      - Says "If you'd hit my sister Elsa, it'd be 'yeesh!'" to a complete stranger in her first conversation with him

      - Gets engaged to a man she just met that afternoon
        
        Completely and unconditionally trusts him so much she puts him in an incredibly powerful position of authority and acts surprised when it comes back to bite her

    - - Either that or a complete accident such as the eternal winter
- - - - Is heavily implied to be a product of abuse or at least bad parenting as well given "Fixer Upper" but it's all completely played off for comedy
      - Feelings for Anna come at the last second
      - Doesn't care about Anna's life and only cares about the sled for a lot of the movie

      - First scene involves him calling the vendor trying to help him out a crook and stealing a place to sleep in his pen
