Elsa Ardelle // 30 // Councilwoman // Magical
Character description (death TW)
Elsa is very reserved, but can be the sweetest once she opens up to someone. Growing up, she was kind of curious and liked to experiment with her magic, but that obviously changed once she hit Anna with her magic by mistake. After that incident, her parents treated her differently, and constantly reminded her that her magic was dangerous. The fear she saw in her parents eyes when she hurt Anna, along with seeing how her magic effected her sister, was enough to make Elsa fear her own magic as well. It was hard for her to be distant from Anna after that, knowing she was hurting her sister by shutting her out, but she slowly adjusted over time, knowing it was better to hurt her this way than with her magic again.
She thought her life was doing okay until their parents car crash. It was like she had to adjust all over again, and the two people who knew her better than anyone else, the only ones aware of her magic, were gone. After she was able to mourn, she had to decide what the next steps were for her and her sister. Anna was the only family she had left, and while she wanted to be close to her again, she was still scared. Diving into politics at Walt grove was her first step, as well as secretly trying to master her magic. She was still secretive about her ice powers, of course, but was slowly starting to practice using her magic while alone in her room. Once she has a better grasp on how her magic works, she thinks she will be ready to tell Anna the truth.

Elsa is an avid reader. She didn’t have much to do besides read while growing up, so reading has become a part of her. She likes to try to find out more about magic and the history of Walt grove, but she also does love to read fiction.
No one has been in Elsa’s room besides her parents , and there’s a reason for that. Her room is an icy wonderland, covered in frost, snow and ice from the floor to the ceiling. She tries to melt it when she practices her magic, but only manages to add more to the mess. She’s very insecure about it because it makes it very clear that she isn’t good at controlling her magic.
Elsa had gone to college online; her and her parents both agreed it was best to still keep herself distanced from the world, despite being an adult by that point. She majored in political science and minored in business.
Elsa has a cold aura to her because of her magic. She is always bundled up, always wearing her gloves, and is almost always holding something warm in her hands (coffee, hot cocoa, etc.)
Elsa hates summer. The warm weather makes her feel drained often and it’s hard to wear her gloves in the heat. Summer is when she finds herself staying in her room the most, finding more comfort in the cold confines of her bedroom.
She is a Sagittarius/Capricorn cusp sun, Aquarius moon & Scorpio rising!
