Beware the frozen heart
High up in the mountains of Yamagata Prefecture, there are stories of a woman who is strange, but singularly beautiful. Her hair, they say, is of such a pale color that it looks white. Her eyes are the blue of frozen water. Even in the coldest days of winter, it's said that she always wears only a summer yukata, as white as a funeral shroud.
No one is quite certain of who or what she is. Rumors abound that she is a ghost of a woman murdered in the snow or perhaps she is a yokai who takes the shape of a human woman. More practical minded people suggest a runaway woman from the west, while others ask how a young woman could endure such cold. No, others say, she is a princess from the moon, trapped on earth, like the stories of Kaguya-Hime.
No one knows for sure but whatever the legends, if someone happens to climb the mountain today, they will see a pale woman who seems unaffected by the cold.
[[Inspired by the tale of the Yuki-Onna. Either Elsa is, in fact, a runaway princess with ice powers OR if you prefer, make this a true AU and go with whatever iteration of the legend most interests you.]]

"I think you should embrace it a little more. Have a healthy caution," Legolas said, giving her a knowing smile. "Because every weapon can be deadly, yes, but I think you should enjoy it and embrace it a little more than you do. Of course, my opinion is but my own. You will have to choose your own path."

"You know me now," Legolas reminded her gently. "And it is never too late to open a door and find a new adventure somewhere. We have found this place, after all, and the Nexus itself. There might be a place where your powers are easily controlled and no longer a burden. I have faith we can find it."

"And I am better for it," he assured her, lifting her hand up to his lips to kiss lightly. Legolas had little experience with the race of Man, shortlived as it was, but what experience he did have seemed to be positive. He felt like a better elf for having met someone as extraordinary as Elsa.

"I'll try," she promises.

"Let me know if there is anything I can do to lend you aid," Legolas said. "There is nothing I want more than to see you happy and content with your powers. I do not wish to see you afraid, Elsa, or hurting."

"I'm...really glad I met you."

It had been a long time since anyone had sparked this particular feeling in Legolas. Not since Tauriel, all those years ago, and even then this was different still. "It is, as always, my absolute pleasure, Elsa. Anything you desire, I shall endeavor to make it yours."
