I'd imagine that its Elsa from a previous version of the world that got reset. Maybe Evie does meet an unfortunate end against the villaness system and that drives Elsa to undo/prevent it from happening.
Would be my guess. She finds out too late to save her in her original timeline, so uses her immense magic to warp an alternate version of herself down the path.
Additionally to reinforce that that is Elsa from the future etc, hooded Elsa is using magic that Evie developed herself and taught Elsa in the past, when they first meet in the tavern (the vortex cooling magic). So again, only someone who has met Evie to learn it would know it.
