Frozen (Disney film)/WMG

Hans has no personality of his own, but rather reflects the people he is around.
As explained here

Anna is lesbian.
While Anna may appear to have male love interests this is in fact not the case at all.

Hans reflects whoever he is with, which means Anna was attracted to her reflection. Since reflections maintain the gender of the reflected person, Hans is female for Anna.

Kristoff is based on The Robber Girl who is female.

If Anna had actually died, Elsa's blizzard would have expanded into space.
Either due to her fear of her powers becoming that much stronger, or because of her murder being akin to breaking open a floodgate.

Elsa is a Magical Girl
She even has a Transformation Sequence.
