Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) spoilers ahead!
Summary:
Fern always seems to be unhappy about something.
Many fans justify this behavior with her age.
Fern did not have a good role model, as her parents had died.
Fern isn't as beloved by fans of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End as the other characters. The reason for this is her complex and sometimes bullying personality. Fern always seems to be unhappy about something. Some even call her a tsundere.
She berates almost every member of Frieren’s party. These moments stand out because there is not much emotion in the series. Why did the author make Fern like this, and what is behind her rudeness?
Probably everyone noticed
Fern is a very important character in the anime. She appears almost from the beginning of the series. In fact, she is the second main character with the most screen time. She is also a mage and replaces Frieren if you look at the composition of the first group of heroes.
However, she has a very controversial personality. Although many fans justify this behavior with her age.
Everyone has probably noticed how Fern makes remarks to everyone in the party (even the older ones). She looks down on Sein for his bad habits. She constantly scolds Frieren for being frivolous. Stark, however, is the one who gets the worst of it.
Fern and Stark are about the same age, so she doesn't spare him — almost everything the boy does is criticized. In Stark's case, it could be written off as sympathy, which is not easy for a girl to express, but why does everyone else in the group get it?
A child in a dark world
Of course, by the time the main events begin, Fern is no longer a young child. But let's not forget that she did not grow up in the best conditions. No, this does not mean that Heiter did not take care of her. It's just that a priest with some vices is hardly a competent parent. Fern did not have a good role model as her parents died when she was a child.
They also lived far away from other people. Fern had no friends and therefore no opportunity to socialize. The second person she interacted with was Frieren, but the elf can hardly be called a good caretaker. It turns out that Fern has spent her entire life with withdrawn and even somewhat traumatized people.
The girl is not bad at all — she is kind and always willing to help. However, she has a hard time expressing her feelings, so she's often just plain rude. This element is not so bad for the plot as a whole. Besides the time theme, trauma plays a big role in the story.
Do you like Fern?
Please be more polite!
