12----
13!!This fanfic contains examples of:
14
15* AbhorrentAdmirer: Not physically anyways, but what originally drew Anna to Elsa is that she is the only person who doesn't like her and the only person Anna met that didn't want to get to know her. The abhorrent part comes from the way Anna treated Elsa before.
16* AmbiguousEnding: It is never stated that Anna and Elsa back together, but they share a dance and speak each other's names. However it is greatly hinted that they do.
17* AdaptationNameChange: Instead of Agnarr, Anna's father is named is Kai.
18* AdaptationalJerkass:
19** Zigzagged with Hans. He isn't murderous like he is in the film, making him less villainous, but he also takes on other jerkish qualities that his canon self does not display, physically beating Elsa for enjoyment and threatening to ruin the life of anyone who defies him.
20** Played straight with Anna, who in canon is Elsa's [[UndyingLoyalty faithful]] [[TheChampion champion]] and TheHeroine who goes on a journey through the blizzard alone to help Elsa rather than let the fearful townspeople treat Elsa as a monster, is now [[AlphaBitch a spoiled selfish popular girl]] in this version, willing to throw Elsa under a bus to please other people. While she originally thought about making friends with Elsa, Hans convinced her that she can't be good all the time and frequently bullied her. Only after seven years does she realize she was wrong.
21* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Olaf and Sven are humans in this fic despite being a {{snowlem}} and a reindeer respectively in the original film.
22* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the film Anna was a bubbly awkward girl who always was herself, although she thought who she was wasn't very impressive. In this fic, while she is still cheery, she constantly feels the need to meet the expectations of her friends, family and teachers, letting them sculpt every part of her life. From "having" to be "miss perfect" to "having" to bully Elsa. This causes an emotional turmoil later on when her friends and family pressure her to get back with Hans and outright forbid her from being with Elsa.
23* AdaptationalSexuality: Anna is definitely Bi in this story. If Elsa isn't Bi then she's a lesbian.
24* AgeLift: Usually Anna is younger than Elsa, Kristoff and Hans. Here they went to fifth grade together.
25* AllAbusersAreMale: Hans has no qualms about punching Elsa, strangling Rapunzel, hitting Belle just to make Elsa unhappy, and nearly hit Anna in a fit of rage.

Brandon punches Elsa when he's drunk for refusing to have sex with him and Bart pushes Anna off the benches for rejecting him.
26* AlphaBitch:
27** Anna starts off as this, popular and a bully to Elsa, thanks to Hans' influence until she realizes how much Elsa hates her, causing her to rethink her actions and pull a full-round HeelFaceTurn.
28** Rapunzel also comes off as this being part of the popular crowd and a bully to Elsa herself.
29* ArcWords: Only Exception. Elsa is the only person Anna gets nervous over and craves and Anna is the only person Elsa would forgive.
30* AttemptedRape: Bradon tries to do this to Elsa while drunk, only to be chased away by Anna. Hans tries to do this to Anna only to be chased by Elsa.
31* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why Elsa is friends with Kristoff and Olaf. Anna finally earns Elsa's approval after standing up to Hans for her.
32* BrokenAce: On the surface Anna is "little miss perfect," strong, independent, the person that everyone wants to know. It is revealed that Anna feels immense pressure from everyone around her (friends, family, teachers) to be "perfect" in their eyes. She is constantly pressured to a point that when she breaks up with Hans everyone she knows tries to pressure her into getting back together with him. After many years she finally breaks down when she loses Elsa. She later admits to herself that it is because of this desire to meet others expectations she thought she 'had' to bully Elsa to get approval from Hans and their friends.

34%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Kristoff to Elsa, but they never get together.
35* TheBully:
36** Hans is this to Elsa from the second they meet, even being physically abusive.

53* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Hans is first introduced as a sociopathic bully with no qualms about humiliating, bullying or abusing a girl since her first day of school for fun. Anna is a genuinely nice girl but can easily be given into temptation to meet another persons expectations, even if it means hurting another. Olaf and Kristoff are shown to be nice guys.
54* FalseFriend: All of Anna's "friends" qualify as this, they constantly hold Anna to a pedestal and pressure her into keeping up her popular image. From outright forbidding her from being friends with Elsa because they are "supposed" to be enemies to manipulating her to get back with Hans.
55* HateSink: Hans has no redeeming traits, he is a nasty, violent selfish {{Jerkass}} who practically tortures any man or woman to get what he wants, to get back at others or just for fun.
56* TheHeart: Despite being made a social outcast and bullied by Anna since her first day of school, Elsa can't stand by and let Kristoff hurt her to get back at Hans. Even though she hates her at this point. Next to Belle, she is the most moral person in the entire fanfic.

59* HighSchoolAU: Unlike the movie, this fic is mostly set in an American school, from 5th grade to high school graduation to be exact.
60* HeroicSelfDeprecation: As a result of being bullied and laughed at for seven years and her parents not being around Elsa has serious self esteem issues.

Luckily she gets over it soon enough.
61* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Elsa leaves Anna so she doesn't have to lose her family.
62* ItsAllAboutMe: Hans doesn't truly care about any one but himself and will abuse/ruin someones life to get what he wants. Anna has shades of this, she personally doesn't want to get to know anyone since she is the person everyone is lining up to talk to, and instantly becomes upset once Elsa brushes her off. She admits to being a spoiled and selfish brat who didn't think about her actions much and was just having a good time. But after getting to know Elsa she becomes much more humble. Jumpstarting her HeelFaceTurn
63* IfICantHaveYou: Hans has no problem ruining Anna's life if they aren't together anymore.

65%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* JerkJock: Hans big time. Averted with Kristoff and Olaf.
66* IrrationalHatred: In Hans's mind, Elsa is a pathetic weakling who would be better off disappearing off the face of the earth. He hates her so much that just seeing her during his date causes his blood to boil. It gets no better after he discovers Anna loves her.
67%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* {{Jerkass}}: Hans (along with most other guys at the school) and his friends including Anna. Anna learns her lesson though (see below).
68* JerkassToOne: Anna WANTED to be friends with Elsa when she first saw her but under Hans' influence she bullied her instead. While she was still considered a goody two shoes and kind to everyone else she either stood by and watched Hans bully Elsa or participated herself.
69* JerkassRealization: Anna had one after Elsa (though Anna didn't recognize her because she was drunk) coldly rejects her and throws her out of her room at a party. Since Anna in this version is spoiled and used to everyone wanting to talk to her this had a profound effect even after she realized who she was talking too.
70* JustTheWayYouAre: Elsa likes the REAL Anna with flaws, not the Anna who has to pretend she's perfect all the time just to meet everyone else's standards.
71* KickTheDog: Hans has bullied and physically abused Elsa since the day they met for fun. At one point he only allowed a guy into his group if he would date Elsa just to break up with her later. And in the present story when Elsa gets a new girlfriend (Belle) he beats her in front of Belle then tries to hit the girlfriend to make her break up with Elsa.
72* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: The reason Anna becomes attracted to Elsa is because she's the only person who didn't want to get to know her [[spoiler: although given the way Anna has treated her this isn't surprising]]. The reason Anna falls IN LOVE with Elsa is because, unlike everyone else, she doesn't hold Anna to a standard and accepts people as they are despite their flaws, making her very comfortable.
73* LackOfEmpathy: Hans has ZERO problem beating up a woman for no reason and will shamelessly ruin the life of a guy he doesn't even know and his so called girlfriend Anna to get what he wants.

76* LoveRedeems: Elsa to Anna. Anna becomes a nicer person because of falling in love with Elsa. Anna stays with Hans for a time hoping this, but nothing.
77* LovableJock: Kristoff and Olaf are on the basketball team and very popular. But they still defend Elsa.
78%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* LoveTriangle: Between Anna, Hans and Elsa. Later between Elsa, Belle and Anna.
79* MyGreatestFailure: By the 18th chapter, Anna's greatest regret is that she decided to listen to Hans and be mean to Elsa. Admitting she would do anything to take back what she did. Anna's greatest regret in general is that her desire to meet the expectations of everyone around her forced her to do all her action in life.
80* TheNapoleon: Edna Mode from the Incredibles is the principal of the school, but despite her size you do not want to upset her. The only person who can calm her down is Belle. [[spoiler: She is also the tennis coach and Belle is her star player. After learning about Hans' behavior towards Elsa, she kicks him off the football field and has him suspended, finally freeing Elsa of him for good.]]
81* ObliviouslyEvil: Anna didn't seem to understand that her treatment of Elsa was wrong at first. She even questions why Elsa doesn't like her after trying to talk to her.
82* OddFriendship: Though they all love each other, Kristoff and Olaf are completely different from Elsa. SO much Anna wondered why they hang out since Elsa is way more sophisticated than them.
83* ParentalNeglect: Downplayed. Elsa's parents are always working and are hardly ever at home, although they truly love their daughter and are willing to tolerate Anna's parents for Elsa to be happy. She describes them as "not the best parents but not the worst" [[spoiler: since they always provide her with comfortable living and let Olaf and Kristoff keep her company at their house]].
84* ParentsAsPeople: Elsa's parents are always working and are hardly ever at home, she describes them as "not the best parents but not the worst" [[spoiler: since they always provide her with comfortable living and let Olaf and Kristoff keep her company at their house]]. Although they truly love their daughter and are willing to tolerate Anna's parents for Elsa to be happy. Anna's parents in contrast are always around her and spoil her, although in the end they prove to be controlling and selfish. When Anna breaks up with Hans they practically try and force them back together and when they find out Elsa's parents are rivals of theirs they threaten to disown Anna if she so much as interacts with Elsa.
85%%Needs more context about the perky part.* PerkyFemaleMinion: Anna was basically this to Hans. Hans was the leader of Elsa's bullying; everything Anna did was just following his lead.
86* PopularityFoodChain: Definitely the defining state of the school. Hans and Anna on top, Elsa at the bottom.
87%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ReplacementGoldfish: Belle to Elsa after she believes Anna was fooling with her. Temporarily when they both learn the truth and Belle encourages Elsa to get back with Anna.
88* ReformedBully: Anna to Elsa. Anna starts off the story as one of Elsa's bullies but later becomes nicer and even falls in love with Elsa.
89* StarcrossedLovers: Elsa and Anna have been classified as "the outcast" and "Ms. popular" for so long people say it is wrong when they start hanging out together. Played Straight when it turns out their parents are rivals and Anna's parents threaten to disown Anna if she stays with Elsa.
90* StepfordSmiler: Anna thinks that her whole life is perfect the way it is and that bullying Elsa/her friends rivalry with Elsa's friends is for the best. But she realizes that she had based her entire life off of meeting everyone's expectations and this takes a tremendous toll on her when she decides she no longer wants be be enemies anymore and her friends constantly tell her she "has" to stay the same. She is basically forced to keep up the image of "the perfect popular girl" whether she wants too or not.
91* SmallNameBigEgo: Hans would rather let Kristoff beat Anna than let them dent his pride.
92* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Anna gives one to Rapunzel about her ruining her chances with Elsa and Hans for being selfish and making Rapunzel split her and Elsa up.

94* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: Hans is every bit as nasty to Elsa from when he is a young kid as an older teenager.
95* TheSociopath: Hans may look charming and nice guy, but he is heartless, manipulative and selfish. He has bullied and physically abused Elsa since the day they met for fun. He beats up and threatens anyone else who angers him and is only interested in Anna because she's popular. All the guys in the fanfic basically qualify as this, they all show willingness to hit a girl, even Kristoff had be held back from punching Anna.
96* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Anna didn't think tripping Elsa on her first day would be that bad. But it got Elsa labeled as a outcast, made Hans and his friends her personal bullies, and inadvertently put the basketball (Kristoff and Olaf's team) and football teams (that Hans is on) against each other and divided the school.
97* UngratefulBastard: Anna is pushed off a balcony by another man and Elsa catches her. Hans' reaction: beat up Elsa.
98* UsedToBeASweetKid: Anna was labeled a goody two shoes until Hans convinced her that she can't be good all the time, and first started by tripping Elsa on her first day of school, twice, making her a social outcast.

99* UnequalPairing: Anna is the most popular girl in school and Elsa is a outcast (because of Anna and Hans).
100* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Even before they got together Anna became this to Elsa after her HeelFaceTurn going as far as slap Hans. In later chapters Elsa beat up Hans for trying to hit Belle.
