In this article, we will share information about Kanne from "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", one of the First-Class Mage Exam candidates. We'll cover everything from her basic profile and personality to her abilities and exam results.
"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" follows Frieren, an elven mage who was part of the hero Himmel's party that defeated the Demon King, as she embarks on a journey to understand human hearts and encounters the feelings of many people along the way.
The first season of the anime aired in 2023, with the second season scheduled to begin in January 2026. Online streaming is available in Crunchyroll.
Kanne
A third-class mage taking the first-class mage examination. Though timid, she's hardworking and kind-hearted. She's childhood friends with Lawine and attended the same magic school. Her specialty magic is "Reamstroha" (Water Manipulation Magic).
Water Manipulation Magic
Kanne ends up in the same party as Frieren during the first test. While she's timid, she's also hardworking and kind-hearted. Though she frequently quarrels with her childhood friend Lawine, she gets along well with her despite—or perhaps because of—Lawine's rough but encouraging nature.
Her magical abilities aren't particularly strong compared to other examinees, and she struggles with mana detection. However, her specialty "Reamstroha" (Water Manipulation Magic) demonstrates maximum power during rainfall. In the first test, she even managed to quickly defeat a superior mage (Richter).
According to Kanne, bodies of water like ponds and lakes are difficult to manipulate without pre-infusing them with mana because concentrated water doesn't conduct magical power well. In contrast, dispersed water like rain can be manipulated immediately, even in large quantities.
Since she cannot generate water itself, her weakness is that her abilities vary greatly depending on whether water is available in the environment.
What Were Her First-Class Mage Exam Results?
After working together with her party to pass the first test and successfully completing the second test as well, Kanne was unfortunately declared unsuccessful during the third test, Série's interview.
She became frightened in the face of Série's overwhelming magical power, and Série saw through the fact that Kanne couldn't envision herself as a first-class mage.
