Which of my old comments should I recycle from other questions,articles or debates?(Please don't take it offensively, I was pointing fun at how many times I had to defend her character from the same thing) I pick you!:

" I think she goes through great development in the movie. People also complain about how selfish she's. But I really don't see it. She didn't know she froze the kingdom is ice. She headed towards the mountains on the north side. And judging by those ships and how far away everyone was I would think she traveled quiet far away to not notice. She felt ejected by the world. Her family said that she was just supposed to hide her powers and not have anything else like emotions, freedom, etc. To be honest I don't blame her for running off. If I was in the same saturation I'll probably do the same thing. Even through I'll say her innocence is kinda of force that doesn't make her selfish in any means. She did care for Anna it wasn't only showed in the first few minutes of the movie it was also shown in FTIF(reprise). She seemed very scared that she would hurt Anna and when she did she freaked out and wanted everyone to stay away from her as soon as possible. Not wanting to hurt her sister. And it also showed that she cared for her kingdom too. She didn't know that she froze it. And was very upset in herself by doing so. Anna and Elsa both care about each other extremely. Especially since Elsa went through the trouble of locking her self up to keep Anna and the kingdom safe. She didn't want to froze the kingdom and when she's out she still tells Anna that she's dangerous.To be honest I really do think she's just as selfless as Anna."

Considering she's the only one who actually regretted her actions and goes out of her way to fix what she broke....

Even though she went about it the wrong way, at the end of the day Elsa did not lock herself away or constantly browbeat herself with chants of "Conceal, don't feel" because she likes it. She did so because she wanted to protect her sister and subjects from her powers (at least as much as she wants to protect herself from getting lynched by her subjects), and thought (idiotically) that this was the best way to do it. The film makes it clear that she doesn't WANT to live alone or hide/suppress her emotions to hide/suppress her powers; she wants to be with her sister and her people. No matter how you slice it, giving up something you want because you think it benefits someone else is hardly selfish.

Merida starts off selfish, but she grows out of it.

Everyone knows my thoughts on this one, so I'll refrain from repeating.

@Tygers_Eye if you think Elsa is the most selfless, why did you pick for Ariel, who you think is the most selfish?

Elsa? Selfish? Were we watching the same movie?

May sound weird but her selflessness is the thing that makes her a little selfish.

she sacficing her happiness for the saftey of others

Never found her selfish.

No one I think. They're all selfish Disney princesses, they just think about themselves.
