FULL APPEARANCE:
Elsa is a tall and slender young woman with bright blue eyes and hair so pale blonde that its nearly white. Her face is round, her eyes are deep set, large and very expressive, even if her face reflects nothing in expression. Her body shape is slender and and nothing that stands out. She prefers to wear dresses, often in darker colors and when not able to do so, she will wear shirts and pants, as she understands that practicality is very much a thing. She tends to wear her hair up in some sort of updo or down in a single braid that goes midway down her chest.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Elsa is a woman that despite her background is not good with people. Crowds make her nervous, being in rooms with a lot of people she does not know makes her nervous.. she is just a nervous wreck in general. She gets easily tongue tied when trying to socialize and often blathers out nonsense to fill the awkward silence. She tends to isolate herself and bury her nose in her studies rather than deal with people when she can get away with it.
She is very guarded with people and slow to trust and doesn't even contemplate romance. The very idea of romance and marriage disgusts her, even when she was still a lady in Aerndelle. Beyond the biological and political imperative that she was raised and groomed for, she has never had any interest in it. She believes emotions to be fleeting things and why bother with them or love when nothing lasts forever?
Despite being difficult to get to know, if someone manages to do so or see beneath the mask she wears, Elsa is actually a very kind and loving person, to those she cares about, there is nothing she would not do to bring them up from a dark place or stand beside them no matter what.

HISTORY:
TW: Miscarriage, Death
Elsa was the firstborne daughter to a pair of minor holders and their second child. She was born during a particularly nasty snow storm and named after an ancestor with whom she shared a birthday. She was a very quiet and almost withdrawn child, her speaking skills not really coming along well till around 5 years old. It seemed to be a trend with her social development that she had not simply out grown and her shyness was looked at as her being difficult and thus her parents thought she would outgrow it if they were persistent and showed her there was no reason for her to feel this way. The simple truth was Elsa was just plain terrified of most things, even taking to having to have light in her room at night or she would not sleep.
Her parents tried to get her to interact with the other children, as did her older brother but she would often cry and want to go back to her room and avoid the situation. The repeated forced attempts to get her to socialize ended up working in reverse, as the terribly shy child became a full blown anxiety ridden mess.
But as her parents kept trying to expand their family her mother suffering a series of miscarriages before she passed during her fourth childbirth, the babe a stillborn son. Agnaar was devastated by the loss of his beloved wife and shut himself in his room, often unresponsive and inconsolable. Due to her father's inability to serve as lord, her elder brother took over the hold and all seemed well until the day of Elsa's 16th birthday.
She had been keeping to herself at the small gathering, as she always did until she was approached by a young man around her own age. He seemed very keen on impressing her and when she brushed him off and started to walk away, he grabbed her arm, though it was in a gentle way and not at all aggressive. But Elsa took it as such and in a fit of panic and rage, she turned and punched him as hard as she could, calling him some rather foul names. The entire exchange caused a scene she was not comfortable being the center of and fled the room in a panic. After she thought it over, she realized that she had shamed her family and was no longer worthy of being a lady. So.. she did what she did best when the nerves became too much.. she fled.
Fleeing Aerndelle with only a small bag of her personal possessions, she joined a small group of traders that she had met as she was fleeing her homeland. The leader of the caravan found it odd that a young lady would be travelling alone and offered to take her as far as their destination if she agreed to help look after the small children with them. She agreed and stuck with the small group as they made their way to High Reaches. Once they arrived, she parted ways, thanking them for helping her arrive safely.
As she had no real marketable skills, she took up a position in the kitchens as a drudge. After about half a year of this, she decided she did not want this sort of life for herself. Knowing she was old enough and craving a sense of purpose, she made the bold choice to just.. present herself to the candidate master and was actually surprised how easily she was just.. accepted. She had been anxiously in a private fit and anticipating some sort of test.
However, she decided to apply herself to dragon and wher studies both, deciding to see if fate might be kind to her with her future bonded and knowing that wher candidates never aged out. After her first two failed standings, she decided to use some marks she had earned and bought a flit egg on a whim which hatched into a little spirited thing she named Solstice and he soothed the secret loneliness she felt in her heart for the time being. She has stood at several hatchings and it has not been her time to shine but like anything that causes her sadness.. she just.. lets it go. Her time will come.
It would seem that her fate was to be a dragon rider, as at the maiden clutch of High Reaches' gold, that a large brown called Irohith had decided Elsa was worthy of him. While she is still very much in shock and wondering why her, she is elated to have Irohith, she is a bit sad that Noctis and Fenix are not there to share in this with her.
