## Pre-Group History

Her parents Lara and John were rogues. Her father died before she was born. Her mother cared for Freya by herself and it wasn't easy because she was an albino. It was really difficult to get enough food. She always tried to cover her bright fur with dirt or mud. Freya learned how to hunt from her mother. When Freya was 2 years Lara got sick. She became aggressive and got angry whenever Freya did something wrong because she knew that her life will end soon and Lara wanted to teach Freya everything that she knew. One day her mother couldn't get up, she was too sick and weak. Freya tried her best to care for her mother, collected herbs and kept her warm but it didn't help. Lara died a few days later. Freya was alone now for her first time. She tried to survive, She was stealing food from other predators, hunt small animals. She fought with other wolves for a piece of meat.

Weeks passed and Freya was in a bad shape. She arrived at Three lands. Freya had never seen anything so beautiful like the Three lands. It was a paradise the smell of prey was everywhere, she wouldn't starving anymore...

After she settled down, Freya met a male wolf while she was hunting. They became friends and spend much time with each other. The wolf named Navira was in a pack and Freya was a loner. Whenever Navira had something to do for his pack, she collected some herbs and some stuff to decorate her good hidden den. Soon the friendship developed into love. They spend days and nights together but Navira didn't want to leave his pack and Freya didn't want to join the pack. Because of her past, she had a horrible experience to be in a pack but this wasn't a reason to not stay together. One day Freya gave birth to two pups. Amaya and Akela, Amaya was an active and cheeky little female and Akela the weak, careful, and quiet male.

The time has passed, Navira came every day to visit his family and brought food for them or spend some time with them. Everything was fine.

The time came where Navira had to join another pack because he had no other choice. He had more to do in his new pack as a Beta and so he couldn't visit his family so often. Akela was sad to not see his Father and one day he decided to join the pack where his father lived. Freya was sad about it but understood his decision. In the time where Navira lived in the new pack, he changed. He was training Amaya, showed her how to survive, and to fight while Freya showed her shy and quiet son how to care wounds and where he could find herbs. Amaya often came home completely exhausted with wounds but Amaya just smiled at her mother and assured her that she was fine but Freya knew she was not.

One day Navira came to his family and decided it was time to leave this place to find their own pack. So they left everything behind and went into an unknown area.

The time came as they find a pack without an alpha. Navira took the chance and became the new alpha and so Freya was a leader too. It was nice at first. Navira was with his family even he was busy leading his pack. But the harmony didn't stay long, Navira still was training with Amaya too hard for Freyas taste. She talked with Navira about her and he was reacting aggressive and heartless. At this moment she realized that he had changed a lot. Navira became an aggressive and merciless leader, he was yelling a lot and punished members harshly who did a little mistake. Freya knew what to do, leaving the pack with her kids, to find a safer place. But before she could talk with her kids it was too late. As she went outside Navira was argue with his daughter. Freya was shocked as she heard what they were talking about. Amaya wanted to leave the pack but Navira wasn't allowed it. Akela, Freya's son was just like Freya in shock and just could watch them. At the night after the fight between Navira and Amaya, Amaya wanted to leave by night. Freya knew that and was waiting by the exit of the den. Freya was crying to see her Daughter suffer and knew it was the best for her to go. The albino wolf hugged her one last time and told her that she is loving her and to be careful. Freya wanted to join her daughter to leave but she couldn't, her son was still there and she won't leave him with his father.

Two days later Akela was in an argument with Navira. Akela was angry with Navira because it was his fault that Amaya left. Freya went between them and looked angry at Navira, she told him to stop acting like a bully. He wasn't a good alpha, he just works with fear and pain. Navira growled and was attacking Freya, he just sees red in anger. But before Navira could reach Freya, Akela was pushing him away. They started fighting before Freya could stop the fight, Navira already wounded his son badly. Akela yelled in anger at his father, that he will leave as well to follow his sister. He just disappeared through some bushes. Freya wanted to follow him but Navira stopped her and growled. Freya didn't have a chance to follow him. So she was being watched all the time, where ever she went. Freya went into a deep depression, not knowing what happened to her kids and watched by a crazy aggressive dog who once was a gentle, funny, and lovely mate and father.

One day a stranger pack attacked the pack and Freya used the moment to flee. Far away from the pack, Far away from the crazy Navira who destroyed everything she loved. She was walking weeks, soon she lost her sense of time and just walked straight. Hunger and the pain in her heart of losing everything was weakening her body. She was arriving in a new area, everything smells new to her. Where was she...? Will It be her new home...?

## Group History

Weakly, Freya crossed into Riverfell pack lands, where she was found by a Hunter named Bourne. Immediately filled with concern for her, he did his best to bring her food and then help her back to Riverfell to continue healing. She was grateful to him, and managed to make it to Riverfell to be treated and rest. When she awoke, she spoke to Shiloh and was offered a place in the pack, which she accepted.

Familiar with healing plants, Freya decided to become a Rider, to collect key herbs and trade with neighboring packs. She was very good at collecting herbs, developing techniques to carry many at once on her back, using a vine and scrap of bark.

Bourne became one of her early friends, showing her around the territory and, at the Quarter Feast, teaching her a bit about traditional Riverfellian dancing! She appreciated it, because at night, she would be haunted by memories of her past, which filled her with sorrow and fear. Other events at the Quarter Feast were enjoyed by her as well, like singing with Morgan, and chatting with Rocko.

Around that time, she first met Howl.

A tall, handsome, dark wolf, he intimidated her a bit at first, but she was also drawn to him. He was so responsible, and respectable, and serious. She would slowly develop feelings for him as she spent more time in the pack. Because he was a Gold Feather, and she was a Rider, their duties often overlapped when she had to travel to trading posts.

And he would also be responsible for saving her life, when a Beta from her old pack tracked her down and attacked, with all intents to kill her. She managed to run, but he caught up with her, and would have been killed if Howl hadn't leapt in.

More time had to be spent in the Sages' den, but she recovered soon enough, and by winter, was back at her duties. She often went to trading posts, bringing with her wolves like Sheranee and Rocko for protection. She took it upon herself, as one of the highest-ranking Riders, to organize the apprentices for their duties and give Shiloh updates about trades and other news around the territory. She also tried to make sure her packmates got enough food, distributing meals to them throughout the Deep Freeze if she noticed they'd missed a meal.

The Deep Freeze took a toll on the pack, though. Wolves were hungry and on edge, and with extreme cold and blizzards, travel was difficult. Freya was called upon to help Deonte, Lynx, and Orsu find their missing packmate, Yulian. Unfortunately, they couldn't find her, only signs that she had lost blood.

Despite the tragedy of Yulian's loss, pack life continued. The Deep Freeze ended and spring arrived. At the spring Quarter Feast, Freya enjoyed sharing a meal with Ruby, who'd been the one to treat her when she was injured. The two she-wolves got along famously!

When she wasn't trading, Freya helped her packmates with hunts when she could, and she, Josephine, Ricci, and Dracarys attempted to fell a horse, for some unique meat and pelts to trade. She would also meet her familiar, a jackdaw named Blue, around this time! She also met a loner named Nanuk, though the meeting was a touch tense at first!

All the while, though, she found herself thinking about Howl, and the feelings she had for him. Dare she share the information? She'd kept it hidden for awhile, but took the daring step to confess that she had feelings for Howl. Howl gently informed her that he didn't share the feelings - that he was a Gold Feather, essentially married to his job. This broke her heart, but Freya understood, and left Howl to his duties.

In the autumn, Freya enjoyed walks with Deonte. She liked to tease him about what Sheranee said to him about his graying fur, and it was a nice distraction from the growing threat of the Hive beyond the borders.

Unfortunately, the Hive would not remain beyond the borders forever.

On one particularly terrifying occasion, while out foraging, Freya was nearly caught by a Hive wolf, and only managed to avoid it by hiding under some undergrowth, with her scent disguised. Fortunately, her white fur helped blend into the snow around her, and the wolf seemed to have other things on its mind. She waited until she was certain it was gone, before she hurried back to Riverfell to report it.
