"Let it go!"
It's ElsaΒ from Disney's FrozenΒ as a pony. She is the queen of a kingdom to the north, and is known for her beauty, grace, and kindness. But there is something very special about her - she wields the power to create snow and ice. She may be a Unicorn and she can use her magic to carry objects and teleport herself, but most of her powers are of ice and snow. Her mother was from a tribe of ponies who wield the natural elements, and she controlled elements of winter, just as her daughter would. Elsa was even born in the first day of winter, the Winter Moon! Her magic can bring beauty, but it can also be very dangerous. When she was a filly, she and her little sister, Anna, used to play together, until she accidentally struck her in the head with her magic. Anna was healed, but her memory of Elsa's magic disappeared. Haunted by that dark event, Elsa isolated herself from everypony, including her own sister, until the day of her coronation as queen of the kingdom. For the first time in years, Elsa and Anna got to interact with each other. However, after Anna fell in love with a prince from far away and asked for her sister's blessing, Elsa refused, but in the heat of the sisters' argument, Elsa accidentally unleashed an eternal winter, and she fled. Feeling unrestrained for the first time in a long time, she used her magic to build an ice palace and live a solitary life.
Anna went to find her sister. After making friends with the lonely ice-collector, Kristoff, and a snow-pony brought to life by Elsa's magic, Olaf, Anna found Elsa and told her about the winter she unleashed. Elsa, overcome with fear of hurting Anna again, struck her with her magic by accident again, freezing her heart! Later on, Elsa was captured and imprisoned. Anna, after learning that an act of true love can break the spell, returned home and asks the prince to kiss her, but it turned out he schemed to marry Anna so he could rule the kingdom, and then kill both sisters. Before the pernicious prince could destroy Elsa, Anna shielded her sister, completely freezing solid. As Elsa mourned over her sister, Anna thawed; her sacrifice was the act of true love. Realizing that love is the key to controlling her powers, Elsa ended the winter, and to this day, she brings the beauty of winter all year long and keeps her loved ones safe.

Here's my take on the Queen of Arendelle as a pony! I know a lot of Brony artists did their versions, and for some time I wasn't sure about doing my part. Since this month is the first month of winter, and since Elsa's become one of my favorite Disney Princesses, I felt like this was the perfect opportunity to try creating my version of her ponysona. Not to mention Elsa's ponysona did actually make a cameo appearance in the new My Little Pony comics, and so I had the references I needed.
Since she's the eldest sister, I decided to give her the same proportions as Twilight Sparkle as an Alicorn. Plus, it adds to her regality and grace. Her eyelashes are based on those belonging to Autumn Blaze the Kirin; it was the perfect choice. The coat color was from her cameo ponysona from the new MLP comics. If you look closely, you'll see that her cutie mark is the snowflake from her movie. It suits her magnificently. And then, there's the mane and tail. I had a feeling this was going to be the toughest part. There was a pony who had a similar ponytail as hers, a Unicorn filly named Raspberry Dazzle. It wasn't easy to make. I also know that she had a snowflake pin, but I didn't have the time to work on it. The tail wasn't easy to work on either, though the comic helped me out. And the forelock wasn't easy either. But in the end, this turned out beautifully.
If you're wondering that since I made Elsa's ponysona, I'll also make Anna's, no chance of that I'm afraid. Maybe another time. This month is about Elsa.
Happy Birthday Elsa!!!

I'm still considering if this is the final design. So, this can't be used.
