A/N: This idea is partly from ones I've seen other authors do and partly from an assignment I had for school, believe it or not.
Anyways...just leave a review/note/letter and Elsa (and perhaps Anna) will reply to it. I want to practice writing in first person, and I thought this would be a good way to do it! Feel free to ask anything specific from my own Frozen story-verse series, or just random things you'd like Elsa to answer.:)
I'm starting off myself with my own letter. You guys will probably all think differently of me after this...I hope not...anyways...moving on.
Hello everyone!
My name is Elsa Ingrid Nicoletta Grieg, and I am queen of Arendelle. MantaI-305Apollo'sChariot (I know that is not your real name…) thought it would be an enjoyable idea for all of you and me if I had my own place to answer questions any of you might have about me or my family or my country. I'll be happy to answer anything and everything you might like to know, or simply reply to a letter. Anna said she wasn't interested in doing the same thing at the moment, but she might answer a question once in a while if anyone really wants to ask her something.
While I'm happy to answer anything, please don't be inappropriate or creepy. Thank you!
Your friend,
Elsa
Dear Elsa,
Sometimes I wish you were a real girl so I could have someone to talk to that I could trust would understand and not tell anyone. You're the only fictional character I've ever really identified with and your movie was one of very, very few that made me cry. I didn't understand why I liked your and Anna's movie so much when I first saw it, but I do now. It's because I saw someone who felt like me and made mistakes and still got a happy ending. I have a little sister too. One who is almost exactly like Anna, just, um…not as nice and understanding. You were the one who was different because you had magical superpowers, but you seemed the most 'real' to me. Also I really, really liked that you didn't end up with a love interest by the end of the movie! Do you know Merida? She's the only other princess…queen…that doesn't have one, which I think is ridiculous. (I am very, very sorry if I sound like an annoying creepy fangirl. I promise I'm not.)
I don't have a good reason to feel like this like you do, but seeing you upset and scared and managing to fix everything-including feeling like that-makes me feel a little better.
I feel depressed. No one knows everything, I just…I don't know. I get antsy and nervous when I'm around a lot of people and I don't tell anyone about it. I'm scared I'll let everyone down including myself. I can't deal with everything anymore and I feel stupid for it and I hate crying in front of people. I really, really hate it. And I almost attempted suicide a month ago and I know I don't want to do that, but the thoughts still come sometimes and I'm a little scared I'll do something I won't be able to take back. I don't know why I'm writing all this since I know it's going to get shared somewhere. I guess because online is at least somewhat anonymous.
Elsa, can you help? I know you felt awful for ages. Can you fix me, too? Please?
If you read all this, thank you for listening to me just talk about a bunch of nothing. I'm sorry I didn't have anything actually happy to say.
A sad friend,
MantaI-305Apollo'sChariot
Dear MantaI-305Apollo'sChariot,
Thank you very much for your letter. I'm both nervous and flattered that you would trust me enough to share all those things. I don't quite understand what you mean by 'movie', and of course I am a real girl! How else would I reply to you? But that's all right.
It rather makes me sad that you would identify with me because I felt scared and upset so much, but I'm glad I could help, at least a little bit. Don't feel bad for not having a sister like Anna-I think most siblings aren't as nice as she is! You're right, I don't have a love interest. Honestly I'm not interested, and I don't think most people would want anything to do with me romantically anyway. They would probably just want the authority I have in Arendelle. I don't know Merida, though. Who's that?
You don't sound like an annoying creepy fangirl, either. Well…maybe a tiny bit, but that's okay.
I don't think I'm a good person to ask for help with feeling depressed or anxious or scared, but I do know one thing. You have a right to feel however it is you feel. You aren't stupid or bad because of it, so don't apologize or say you don't have a reason to feel that way. Also, I didn't fix everything on my own. I had help. From Anna. I hate crying in front of people too…I said no one would ever see me cry when I ran away to the North Mountain to build my ice palace. Then I ended up crying in front of everyone out on the frozen fjord. I'm not saying you should go bawl in front of everyone, but I'm saying it's all right if it happens, even if it doesn't seem like it. Go cry by yourself if need be.
You probably don't know this since I never tell anyone, but…I once attempted suicide myself. That will not solve anything, even if it feels like it does. I have a tiny scar on my wrist as a permanent reminder of what I did. Please don't do that to yourself. Try distracting yourself whenever the thoughts come back. Cry, scream, beat up a pillow, listen to music, go talk to someone about something silly if you don't want to explain how you're feeling. I'm not going to say not to think like that, because I know that doesn't help, but remember you do have people that care about you, even if it doesn't feel like it. Even if you feel lost or lonely.
That was not a bunch of nothing. Please don't apologize for not having anything happy to say at the moment.
Your friend,
Elsa.
P.S. I put my signature snowflake made of ice in with my reply. Maybe you can put it somewhere and remember you can send me a letter again whenever you need to.
A/N: So yeah. I feel stupid sharing that on here, but I have to do something similar at class tomorrow and I figure posting it anonymously online is a start. PLEASE, ANYONE, IF YOU'RE FEELING LIKE ME OR WORSE, GO TALK TO SOMEONE! Don't chicken out. I do that and it just makes more trouble.:/
On a happier note, I look forward to seeing whatever questions you all come up with!:)
Elsa: Please don't just ask serious things like Manta did. I don't mind those things, but silly or trivial things will be much easier to write.:)
