Queen Elsa of Arendelle, also known as the Ice Queen, is a supporting character on Once Upon a Time. She was born in Arendelle with innate magical powers that allowed her to control - a term used loosely - snow and ice, and was isolated for the majority of her growing up due to her inability to master such powers and her fear, added to her parents' fear, that she could hurt someone. Her sister Anna became of great assistance, but when their mysterious aunt Ingrid came about, the two sisters were separated, and Elsa was trapped inside a magical urn. She was ultimately accidentally released in Storybrooke, Maine, where she set off on a quest to find her sister and get some closure on what happened to them.
