Anime elves is all the same
Is that racist?
White people get really mad when I say I can't tell them apart, so gotta assume it's not very nice.
Thats what everyone keeps saying.
You mean to tell me that wasn't Deedlit?
Dont worry. Anime elves is all the same :)
not the same character, but they DO have the same driving internal conflict tho
I've got to disagree with that to an extent: Marcielle is young and driven by a fear of inevitable loss and with the plot being spoiler* whereas Frieren is a traumatized genocide survivor, dealing with a sort of depression and inertia from being a hermit/sleeper agent for nearly a thousand years, and so disassociated from life in general that she doesn't really understand the passage of time anymore with her driving plot being a gradual recovery from that.
* manga spoilers
that she's ultimately backed into a corner and driven to accept a faustian bargain with the eldritch horror wish magic demon that all the neat dungeon ecology stuff got retconned away with.
They are sort of two sides to the same problem, though, Marcielle knowing that she will experience loss after loss in the future and being driven to try to stop that, and Frieren just being used to it so that even though it bothers her it's just kind of normal.
i mean yeah but it's the same driving internal thing imo. it's expressed very differently, but angst over experiencing the passage of time so differently from shorter lived races is central to both their characters
