Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It could, but people could also see it as an example of the 3000 year old loli trope. So it may not be a good example.

She's a 1000 year old adult. At no point is she ever portrayed as anything remotely childlike.
It honestly fucking sucks that just because this trope exists elsewhere, a show like Frieren can't tell a serious story about what it's like to outlive everyone around you without being mistaken for this trope.
You could see her as that trope, but I really don't think she fits the "loli" description. Lord knows I'm not about to google "loli" to check how closely she resembles one, but I'm pretty sure she's a rare example of an actually short woman
