History Characters / FrierenBeyondJourneysEndMages

* WorldsStrongestWoman: Serie is '''the''' most powerful being in the series thus far. [[spoiler:Her ''suppressed'' mana aura reads as equal to Frieren's fully revealed mana level (and if her suppression is to the same degree as Frieren's, then her actual mana amount is roughly ten times that). When she dueled Macht, the unquestioned strongest of the Seven Sages of Destruction, she could and would have eviscerated him if not for her disciples requesting that she let them seal him away instead. She is considered a walking magical encyclopedia, and is seen by Richter as the closest entity the world has seen since the time the omnipotent and omniscient Goddess visited.]]

* MeaningfulName: Her name is the German word for "flame". She is possibly a reference to [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Prometheus]], the titan that [[TheDiscoveryOfFire brought fire to humanity]] and thus started the era of humans. Similarly, Flamme convinced the emperor of the Unified Empire to [[InformationWantsToBeFree lift the ban on studying magic]] and trained the first imperial mages, which Serie claimed would be the start of the era of humans. Flamme was also the fire that warmed the "freezing" Frieren's heart, giving a young Frieren purpose in life.

* AttackReflector: One of the many spells she knows, Mistilziela, completely reflects anything Serie perceives as curse right back at the opponent, note that "curses" in this universe are specifically magic that is not understood by Mages and thus cannot normally be countered except by Priests. She notes it is a primitive magic, a "crystallization of mankind's wisdom" during the Mythical era she hails from. It took her 100 years to learn it.

* BloodKnight: Flamme accused Serie to be one, when Serie was disappointed to see that Flamme's disciple, Frieren, apparently lacked the burning ambition of a warrior. She apparently can't imagine herself living in a peaceful era. When she acts as the final examiner for the first class mage test, she lets people with a fighting spirit like Wirbel, Übel, and Denken pass, even when they know they don't stand a chance against her. Fifty years ago, when confronting Macht after the latter transmuted Weise into gold, she very obviously enjoyed fighting him, whom she appraised to be close to the pinnacle of magic. When the fight was interrupted by her disciples -- who wanted Macht sealed in Weise rather than be killed, for a chance to undo his Diagoldze in the future -- Serie claimed her mood has been spoiled and let her students do what they want.
* CannotSpitItOut: Though she acts aloof towards her human disciples, putting up an air that she doesn't have any particular feelings towards them due to them having extremely short lifespans compared to her and rarely reaching her level of power, in truth she has made sure to remember each of them and their likes and dislikes clearly, long after they have died. She herself seems bemused by this, but she has never regretted taking a disciple. She also practices magic she mocks and considers "asinine", such as Frieren's and Flamme's habit of suppressing their mana (indeed, hers is even harder to detect).

* CrazyPrepared: As a consequence of knowing most of the human spells that have ever been made, Serie tends to have multiple options for any situation she faces. She didn't consider giving up Mistilziela to Denken to be any great loss (she can relearn it, but it will take at least a century), because she has other, unnamed, defenses against curses already learned.

** Flamme called Serie a "warmonger", which is why she would not be able to defeat the demon king one day. This is in contrast to Frieren, who Flamme thought is the perfect mage of a peaceful era and indeed eventually managed to do what Serie and Flamme could not, though Frieren herself notes it is because she has good comrades (the Hero party).

A truly ancient elven mage who possesses knowledge about practically every magic spell that exists and strength that have led to comparisons with the creator goddess of their world. She was Flamme's master. After having lived in seclusion for a millennium, she appeared to human society suddenly and founded the [[MagicalSociety Continental Magic Association]] around 20 years before Himmel's death. First-class mages get the privilege of meeting her and can ask for any magic they desire.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[MeaningfulName Just look at what her name means in German.]] Despite the fact that her power relies on her empathizing with her opponent to copy their magic, she is a very off-putting person with a vaguely menacing demeanor who nobody feels particularly comfortable around, but she hasn't committed any truly evil acts before the viewer.

* OlderThanTheyLook: He's about the same age as Himmel when he died but looks about 20 years younger than that.
* OldMaster: He is a powerful mage and even capable of winning a fist fight with someone theoretically in their physical prime despite his age. [[spoiler:And after becoming a first-class mage and gaining a certain spell from Serie as a reward, he is able to go toe-to-toe with Macht, a ''very'' strong demon lord, and not only (barely) survives, but even emerges victorious. Granted, he's been preparing and analyzing this fight for close to fifty years, but still.]]

* CannotSpitItOut: Though she acts aloof towards her human disciples, putting up an air that she doesn't have any particular feelings towards them due to them having extremely short lifespans compared to her and rarely reaching her level of power, in truth she has made sure to remember each of them and their likes and dislikes clearly, long after they have died. She herself seems bemused by this, but she has never regretted taking a disciple. She also practices magic she mocks and considers "asinine", such as Frieren's and Flamme's habit of suppressing their mana.

* TimeAbyss: Serie states that she hails from the "Mythical Era", when the Goddess of Creation is said to have walked among humans and provided them the holy texts now used by priests, a time so long ago that even demons, who are themselves LongLived, have completely forgotten it. Indeed she implies she was around before humans had even created any form of civilization. May be downplayed if the ''Mythical Era'' was only 1,500 years ago (as implied in the time travel arc).

* HatesBeingTouched: Her rather touchy-feely new apprentice, Methode, likes giving [[CuddleBug hugs]] and [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead headpats]] to adorable people. Serie, as a young-looking elf, is one of these people, but she doesn't like being touched by Methode at all and Genau limits Methode to ten minutes of touching Serie a day, tops.

* CannotSpitItOut: Though she acts aloof towards her human disciples, putting up an air that she doesn't have any particular feelings towards them due to them having extremely short lifespans compared to her and rarely reaching her level of power, in truth she has made sure to remember each of them and their likes and dislikes clearly, long after they have died. She herself seems bemused by this, but she has never regretted taking a disciple. She also practices magic she mocks and considers "asinine" to far greater heights than those other mages, such as Frieren's and Flamme's habit of suppressing their mana.
