Queen Elsa/Relationships

This focuses on the relationships with the character Elsa.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Having known about (and possibly fearing) Vikings, Elsa would be very surprised when she meets Hiccup. Socially awkward, smart, and very sweet, the two would get along fairly well. Because he is the son of the Chief, if Hiccup forges a friendship with Elsa, it would give Berk a new trading partner and ally.

Beyond friendship, the two have a pairing, called Hiccelsa, though its not widely known. Elsa is most often paired with Hiccup's older self, often meeting either through one of Hiccup's travels with Toothless. In Frozen Tangled Guardians, Hiccup plays the part of Elsa and Anna's surrogate uncle, paranoid for their safety and hoping to educate their young minds about the world around them.

Jack Frost
Both Elsa and Jack were made with the power to control ice and create blizzards. A portion of the fans write her and her sister, Princess Anna, as the daughters of Jackunzel (Jack Frost x Rapunzel). Apart from this, they form Jelsa. Fans would suppose they have much in common, like the sacrifice of their lives for their sister ( Jack has died for his little sister while that Elsa was isolated almost all her life ) and their common powers to control snow and ice. Jack did not interact with someone for years just like Elsa, locked alone for years in her room. Each one can understand the other. There would be a very big rivalry between Jelsa and Jackunzel. Of course, fans of Jelsa are opposed to Elsa and Anna are Jackunzel's children. Writers often theorize that Jack may have saved her with his powers because she was a stillborn as a baby and he felt responsible and watched over her, later falling in love with her. Outside of the romantic relationship, they are also portrayed as having a sibling love or being close friends since they both share the hardship of being isolated for a long time. They balance each other out, Elsa showing him the importance of being serious, and Jack showing her the importance of having fun and "letting it go". This has become quite a popular ship.

Merida DunBroch
The two might not get at first, Merida being hot-headed and wild and Elsa being calm and collected. Merida's way of weapons would scare Elsa, as a reminder of Hans, also the fact that Elsa only uses her powers to spread joy. However, the only things that they'll ever agree on and have in common is the love for their families (Merida for her mom, dad, and triplet brothers and Elsa for for her sister, Anna) learning how to rule a kingdom, protecting their friends. In Frozen Tangled Guardians, Merida may play a surrogant aunt to Elsa and Anna, teaching them her tomboyish ways, like shooting arrows and riding horses, ready to drop everything and come to their aid.

Rapunzel Corona
Some fans associate Rapunzel as the mother of Elsa, implying the Jackunzel relationship. Both are known to be shut out of the world because of their abilites, Rapunzel being trapped in the tower so Mother Gothel can use her hair, and Elsa in her room for her powers of ice and snow.

Disney has suggested that Rapunzel is her cousin, as Rapunzel's mother is the sister of Elsa's mother. Rapunzel actually makes an cameo appearance in Frozen. This is probably because the creators of Tangled (2010) were also in charge of creating Frozen along with the creators of Wreck-It-Ralph.

Pitch Black
Because Elsa has felt much fear and isolation from her powers her entire life, it is very likely that she would be able to see him. The relationship between them is a complicated one. Some scenarios place Pitch wishing to use the Snow Queen's power to instill fear and terror onto the populace or at least (in Frozen Tangled Guardians) to spite Jack. Because they both have great loneliness brought on by great power that they did not ask for, some like to portray them as kindred spirits who have found one another.

Mother Gothel
Though she does not have any powers that would properly suit Gothel's interests, Elsa would still be a subject that would register on Gothel's radar. In Frozen Tangled Guardians, Gothel would pose some interest in the woman she would virtually call her "granddaughter", using this position as a means to gaining the lonely girl's trust. Despite this, Gothel would otherwise hold little honest attachments towards her much like she did with Rapunzel.

Red Death
Despite the Red Death's size and force, Elsa could be one of the few characters in the fandom capable of holding their own against the Red Death without any help. Since her powers do not seem to posses any limits aside from their uncontrollable behaviour, Elsa could direct the entirety of winter itself onto the dragon and freeze it solid in its tracks. However, because the dragon's brute strength and its ability to breath a gust of flames capable of destroying an armada of ships, it could possibly combat Elsa's powers enough to pose a threat.

Mor'du
Though Mor'du is considered dangerous, his hide tough enough to outlast any weapon the royal guard can muster against him, he is nothing compared to Elsa. She would be able to freeze the demon bear in an instant, if not killing him then to at least imprison him long enough to properly dispose of him.

Princess Anna of Arendelle
Anna is Elsa's sister and best friend. When they were younger, Anna was fascinated by her sisters abilities and loved having her use them until Elsa accidentally struck her with her magic. After Anna's memories are erased, Elsa becomes distant to protect her. Elsa loves Anna above all others, and her sisters protection is always her prime concern, and hurting her with her ice magic is her greatest fear. After she realizes that love is the key to controlling her powers, she mends her relationship with her sister and they become close as they ever were. In some stories, this love developes into something of a dependence, where Anna comes to be a sort of safety valve for Elsa's magic. Some go as far as to pair them together, eitherromanticallyor platonically.

Prince Hans of the Southern Isles
Prince Hans, Anna's previous fiancé, tried to kill Elsa numerous times to gain the throne of Arendelle. As such, it is likely that there would be a remaining sense of animosity between the two. However some fans do ship them in a pairing dubbed Helsa. In battle and fully aware of the situation (not scared/consumed with emotion) it is likely that Elsa's powers would give her a large advantage over Hans.
