Fun Facts

Frozen was released on November 27th, 2013.

While writing the fanfic, there were numerous years in which Frozen is said to take place. At the time I began The First Christmas, sources said Frozen took place in July of 1839. Therefore, I decided to stick with that year even after seeing Disney Wikia saying Frozen takes place in July 1843.

The name Elsa means "God is my oath". It is a German and Scandinavian form of Elisabeth which is from the Hebrew Elisheba.

The surname White has several different possible origins: White is usually a descriptive name or nickname given to a person with very light hair or complexion, from the Middle English whit, meaning "white."

The surname Vermeulen is of Dutch and Belgian origin: reduced form of Vandermeulen, a topographic name for someone who lived at a mill.

I intentionally made this fanfic forty-one chapters in honor of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. That is how many symphonies he wrote in his lifetime. My favorite symphony written by Mozart is his last symphony, the "Jupiter" symphony. It is not only his biggest and longest symphony but is also one of the greatest symphonies in the history of classical music. According to the greatest conductors around the world, it is the third greatest symphony of all-time, behind only Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth and Third symphonies, respectively. The mood as a whole is happy. It does have its dark moments, but overall, to reiterate, the mood is cheerful. You can read more about the greatest symphonies of all time on The Guardian. The article was published on August 4th, 2016 by Mark Brown.

Prince Edmund Thomas Curry of England is 6'3".

Sir Stephen Conor White is also 6'3".

Prince Lucas Finn Vermeulen of Ostenda is 6'7".

Prince Cade Phillip Mitchell of Scotland is 6'8".

King Matthew Dylan Curry of England is 6'2".

I do not have heights for the other characters. Thus, I will let you guys be the judge on what their respective heights are.

Edmund was inspired by NBA player Stephen Curry. Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history.

Stephen was inspired by Mr. Han from the 2010 version of the movie Karate Kid.

Lucas was inspired by NBA player Klay Thompson. Along with teammate Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson is one of the "Splash Brothers" who are known for their excellent shooting abilities.

Cade was inspired by NBA player Cade Cunningham. Cade Cunningham was the first overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft.

Olivia was inspired by the name Oliver. I thought it would be a good name for the love interest of Lucas.

Rachel was inspired by Riley, the daughter of NBA player Cade Cunningham.

William is a common name in Norway, and that is the name I chose for the Captain of the Guards in Arendelle.

OoOoOoOoOoO
