CHARACTER CHARACTER NAME: Anna SERIES: Frozen CANON POINT: After entering Elsa's ice castle, but before Elsa's reveal. LOSS: As her loss Anna will be unable to taste sweets of any kind no matter how much she stuffs in her face. Reason being is Anna's undying love for sweets, in particular chocolate. Several times through the movie she can be found stuffing her face with them. Losing sweets will be the biggest let down of the century for her.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER:
Though Anna may be Princess of Arendelle and second in line to the throne she is hardly what one would consider a "typical princess". Anna is carefree, energetic, quirky, fun-loving and even a little bit on the klutzy side. She slides down banisters, jumps on couches, tromps through mud and stuffs her face with chocolate without a care in the world. Though she may not be exactly the perfect definition of Princess, she cares deeply for the people around her and is almost loyal to a fault.
As a child Anna was almost inseparable to her elder sister Elsa. That all changed one night when Elsa’s magic accidentally struck her, causing her parents to choose to not only wipe memories of her sister’s powers, but to reduce the staff and separate the girls from one another until Elsa could control it. While it was to only be temporary at first, Anna thought her sister chose to shut her out and never really understand why. This left Anna was a sense of loneliness that was in turn made worse upon her parents death three years prior to the start of the story.
Growing up almost her life with just a staff did not settle well for an energetic, fun-loving girl like Anna. More than anything she wishes to fill that long-standing empty hole of loneliness with the sound of laughter and people within the halls of her castle. It is almost as if Anna feels as if she needs to be surrounded by people in order to truly feel alive. As a direct effect of having so little social interaction as a child, she’s not exactly a pro at conversation. When speaking, Anna is incredibly prone to rambling, often going off on tangents and even saying things that don’t entirely make sense, often as if she has a lack of filter from brain to mouth. Most of these seem to come out most when she’s nervous or unsure of herself. She’s not the most environmentally aware either, prone to klutziness or accidentally hitting others when particularly excited.
Anna is the kind of person that leaps before thinking, a trait she had even as a child. This trait is as much as a strength as it is a weakness. While she may have been too young to really have a sense of responsibility, it was her own recklessness that caused the king and queen to reduce the staff and separate her sister from her. While riding down a banister or swinging three stories up may not exactly be safe it’s the same sense of fearlessness that saves the lives of herself and others around her as adult. This is particularly viewed in the presence of Kristoff numerous times. In one instance she lights their supplies on fire in turn to throw it as a pack of wild wolves (almost hitting him in the face in the process) where in another cuts the rope to save their lives when dealing with a particularly fierce snow monster only to safely land in the snow two-hundred feet below. It can be even said that Anna is particularly lucky, as most of those encounters could have gone very badly.
When things get tough, Anna is not one to sit around and wait for someone else to save the day. This is particularly seen when she takes full responsibility for her sister, proclaiming that she is the only one that should go after her. Though she recklessly chose to go without any supplies, a single horse and no guard it’s clear she takes initiative when it comes to things of importance and isn't afraid to get into a tussle. She’ll do whatever it takes for those around her, whether it’s fruitless or not. When it comes down to it, Anna’s rather easy to wind up, as seen when Krisoff calls her “feisty pants”. If she thinks it’s necessarily, she’ll rush into a fight whether she’ll win or not.
The best example of both Anna’s recklessness and extreme need for companionship was her willingness to marry a man she hardly knew for a day. Before even running in to Prince Hans she had it in her mind that Elsa’s coronation was the only day she would ever find love. It almost made Hans’ job easy to find a woman who was willing to marry him “just like that”. So keen to fall in love she even chose to spend the remainder of the coronation with Hans rather than Elsa, who she had scarcely seen in well over ten years. She’s quick to defend the idea of true love with a man she barely knew to anyone that dared question her. Her confusion with companionship and love is most clear when she defends her choice with Elsa, claiming “I can’t live like this anymore”. Her proclamation is not about her wish to marry Hans, but about living a life in a lonely, empty castle with a sister that won’t even talk to her.
This quickness to trust and accept is not exclusive to Hans, but viewed among other interactions as well. She is quick to trust Kristoff as well, though largely out of necessity for a guide up the north mountain, but once she joins him she never questions him for a moment. Not only is she quick to accept Kristoff's preference and interesting choice of friend (Sven) and family after the initial shock wore off, but she displays this same nature with Olaf as well. It's not every day you encounter a talking snowman, but once the initial shock wears off he's really part of the gang.
What made Hans’ job easiest of all was Anna’s own view of herself. As the second in line for the throne, Anna considered herself “completely ordinary”. When speaking about herself, she says it’s “just me” as if she’s nothing worth really getting excited over. To Anna, it’s her sister that is the special one. In fact, she believes in her sister more than anything and though she could have held a grudge against her, she didn't. Not only does she take responsibility for Elsa for covering all of Arendelle in snow, she believes more than anything that together they can break the spell. Even when Elsa doesn't believe in herself, Anna never stops and in the end it’s their sisterly bond that breaks it. Willing to do anything for her sister even if it meant putting her own life in danger, Anna chose to sacrifice herself to save her sister of a measly “true loves kiss”.
Anna's idealism, optimism and determination is unwavering not only when it comes to her sister, but all situations. Even when it seems as if all hope is lost she doesn't give up. This is seen time and time again through the course of the movie. Not only does she keep going after she loses her horse, but even after Elsa sister strikes her heart. Despite the chill that slowly takes over her body, she never gives up her hope even for a second. Words like "I can't" are never for a moment uttered from her mouth, even when she is on the verge of freezing she keeps going strong.
ABILITIES: Anna is "completely ordinary" as far as magic or special abilities go.
THIRD-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE:
The first thing that hit Anna was the warm breeze that carried the smell that was purely identifiable with spring. It only took a few seconds for her process that she was clearly no longer within Elsa's ice castle. "Elsa?" she called out, glancing around her surroundings. She was clearly within a castle entrance, but it was neither Arendelle's nor had the structure remotely similar to the one Elsa had created. "Elsa?" she called out. Voices could be heard down the hall, but none identifiable as her sister.
"Kristoff?" she called the name of her traveling companion next as she wandered through the entrance and into the room where the voices were coming from. Though she was probably more following her nose than anything, considering she was headed towards the kitchen (when was the last time she ate anyway?). There were people that stopped and looked at her when she entered. Had she seen food, she likely would have stopped and stayed a while, but she was on a mission. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt, I'll just..." she motioned back towards the entrance and scurried back out.
"Where could they be?" she asked herself. Maybe this really was her sisters castle and they were still waiting outside? Doubtful. Anna had spent enough times within her own castle to know how to identify that the structure was more sprawled out than the one her sister had created, but it was at least worth a check. Of course, she always believed in the possibility of magic but now had solid proof that it existed-- Maybe, just maybe she had been whisked away, and if she had it was very possible that her friends had to. It was decided then, she'd check outside first before anything else.
Several feet from the entrance edoor her foot landed in something identifiable as wet. "Huh?" she looked down at what her booted foot had splashed into, only to find it had found a rather decently sized puddle of water. At first, she didn't think much of it and was ready to continue on, but something else caught her eye. A twig? Not very large and probably from outdoors, but-- "Oh no" she gasped, hands flying to her mouth. "Olaf!" Jumping back, she bent down to kneel before the puddle. "I'm so sorry. I should have known better-- Of coursec it's not winter here! Oh no, what have I done." A pang of guilt. She should have let Kristof warn him that he would melt in the warmer weather.
"Poor guy..." she gently patted the water. "I'm so sorry, but don't worry! I'm going to make sure you get to enjoy it, even if it means guarding you myself!" To prove a point, she straightened up and put her hands on her hips. "That's right, anyone who even thinks about ruining your fun is going to have to get through me" She stood even taller, lifting her chin and glaring around with what she had at least assumed was a rather menacing expression aimed at no one in particular. Finding her sister and Krisoff could wait until she was done preserving what was left of an innocent snowman that didn't know any better.
FIRST-PERSON JOURNAL SAMPLE: dictated;
So I know I should probably say something about this totally amazing castle. I mean, it's not every day you just happen to fall into a magic castle with magic journals and who knows what else. [ She just takes a moment to let that settle in. ]. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't be more excited. But, there's a tiny tiny little problem I've run into. It's kind of lucky I found this thing on me, who knows what would happen if I didn't!
Let's start by saying the place I came from wasn't exactly the warmest. Long story short, my sister kind of froze the whole thing over and I had finally made it to her ice castle before I ended up here-- But that's not what I'm here for! I mean, I'd love to see my sister and all if possible, but worrying about that can wait until later.
Long story short, I kind of have this friend. My friend is... Well, I'm just going to say it. My friend is a snowman. Crazy, I know, I know. Talking snowmen-- Yikes! I was pretty frightened at first, but that's a story for another day. My friend-- The snowman-- Olaf-- Well, I'm just going to say it-- [ She takes a deep breath and says the next part really fast. ] Olaf is now kind of a puddle of water at the castle's entrance.
There, I said. I know we should probably mop him up, but he always wanted to know what summer was like. I feel like he deserves at least that much, even if he does have to spend it as a puddle. So please, please, please don't step in him or mop him up. I'll take care of him myself after he's had at least a few days to enjoy the weather.
INTENT: My primary purpose is to take her from a place in canon where she needs to grow naturally. I'm also interested in playing her interactions to finally being in a place surrounded by other people.
