These elements of the film pair with the idea of eudaimonia, as we see the growth of the character and their happiness. As Ryff and Singer mention in their writings, eudaimonia involves personal growth and purpose in life, which helps the individual's well being. This is shown from the start of the film, as when Elsa discovers her powers she believes she has no other choice but to remove herself from the kingdom and her sister in order to harbor the dangerous nature of the powers. Once she exiles herself, this is where we see her happiest form, she is in her own element, free to be at peace with her powers and forming a new life. Although she is seen to be happy and content with her newly found essence, we see her struggle with the loneliness as she is apart from her younger sister Anna. This key part of the story demonstrates eudaemonia and it’s environmental mastery which claims that, “the individual’s ability to choose or create environments suitable to his/her psychic conditions as a key characteristic of mental health.”(Ryff, C. D., & Singer, B. H.
