as Agnarr was a prince; Iduna, though not a princess, helped to save him. |
| 394 | * SharpDressedMan: Agnarr certainly looks the part of a king. |
| 395 | * UptownGuy: Agnarr was a prince, later a young king, when he met Iduna, who was a commoner. She kept her Northuldra heritage a secret for years. |
| 396 | * YouAreInCommandNow: He succeeded his father as the ruler of Arendelle after Runeard died in the Enchanted Forest. |

| 402 | |
| 403 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Jennifer Lee (''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''), Creator/EvanRachelWood (''WesternAnimation/FrozenII''), Delaney Rose Stein (young)[[labelnote:Other Languages]]Nadja Weiss (''Frozen''), Linda Olsson (''Frozen II'') (Swedish dub)[[/labelnote]] |
| 404 | ---- |
| 405 | * AscendedExtra: |
| 406 | ** While only having one line of dialogue in the first ''Frozen'', her backstory and personality is delved into more in ''Frozen II''. Iduna is also said to be 'the voice' that Elsa hears in Frozen II. |
| 407 | ** She also becomes a protagonist in the spin-off book ''Dangerous Secrets''. |
| 408 | * BlueIsCalm: Although Iduna primarily wears purple; her shirt/blouse sometimes appears slightly blue-purple (think Very Peri). The gem in the brooch she wears is blue, resembling lapis lazuli or sapphire in the scenes with little Anna and Elsa, and aquamarine before the voyage. The crown Iduna wears features little blue gems. Iduna is one of the calmest speaking characters in the franchise. |
| 409 | * BrainyBrunette: Iduna is considered a brunette; she has dark chestnut-brown hair. She is quite brainy and is good at deducting things from observation, and connecting ideas and events. |
| 410 | ** In ''Frozen II'', she realizes how Elsa's ice powers have a link to the glacier Ahtohallan. |
| 411 | ** In ''Literature/DangerousSecrets'' Iduna is shown to be an intelligent character, and even had the aspiration to become an inventor. |
| 412 | * CharacterTics: Iduna tends to cover her mouth with her hands when she's emotionally shocked by something. She does this when she sees Anna after the childhood accident and when the distraught Elsa flinches away from Agnarr's attempt to comfort Elsa. Iduna also likes to tap or "boop" the end of noses, like she did to Agnarr when Gale made the two float up in the air as children, and also to little Anna as a way of getting her to sleep. |
| 413 | * CoolCrown: Iduna's crown is a slightly more minimalist, kokoshnik-style, cool-toned silver/white gold crown. It features blue gems and a leaf-like design. |
| 414 | * CreatorCameo: Iduna is voiced by Jennifer Lee in the first film, one of the co-directors of the feature films and ''Frozen Fever''. |
| 415 | * FlowerMotifs: There are notably crocus flower patterns in Queen Iduna's outfit, partly because the flower emblem of Arendelle is a crocus. Iduna's cape features an elaborate unique flower emblem, yet to be seen elsewhere in Frozen. |
| 416 | * LadyAndAScholar: Iduna is a kind individual who is fairly good with people, and loves her daughters dearly, and is quite intelligent. In ''Frozen II'', she realizes how Elsa's ice powers have a link to the glacier Ahtohallan. |
| 417 | ** In ''Dangerous Secrets'', Iduna likes to study science and is a kind individual who is fairly good with people, and loves her daughters dearly. |
| 418 | ** Even before the accident when Elsa struck Anna unconscious with her magic, Iduna observed and studied the complexities of magic. This also included Elsa's magic, and how anomalous it was. A deleted scene also showed that Iduna examined Elsa's magic closely, noting down her observations and theories in a journal. |
| 419 | * LikeParentLikeChild: |
| 420 | ** Iduna and Elsa look very similar, bar their hair colour. They have a gentle aura, but they are capable of being more assertive when trying to fulfill their goals. Both grew up hiding their true selves (Elsa's magic, Iduna's ethnicity). |
| 421 | ** Her personality has aspects of Anna's; she is optimistic and extroverted overall. They both also would do anything for Elsa (she risks her life for Elsa; Anna deliberately chooses to throw herself in front of a sword for Elsa). |
| 422 | ** Iduna also likes to tap or "boop" the end of noses. Her daughters Elsa and Anna also do this. |
| 423 | * LittleStowaway: In ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', an ice sculpture depicts young Iduna as a stowaway in one of the royal carriages once she saved Prince Agnarr on a journey to Arendelle, after they were separated from others (including Iduna's family) in the Enchanted Forest, which was trapped by a wall of mist. |
| 424 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: Is a downplayed example in ''A Frozen Heart''. Iduna has the ability to calm Agnarr's nerves. |
| 425 | * MumLooksLikeASister: Iduna looks like [[StrongFamilyResemblance a brunette version of]] [[OnlySixFaces Elsa's and Anna's older selves]] (21 and 18)... even when they're in their late to mid-teens toward the end of the prologue (18 and 15). Due to the former's lack of (visible) freckles, she looks like 21-year-old Elsa with brown hair. |
| 426 | * MysteriousPast: Iduna's past is explored in ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', and it's just enough to spark curiosity about the gaps. She lived amongst the Northuldra, and her past is relatively hidden from Arendelle's citizens until the second film. Honeymaren says her scarf comes from one of the Northuldra's "oldest" families, and it's not quite known how Iduna adjusted to life in Arendelle after stowing away in a royal cart, especially without Agnarr realizing she was the one who saved him. |
| 427 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Iduna was the name of a goddess in Norse mythology from one of [[http://norse-mythology.org/tales/the-kidnapping-of-idun/ the most well-known myths]]. |
| 428 | * PimpedOutCape: Iduna has a black cape without fur trim, instead with the decorative trim that continues along the front of her outfit. What stands out at the back is the large red and yellow embroidered flower. It is a six-petalled flower; the design seems to resembles a snowflake, surrounded by hidden Mickeys and swirls. |
| 429 | * PrimAndProperBun: Iduna's royal hairstyle is a bun, and she's somewhat quiet and reserved as queen, in contrast to her more free-spirited demeanor as a child, when she wears her hair down. Notably, Elsa copies this same hairstyle when she's trying to be very proper. |
| 430 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Iduna wears purple, befitting her status as queen. The colour appears on state decorations and many of Queen Elsa's dresses. As a child, Iduna wore a purple belt and sashes. She also has a maroon-purple shawl passed down along her family. Her strong bond with the Wind Spirit also suggests that she was powerful since birth,years before becoming a queen. |
| 431 | * RagsToRoyalty: Iduna grew up amongst the Northuldra folk in the Enchanted Eorest before she eventually became Queen of Arendelle. |
| 432 | * SatelliteCharacter: She's this in the movies, where her character almost entirely revolves around her two daughters, particularly Elsa, although she's more fleshed-out in the spin-off book ''Dangerous Secrets'', where she becomes a protagonist in her own right. |
| 433 | ** Iduna only has one line in [[WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}} the first movie]]. After she and Agnarr burst throgh the doors of the Great Hall upon hearing Elsa calling for them, they run across the ice to their daughters.Iduna picks up Anna, whom Elsa has accidentally struck unconscious, and says "She's ice cold!" She also shows concern for Elsa in her face and body language another time when Elsa expresses fear of hurting her father with her powers. Iduna leaves on the voyage to Ahtohallan, alongside the ship's crew and Agnarr. Their absence due to a storm at sea suggests their passing, leaving Elsa as queen. That's pretty much all the audience sees of Iduna in the first installment. |
| 434 | ** She's a bit more fleshed-out in the Broadway adaptation, but still is defined primarily by her relationship to her daughters. It's mentioned that she lived with nomads before marrying into the royal family, which is given as an explanation for why she knows how to call the Hidden Folk to heal Anna, and she debates the wisdom of Agnarr's plans for isolating the sisters. |
| 435 | ** She becomes more vocal in the second film, even getting a song to herself, but this song is one she sings to her daughters, and is significant because of the messages it holds for them, especially Elsa. She also rescues Agnarr in the Enchanted Forest as indicated in a flashback, which is significant because of how it affects the sisters in the present, as it led to their birth and is part of TheReveal of why Elsa has powers. |
| 436 | * SomedayThisWillComeInHandy: The lullaby that Iduna sings proves to be quite useful for her to realise that Ahtohallan could be the source of her daughter Elsa's magic. Elsa's awareness of Ahtohallan in turn helps Anna to get rid of the dam, and Elsa to save Arendelle from the flood just in time. |
| 437 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Iduna's name is spelt as "Idun" in ''Literature/AFrozenHeart'', but as Iduna in the cast listing for the Broadway show as well as in ''Frozen II''. |
| 438 | * SpiritAdvisor: In the ''Frozen II'' song "Show Yourself," a deceased Iduna sings with her daughter Elsa |
| 439 | --> '''Iduna''': ''You are the one you've been waiting for!'' |
| 440 | --> '''Elsa''': ''All of my life!'' |
| 441 | * StartingANewLife: After the mist wall formed around the Enchanted Forest, her home, young Iduna has to leave her free-spirited life as one of the Northuldra, unfortunately being separated from those she knew in the forest. Her RagsToRoyalty story begins soon after she escapes to Arendelle, eventually getting married to Agnarr and becoming the Queen of Arendelle. |
| 442 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Iduna looks almost identical to her daughters, just a bit older, with dark brown hair and a longer face shape and rounder jawline. |
| 443 | * SweetTooth: In the TieInNovel ''A Frozen Heart'', Iduna has a sweet tooth. |
| 444 | * SymbolMotifClothing: Queen Iduna's outfit features ''a lot'' of elaborate motifs; notably repeated from her Enchanted Forest clothing and Northuldra shawl is the quatrefoil-type design. The crocus flower also appears on her bodice, Iduna's favourite springtime flower. |
| 445 | * TragicDream: Iduna has always wished to go to Ahtohallan. She is especially inspired to attempt the voyage to find answers about Elsa's magic. Sadly, when she leaves Arendelle on a voyage with Agnarr, pretending that they would travel across the 'Southern Seas' instead of going north across the Dark Sea to Ahtohallan, they both encounter a strong storm at sea that wrecks the ship. |
| 446 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain: Iduna was born in the Enchanted Forest and spent her early years as a member of the Northuldra tribe, but was locked out of the forest when the mist closed it off. The mist wouldn't be lifted until six years after the shipwreck, and Iduna was not able to return to the forest. |
| 447 | * ZenSurvivor: {{Downplayed}}, but Iduna is shown to have experienced extended separation from her family, she hid many of her childhood memories and experiences, and has to see her daughters separated for a decade, because of what Agnarr decided was right. The lullaby she sang to the sisters has many hints as to how Elsa and Anna could find themselves, even when Iduna isn't there in person to guide them. Iduna is still be there for both sisters, but their success partly depends on their ''own'' courage to follow their paths. |

| 457 | |
| 458 | Agnarr's father, and Elsa and Anna's grandfather. |
| 459 | ---- |
| 460 | * AbusiveParent: In ''Dangerous Secrets''. He acts consistently neglectful towards Agnarr in the little we see of their relationship, opting to raise him as an official rather than a son. He explodes at him for showing the least bit of interest in the ways of the Northuldra and shames him for weeping when he learns his mother has been "taken away by evil spirits" (which is, by the way, one of Runeard's lies). Ultimately, he conditions Agnarr into repressing his feelings out of a fear of showing weakness. |
| 461 | * ANaziByAnyOtherName: He was a racist, petty tyrant. |
| 462 | %%He may also have been sexist and homophobic. |
| 463 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He presents himself as a peaceful and benevolent ruler. He welcomes the Northuldra people when they reveal themselves and even gains their trust by building a dam to act as a bridge between Arendelle and their forest. He is actually a murderous and greedy tyrant who [[FantasticRacist feels threatened by the Northuldra's power]], and his dam is truly a ploy to extort the Northuldra's land and force them to submit to his rule. |
| 464 | * BrokenPedestal: He is initially a highly respected and beloved king, and is viewed by his son and granddaughters as an honourable leader who sought peace with the Northuldra. Though Agnarr doesn't live to see the truth revealed, Anna and Elsa both lose their admiration of Runeard when they learn of his xenophobic and tyrannical intentions. Even the patriotic Mattias agrees to let Anna destroy Runeard's dam after she tells him the truth behind its construction. |
| 465 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: He serves as one to Hans from the first film. Both characters use [[BitchInSheepsClothing a benevolent act]] to get what they want -- Hans to usurp Arendelle, Runeard to gain the Northuldra's subjugation. But while Hans is motivated by a FreudianExcuse to gain power, Runeard is motivated by FantasticRacism and a determination to keep power he already has. Hans was also an active antagonist in the first film and directly took advantage of the conflict, while Runeard [[PosthumousCharacter is dead long before either film's events]] and the second film's conflict revolves entirely around the consequences of his past actions. |
| 466 | * DirtyCoward: He murders the unarmed Northuldra leader from behind with a sword after inviting said leader to a private tea. |
| 467 | * DisneyVillainDeath: The opening flashback shows him falling off a cliff during the battle with the Northuldra. This serves as an early meta-hint that he is, in fact, a villain. |
| 468 | * EngineeredHeroics: Attempted. While he presented it as a gift of peace, Runeard actually intended for the dam to weaken the Northuldra's land and starve them of resources. He believed that this would then prompt the Northuldra to trade with Arendelle in order to survive, allowing him to force them under his rule while pretending to be their generous friend and protector. Unfortunately for Runeard, the leader of the Northuldra realized that the dam was causing the problem and (having not realized that Runeard had done it on purpose) tried to tell Runeard about this during the celebration, [[HeKnowsTooMuch prompting Runeard to resort to murder]]. |
| 469 | * EvilAllAlong: Elsa and Anna always thought of him as a great king. Unfortunately, they learn he tricked the Northuldra and attacked them unprovoked out of fear, which left Anna heartbroken and Elsa completely furious, which she [[CallingTheOldManOut expresses]] to an ice memory of him. |
| 470 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He never understood why his wife Rita was still sad despite the superficial gifts he offered to her, never realizing she really wanted true love and freedom. |
| 471 | * EvilColonialist: When Runeard learns of his kingdom’s indigenous neighbours, he plans to oppress the Northuldra and bring them under his rule, under the guise of offering them friendship. |
| 472 | * EvilLaugh: In ''Dangerous Secrets'', Runeard utters an ominously hollow laugh right after asking this question to his soldiers, leaving Iduna to suspect he's up to no good: |
| 473 | -->'''King Runeard:''' Are you ready for the... [[DeadlyEuphemism festivities]]? |
| 474 | * EvilRedhead: In the prologue, he's shown to have reddish-auburn hair, much like Anna. It's later revealed that he was plotting to oppress the Northuldra people and instigated a war against them. |
| 475 | * FascistButInefficient: He is not a competent ruler and is also one of the first people to die in the war. |
| 476 | * FantasticRacism: He feared the Northuldra because they practice magic, so he had the dam created to weaken their resources and force them to trade with Arendelle. |
| 477 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]. While his past actions are more crucial to the conflict of the second film, what he did indirectly set the events of the first film in motion as well. |
| 478 | * HateSink: From what little we see of King Runeard, he is a real piece of work. Manipulative and greedy, he fears the Northuldra and their connection with magic as a threat to his power, so he tries to trick and oppress them. He even murders their unarmed leader in cold-blood when this plan is threatened. |
| 479 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Despite the Northuldra's peaceful intentions, he believes their access to the magic of the forest will make them entitled and pose a threat to his power. It is his own arrogance and sense of entitlement that motivates him to build the dam, which leads to his death and the mist falling over the forest. |
| 480 | * KarmicDeath: He murders the Northuldra leader in an attempt to cover his tracks and prevent his plan from being exposed. This provokes an all-out battle between Arendelle and Northuldra that results in him [[DisneyVillainDeath falling off a cliff]]. |
| 481 | * KnightOfCerebus: Runeard's true plans introduce some surprisingly heavy themes into the franchise, such as callous colonialism, oppression of indigenous peoples and even connotations of genocide. Compared to the previous antagonists, be they sniveling snobs or power-hungry princes, Runeard gives off a particularly dark aura. It's only apt that he is the [[KarmicDeath only Frozen villain to pay for his deeds with his life]]. And it's the revelation of his crimes, including his murder of the Northuldra chief, that pave the way to the film's darkest and emotional scenes. |
| 482 | * NeverMyFault: In ''Dangerous Secrets'', Runeard is always blaming elusive "spirits" for his own faults, cultivating xenophobia towards magic-users out of an unwillingness to admit to his own mistakes. |
| 483 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: While his attempt to conquer the Northuldra causes the mist to fall on the forest, it's also indirectly responsible for Agnarr and Iduna meeting and falling in love, which serves as the first crucial step towards the forest being freed decades later. |
| 484 | * NoSongForTheWicked: Due to his limited screentime as a PosthumousCharacter, King Runeard does not have a VillainSong, nor does he take part in any of the film's musical aspects. |
| 485 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He claimed that the reason why he wants to conquer the Northuldra tribe is to protect the people of Arendelle. However, this argument completely falls moot as his true motive was to secure his own position as King of Arendelle because he believed that they could potentially overthrow him due to them being magic-users. ''Dangerous Secrets'' even shows that the reason why Runeard came up with this ideology is that he wanted someone to blame his own faults on instead of maturing and taking responsibility for them, meaning he just wanted the easy way out, and the war he created led to the deaths of dozens of soldiers on both sides, leaving many of the children orphaned. |
| 486 | * ParentalNeglect: He pays little attention to Agnarr when meeting with the Northuldra, save for telling him to stand straight, and the care for Agnarr during this period was mostly overseen by Lieutenant Mattias instead of him. |
| 487 | ** In the ''Frozen II'' novelization, Lieutenant Mattias tries to cheer Agnarr when he seems to be feeling left behind by his father. |
| 488 | ** In ''Dangerous Secrets'', Agnarr even muses that he wishes Mattias had been his father instead. |
| 489 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Looks down at the Northuldra with great contempt and planned on subjugating them under his rule because of his FantasticRacism. |
| 490 | * PosthumousCharacter: He was killed when Agnarr was a boy, long before Elsa or Anna were born. In ''Frozen II'', it is stated that he has been dead for 34 years. |
| 491 | * ShadowArchetype: |
| 492 | ** To Elsa: Both are monarchs who deal with fear related to magic's impact on their rule, but Runeard shows what Elsa could be if she valued her power over people's lives. Elsa fears people's reactions if they find out their queen has magic, but overcomes her fear and develops a trust toward others closest to her, while Runeard fears that magic wielders would threaten his rule, and allows said fear to corrupt his judgement in order to protect his power, even showing a selfish willingness to attack others. Elsa also fears her power corrupting her, but learns that magic isn't inherently bad and eventually embraces hers as a gift, while Runeard never learns. |
| 493 | ** To Anna: |
| 494 | *** Similarly, Runeard and Anna also both deal with fear of how magic will affect the status quo, but for very different reasons and have very different responses, and Runeard shows what Anna could be if she let her fear overrule her empathy for other people. To drive the parallel home, they're even the two characters in the sequel with the most similar complexions and hair color. However, Runeard is afraid for his own sake of the Northuldra's connection with magic in itself and that they might use it to challenge his own power, and so he uses subterfuge to attack them. By contrast, Anna celebrates and encourages Elsa's connection with magic, her fear instead being of Elsa dying if she goes too far, [[TheCreon even though such an outcome would increase her own power.]] She is straightforward with Elsa and rather than try to stop Elsa from exploring magic, sincerely offers to help her do so in a safe way and even is the one to help her embrace it. |
| 495 | *** Realizing what Runeard did plays a major role in spurring Anna to accept Elsa's pursuit of a magical destiny. |
| 496 | ** Is also one in ''Dangerous Secrets'' to Agnarr: Both were Kings of Arendelle who each married a woman from a different land and both had children. However, Agnarr genuinely cared about his daughters, as well as his wife Iduna, even upon finding out about her Northuldran heritage, and they had a happy marriage. On the other hand, Runeard was verbally abusive to Agnarr, who was his own son, for much of his life, even lying to him that his mother, Rita, was taken by evil spirits, and shaming him for crying over his mother's absence. His marriage with Rita was not out of love, and he, shallow as he was, couldn't understand why Rita was still sad even after all the superficial gifts he gave her, as he never gave true love nor freedom, leading to her willingly vanishing from Arendelle for good. |
| 497 | * SlimeBall: He is callous, irresponsible, narrow-minded, self-absorbed, cantankerous, hateful, deceitful, uncaring, mean-spirited, incompetent, treacherous, dishonorable and inhumane. Among other bad traits. |
| 498 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He died long before either of his granddaughters were born, but his betrayal of the Northuldra causes the second film's main conflict and also indirectly allowed Elsa to be born with powers in the first place. |
| 499 | * TheSociopath: He shows absolutely no remorse for his actions, and the atrocities he's committed are purely for [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]] benefit. |
| 500 | ** The tie-in book ''Dangerous Secrets'' reveals that he was grossly neglectful and emotionally abusive towards his family. At the end of the day, Runeard only cared for controlling everything in his path. |
| 501 | * StrawHypocrite: He seemingly prioritizes peace with the Northuldra when they reveal themselves and creates the dam as a bridge between their people and the kingdom. He truly intends to weaken and subjugate the Northuldra through this ruse, and is even willing to kill their leader and provoke a war in an attempt to cover his true plans. |
| 502 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Runeard's son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters are all shown to be flawed but ultimately good people, as well as the soldiers who served him like Mattias. But despite his [[VillainWithGoodPublicity strong reputation]], Runeard himself is an entitled and truly despicable tyrant. |
| 503 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He plans to segregate and oppress the Northuldra in order to preserve his own power and position, and nearly starts a war in pursuit of it. He doesn't live to see the consequences of his actions or how they affect his kingdom and family for future generations. |
| 504 | * VillainousLegacy: Died long before Elsa and Anna were even born, but it is his crimes against the Northuldrans that instigate the natural imbalance that causes the second film's conflict. |
| 505 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Prior to the truth about him being exposed in ''Frozen II'', he is regarded by the people of Arendelle as a noble ruler who tried to make peace between their kingdom and the Northuldra. |
| 506 | * WalkingSpoiler: Not a lot can be said about him without revealing that he was responsible for everything, trying to force Northuldra into his rule. |
| 507 | * WouldHurtAChild: Considering he constructs a dam and sparks a war to hurt the entire population. Made worse in ''Dangerous Secrets'', where some of his soldiers express a clear goal to kill any Northuldran on sight and seem willing to do the same to the twelve-year old Iduna before they're tricked into thinking she's an Arendellian. |
| 508 | * WouldHarmASenior: He strikes down the unaware, unarmed, and elderly Northuldran leader. |

| 555 | |
| 556 | 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. |
| 557 | ---- |
| 558 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In [[Literature/TheSnowQueen the original tale]], they were evil. Here, they may be meddlesome, but they're also kind and always willing to help. |
| 559 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: The stage musical calls them "hidden people". Based on Huldufólk, elves from Scandinavian mythology. |
| 560 | * AllThereInTheManual: ''Frozen: The Essential Guide'' says that they turn to rocks during the day, although this is never seen in the movie. |
| 561 | * AllThereInTheScript: Bulda, Cliff, and Gothi's names are never stated in the film and are only known through the credits and script. |
| 562 | * 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. |
| 563 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: To Kristoff by listing all of his flaws. They're actually an entire amazingly embarrassing ''family'' of trolls. |
| 564 | * 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). |
| 565 | * BarefootCartoonAnimal: They wear moss as clothing but nothing on their feet. |
| 566 | %%* BigBrotherWorship: The younger trolls show this towards Kristoff. |
| 567 | * BrutalHonesty: Pabbie tells and shows a ''child'' what will happen if she doesn't control her powers. One of the things he shows her is ''being attacked by an angry mob''. |
| 568 | * CrowdSong: "Fixer Upper", which has every other line sung by a different troll in the group. |
| 569 | * CutenessProximity: Bulda decides to adopt Kristoff and Sven because they were "cuties". |
| 570 | * 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. He's more straightforward in the sequel. |
| 571 | * TheFairFolk: PlayedWith in that they never act malicious towards humans, although they do use ExactWords, as per usual with this trope. |
| 572 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: Mainly in their song where none of them finishes a line that they start. |
| 573 | * 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. |
| 574 | * 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. |
| 575 | * ImTakingHimHomeWithMe: Bulda adopts Kristoff and Sven as soon as she meets them, simply because they're cute. |
| 576 | * TheLeader: Pabbie is the leader of the trolls. |
| 577 | * {{Love Freak}}s: Their song "Fixer Upper" which is all about the virtues of love. |
| 578 | %%* MyBelovedSmother: Bulda, Kristoff's adoptive mother. |
| 579 | %% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample |
| 580 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: For the duration of "Fixer Upper", the trolls are all over Anna and Kristoff. |
| 581 | * NiceGuy: The trolls may be overbearing and inappropriate, but they mean well and love Kristoff a lot. |
| 582 | * 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. |
| 583 | * OnlySaneMan: Pabbie is the only reasonable one because he's the only one not involved in "Fixer Upper". |
| 584 | * ParentalSubstitute: Specifically, Cliff and Bulda are this to Kristoff and Sven because they adopted the pair. |
| 585 | * PerpetualFrowner: Pabbie rarely ever smiles, to befit his serious personality. |
| 586 | * 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. |
| 587 | * 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). |
| 588 | * PowerOfLove: They firmly believe in this. Bulda says love is "powerful and strange", but it can't actually [[LoveRedeems change anyone,]] because people don't really change. |
| 589 | * 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. |
| 590 | * RockMonster: Of the UglyCute variant. Their bodies seem to be made of stone, and are able to disguise themselves as boulders. |
| 591 | * 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. |
| 592 | * ShipperOnDeck: Ship Anna and Kristoff quite gleefully. It's the root point of "Fixer Upper". |
| 593 | * ShownTheirWork: In most Nordic folklore, trolls are evildoers who eat humans, especially children, or try to trick them. But there are also stories where they are nothing more than magical neighbors who borrow stuff from the farmers, and if the farmers treat them well, they are rewarded with gold or luck. They also love children, so the easiest way to make friends with a troll is to be nice to their kids, and it was said that '''they took care of the human children that were abandoned in the woods'''. The stories include that the trolls are particularly attracted to '''blond hair and beauty''', and often treat the child as if it were truly one of their own. In return, they give the child gifts such as strength, stamina, or an affinity for the wild. Which is exactly what they do with Kristoff and Sven. |
| 594 | ** Especially since [[https://twitter.com/alittlejelee/status/422384182388482048 Jennifer Lee confirmed that Kristoff is indeed an orphan.]] [[http://www.ourkidsmom.com/interview-filmmakers-disneys-frozen/ Jennifer Lee stated that Kristoff was an orphan and wild child that just couldn’t be tied down to the orphanage. He loved sneaking out and exploring the woods and following the ice teams and befriended Sven in the process. On the night Sven and Kristoff follow Anna and Elsa’s parents into the woods, Kristoff finds his family. In a way, Anna gave Kristoff his family and it goes full circle with Kristoff helping Anna find love with her own family (Elsa) in the end.]] |
| 595 | * 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. |
| 596 | %%%* SqueakyEyes: Whenever the Trolls blink in unison. |
| 597 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The [[FlowersOfFemininity female trolls have at least one flower in their hair]]; the males don't. |

| 609 | |
| 610 | |
| 611 | A large snow golem created by Elsa to keep people out of her castle. |
| 612 | ---- |
| 613 | * 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. |
| 614 | * AscendedExtra: Serves as a boss and the GuestStarPartyMember for Arendelle in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', with all the humans DemotedToExtra as a consequence. |
| 615 | * 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. |
| 616 | * BerserkButton: Do not throw snowballs or arrows at Marshmallow. He'll immediately flip out and give you a chase. |
| 617 | * {{Bouncer}}: It's his job to keep people out of Elsa's castle. |
| 618 | * 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. |
| 619 | * CainAndAbel: Downplayed. He doesn't hesitate on striking his "brother" Olaf, although he doesn't go so far as to try to kill him. Also, his "mother" is the one who told him to remove Olaf from the castle in the first place. |
| 620 | * TheCameo: In ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'', he's one of the monsters on the tapestries and in the Realm of Monsters, albeit a PaletteSwap of him. |
| 621 | * CreatorCameo: Marshmallow is voiced by Paul Briggs, who was the head of story writing. |
| 622 | * DisneyVillainDeath: Falls into a chasm after Hans cuts his leg off. TheStinger [[DisneyDeath reveals that he survived]]. |
| 623 | * DubNameChange: The Spanish dub renamed him ''Merengue'' because marshmallows are not very well known in Spain. Also played similarly in the Russian dub renamed ''Zefirka'' after zefir, another confectionary with merengue-like shape but soft airy consistency (hence the wind-derived name) with a diminutive suffix. |
| 624 | * EdibleThemeNaming: His name is Marshmallow. |
| 625 | * 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. |
| 626 | * FluffyTheTerrible: You wouldn't expect a massive Snowlem to be named ''Marshmallow''. |
| 627 | * GlowingEyes: Marshmallow's empty eye sockets glow blue when he's enraged. |
| 628 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he's about to attack, they shine. |
| 629 | * GoneHorriblyRight: Elsa creates him to throw Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf out of her ice palace, believing doing so will protect them from her PowerIncontinence. This results in Olaf falling apart, which [[PullingThemselvesTogether is itself fixed not long afterward]], but upsets Anna, who retaliates by tossing a snowball at Marshmallow. He then takes on a more menacing form, with icicle claws and spikes, and chases them off a cliff. |
| 630 | * HealingFactor: Implied, since he survived getting his leg cut off and falling into a gorge. Being made of snow in a snow mountain helps. |
| 631 | * 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. |
| 632 | * 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. |
| 633 | * MeaningfulName: He is white (due to being a [[{{Snowlems}} snowlem]]) and he is named after a ''white'' candy. |
| 634 | * MightyGlacier: He's very big and strong, but lacks quick reflexes. A literal example too, as he's made of ice and snow. |
| 635 | * MookPromotion: He crowns himself the new ruler of Elsa's ice kingdom in the end. |
| 636 | * MyMasterRightOrWrong: Merely does what Elsa wants him to do, no matter what that is. |
| 637 | * NonMaliciousMonster: His purpose is to keep people out of Elsa's palace, not to harm people, but will do what it takes to fill that goal without thinking through the consequences. Elsa doesn't want Anna, Kristoff, or Olaf hurt when she has him throw them out of the palace, but he still does so in a very dangerous manner without any indication that he realizes what he's doing other than filling his one objective. And when Anna throws a harmless ''snowball'' at him in "retaliation" for hurting Olaf, he responds instinctively [[DisproportionateRetribution by growing ice spikes, roaring angrily, and chasing the group off a cliff]], again with a single-mindedness that shows no awareness of moral norms or proportionate responses. |
| 638 | * TheNoseless: Unlike Olaf, it's permanent. He has no carrot nose. |
| 639 | %%* NumberTwo: To Elsa. |
| 640 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Or rather, only given a name by an offhand comment. |
| 641 | * OneManArmy: He's big, he's strong, and he kicks lots of ass! He takes on Hans and his accompanying guards by himself. |
| 642 | * 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. |
| 643 | * 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 humour, 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. |
| 644 | * {{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. |
| 645 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Marshmallow grows spikes made of icicles when he becomes angry. |
| 646 | * 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. |
| 647 | * SuperStrength: His greater size than Olaf naturally means his "muscles" are capable of more. |
| 648 | * TakingYouWithMe: When Hans cuts off Marshmallow's leg, Marshmallow tries to grab at Hans and pull him into the chasm as well. |
| 649 | * TookALevelInKindness: |
| 650 | ** 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. Of course, since Elsa also lightened up as well, this makes plenty of sense. |
| 651 | ** The Post-Credit Scene of Frozen II shows him happily listening to Olaf explain the events of the Film. |
| 652 | * TopHeavyGuy: His arms and torso are massive compared to his legs. |
| 653 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Elsa, and he'll pursue his job with single-minded zeal, as seen when he chased Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf off a cliff. |
| 654 | * 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. |
| 655 | * 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. |
| 656 | * 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. |

| 664 | ->'''Voiced by:''' N/A |
| 665 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''WesternAnimation/FrozenFever'' | ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'' |
| 666 | |
| 667 | Tiny snow creatures that Elsa accidentally creates when she sneezes throughout ''Frozen Fever''. |
| 668 | ---- |
| 669 | * AmbiguousGender: All of the Snowgies look the same, so how Olaf can tell them apart, much less what gender they are, is unknown. He gives at least one of them a feminine name, "Crystal," and at least two masculine names, "Ansel" and "William," but gives most Snowgies gender-neutral names such as "Powder." He also refers to two of them as his brothers. |
| 670 | * 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. |
| 671 | * ArmlessBiped: All of them have two legs but no arms. |
| 672 | * 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. |
| 673 | * TheCameo: They only make a brief appearance in TheStinger for ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII''. |
| 674 | * CreatingLifeIsUnforeseen: Elsa didn't intend to build them; they were just being generated by accident due to her cold. |
| 675 | * 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. |
| 676 | * IconicSequelCharacter: Since their appearance in ''Frozen Fever'', they've been featured in numerous storybooks and the ''Lego Frozen Northern Lights'' short. |
| 677 | * MalfunctionMalady: They were created by accident because Elsa was sick with a cold at the time. |
| 678 | * OddNameOut: Olaf gave all of them snow and ice-related names, save for "William". |
| 679 | * PerpetualSmiler: 90% of their appearance in ''Frozen Fever'' alone involves smiling. |
| 680 | * RuleOfSymbolism: Olaf represented Elsa's innocent humour, and more importantly her sisterly love for Anna. Marshmallow represented her apprehensive decisions to be isolated; the Snowgies represent her more playful side. |
| 681 | * ShoutOut: A FreezeFrameBonus shows one of them resembles a small [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Baymax]]. |
| 682 | * {{Snowlems}}: Par for the course for creatures created by Elsa's magic. |

| 693 | |
| 694 | The son of an Arendelle soldier who served King Runeard and was trapped in the Enchanted Forest after the mist rose. |
| 695 | ---- |
| 696 | * AudienceSurrogate: PlayedForLaughs at one point. When Olaf recounts the events of the first film to Mattias, his guard and the Northuldra, Mattias' many reactions seem to be comedic mimics to common audience reactions to the first film. |
| 697 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: He and his men have been cut off from the outside world for a few decades, so they're surprised at how much has changed. |
| 698 | * ImmigrantPatriotism: His line about his father "making a good life for us in Arendelle" implies his family wasn't born there (thus giving an actual explanation for his different skin colour and averting BlackVikings). Nonetheless he is intensely loyal to Arendelle, and becomes a commanding officer in its Royal Guard. |
| 699 | * ManlyTears: Cries multiple times throughout ''Frozen II'', despite being a grown man and a trained, competent soldier. |
| 700 | * NiceGuy: He's not only undyingly loyal to Arendelle but he's also a good ParentalSubstitute to the young Agnarr and later Anna, giving her some advice about life. |
| 701 | * RankUp: Gets promoted to General after Anna is crowned Queen of Arendelle. |
| 702 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The leader of the trapped Arendelle soldiers and once the news of Runeard's murder on the leader of the Northuldra reach him, he's the one of them who agrees to let Anna break the dam. |
| 703 | * TokenMinority: One of the few black characters in the movies; also the only one with plot-relevance. |
| 704 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Arendelle: "Protect Arendelle at all costs." |

| 738 | |
| 739 | 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. |
| 740 | ---- |
| 741 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Besides his soft and somewhat effeminate personality, his family in the sauna seems to consist of a young man and four boys. However, it isn't clear if one of the members who appears to be a child is actually the young man's female partner or a different relative (such as a younger brother or cousin). Oaken says "Hi family!" but they might not even be directly related to him. In ''Frozen II'', there's a shot where a group of Arendellians are celebrating and he lifts up a man into a hug. |
| 742 | * ApologeticAttacker: 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. |
| 743 | * 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. |
| 744 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: "''Vhat'' did you call me?" ''[cuts to Oaken hauling Kristoff to the front porch and throwing him into the snow]'' |
| 745 | * BigBeautifulMan: Oaken is a big man and quite a cutie. |
| 746 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "HOO-hoo!" |
| 747 | * CreatorCameo: He's voiced by Disney director and writer Chris Williams. |
| 748 | * DemotedToExtra: Although he appears in some scenes, Oaken has no dialogue in ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII''. |
| 749 | * FunnyForeigner: He has a thick Swedish accent, and some very stereotypical mannerisms. |
| 750 | * 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 (Kristoff himself being a pretty big and muscular guy). He then bodily throws Kristoff out with no effort whatsoever. |
| 751 | * HonestJohnsDealership: A rare sincerely nice example. |
| 752 | ** 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".]] |
| 753 | ** In the musical, he promises Kristoff that his usual overpriced products are free of charge...if they all die from the eternal winter. If they survive, then Kristoff owes 10,000 kroner. |
| 754 | * InnocentBlueEyes: To show his pure and sweet nature. |
| 755 | * LargeAndInCharge: Is thrice bigger and larger than his family and is the one who runs the FamilyBusiness. |
| 756 | * NiceGuy: He's sweet, pleasant and helpful. |
| 757 | * NoHeroDiscount: |
| 758 | ** Doesn't matter how his business is doing, Kristoff has to pay for those carrots, the axe, and the rope. In fact, Oaken's jacked up the prices of his winter gear quite outrageously due to "supply and demand". This is despite outright stating that ''nobody'' is out in the blizzard except Anna and Kristoff and knowing full well that anyone who needed the ice pick and rope probably won't survive without them. |
| 759 | ** Averted in "WesternAnimation/FrozenFever" when he gives away a cold remedy to Elsa and Anna, singing, genuinely concerned: |
| 760 | --->'''Oaken:''' What, are you sick? How about a cold remedy, of my own invention? |
| 761 | ** He's also quick to toss Olaf out of the sauna in ''Olaf's Frozen Adventure'' before Olaf can melt completely in a bucket and gives Olaf a towel. |
| 762 | * SignificantAnagram: Olaf points out in "Once Upon A Snowman", "Wandering Oaken" is an anagram of "Naked Norwegian". |
| 763 | * StoutStrength: He effortlessly throws Kristoff out of his house when his BerserkButton was pushed. |
| 764 | * 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. |

| 773 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He gets spooked when snow falls on him from a tree braunch, Anna falls off him, and he runs back into the royal castle, leaving her alone in the woods on her mission to find and bring back Elsa. |
