Frieren and Fern

Frieren was the Mage of the Hero Party and traveled alongside Himmel the Hero, Eisen the Warrior, and Heiter the Priest in a ten-year journey to defeat the Demon King. As an elf, she has lived for over a thousand years and is currently the teacher of Fern, a potential human mage. Frieren has an easy-going personality, however, her aloof attitude makes her a mystery to her peers, as humans and elves tend to see things differently. As an elf who 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. 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 has yet to overcome. She is sensitive to people calling her old. 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 Party. In addition, Frieren can experience an extreme temper around once every decade, which lasts only up to 10 minutes. It is also implied that she is somewhat insecure about her body, as she occasionally shows hints of jealousy over Fern's figure. Frieren is a petite, female elf with green eyes, thick eyebrows, and long, white hair parted in the middle and tied into two high pigtails. Like all elves, she has large, pointed ears. When casting spells as a mage, she utilizes a red staff with a gold, crescent-shaped tip that holds a red jewel in its center. Her staff has gold accents and a red ribbon tied at the tip. She wears a striped black and white shirt, along with a white jacket tucked into a skirt with a black belt. The sleeves of her jacket end with large, gold cuffs. Both her jacket and skirt have gold trims along the edges. Over her jacket, she wears a short cape that matches the white and gold theme of her jacket and skirt, and the cape includes decorative, gold accents with red jewels on each shoulder and a high collar that is fastened with a red jewel. She also wears black tights, brown boots, and a pair of gold earrings with red, teardrop-shaped jewels hanging from each earring. Her abilities: • Immense mana output: Frieren's unrestrained mana output is incredibly high. • Mana concealment: Trained by her mentor, Flamme, Frieren has mastered the art of concealing her mana, and she uses it as a deception strategy against demons. Her skill in concealment is exceptional, and she has practiced limiting her mana for so long that even experienced mages 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. She can even suppress her mana enough to avoid detection by a Stille, but only while staying still. • Restraint and Hypnosis Magic resistance: Frieren has been shown to be resistant to most conventional binding and hypnosis spells. • Analytical ability: Frieren is highly adept at analyzing magics and countering them. Along with the Hero Party, she was also able to break through the impenetrable barrier of Böse the Immortal. Her spells: • Offensive magic: Zoltraak: A simple spell that shoots either a large blast or multiple smaller blasts of concentrated mana. Frieren contributed to the research of this magic, modifying it from Qual's Human Killing Magic to Demon Killing Magic. Due to the novelty of the spell, Frieren is unable to react to it immediately and instinctively and thus has a slightly delayed reaction when defending against it. • Defensive magic: Like most modern mages, Frieren is capable of casting defensive magic in the form of a hexagonal protective barriers that can defend specific locations or encircle the caster. This defense spell is mainly used against offensive magic like Zoltraak. • Dispelling magic: Frieren is capable of analyzing an opponent's spell and cancel out the effects of the spell. Her staff glows golden while casting the dispelling magic. • 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. • Spell that shuts the door of a treasure vault at the risk of your life: A binding spell that is considered top-rated in folk magic. The seal only breaks upon the caster's death. • Spell that creates a black hole: A spell used by Frieren that creates a black hole that attracts surrounding objects in, ultimately atomizing them. • "The Height of Magic": An offensive attack that Frieren clone uses as a last resort. Mana cannot be sensed when the attack is used, and targets of the attack are unable to recognize it as a spell. It seems to create a telekinetic effect that repels the target. The attack is so strong that it pins Fern against a wall and destroys her staff on use, however it also leaves the caster's guard completely down. • Unnamed protective spell: A protective spell that Frieren developed after completing her two-month analysis on Macht's Diagoldze, which was considered a curse. It nullifies it and makes it ineffective. • Unnamed memory transference magic: An advanced mental magic spell that transfers memories from the user to a target, or from a target to the user. Her Weaknesses: • Mana detection interruption: Frieren lacks certain magical basics, and her mana detection is interrupted the moment she casts a spell. This leaves her open to mages that are particularly good at mana concealment and can attack her while she is occupied with casting spells. However, this is often negligible due to her other talents and is not a vulnerability that can be easily exploitable by any mage.

Fern is a young human mage, and she accompanies Frieren as her apprentice and party member. She is an orphaned war refugee originally from the Southern Lands, later adopted by Heiter and placed under Frieren's care after his death. She's 19 year old. Fern has a mature personality as a result of her upbringing, leading her to often act as the mother of the party. She constantly has to help Frieren perform ordinary tasks such as waking her up due to her being a deep sleeper, feeding her, and dressing her,[2] along with cleaning up her messes. Despite her outward motherly nature, Fern is easily upset and can act childish when others don't cater to what she wants or offend her, and in extreme cases, pouting and completely ignoring them when they attempt to reconcile, though this can be resolved through actions like treating her with food and abiding by demands she makes. She also has a habit of following around and watching others when she is suspicious or curious about them instead of confronting them directly, as seen when she stalks Frieren after suspecting her of making poor financial decisions. Fern is also a very loyal apprentice and has the discipline to train incredibly hard since she was young so she can manage on her own, ultimately becoming a powerful mage acknowledged by Frieren. She rarely cracks under pressure and is able to keep a level head in combat despite receiving injuries and battling opponents that are more powerful or experienced than her. Her devotion to learning magic stems from the loss of her parents at an early age and her subsequent adoption by Heiter; after nearly giving up after her parents' death, she was stopped by the priest, who advised her to stay alive for the sake of keeping the good memories she had. As a result, she became extremely dedicated with the maturity to learn magic and prove to Heiter that he could pass peacefully without any regrets and without worrying about her. Fern is a young human with purple eyes and long, waist-length purple hair with bangs. She usually wears her hair down with two additional chest-length strands framing her face in a Hime-style hair cut. Fern also grew to be taller than Frieren and with a more developed figure. As a result of her mature and calm personality, she frequently wears a stoic expression and rarely expresses strong emotions. As a mage, Fern wields a long, wooden staff wrapped with purple ribbons in battle. During her travels with Frieren, Fern is most commonly seen wearing a long, buttoned white dress with a Victorian top, including a frilled collar and puffy white sleeves, along with black boots. When outdoors, she also dons a long black coat with a hood, which has a gray inside layer. Her abilities: • Mana concealment: Like Frieren, Fern is an expert at concealing her mana, a skill she has maintained ever since she was a child. As a result, she can often sneak up on individuals, including demons, without being detected. Even Frieren herself claims to have trouble locating Fern when she is concealing her mana. She is arguably better than Frieren given she can move while completely concealing her mana, whereas Frieren must stay still. • Mana detection: Fern has shown to be more skilled at detecting mana than any other human introduced so far. • Fast spell casting: While she is inferior to Frieren in terms of techniques and mana, her true strength lies on her quick release of magic. According to Frieren, battles end more quickly when Fern fights. Her spells: • Offensive magic: Zoltraak: The only offense spell Fern utilizes. Having practiced it from a young age, she is very familiar with it and is able to cast multiple Zoltraak blasts extremely quickly. • Spell to make clothes clean: A legendary spell from the mythical era, it renders any clothing Fern uses it on clean, spotless, and infused with a pleasant floral scent.

Then they continued to explore. After arriving and renting a boarding house to stay in a village, they go around the village to explore, socialize and sometimes buy food like apples.
