Talk:Anna (Frozen)

I found this previously-included text quite interesting... But I was forced to remove it as there was no reliable source to cite. Anyway still put it here in case someone else will need.

Personality
Anna is based on the character of Gerda, the protagonist in The Snow Queen, a short story by Hans Christian Andersen. Unlike Anna's older sister Elsa, who is based on the fairy tale's title character, Anna was relatively easy to adapt for the film. When the decision was made to rewrite Elsa as a protagonist rather than a villain, the central themes of the film changed; the story became more about love vs. fear rather than good vs. evil. Director Chris Buck said, "[Anna's] secret weapon is love." Buck's co-director, Jennifer Lee, liked the idea of Anna being an ordinary person "who just has this giant heart" and "nothing but the power of love" attempting to save her sister, who has been ostracized and branded as a monster for her cryokinetic powers. Unlike Elsa, Anna is very eccentric, awkward, and far from elegant. She usually acts before she speaks, and can be rather impulsive, but holds a lot of innocence to her, nonetheless. She is a free spirit, bent on spending her life outside the palace gates after years of being enclosed within them for the safety of the kingdom due to Elsa's ice powers. Anna is also a pure romantic, dreaming of romance the moment the gates are finally opened for Elsa's coronation ceremony. There can also be a little naivety to her, as she believes in marrying someone immediately if the heart tells you so, despite knowing them for merely a day. And though occasionally naïve, Anna is far from weak, and is shown to be quite skilled in combat and physical defense, as seen when she battled the wolves, Elsa's giant snow bodyguard Marshmallow, as well as when she punched Hans off the ship after the climatic scene in the fjords.

Though she values romance greatly, it is clear Anna's most valued treasure is her relationship with her sister. Since childhood, Anna's been attached to Elsa, and always leaped at the opportunity to spend time with her. And as the years passed, and the sisters grew apart, the heartbroken Anna continued to try time and time again for some quality time with the one she loved most, but due to Elsa's powerful magic, it was deemed too dangerous, until, through Anna's loving efforts, Elsa learned to control her icy spells, allowing her to end their "imprisonment" within the palace walls and finally share the quality time they'd been longing for years upon years.

Anna has strawberry-blonde hair with a platinum-blonde streak, blue eyes, and a light dusting of freckles across her nose, which is a trait she shares with her sister, Elsa. Her hair appears red sometimes, as well as her eyes that appear with a greenish-tinge. She wears her hair in two braids. Her hair turns white when she is cursed by Elsa, but her eyebrows do not change color. After she is thawed, her hair turns back to strawberry-blonde, with the platinum-blonde streak gone.

And for Anna's appearance it's extremely hard to find a source to cite... but today after hours searching the web then I finally found one :D

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Elsa (Disney) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 08:01, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Anna (Once Upon a Time)
Not sure why this should be a separate page. This should be a section in the parent page. Coderzombie (talk) 09:37, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose: I split out the Once Upon a Time material originally because it was about a different character in a different franchise that had sufficient material to have its own article and really didn't belong in this article. This article is about the Disney Frozen character in the Disney Frozen franchise. The ABC TV network's Once Upon a Time character has the same back story but had diverged well-beyond any relationship with the Disney's Frozen character. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:23, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * How does a separate character arc justify the whole different page? Especially when the new character itself doesn't have notability of its own. Coderzombie (talk) 15:31, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Because it is not the same character, it is a new character created for the ABC TV series. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:55, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * In that case, the character is not notable enough to justify a separate page. Coderzombie (talk) 16:15, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If that page does get deleted, it needs to redirect and maybe merge to the character description for Princess Anna in List of Once Upon a Time characters, not merge to here. I would have no opposition to that redirect as a resolution to this discussion, by the way, as all the important details about the character are in that article now. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect is a good resolution in my opinion too. Coderzombie (talk) 16:59, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * We can't make any changes while this discussion is open. You can withdraw the proposed merge, if you want, and I'd support the redirect with a pointer to this discussion as justification. You may wish to keep the discussion open for a few days, though, as a two person consensus to do something is weak unless some time is given for others to contribute. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I just shared my opinion. I am in no hurry to close the discussion. Happy to wait for more inputs. Coderzombie (talk) 17:16, 13 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Support: Several Once characters have separate pages because they were main characters in the show, which gave them a significant amount of material to support their own pages. Anna was never a main (regular) character. She only appeared in about a dozen episodes. I just don’t see the justification for a split page. The two should be merged. Dhalh (talk) 03:17, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * This article has little to do with the derivative character that ABC created. A redirect to List of Once Upon a Time characters is is much more appropriate than merging that significant off-topic content to this article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:23, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
