Frieren

* Manga
* Past

**Frieren** 「フリーレン, *Furīren*?」 is the main protagonist of *Frieren: Beyond Journey's End*. She was the Mage of the Hero Party and traveled alongside Hero Himmel, Warrior Eisen, and Priest Heiter in a ten-year journey to defeat the Demon King.

## Personality

Frieren has an easy-going personality; however, her aloof attitude makes her a mystery to her peers, with Heiter commenting that they as Humans cannot perceive an Elf's feelings. As an Elf that has lived for at least a millennium, she has a poor sense of time that manifests in a bad habit of being unable to get up in the morning, along with a deeper inability to comprehend how time passes for Humans. This is, in part, a reason for Frieren's aloof attitude, since she sees large lengths of time as too brief for her to form meaningful connections. For instance, she thought of a ten-year journey with her comrades as short and believed she knew nothing about the Hero Himmel even up until his passing. However, following Himmel's funeral, she made the decision to get to know Humans better.

Although she is generally stoic, carefree, and often lacks tact, Frieren also has things she is emotionally sensitive to. She was embarrassed when others discovered her mana detection is interrupted for a fraction of a second when a spell is cast, a common error for apprentice mages that she hasn't been able to overcome. She is sensitive to people calling her old and held a grudge against Stark for doing so twice. When she is upset, she is capable of throwing a tantrum that can result in her crying for upwards of three days, scaring the other members of the Hero's Party.

## Appearance

Frieren is a petite, female Elf with green eyes and long white hair tied into two pigtails. Like all Elves, she has large, pointed ears.

She wears a striped black and white shirt, along with a white jacket with gold embellishments tucked into a matching skirt with a black belt. Over her jacket, she wears a short white and gold cape with a high collar. She also wears black tights and brown boots, and a pair of gold and red earrings.

In the past, she let her hair down and wore a simple, white dress.

## Abilities

* **Immense Mana Output**: Frieren's unrestrained mana output is incredibly high. She is shown to have considerably more mana than even Aura, one of the Seven Sages of Destruction.
* **Mana Concealment**: Trained by her mentor, Flamme, Frieren has mastered the art of concealing her mana, and uses it as a deception strategy against demons. Her skill in concealment is exceptional. She has practiced limiting her mana for so long that even experienced mages, such as Aura and Falsch, cannot detect instability in her mana. Only a few mages have seen through her restriction, the most notable being the Demon King, who saw through her in an instant.
* **Spell to produce a field of flowers**: Frieren was taught her mentor's favorite magic, magic to produce a beautiful field of flowers, which holds sentimental value to her. Frieren is able to choose what flowers grow as long as she has seen the flower before. She avoids using this spell due to it bringing up memories of Flamme.
* **Analytical Ability**: Frieren is highly adept at analyzing magics and countering them. This applies even to magic used by the Seven Sages of Destruction which are said to defy all intelligence and reason. She has analyzed and countered the magic used by two of the Sages of Destruction: Aura the Guillotine and Macht of El Dorado. Along with the Hero Party, she was also able to break through the impenetrable barrier of the Immortal Böse.

## Trivia

* Frieren in German means "freezing."
* Frieren states that her favorite winter flower is the icicle cherry blossom.
* Frieren hates onions.
* Throughout her lifetime, Frieren has lost eleven times to mages who have less mana than her. Four of those were demons, with Qual and Macht among them; one was an elf, and the remaining six were humans.
