How to put it together
- 1
Put on the black thigh-high socks or tights first.
- 2
Slip on the white long-sleeved tunic dress and secure the wide black belt around your waist.
- 3
Drape the white capelet over your shoulders, fastening it securely at the collar.
- 4
Apply the prosthetic elf ears over your natural ears, blending the edges with skin-tone makeup if needed.
- 5
Put on the red teardrop earrings, ensuring they hang visibly below your hair.
- 6
Put on the styled white twin-tail wig, adjusting the bangs and securing it with bobby pins.
- 7
Complete the look by carrying the red-gemmed mage staff as your primary prop.
Makeup & hair
Style a white or very light silver wig into low, long twin tails secured with simple hair ties, leaving straight bangs framing the face. Keep makeup minimal and natural, focusing on a flawless matte complexion and a soft, neutral lip color to match her youthful, stoic expression.
Frieren for couples, groups, kids & more
- couples

Tips
- Use spirit gum or eyelash glue to keep the latex elf ears securely attached to your skin all day.
- If using a wig, use a wig cap and bobby pins to keep your natural hair completely hidden and flat.
- Opt for comfortable brown or black boots, as Frieren does a lot of walking on her journeys.
- Keep the staff lightweight by using foam or hollow plastic for the top piece so it is easy to carry at conventions.
Did you know? Frieren's name means 'to freeze' or 'to feel cold' in German, which perfectly mirrors her initially detached and stoic personality.
