I was rewatching and just realized after 'Into the Unknown' that since it's basically Elsa's subconscious talking to her, it makes sense that it didn't act up this intensely until Anna turned 21. Subconsciously, Elsa's probably realized that she could lawfully hand the reins over on Anna's birthday and therefore might have started hearing the 'voice' around then.
I have been dying to write about the catalyst that begins the story. What was so special about 6 years after Iduna’s death—3 years after Elsa becomes queen?
Had Iduna been calling to Elsa for all six years after she died, and Elsa was never able to hear her?
Or was Elsa able to hear her from the start, and Iduna just didn’t call to her until three years into Elsa’s reign?
Or had Gale been seeking out Elsa to bring Iduna’s call to her, and that is the moment that Gale found her (“the winds are restless, could that be why I’m hearing this call”)?
Out of all the various contributing factors, I had never considered Anna. But I think you could be right, Anon. Elsa may have consciously been determined to be an effective ruler and be strong for her sister, but when Anna came of age, a new factor appeared: the opportunity to think about something besides being queen of Arendelle, for the first time in her life.
And, as you say, I don’t think she was ever aware of it or made the conscious decision to do so. But suddenly everyone is a little bit older, she is no longer in survival mode, and for the first time in forever she has a chance to do something she wants to do, not that she has to do.
AAaaaaAAAaaaaa〜♪
Thank you so much for this!
