Series (Elf / Master Mage / Monster Girl)

Frieren (Anime)

Serie (｢ゼーリエ, Zērie?｣) is an elven mage known for her extensive knowledge of magic. She is described as a living grimoire and is the head of the Continental Magic Association. Serie refers to herself as a Great Mage from the Mythical Era.

Appearance

Serie is an elf with golden hair and golden eyes. As an elf, she possesses large pointed ears and a youthful appearance, despite being even older than Frieren. Serie wears her hair loose except for four sections that she has tied at the base. Her bangs, which frame her face, are also tied off at the bottom. She wears a loose white top with a green brooch and white shorts. When out, she wears a long red cape with gold fastenings and green jewel embellishments hanging from the fastenings. The top of the cape is lined with white fur. Serie is often seen without footwear. She has two bangles or wrappings on her ankles.

Personality

Like most elves, Serie doesn't often express emotions and sometimes appears rather cold. However, Serie is very fair in her assessment of others and has a sharp intuition when it comes to potential. She is pragmatic when assessing situations, immediately recognizing certain dangers, but still willing to concede to her disciples' wishes. With her status and knowledge, she has gained multiple apprentices over the years. Serie acts and initially seems ambivalent about her human apprentices. When faced with their limitations due to lifespan, she declares that human apprentices shouldn't be taken after all, and she claims that she merely took Flamme as an apprentice on a whim. Yet, despite this act, even after centuries or millennia passing, it is noted that she has not forgotten any of her disciples' favorite magic nor their personalities; despite claiming that Flamme's favorite magic was a pointless spell, she conducts the third stage of the First-Class Mage Exam amongst a field of flowers generated by this magic. Like many elves, Serie is not very in touch with her emotions, and as such, she has difficulty properly expressing and identifying her feelings. Serie has admitted that while she was disappointed that the vast majority of her apprentices never reached her level nor left a significant mark on history, she never regretted taking them on as her students. Serie values those with burning ambition. She views magic as merely a tool for killing and vehemently disagrees with Frieren's feelings about how the greatest enjoyment of magic comes only during the pursuit of it.
