Scharf

Towering height marks Scharf, a young man of unusually tall build. His black hair is cropped and combed back save for one thin strand left long down the right of his face. A white coat with black cuffs forms his outfit, crossed by a belt that runs over both shoulders and across his midriff.

Reserved and even-tempered, Scharf rarely talks to anyone beyond his own group, content to let Wirbel take charge. That composure cracks whenever he is knocked out of a fight, though, and he wells up with tears and sinks into open dejection, as happened against Land and again facing Denken's clone.

In the exam's opening stage, Scharf's team ambushes Fern's group to steal their Stille, and he duels Land, opening a deep gash in Land's shoulder with his petal magic, Jubelade, which hardens flower petals into cutting steel. Land judges him self-taught and shaky on the basics, and one of Land's duplicates slips behind Scharf to paralyze him just as he threatens to behead the original. Left helpless, he tearfully begs Wirbel to carry him off the field, drawing only an exasperated order to stop crying. The trio still advances after capturing a Stille that Wirbel binds. Between stages, Scharf and Wirbel borrow Stark from Fern as a vanguard for a subjugation job, then leave the warrior to fight alone while they read a letter from Sense, afterward sharing the boar's meat with him.

For the dungeon stage, Wirbel declines to ally with strangers and brings Scharf along, with Ehre trailing after. When the water-mirror demon Spiegel spawns duplicates of each of them, Wirbel directs Scharf to blind the copies with petals and handle Wirbel's own clone while Ehre and Wirbel take the others, and the team comes through unharmed. They then agree to help Methode against Denken's clone, and the fight closes once Frieren destroys the Spiegel, leaving an immobilized Scharf to be floated along by Wirbel's magic.

In the final stage, Serie washes him out at once, apparently for flinching at her mana, and a downcast Scharf is consoled by Wirbel before the three friends head north together to the imperial capital's port. Later, resting at an inn during their continued travels, they enjoy a cheerful evening with Stark, then part ways with Frieren's group and take the road toward the Neutral Harbor.
