elsa came to sparkwood soon after her coronation, wanting to get away from it all and leaving her advisers to take care of the country in her stead with some of her input.

considering she had stayed isolated and tucked away since the death of her parents when she was younger, she figured the people wouldn’t really care if she went for a trip for a small period of time.

being queen still terrifies her and she uses sparkwood as an escape, sort of tucking all the problems and fears under the rug.

she still blames herself for the accident that happened with her sister when they were children and is still ashamed to even be near the younger.

she doesn’t really announce that she’s a queen of a foreign country every time she comes into a room, but she doesn’t hide it either. her country is a small one, so the odds that anyone here in sparkwood actually cares for it are slim.

the government and the university are aware of her identity, but she insisted that she have no body guards.

she wants to know what it’s like to live like an everyday citizen in america, so she took on a job to be a teacher’s assistant for economics at the university. she sneaks into political science classes to pick up on a few things for her own ruling.

she’s a closet gay and needs help.

don’t be afraid to be like ‘wow, are you some sort of princess or something’ because the answer will be an awkward ‘yes’. she’s in that weird in between stages of ‘yeah, i shouldn’t be hiding i should be free’ and the ‘well fuck i just wanna be left alone’.
