Magic is a rare but powerful thing. Usually usable by humans only after years of study, there are the extraordinarily rare few who are born with it.
Unfortunately, with magic more recently being seen as dangerous, threatening and blasphemous, that makes those who are born with these abilities outcasts. Many times arrested and imprisoned for their gifts, regardless of how they were used. More recently, people have been executed for any affiliation with magic. Whether they were born with it, or simply learned it.
Elsa was born with magic. The only one in her family to possess any affinity for the art at all. Before she could walk she could summon items she wanted to her. Before she could talk, she could understand animals, and seemingly communicate through thought alone. By the time she was old enough to understand that she shouldn't use her magic, for her and her family's safety, she had already mastered her abilities to the point that she could keep them hidden. Though she didn't do so happily. She loved her abilities.
She only showed them to her younger sister, who, though was not born with magic as Elsa was, still loved it.
It was Elsa indulging her little sister in playing with her magic, that eventually got them caught. Their parents were arrested while helping them escape. Her sister was accused of having magic as well. They had to run as far as they could.
Over the years, they had many close calls. Many times it was only Elsa lashing out at their attackers with her magic that saved them. Her fear of people started to turn to anger. She started to hate the people that cost them their happy childhood, their parents and their safety. Only Anna, ever incorruptible, kept her from becoming the threat that the kingdom thought her to be.
They planned to try to find the last remnants of the magic practitioners who'd gone into hiding. Those who cut themselves off from the kingdom to continue to practice their art in secret, safety and peace.
But they never made it that far.
During an attack where they were once again discovered, Anna was captured, and Elsa wasn't able to catch up to her. She was taken to the capitol to be imprisoned. They kept her alive only as leverage over her sister, who they knew at this point, was too powerful to push too far. They needed a way to control her, and her younger sister was it.
But without Anna, there was no one to keep her fear and anger in check. She gathered allies. Followers. Other magic users, afraid and angry at the kingdom.
They'd thrown the gauntlet by taking her family from her.
If they wanted a war, she'd give them one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elsa: Born with magic. Able to learn almost any type of magic there is. Her power grows in strength as she gets older, and as she learns.
Hiccup: Dragonlord. Dragonlords are powerful humans born with the ability to share life force with a dragon, bonding with them. The first dragonlord was created when a dragon took pity upon a dying child and shared their soul with them to heal them. From then on, they were bonded together. Neither would die of injury or illness or age while the other lived on strong, but if one was killed outright, so would the other. They shared each other's strengths, but made up for each other's weaknesses. When the Dragonlord grew up and had children, they inherited the ability to bond with dragons the same way, and so a new magical race was born. Very few are now left, as one of the first things the kingdom did when outlawing magic, was hunting down magical creatures. Dragons are now all but extinct, and dragonlords with them.
