Rorolina Frixell

Rorolina "Rorona" Frixell is the main protagonist in Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, and is a supporting character in Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland, Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland and Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland. Rorona is a world famous alchemist known all across Arland. The genius alchemist Astrid Zexis once helped her family through a deadly illness. Years later, Rorona has become Astrid's student in order to pay Astrid back for the kindness that she once showed Rorona and her family. Rorona grew up in Arland with her parents, and is the childhood friend of Cordelia and Iksel. She is portrayed as a somewhat childish person, who is easily excitable and clumsy. She struggles when she begins practicing alchemy, and is frustrated that Astrid doesn't help her learn. Rorona has a big appetite, and a seemingly bottomless stomach. Pie making is her number one hobby, and she dreams of one day opening up a pie shop, but she keeps her ambitions a secret, after Astrid forbids her from baking pies. As Rorona grows up, her alchemy skills improve, and she starts to travel around Arland. She begins teaching others how to do alchemy, although she's self-conscious about her teaching skills. She's very proud when she teaches Totori how to successfully synthesize something, and claims Totori as her first successful student. She even becomes successful enough to create a Chim. Although she's aged, Rorona still remains very childish, and is enjoying her freedom to travel around Arland, taking some free time away from the workshop. She loves anything cute, and likes to give everybody she meets a "cute" nickname, although most people don't appreciate it. Prior to the events in Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland, Rorona adopted Lulua as her daughter.
