| abstract | - Rorolina "Rorona" Frixell is the main protagonist in Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, and is a supporting character in both Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice 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. She is portrayed as a somewhat childish person, who is easily excitable and clumsy. When she begins practicing alchemy, she struggles, and is frustrated that Astrid doesn't teach her anything about alchemy. Rorona has a big appetite, and has 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.
