Why isn't there a "none of these"/"other" option? O.o

My favorite part about Elsa is her elegance.

EDIT: Thanks for adding an option for other!

^ Very true, I added a "other" option.

The reason I didn't add "none" was because I just made a poll giving people a reason to say why they didn't like her and didn't want to include that here. The DP club can get a little too negative as it is. =/

I think she's interesting.

I love what we find out of her personality. She's warm (yet blunt), caring, proper, irritable, over-protective, playful, insecure, anti-social, reactive, etc.

Personality, style, love for Anna and relatability.

A lot of things, actually.

Tbh, I love the raw emotion we saw. She has a lot of emotional depth, and I found it very compelling to watch, especially how her fear got the best of her and resulted in her making impulsive and illogical decisions and running away from her problems. It's very realistic.

I think that this might go under "relatable" but personally, I thought the creators of Frozen tried a bit too hard with making her relatable to teenage girls, so I don't like that about her. It's a trend, these days, to consider yourself a special snowflake and feel the need to "let it go."

^^^totally agree on the special snowflake thing. I think that's the biggest reason people love her.

I also love her elegance but I do love her clothes too.

magnoliainmay: I think you're using the term "special snowflake" a little too liberally and I don't think that's entirely fair. You also seem to be implying that anyone that relates to Elsa's emotional struggles or feel like saying "let it go" are just idiot teenagers that think of themselves as misunderstood special snowflakes, which is also incredibly unfair.

I think anyone that's suffered from fear, stress, anxiety, depression, self-repression, tried to hide something about themselves that they thought/knew their family/society wouldn't accept (homosexuality, Aspergers, autism, social awkwardness, etc) felt exhausted from trying to conform to social norms, etc. can relate to her struggles.

It's not just about being a "special snowflake" (although there are idiot teenagers that can walk away with that impression), it's just anyone who's struggled with themselves and their place in their immediate society.

A few things

@Tygers_Eye: Which is why The Little Mermaid and Mulan have had such massive followings for years.... Elsa's is the extreme version of this. But the mermaid you hate doesn't fit into her oceanic society, which is also a metaphor for people who don't "fit" into the social norms under which they're forced to live. Same for Mulan, as well.

One of the few things I like about her. That's why I wish they would've stuck with the original villain idea for Elsa.

What I love most about her is how she embraced who she was after a lifetime of hiding it. :)

8804: I didn't say Elsa was the only one. I was just saying her struggle is very applicable to those of many real people in real life, and that one need not be an idiot teenager who think of his or herself as a misunderstood special snowflake to relate.

I'd argue it's different for Ariel though, since she doesn't TRY to fit into her society. In fact, she doesn't even TRY to reign in her impulses, delay instant gratification, or burden herself with the thoughts, feelings, or problems of others.

Like Mulan, Elsa TRIES to fit in. Ariel doesn't. Elsa suppresses her own desires for what she thinks is the safety of others (doesn't play with her sister or mingle with her subjects for years even though she wants to because she's afraid of hurting them). Ariel doesn't even bother trying to reign in her impulses for someone else. She feels like doing something? She goes right ahead and does it, and laughs or blows off the distress, warnings, or cries to turn back from others. (Flounder in the sunken ship, Sebastian over EVERYTHING.)

Mulan was my favorite for years because I know how it feels to try so hard to fit into the role society has made for you, fail miserably, and wonder why you can't do it. Also, the shame, weight, and burden of my parents' disappointment. (Whereas Ariel DOESN'T CARE that she embarrasses, lets down, worries and disobeys her father and her family. Their feelings mean NOTHING to her.)

I don't like Elsa as much, but I definitely know how it feels to feel there is something fundamentally wrong with who I am as a person that society will never accept, spent years being sheltered and schooled on how a "normal person" is supposed to act, spent years trying to hide my Asperger tendencies and pass as a "normal person" and fail miserably, felt afraid of interacting with others and felt afraid that people would "see" and reject something fundamentally wrong with me, felt exhausted by the lifelong performance, and then at some point in college just got so sick of acting and said, "Fuck it, I'm Aspergers!"

I guess the way she restores herself when alone.

Her selflessness is astounding!

I love her phenomenal Let It Go but ONLY her music video. I don't like Let It Go in other versions.

I love everything:

Apperance
Voice
Powers
Strength
Calm but screams inside
Loves Anna
Sacrifices
