Frieren

Frieren is the protagonist of Sousou no Frieren. 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. 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. 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.

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 leggings 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.

History
Frieren is the sole survivor of an elf village which was destroyed by the demons. She was then rescued by Flamme who took her on as her apprentice.

After at least 900 years of life, she joined the Hero Party as its Mage, and journeyed to the Demon King's palace in Ende in order to defeat the Demon King. Ten years later, after defeating the Demon King, the Hero Party watched the Era Meteors together and disbanded with the promise of seeing the Era Meteors again in 50 years.

Afterwards, Frieren planned to explore the central provinces for a century, and continued to journey around whilst acquiring magic. After 50 years passed, Frieren reunited with Himmel, Eisen, and Heiter in order to see the Era Meteors together. Sometime after, when Himmel passed away, she attended his funeral.

Twenty years after the Hero Himmel's passing, she sought out Heiter in the outskirts of the Holy City Strahl and stumbled across a young Fern, whom Heiter had saved. When Heiter asked Frieren to make Fern her apprentice, she refused, citing the high death rate of mage apprentices on the battlefield; however, Heiter then requested that she decipher a grimoire on resurrection and immortality and train Fern in her free time. After five or six years, she had inadvertently ended up training Fern to a point where she was no less capable than an adult, and finally agreed to take on Fern as her apprentice. After Heiter passed, she and Fern visited his grave before setting off on a journey together.
