Hello.
[ Elsa's eyes are bright as she sits on camera, posture perfect, expression even. she's not sure if this is The Thing To Do Here, but it feels right to introduce herself, as others have been doing before her. if she's going to be working together with these people to fight for a common cause, she would like to get to know them. so there's no Queenly Air going on, just- a friendly face! well. she hopes she looks friendly. she's trying. she's still really new at this! ]
I am Queen Elsa, of Arendelle, and I've been chosen by the Seelie kingdom to help in their efforts to protect -my Shard. Well, all of our Shards, correct? And this kingdom. I'm honored to be here, truly. [ even though an inVITATION IN ADVANCE WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE ahem ahem anyway. it's clear Elsa doesn't have all the facts on this fight, but she's working with what she knows, yeah.] War isn't entirely foreign to me, in concept, although I admit there hasn't been a time of war in my kingdom since I was born, so. I'll try my best to help, in whatever way I can, although I'll need to look to those with experience for guidance. [ but I won't slay anybody, that's insane. wait, shh, don't say that. that's a very undiplomatic thing to say. ]
Which is why I'm reaching out now, in hopes of finding someone that might be able to teach me how to use my given talents to help. Especially now, with the notice of the monsters [ worms, ew. ] that are attacking the land. In the interest of full disclosure- I have ice magic. And as uncommon as it is back in Arendelle, I know that isn't the case here, so I'm hoping that being honest about that isn't as unheard of as it was back home. I'm hoping to find someone willing to teach me how to use my magic both effectively, and safely, in this ..situation. [ she can't just go around making with the icicle stabby on everything they're told to fight. ..can she? ]
Also, I have been looking for one young woman in particular, her name is Anna. Princess Anna. [ this is so the important part here, finding her sister. even if she was trying hard to make it sound casual and NOT AT ALL WORRIED. and hey, yeah, she's going to use their titles. she's proud of their titles, because she's proud of her kingdom. rep-re-sent! ] Anna, if you're here? Let me know, please. I'd like to meet with you as soon as possible.

Your cousins, hm? Are they benders too?
voice.
[ and let's get one thing straight here: even though they're on better terms after everything happened (which is odd in and of itself, really), they still kinda creep korra out. ]

Well, I've never heard of a firebender born in the water tribes. [ there's a good nature about this, so it's not like she's trying to talk down to elsa on the subject. ] They usually come from the Fire Nation, and earthbenders from the Earth Kingdom.
[ please note the 'usually". ]
But it also kind of runs in the family? Sort of? [ now she's just making it more complicated for herself. it's weird enough having to explain the mechanics of her world when she's honestly never thought of it any other way. ] See, I have two friends who are brothers, but one's a firebender and the other's an earthbender and they got their bending abilities from their parents.
[ in short: bryke is on crack. ]
voice.
[ she pauses, as if double checking herself to make sure she's got this right ]
It's genetic? And families with the same abilities have settled together, by now. Which make up the different tribes.

Yes and no? People got their powers from the lionturtles but all the lion turtles lived separately from each other for a long long time, long enough that the humans who lived on the lionturtles didn't know that there were others in the world. When humanity finally moved off the lionturtles, most of them got the ability to control one element: earth, fire, air, water, and they settled what used to be the spirit wilds and—
[ A DEEP BREATh wow that all came out in a rush, like when she told tenzin and his family about unalaq. ]
... The Water Tribe split into two sister tribes, one at the north pole and one at the south.
voice.
... So, yeah, you had it right.
[ she gives up :( ]

[ she's honestly trying to make sense of all of that, totally listening. it- generally makes no sense, but she said she was right, so ]
That's very fascinating, actually.
voice.
You think so?
