Just in keeping with the whole “innocence reclaimed” idea, I think Anastasia (i.e. the White Queen version of her) could be written to be enough like Anna where it mattered. I totally agree with you that, personality-wise, the Red Queen version is far more like Elsa than Anna, which could put Anastasia in a good position to relate to where Elsa is coming from. I’ve also considered that the twist in this case could end up being that Elsa and An(n)a are one in the same, no new sister needed, per say, maybe just a good friend. Or, maybe there’s no biological sister needed at all. I like the idea of Will’s sister being Elsa as well and, since Will and Ana are now the White King and Queen, that would be more like a sister-in-law.
If Lady Tremaine adopted all her daughters, it might help explain the sudden disdain towards the previously pampered Anastasia – I haven’t seen the Cinderella sequels so, all I have to go on here is the first movie. I’d just figured this was because Will had come into the picture. I don’t really see Drizella as playing much part either, unless she gets renamed and given a full character make-over. Maybe after Ana ran away with Will Lady Tremaine arranged a loveless marriage to a king for Drizella, who maybe was better at concealing her feelings and doing what was expected of her. That whole timeline is a little confusing to me because, as Ana leaves, Lady Tremaine says “At least I have your sisters” but, we know Ashley was already engaged to Prince Thomas at that point (the Jabberwocky mentions it later) so, there should only have been one left for her to use. Maybe, having seen the sequels, you understand that comment a bit better.
I’ve got a favorite theory that’s less reliant on characters already being matches for their Frozen counterparts and more on where they could develop from their current state that would still serve the key points of the Frozen/Snow Queen storyline. I might write it out later in greater detail (or as fan-fiction) but, for now, I’m keeping it to myself. I really like all your ideas too, though!
