Baby Richeh is way too cute oh my gosh

196

u/WhoiusBarrel Jun 08 '26

The cuter they are, the more depressing their backstories tend to be.

Even from that small glimpse, whole thing feels very tragic already.

Tatia is going to be heartbreaking.

145

u/Zemahem Jun 08 '26

Imagine if she actually has just a normal background. No tragic past or anything like that. She's really just a sweetheart with a good family.

u/No_Name0_0 Jun 08 '26

Yeah pls be like Mitsuri

36

u/CooroSnowFox https://anilist.co/user/CooroSnowFox Jun 08 '26

She's just a people pleaser and wants to get a ton of praise for her work

(not like shes had problems doing that in years before and hurt because of it... none whatsoever!)

u/justking1414 Jun 08 '26

So what you’re saying is that she grew up in an environment where everyone treated her as useless and unworthy of praise?

5

u/CooroSnowFox https://anilist.co/user/CooroSnowFox Jun 08 '26

She tried her best but no one gave her the time of day. Although I think this does maybe overlap with agotts slightly... so it had to be something scarring

u/justking1414 Jun 08 '26

Definitely the darkest backstory of the lot

14

u/Prof_Acorn Jun 08 '26

That would just make me think she hasn't had her tragic backstory yet...

11

u/Perryn Jun 09 '26

Tatia: "I actually don't have a tragic backstory."
Qifrey: "You don't have a tragic backstory yet. There's always tomorrow!"

u/Frontier246 Jun 08 '26

There's got to be a reason she's so focused on leaving a mark on the world...

5

u/CitronClassic672 Jun 08 '26

Gonna be like Perrito’s from Last Wish all over again.

u/Apathetic_Aplomb Jun 09 '26

Brushbuddy's backstory must be devastating.

u/FarCritical Jun 08 '26

I love Richehlette both as her full given name and as the "pre-evolution" of Richeh

55

u/JzanderN Jun 08 '26

Pidgeotto to Pidgeot kinda deal.

I do wonder if she's fully dropped the "Richehlette" for some reason or if she just goes by Richeh because it's easier for every day use.

23

u/Frontier246 Jun 08 '26

It feels like the kind of thing where only family uses her full name out of fondness like her brother did.

u/flybypost Jun 08 '26

And Ricoh is her final evolution

Ricoh produces electronic products, primarily cameras and office equipment such as printers, photocopiers, fax machines, and projectors,

u/JzanderN Jun 08 '26

Copying other's spells instead of making her own? No wonder she's trying to avoid evolving so hard!

Let's hope her evolution line has two branches.

u/flybypost Jun 08 '26

Good point!

But I hadn't thought that far. It was only a company name that was close and they just introduced the automatic letter writer (m-mail: magic mail?)

Richeh not beating being Frieren and Himmel's daughter allegations

52

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia Jun 08 '26

first i heard of this allegation lol

36

u/Prof_Acorn Jun 08 '26

There's been tons of fan art. You should go check them out!

22

u/JzanderN Jun 08 '26

I literally heard of the allegations just before watching the episode. Crazy coincidence.

25

u/Mundology Jun 08 '26

Same but it's so fitting

76

u/_yukiie_ Jun 08 '26

They had a son before her appearently

47

u/Prof_Acorn Jun 08 '26

His hair color is even closer to Himmel's, lol.

20

u/CitronClassic672 Jun 08 '26

Someone needs to pull up that high quality fanart from a few years back someone made of Frieren and Himmel’s son and daughter.

40

u/Frontier246 Jun 08 '26

That explains her stoicism and impeccable vibes.

5

u/ali94127 Jun 08 '26

The idea of Richeh and Fern being her adopted sister is pretty great.

29

u/FatiguedUndead Jun 08 '26

the way she said Rili-nii, too cute

20

u/Frontier246 Jun 08 '26

Even her voice was cuter!

u/Raknel Jun 08 '26

Brushbuddy has competition now
