selectivity.………//………
i am a selective roleplayer; i may choose not to follow or interact with some portrayals, whether it’s to keep my feed relevant or because of low compatibility. I may show a preference for frozen-verse portrayals, however, i often write in the broader disney-verse, particularly on platforms where multi-verse roleplay is encouraged. i may choose not to write with oc’s that are related to my muse (child, sibling, cousin, etc.). I will not be assigning mains/exclusives, as i often roleplay with duplicates of the same character. I will not select on the basis of race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.; all selectivity is non-personal!
verses.………..……………
in my carrd, i have listed a few verses! Most of these verses are canon-compliant — such as canonical time gaps to be filled in roleplay — while others involve some elements of canon-divergence that may originate from scrapped/deleted drafts of the films. I am open to other verses, however, i may decline if they stray too far from the canonical universe, or if they prompt extreme changes to it (e.g. modern, genderbend, role-swap, etc.).
writing.……………………
i am a long-term roleplayer; i often start with an idea in mind, but no defined end point. My writing style is literate, and i try to match my partner’s length — but please don’t feel pressured to do the same! i may not match below a semi-literate level (one-liners, asterisks, etc.), with the exception of banter. i may use fonts (Unicode characters) on my profile, as well as in responses, such as italicizing a word/phrase (I will accommodate for accessibility!) in regards to plotting, it’s important that my partner has some ideas/plots to contribute to the discussion and not be reliant on my whole input! Likewise, i will have some ideas of my own to offer so that we may brainstorm and make a plot together.

Chronicle.
On the summer solstice of 1826, the youngest child of the royal family of Arendelle, Anna mette Árnadalr, was born. She became the second-born daughter to King Agnarr and Queen Iduna, and the younger sister to the magic-possessing elder and heir to the throne, Elsa Árnadalr. Her birth was commemorated during Midtsommer, and as her arrival was so timely with the midyear solstice, the kingdom’s folk nicknamed her “Kind ór Sólrinn” (Old Norse for “Child of the Sun.”)
When she was a child, Anna was very close with her sister Elsa, and the two of them would integrate the elder’s magic into their play — much to the disregard of their parents’ wishes. Their closeness changed, however, when Anna suffered a head trauma from Elsa’s magic, which prompted their parents to separate them from both one another and the outside world. Having had her memories wiped, Anna didn’t know why she and her sister were estranged, and the lack of explanation drew her to her own conclusions, marred with self-blame. She became the equivalent of a glass child; her parents were preoccupied with managing Elsa’s powers, inadvertently forgetting their youngest. The sisters’ isolation was worsened when, some years after the accident, their parents were lost at sea.
In spite of the losses in her life, Anna was vehemently optimistic. So when her sister fled her coronation after a revelation of her powers, Anna sought her with the hopes of rekindling their broken sisterhood. In the process, Anna was once again injured by Elsa’s magic — this time with a strike to her heart. She began to freeze to solid ice, and in an act of heroism to save her sister, she sacrificed herself. In doing so, she inadvertently showed Elsa the key to controlling her powers (love), and as the ice in her heart thawed and in turn resurrected her, the rift between the two of them was at long last healed.In the following years, Anna and Elsa worked hard making up for the lost time. They harked back in search of a family Yuletide tradition — which they later discovered was their friend, Olaf, the enchanted snowman. And the following year on Anna’s birthday, Elsa planned a full day of festivities, only to fall amusingly ill with a fever.In addition to this, they embarked on a trip when their kingdom was plagued by the Nattmara: an embodiment of nightmares that Anna mistakenly summoned. They defeated the Nattmara, just a few months preceding their next adventure.
Three years following Elsa’s coronation and their initial reconnecting, Anna accompanied Elsa on her journey to the Enchanted Forest in search of a mysterious voice that was calling to her sister. With their kingdom evacuated by the four elemental spirits, an obligation to find that voice was heightened. Together, they discovered the acts of genocide and colonialism committed by their grandfather, the late King Runeard.Apart, yet in equal cause, they corrected what was wronged and saved both the Enchanted Forest and Arendelle. Along their journey, Anna and Elsa tested the waters of self-discovery, finding their places as the two halves of the fifth spirit. Elsa decided to remain in the forest as the magical half, protecting and looking after the elemental spirits, while Anna returned to Arendelle as the human half and, with her sister’s abdication, was crowned the new queen of Arendelle. In honor of the sacrifices she’d taken, Anna was granted the epithet modig, meaning “brave; courageous.’
psychology.
fiercely optimistic, a social butterfly, always seeking interaction — anna is the epitome of an extrovert. She thrives off of her relationships with others. She seeks to lend a helping hand to those in need, and she strategizes with direct, active involvement rather than behind-the-scenes work.
Although she’s Arendelle’s most beloved neighbor, anna can be shown to have an introverted side to herself. Large groups and crowds can overwhelm her. She derives the most fulfillment within smaller, more intimate groups — especially of loved ones. But don’t be fooled; she hates prolonged solitude. It’s perhaps one of her sorest flaws: her fear of being alone, of being abandoned.the bubbly front she tends to wear often pressures her the most. She’s not perpetually outgoing, but it’s a rare sight to catch her in a poor mood. she is typically the one to be another’s rock, to hold the umbrella over them in spite of her own maelstrom. she fears letting them down, so she can’t bring herself to let them see her outside of her blithely narrative.Interestingly, for being the most social of her family, anna is as unskilled in the art of socializing as her sister — or perhaps worse. Social cues are her worst enemy. She’s the last to understand the point of a joke. She can’t always decipher demeanors or facial expressions. her difficulties often leads to misunderstandings and miscommunications — and as a queen meant to manage formal affairs, this can lead to… sticky situations.

Anna’s epithet, “modig”.
Following everyone’s safe return from the enchanted forest, anna was granted an epithet — a byname — in honor of the sacrifices she’d taken for both her kingdom’s people and the nomadic northuldra. This epithet was modig! The word in Norwegian, danish, and Swedish means “brave; courageous”, and derives from the old Norse word móðigr, meaning “mighty”. in full, this would translate to “anna the brave” or “anna the mighty”.the name is mostly used as a renowned colloquial term amongst the townspeople and neighboring royals. Anna herself is still unfamiliar with the term and finds it foreign on both her tongue and others’, and she is especially thrown for a loop when her family uses the name in a manner of play. However, this nickname, as she has come to find, serves a similar purpose to her sister’s nickname, the snow queen, which has also been used as a descriptive term amongst their people since the elder’s early reign. So, often, the sisters use one anothers’ nicknames to take a lighthearted jab at one another.Anna, however, still finds herself flustered by the epithet, so she takes a diffident stance and frequently requests that she be addressed by another title, depending on whom she is exchanging with.The inspiration for anna having an epithet comes from my research of other historical people with bynames! Some examples are harald sigurdsson (harald hardrada) and olaf iii haraldsson (olaf kyrre): two historical Norwegian kings and the founders of Oslo and Bergen, norway, respectively. They both brandished epithets of their own; hardrada meaning “stern counsel” or “hard ruler”, and kyrre meaning “peaceful”.
Infertility.
Anna grew up a family-oriented enthusiast. As a child, her Playtime always consisted of her dolls marrying and having children. She dreamt of motherhood — and when she began courting with kristoff, that dream seemed within reach. However, after a visit with the castle doctor, it was deduced that she, possibly akin to other women in her family, would likely never have children.This would be a mere upset for a commoner — but as a queen, Anna’s job is to preserve the royal bloodline. Since she cannot pass it on through her own children, the bloodline effectively ceases with her. With this comes guilt, and the potential disrepute of others — which is why she’s worked vehemently to keep her infertility a secret. The only ones to know about it are elsa and kristoff, as well as some select castle staff.
seasonal affective disorder.
One would expect the girl with the snow queen for a sister to love winter — but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. With the leafless trees and the lesser daylight, anna is put into a slump whenever winter comes around.Her motivation derives especially from her external environment, so when everything is dark and cold, she struggles to care for herself. Her bedroom gets messier, her appetite decreases, and her overall bubbly nature is snuffed out.The winters are especially long in arendelle, as the kingdom resides close to the arctic circle. Right around elsa’s birthday (the winter solstice), the kingdom celebrates the polar nights — where the sun does not rise above the horizon for a week. The festivities help to lighten the mood, but anna especially struggles throughout the prolonged twilight.It’s perhaps why the arrival of spring excites her so much; the budding leaves and sunnier days bring along Anna’s willpower to get back up. Her sister dreads the summertime for its heat — but anna thrives in the year’s brighter seasons.
Attention deficit hyperactivity.
Although not a diagnosable disorder in the nineteenth century, anna exhibits symptoms of what is referred modernly as adhd (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).anna has struggled with distractibility and over-activity since she was small. When compared to her peers (and especially her more reserved elder sister), she was always notably different. At the time, it was dismissed as mere inattention—perhaps the natural personality of an extroverted child. however, her symptoms never lessened as she aged.As a teenager, anna was viewed less as an excitable child and more as an imprudent adolescent. She never thought before she spoke, and she asked too many questions. She could never excel through her coursework as well as her sister at the same age. Her damaged self-esteem bore the brunt of every look of disappointment; every sigh of annoyance; every mumbled conversation behind closed doors of her lackluster academics.Presently, As the queen of arendelle, Anna’s tendencies to blether and act on impulse continue to bring about disrepute to both herself and her people. She has always envied her sister, whose unwavering poise and regality has earned her the esteemed respect of numerous kingdoms. Anna’s confidence is still damaged, and she is more reluctant to engage in her youthful side, lest she keel under the scrutiny. However, she is more open with her family.
