For Osric?
It's not ice. He's not cold, or uncaring, or unmoving.
It's not water. He doesn't adapt well, he'd rather change his environment than let his environment change him, and he's not flexible enough.
It's not earth. He's not hard, or stoic, and his faith can be shaken.
It's not wind. He's not free-spirited enough, and he's shackled to the consequences of his life choices.
That leaves fire (the obvious one)... or thunder, which calls into mind roiling thunderclouds, sudden and swift bolts of lightning, a presence that's there off in the distance, waiting to strike, and when it does it's loud and hard to miss, and the whole elemental is mythologically associated with judgment and justice and a little dash of chaos.
