The protagonist, Elsa, is the older of the two daughters of the king and queen of Arendelle, who die when the girls are still young. Elsa, who succeeds the throne, has a terrible secret she cannot share even with her beloved younger sister, Anna. Elsa possesses the magical power to freeze anything and anyone at will.
In a recent issue of the weekly Sunday Mainichi magazine, columnist and editor Akio Nakamori discussed the sisters.
“Elsa and Anna coexist in every woman. Who is Elsa?” he wrote. “She represents talented women who have no reason not to make full use of their natural gifts. But instead of living up to their full potential, they resign themselves to ‘freezing’ their natural gifts or magical power in Elsa’s case and living a life of mediocrity like Anna, who is expected only to wait passively for her prince.”
