Sometimes harsh, other times warm and loving — but always there for Stark; is Fern a tsundere?
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) spoilers ahead!
Summary
The series is not very sexual, but Fern and Stark are often viewed as a future couple.
Fern always helps Stark out, but she can be very harsh, especially if she thinks that Stark is doing something “ecchi” or immoral.
Fern does not look or act like a regular tsundere, but her behavior can be stretched to fit the description.
Just like the titular character, the series of Frieren is rather asexual. However, fans often find potential couples in what they are watching, and an argument can be made that Fern and Stark might eventually get together. In that case, Fern is probably a tsundere — someone who is harsh at times, especially at the beginning, to their love interest before becoming warmer and kinder to them. Let’s take a look at the pair and see if this suggestion holds water.
Fern and Stark
Fern is normally a very kind and polite girl. However, fans are certain that she constantly looks at Stark disapprovingly. Sometimes, Stark deserves it, for example, when he loses all his clothes and even weapons in a game of cards. Note that Fern goes in to return the clothes, and she successfully saves Stark from losing his axe. She is a very responsible person and always helps Stark when she can. However, sometimes Stark does nothing bad, and Fern is still unhappy. Is it because she is a tsundere?
Ecchi
Fern is a strict girl, who is very opposed to everything sexuality-adjacent. She gets angry when Stark comments that clouds remind him of breasts, for example. She is also very much opposed to giving him a potion that dissolves clothing.
It is a little strange, then, that the day Stark joined the party, Fern used a spell that allowed her to look through clothes and even criticized Stark’s size. It is a clear contradiction, and while it does not work the same way as tsundere contradictions normally do, it is still worth noting.
Not Tsundere
Fern is definitely not an average tsundere. She rarely, if ever, gets angry, and she is most often deadpan, but she is always there for Stark, even if she looks at him like he is always at fault for something. Perhaps, he is at fault for playing with her heart? Most likely, though, Fern simply decided that Stark did something ecchi again. She doesn't even allow the man to carry Frieren when she is tired. It is no surprise Fern can be mistaken for a tsundere.
Will Stark and Fern end up together?
