Background
Elsa was ten years old when Jerry was reborn into the Marvel world. A blonde child with an intense love of magical cartoons, she imagined herself as the “Ice Queen” and treated Jerry as an abyssal demon during their games 1. Her mother died early, and because Hass was often occupied with police work, Jerry largely accompanied and raised her 23.
By middle school, Elsa publicly distanced herself from her childhood fixation on magic. She put away her props, stopped using names such as “Ice Sealing Tribulation Array,” and instead planned to join a cheerleading squad with Annie and Susan 278 279. Her interest in magic returned abruptly after she discovered the Carmen Book in the villa basement on Halloween 280 281.
Appearance
Elsa is blonde and was a small child at her first appearance. By the time Jerry returned from Sokovia, she had grown to nearly 1.6 meters tall and reached Jerry’s chin 1 465.
- Often uses a transformed sealing wand while acting as a Carmen Magic User 281 294.
- Wears a Witch Mask during masked hero activities to protect her civilian identity and family 294.
- Received Ravenclaw’s Diadem from Jerry and was immediately captivated by its eagle-shaped design and blue gemstones 356.
Personality
Elsa is theatrical, excitable, and deeply drawn to the image of a magical hero. Even as a child, she created dramatic attacks and identities for herself; becoming a real Carmen Magic User allows her to embrace that fantasy with complete sincerity 1 281. She is particularly inspired by the Wizard and initially seeks to emulate the hero by fighting crime 294.
Despite her impulsiveness, Elsa is kind-hearted and has a strong sense of justice. Jerry considers her reckless but trustworthy enough to wield Carmen Mahjong under Azure Dragon’s supervision 280. She is brave when confronted with danger, whether investigating the unexplained disturbance in her home, facing armed Hydra agents, or standing against the Demon Lord 280 368 544.
She is also protective of her family. Upon Bailey and Charlie becoming Inhumans, Elsa immediately resolves to safeguard them as an Avenger, though she remains unaware that Jerry is far from the “weak brother” she describes 608.
Abilities & Skills
Carmen Mahjong
Elsa can invoke magic through Carmen Mahjong tiles created by Jerry. Though recognized as the tiles’ new master, Jerry remains their true owner and grants her permission to use their power; she initially has no magical power of her own 281 294.
- Began with twenty tiles and later collected the complete set of 108 281 466.

- Move — incorporates Apparition-like properties, allowing Elsa to teleport herself away from danger or attention 294.
- The tiles must not be used casually; Azure Dragon instructs her to reserve magic for special circumstances 294.
Carmen Book and Sealing Wand
The Carmen Book serves as Elsa’s magical focus and contains Jerry’s accumulated magical knowledge. It provides a route for her to study and cast magic beyond direct reliance on the Mahjong tiles 466.
- The book’s Key of Sealing transforms into Elsa’s wand after a contract incantation 281.
- Elsa uses the wand to activate tiles and to perform her masked transformation sequence 294.

- Elsa successfully uses the array against Jerry’s staged Demon Lord persona, freezing and shattering him to conclude the battle 544.
- The spell is tied to Elsa’s childhood magical imagination and marks her acceptance of herself as a genuine hero 544.
