Arendelle Legend Trilogy
Cliff, Grand Pappy, and Bulda
Cliff is the adoptive father of Kristoff and Sven, and the husband of Bulda, Kristoff's adoptive mother. Like his wife Bulda, he is a welcoming troll who enjoys the presence of Kristoff. As mentioned, Cliff is, like the other trolls, a meddlesome and loving troll, but he means well, and is a loving troll as the adoptive father of Kristoff.
Grand Pappy is a wise, elderly troll who rules the mystical area known as the Valley of the Living Rock, a land inhabited by dozens of trolls. These trolls have the ability to morph into rocks to hide themselves from those they wish to keep away from, an ability Pabbie shares. Most of his background is shrouded in mystery, though some things are revealed and explained. He is the father of Bulda, though his relations to the other trolls is unknown. Once Bulda adopted the orphan ice harvester, Kristoff, and raised him among the troll community, Pappy officially welcomed him into the family as well, taking the role as his grandfather, explaining how he adopted the nickname Grand Pappy.Pappy is also the only troll shown to have magical abilities. He's shown being able to conjure up images through rays of light, but more importantly shown to have healing abilities, which is demonstrated when he uses the powers on young Anna after Elsa accidentally struck her with magic, revealing Pabbie to be a shaman. Though powerful, Pabbie is unable to heal and/or undo every magic spell or curse. He does, however, have knowledge of a source that can. Pappy is also shown to have the ability to wipe/alter memories, as well as look into the future to some extent. The troll is also able to sense magical elements nearby, seen when Anna (as an adult) arrived in the Valley of the Living Rock, with Pabbie sensing her frozen heart curse not too long after her arrival. This is seen previously when the royal family visited the valley years before Anna and Elsa's adulthood, Pabbie knowing Elsa held magical abilities within her the moment she entered his land. Unfortunately, despite his wisdom, Pabbie's metaphors and riddles can be taken literally. For instance, when Pabbie told the king and queen fear will be Elsa's enemy, they believed he meant the fear of those around her. However, what he truly meant was Elsa's very own fear, as her emotions control her abilities, and when she's afraid, it causes chaos. Another instance is when the cure for Anna's frozen heart was revealed. Anna, Kristoff, and even the other trolls believed a true love's kiss could be an act of true love, but a real act of true love is performing a selfless act for someone you love; true love meaning putting someone else's needs before yours. Ironically, it was Olaf who understood the meaning behind Pabbie's riddles, explaining them to Anna prior to her saving Elsa's life at the cost of her own. It would be at around five years later when Grand Pappy would pass away after giving Sonic some advice for defeating the Master and leave Cliff as leader of the trolls.
Bulda, the wife to Cliff, is the adoptive mother of Kristoff and Sven. Grand Pappy allows her to help Cliff, since he can be the second in command to him, in ruling the tribe of trolls. Once he passed away, however, she wailed with grief because her husband had no idea of how to rule the tribe without Grand Pappy. And that made her second in command to Cliff, which was mentioned to Kristoff later on. As far as anyone knows, she and Cliff are still ruling over the trolls to this very day.
