Frieren (AtomicGato)

Frieren's appearance: A petite elf with green eyes, thick eyebrows, and long silver hair parted in the middle and braided into two high pigtails. Like all elves, she has large, pointed ears. She typically wears a striped black and white shirt and a white jacket tucked into a skirt with a black belt. The jacket's sleeves end in large gold cuffs. Both the jacket and skirt are decorated with gold trim along the edges. Over the jacket is a short white and gold cape with decorative gold inserts with red gemstones on each shoulder and a high collar fastened with a red gemstone. She also wears black tights, brown boots, and a pair of gold earrings with red teardrop-shaped gemstones.

Main character traits Detachment and lack of understanding of time. As an elf, Freeren lives much longer than humans, giving her a distinctly different sense of time. The years fly by for her, preventing her from grasping the transience of human life. For example, after a ten-year campaign with the hero Himmel's squad, she suggested meeting in fifty years, not realizing that her comrades had already aged. This is why she didn't have time to bond with them.

Calmness and stoicism. Freeren usually maintains a cool and composed demeanor, but also possesses a sense of humor.

Emotional sensitivity. Despite her outward reserve, she has vulnerabilities. She reacts painfully to being called old and harbors a grudge against Stark for such remarks. She also becomes embarrassed when others notice her mistakes as a beginner.

Playfulness and a penchant for risk-taking. Freeren has a playful side: she's willing to take risks for gain, such as opening treasure chests, even when the risk of being cheated is high.

She has a tendency toward childish pranks. At times, she can act lazy and childish, forcing her apprentice, Fern, to take on the role of "mother."

She has a capacity for deep emotion. When upset, Freeren can throw tantrums and cry for up to three days, frightening those around her. She also has rare but intense outbursts of anger—roughly once every ten years—that last no more than ten minutes.

Insecurity. It's implied that she sometimes experiences insecurity about her body, manifesting itself, for example, in envy of Fern's figure.

Character Development Himmel's death is a pivotal moment in Freeren's development as a character. During the funeral, she realizes she knew almost nothing about the man who had been with her for so many years, and resolves to rectify this by seeking to better understand people. She takes Fern as her apprentice and embarks on a new journey to gain a deeper understanding of human nature and learn to appreciate the moments she has lived. Thus, Freeren's identity is a constant internal conflict between her elven perception of time and her growing need for human connection. Her story is a journey from emotional detachment to greater empathy and an appreciation for the value of life.
