Not only does the magical vision vaguely tease that Elsa is the fifth spirit, but it also foreshadows Elsa’s entire journey to Ahtohallan. Before the vision of the elements begins to form, the image of a snowflake appears beneath Elsa with her at its center, foreshadowing that she is the fifth spirit and the unifying core of the elemental spirits. Since the fifth spirit is meant to bring balance to the elements and acts as a mediator between the natural world and civilization, the fifth spirit, within the imagery of the snowflake, lies at the center. Throughout Frozen 2, a snowflake becomes the common representation of the interconnected elemental spirits, with each of the individual branches of crystals representing a single element.
