| Introduction |
Fräse ｢フラーゼ Furāze?｣ is the Captain of the Empire's Magic Special Forces. She has been a member of the Magic Special Forces for over fifty years, and she was sent to inspect the Fortress City of Weise during its heyday.
Personality[]
Fräse is an extremely powerful mage. In her youth, Macht of the Golden Land judged her to be strong enough to destroy a fortress city. She is described to be a sly vixen that is troublesome and difficult to deal with in political negotiations. Her true intentions are difficult to discern, with Denken and Glück both noting that Fräse is a schemer. Though Glück believes this must be stressful for her subordinates, her Vice-Captain, Kanone, is particularly loyal to her. Kanone is unwilling to disclose the details of Fräse's mission for the Magic Special Forces, and she goes as far as to carry around a pack of Fräse's favorite cigarettes for her at all times. Fräse is very particular with the cigarettes that she smokes, with the type of cigarette remaining unchanged for over fifty years.
Appearance[]
Fräse has light-colored hair tied into a ponytail, and her hair is parted in the middle with side bangs that fall to shoulder-length. She has noticeable wrinkles, and she wears a pair of small, circular-rimmed glasses. Her attire consists of the Magic Special Forces uniform, which is fastened with buttons, and the uniform features several belts strapped around her torso. She also wears a long, flowing cape and a pair of dark gloves.
In her youth, Fräse had a near-identical appearance, wearing the same hairstyle and style of uniform but without her glasses. She also donned a military-service cap displaying the Magic Special Forces insignia.
Synopsis[]
History[]
Fifty years prior to the events of the story, Fräse was sent as an envoy from the Empire to the Fortress City of Weise in order to conduct inspections. Upon her arrival, Macht warned Glück that Fräse was extremely powerful and could destroy the Fortress City on her own. He requested permission to kill her from Glück, as he believed her to be too powerful to be a mere envoy and too dangerous to be left alive. However, Glück decided to converse with Fräse and sound out her true intentions instead. Though their conversation was described to be tedious, and Fräse troublesome to deal with, Fräse seemingly accomplished what she had set out to do, and the Fortress City of Weise was left unscathed.
At some point during the next fifty years, Fräse rose to become Captain of the Magic Special Forces. In this interim, when Land was a child, he and his grandmother were hunted down by Fräse for unknown reasons.

Abilities[]
Not much is known about Fräse's abilities. She is the Captain of the Magic Special Forces, and likely possesses considerable political acumen. Fifty years prior to the events of the story, she was deemed to be dangerous enough to destroy the Fortress City of Weise on her own by Macht, the strongest of the Seven Sages of Destruction, who went as far as to immediately request that Glück allow him to kill her due to the danger that she posed.

Trivia[]
- Fräse's name may be based on the German transitive verb "Fräsen," which often refers to removing something in a sense. Milling would be an example (a "Fräse" would therefore be a milling machine), but there are other machines like "Schneefräsen" (snow blowers) or "Grabenfräsen" (trenchers) too.
- Fräse's name may also be a localization of the German word "Phrase," which has the same meaning in English.
