Frieren is the main character of the series. She is an elf mage who has lived for over a thousand years. As an elf, her understanding of human emotions is not very good. Because elves live much longer than humans, she thinks that if she gets too attached to a human, she will lose them too quickly. She is a very powerful mage and is part of the hero party that defeated the Demon King.
History
About a thousand years ago, Frieren lived in an elven village where she was the strongest due to her high mana concentration. Sadly, her village was attacked by Basalt the Throne, a general from the Demon King’s army. Frieren was the only survivor and managed to defeat Basalt. Later, Flamme found her and took her as an apprentice. Flamme trained her to hide her mana to deceive demons.
Flamme, being a wise mentor, prepared Frieren for future challenges and even introduced her to Serie, another powerful elf. Serie admired Frieren’s strength but was upset that Frieren focused too much on magic. Despite this, Flamme believed Frieren could defeat the Demon King and bring peace.
After Flamme passed away, Frieren roamed the country alone, exploring magic and helping people. During her travels, she met a young boy named Himmel. Even though Frieren didn’t remember the encounter, her magic left a lasting impression on Himmel. Years later, Himmel, now a hero, recruited Frieren to join his team to defeat the Demon King.
After their victory, Frieren continued her magical journey alone for another 50 years. When they met again to watch the Era Meteors, Himmel had grown old and passed away soon after. Frieren regretted not knowing him better due to the short human lifespan. This made her want to understand humans more.
Twenty years after Himmel’s death, Frieren found Heiter, a priest from their Hero Party, and met Fern, a young girl he saved. Heiter wanted Frieren to train Fern, but Frieren was hesitant due to the dangers of being a mage apprentice. Eventually, Frieren agreed to train Fern and even taught her powerful magic. After Heiter died, Frieren and Fern set off on a new journey together.
