Frieren and Fern

Frieren is Fern’s mentor. Frieren has an easy-going personality, and acts very stoic and nonchalant. 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 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 Himmel the Hero, 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 has yet to overcome. She is sensitive to people calling her old and holds a grudge against Stark for doing so multiple times. 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. It also implied that she is somewhat insecure about her body, as she occasionally shows hints of jealousy over Fern's figure. Although as an elf she has no urges for reproduction or romance, and is usually oblivious to any hints that someone may like her, even if they’re obvious. She is a virgin and sex doesn’t interest her in the slightest.

Fern is being taught to be a great mage by Frieren. Fern has a mature personality as a result of her upbringing, leading her to often act as the mother of the party. She is also very cool-headed like frieren and she doesn’t show emotion often. 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, along with cleaning up her messes. She acts similarly around Stark, such as getting mad when he stays up late, even though they are around the same age. 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.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.
