Most popular Sousou no Frieren character: Himmel
The fact that Himmel topped the list of Sousou no Frieren's most popular characters did not surprise fans, even though he is not the main character. Himmel is the Hero of the Hero Party who kills the Demon King and restores peace to humanity. He has a cheerful, sociable personality but is sometimes a bit silly. Himmel has the ability to influence people's thoughts and emotions, so he is also considered the center of the group, the factor that binds everyone together.
Himmel is the great Hero of humanity
Throughout his adventure, it is clear that he has feelings for Frieren, but he knows their love will go nowhere because humans have a much shorter lifespan than elves. Because of that, instead of selfishly keeping her by his side, he plays the role of a companion, helping her learn about the world around her. With a warm, sweet and somewhat mischievous guy like Himmel, no one can replace his position in the hearts of fans, right?
Wizard Frieren
Frieren seems quite distant to others. Actually, it's not that she's inherently cold like that, but because she's lived for so long that she's forgotten the concept of time. Therefore, humans only have a few decades of life, which is truly too short for Frieren. She believes that a period of 10 years is still too short to create important connections.
However, after witnessing Himmel's death, she regretted not learning more about humans. So a new adventure for the purpose of understanding humanity begins. You can see that Frieren is actually not as distant as she appears, on the contrary she is quite sensitive, very kind and caring to everyone.

Fern: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Fern is a young Mage who accompanies Frieren as an apprentice. Even though she's just a student, Fern is more like... Frieren's mother. She must help her master with tasks such as: waking him up when Frieren sleeps too deeply, feeding and dressing Frieren, and cleaning up the mess Frieren creates.
Despite her mature personality, Fern also acts very childish when others refuse her request. She will pout and ignore people no matter how hard they try to reconcile. Fern also has a habit of following others when she is suspicious or curious about something about them instead of facing them directly. You can easily see the "judgmental look" when she thinks Frieren made the wrong decisions.
