**Freya Mikaelson** (***Elder Futhark:** ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ*) is a powerful witch and a supporting character in the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons of *Teen Wolf*. Freya is the firstborn child of Mikael and Esther, the elder sister of Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik, the maternal older half-sister of Klaus. She is the paternal aunt of Klaus and Hayley's daughter, Hope. She is the bereaved mother of her and with Mathias' unborn son. Freya is the wife of Keelin and the mother of their son, Nik. She is also the adoptive aunt to Rebekah and Marcel's daughters Lizzie, Josie, and Selena.

Esther told Mikael that Freya had died of the plague while he was off hunting, when in fact her aunt Dahlia took her as payment for performing a fertility spell using Dark Magic that would allow Esther to have children. Dahlia allowed Freya to live planning to use her to brand a new form of power which she would absorb from the powerful Freya, casting a spell on her that causes her to hibernate for a hundred years to preserve her youth and to only age for a year upon awakening which is also presumably what Dahlia has done to preserve herself as well. Freya escaped from under Dahlia's wing and fled from her powerful aunt.

Centuries later, desperate to find out more about her family, she traveled to New Orleans in 1914 where she attended a Christmas party thrown by her siblings. Attending as her brother, Kol's date, she was witness to Klaus' cruelty when he staked Kol in front of the entire party. Freya then puts herself in a glass coffin in the Dowager Fauline Cottage where she then repeated her hibernation cycle until awaking December 31, 2012.

Entering a deep sleep that lasted a century, she awoke 100 years later where she discovered that her sister, Rebekah, had been imprisoned in the Asylum in the body of a young witch. Posing as an inmate, she witnessed Rebekah's confrontations with the Kindred and Cassie's betrayal. Using her magic, Freya saved Rebekah from the Kindred and broke the spell on the Asylum, freeing herself and Rebekah.

When Freya reunites with her brother Finn, he informs her of Hope's life, which inspires Freya (who wishes to take revenge against Dahlia for the deaths of her lover and son) to kill Dahlia in protection of her niece. In the end of hard long magical struggle (resulting in the death of both her parents), Freya and her younger siblings finally managed to defeat Dahlia, with Freya's finally winning her younger brothers trusts (especially Niklaus), and moving into their house as Hope's caretaker and an official Mikaelson sibling.

After a few months of peace in the supernatural community in New Orleans, trouble started again with the arrival of Lucien Castle, Klaus' first progeny, and his warnings of war between the sirelines, and so, Freya's enormous magical powers were needed again to protect her family from harm.

After the completion of the prophecy foretelling the downfall of her family, it seemed as though the entire family was going to die. She was poisoned, her brothers bitten by Marcel, and Rebekah hexed. Seeing no other choice in saving her family, Freya used Klaus as an anchor to a spell similar to the one Dahlia had cast on her to keep her breathing for a thousand years. Freya also created a Chambre de Chasse as a way to allow her family to be together whilst waiting for Hayley to find cures for all of them.

**Freya** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family** and an unnamed **witch family**.

## Personality

As a child, Freya was mischievous as she and Finn would climb up in the trees and plot mischief.

Freya has exhibited an independent, tenacious, rebellious streak, as she fled from her monstrous Aunt Dahlia centuries before and has been fighting, running from her for years ever since. She has a very stoic personality, keeping a calm, difficult to read, expression at near all times. Freya has shown to be a curious person, having wondered about her siblings, the Mikaelsons, for some time. Upon meeting them but having lived in contempt of her aunt Dahlia for the abuse and terror she endured at Dahlia's hands and for her mother Esther for abandoning her. When she learned that Klaus had a child, the only sign of her shock was to grab hold of her necklace. Likewise, she showed little surprise upon seeing Finn's new form, and remained calm even while reminiscing about old times, and telling him of Dahlia's hunt for her.

Freya is tough, independent, she is a skilled actress, having convinced everyone in the Cottage that she was like any other inmate, but in truth, she is a strong, powerful woman and witch who is very much in control of herself. Upon finally meeting and introducing herself to her family, Freya seemingly has a firm sense of honor, as she killed Cassie for betraying Rebekah to the Kindred. She has a fondness for her little sister and approves of who she is, having observed her throughout her stay in the Cottage and when Rebekah was in danger, Freya showed no hesitation in protecting her. She has also shown a fondness for Finn, as he was the next of the Mikaelson clan she visited. She seems to have some nostalgia for him, as she embraced him upon meeting. Upon meeting Klaus and Elijah, she expected, humored their caution, suspicion (abrasiveness in Klaus' case) but warned Rebekah she'll be expecting that they would be on their best behavior. This shows that she has a sense of authority, being the eldest of the Mikaelson children.

Freya seemingly has a degree of morality as she sealed Finn's spirit into her pendant so that he wouldn't lay a hand on Hope, believing that he would not resort to threatening an infant, though she did perform a powerful locator spell to find her in a gambit to earn her siblings' trust. She is very fond of her father and has never forgotten the last time she saw him, patiently awaiting the moment she reunites with Mikael. However, she has significant disdain for Esther, as she resents her mother for giving her away and blames Esther for destroying her and her siblings. This hatred only worsened when Esther claimed that Freya lost the light within her and accused her of working with Dahlia.

Upon revealing her background, Freya is a haunted, tortured soul longing to free herself of the bonds that Dahlia cast upon her and attain vengeance for the misery that she dealt with century after century. Having lost the man she loves and her beloved unborn son in Dahlia's pursuit of ultimate power, she allies with her estranged siblings in the hopes of vanquishing her aunt once and for all.

The damage that Freya suffered caused her to become a methodical and cunning individual, using the spell to save Rebekah as an opportunity to reach into Klaus's mind and learn his secrets. However, she showed little interest in what secrets were in her brother's mind, casually brushing them off as of little use to her. She even accepted the fact that Klaus will never trust her and instead opts to turn their siblings against him one by one and killed Esther in vengeance for abandoning her and to make sure Klaus doesn't find out.

Dahlia's return brought out the fear in Freya and she appealed to her siblings to help her save Mikael and Klaus from her aunt's wrath. Then, we see Freya in utter anguish and heartbreak as Klaus kills Mikael so his ashes could be used as a weapon to murder Dahlia. She held this against Klaus so much that she gave an ultimatum to Elijah and Rebekah to either side with her or lose her if they choose their half-brother. Freya's desperation became clear when she resolved to use Hope as bait against Dahlia, something that made her family question her motives.

Though she was forced into becoming the bait to lure Dahlia into a trap, Freya took it with her head held high. She explained that her actions were due to jealousy of Hope for having people who would go to extreme lengths to protect her and Freya not knowing what it is like. She willingly goes along with Elijah's plan, happy to have known what having a family is like for a brief moment rather than spending an eternity running and in solitude.

She had a disparaging view of Klaus, questioning why Rebekah would still defend him after he joined Dahlia in the pursuit of Hope. However, when faced with the prospect of having to kill her younger brother to end Dahlia, she admitted that she doesn't want to and that Klaus was the family she always wanted but because of Dahlia she'll be forever alone. In the end, she chose to remain by Klaus's side to care for Hope while giving Rebekah the opportunity she had only regained recently - the chance to choose her own fate.

Over the past 6 months, in the light of Dahlia's defeat, Freya has integrated herself with the family, and they with her. She has taken an active role in caring for Hope and grown fond of her niece, delighted at how quickly Hope has grown. She also does her best to keep Klaus and Elijah in line whenever they quarrel.

Freya wastes no time in enjoying the freedom she has found after eliminating the threat of her aunt, Dahlia. She spends her night off partying at Rousseau's, dancing on the bar table and downing a couple of drinks. Her party-going and promiscuous tendencies are her way of coping with the increasing tensions in her family.

Freya has also shown a capacity for concern to those not of her blood, as she held Jackson back from interfering in the squabble between Hayley and Klaus. She openly grieved when she learned of Jackson's death. With tears in her eyes, she couldn't even look at his heart when she received it from a compelled tourist along with Tristan's letter. Freya later proved to be capable of caring quite deeply about others outside her family as she constantly feared for the safety of Keelin and attempted to keep her at arm's length and away from the hostile situation that the Mikaelsons found themselves in.

Freya has been seen to be reliable, determined, and fierce whenever things get difficult for her and her family. She is not above taking the initiative of handling things her way and would silence those who would oppose her, as she did with Lucien. She is also one of the more reasonable Mikaelsons, as she went behind Klaus' back by releasing Cami and having her join in on the plan that eventually neutralized Tristan de Martel, also showing her capacity for laying out successful strategies.

She has also proven to be stubborn, as her sole motive was to save her family even when she knew that would put someone else in danger. She took Davina down because she saw it as the only way to save her family, despite the consequences. Freya has shown she can be just as manipulative and cruel as Klaus in order to protect the ones she loves, even at a high price.

Freya's kind and family-oriented personality are widely displayed when she, even when weakened due to being previously poisoned, cast a pseudo-immortality spell on the rest of her siblings while using her half-brother as the anchor. In addition to that, she created a Chambre de Chasse so that all of the slumbering Mikaelsons would be together awaiting Hayley to come back with cures for her daughter's family. However, like Elijah, Freya's loyalty to her family supersedes all as she is more than willing to hurt or sacrifice others to save her family, despite the many lifetimes the Mikaelsons have gotten to live.

Ultimately Freya has an almost black and white view of things, especially when it comes to those she views as enemies, not caring about reasons, motives or how grey the situation actually is, for example, while Cassie did betray Rebekah, she was broken and traumatized by her possession at the hands of Esther and thus not of sound mind. Another example is Marcel, who had his reasons for going up against the Mikaelsons and despite eventually allowing them to leave unharmed and with no intention of coming after them, Freya still wanted him dead simply for existing as a potential threat and created a dagger specifically to kill him.

## Physical Appearance

Freya, as a child, had curly blonde hair and green eyes. When she appeared in the Abattoir for the Christmas party in 1914, she is a very beautiful young woman of high stature and a slender build, carrying herself with grace and tact. As she slept for 100 years, she would appear to Rebekah as a girl wearing a black dress and her long, dirty blonde hair covering her face with a peculiar necklace in her hands. Upon waking up, she was seen wearing clothes like any other female inmate of the cottage, messy and unkempt. She tied her hair into a braid while letting her side bangs frame her face.

Not long after she escaped the Cottage, Freya's look changed drastically. She appeared to Finn in more modern, darker clothing and wearing make-up. She has let her long dirty blonde hair flow freely and has her pendant around her neck. 6 months after ending the threat of Dahlia, Freya's hair had been cut to shoulder length.

## Powers and Abilities

Since the death of Dahlia, Freya has had many of her spells and rituals result in failure, implying that the colossal amounts of power she previously possessed disappeared with Dahlia's death as prior to Dahlia's death she had succeeded in most if not all the spells she had cast, though this has not been stated. Her pseudo-immortality was also reversed with Dahlia's death as was confirmed on several occasions and with it, the Slumber Spell. It is, however, possible that Freya still has her massive power though is unable to use it to its full extent, this is due to the possibility of over-exhaustion due to her newly-gained mortality. Neither has been confirmed, though Freya is still able to channel large amounts of power, such as channeling her siblings.

Despite this, Freya was still seen to exhibit magical feats that put her very much ahead of conventional witches. Freya cast a spell that allowed her to send her letter to her younger sister, Rebekah, something a number of witches in the past had done, however, she did it by reaching out to the magic she possessed while possessing Eva. This variant is unique as it did not use fire as a medium but, instead, it makes the letter vanish into thin air.

Freya has shown the ability to not only astral project within the same city, but to also to very distant locations. She displayed this after performing a locator spell on Rebekah, and then visiting her in astral from New Orleans to Africa. In the same episode, the eldest Mikaelson sibling cast a spell (while in astral form) that simultaneously snapped the necks of all vampires surrounding her, proving she is a force to be reckoned with. Later on, Freya tried to cast an offensive spell on Aya, but was countered by the Moroccan Witch who telekinetically pushed Freya and sent her back to her body in New Orleans. It seemed that Freya couldn't save her sister simply because the Moroccan witch had the element of surprise, which ensured she was the only witch who's power could work in that specific environment.

Her pain infliction spells are more than powerful enough to give Aurora, a thousand-year-old vampire, major headaches, even though Aurora has built an immunity towards pain infliction due to her stay in the Buddhist monastery. This kind of spell also proved to be quite useful in her many encounters with a number of Strix vampires.

Given her instructions under Dahlia, Freya has shown more knowledge in magical affairs when she revealed that a mixture of hibiscus and mugwort is able to counteract any vervain in a person's system. This was confirmed on Tristan who had been consuming vervain for a long time and was immune to any kind of compulsion from an Original. With such a concoction, she made sure that Elijah would be able to compel his progeny without any obstacles, even casting a boundary spell on him to would prevent him from leaving. Freya's knowledge of magic is very extensive, that is effective in aiding her siblings, such as Rebekah, as she attempted to remove the curse put on her with the cursed stake, though she was severely weakened with a special poison from the Strix. With the help of her brother, by channeling Finn's power, using the stake's reversal spell inscribed on the blade, she was able to remove the curse, though it proved to temporary.

Despite her prowess, Freya has easily been overpowered and defeated by witches who have had less than a thousand years of experience than she does, like Alexis (who was a Seer and saw her coming, though), the Moroccan Witch, affiliated with the Strix, and Vincent Griffith, the Regent of the New Orleans witch community. However, she was almost killed by two members of the Strix, lesser vampires than the original vampires and the original hybrid, if it had not been for the intervention of Jackson, she also was unable to locate Rebekah's exact location even while using Elijah's blood.

Despite her talents with spells and rituals, many of Freya's locator spells have resulted in failure, such as searching for Rebekah, Aurora and Camille, all cloaked by the powerful witches in their own right; the Moroccan Witch, Madison, and Vincent (as Regent) respectively. Seemingly this is due to a lack in power as, while channeling powerful sources, she's been able to accomplish powerful spells, one such example being when she channeled Lucien in order to forcefully project herself into the Chambre de Chasse created by the Sisters. Once inside the Chambre, she was able to destroy the totems that bound them there. Freya, with Kol's guidance, was able to cast a spell that located all of Klaus' enemies around the world and tracked their movements, which allowed them to learn that Klaus is being hunted. In response to this, Freya enlisted Kol's help once more to cast a spell that masked Klaus' presence, making anyone looking for him think that he was still in New Orleans.

Another unique feat, she was able to create a barrier between her and Lucien, the newly turned Beast, in order to Finn, Elijah, Vincent, and Matt. Unlike other boundary spells, this was a non-verbal variant that did not use sigils or the bounds of a room to enact, just a hand sign. Later, created a sigil that allowed her to bind, weaken, and inflict excruciating pain (as to boil the blood) on Lucien Castle. While restrained she attempted to cast a spell to rip out his heart however, both spells failed due to the intervention of the Ancestors.
In an attempt to rescue and resurrect Davina, Freya summoned Davina's spirit and bound it to the mortal plane while using a Hand of Glory and channeling Elijah. In order to obtain the magic she needed to reverse the spell that created Lucien, she forcefully channeled Davina in order to tap into the collective ancestral magic of the Ancestors. This spell, however, came at the expense of breaking the boundary that held Davina's spirit, as she served as the connection between the Ancestors and Freya. With this additional, yet stolen magic, she was able to reverse the spell that turned Lucien into the Beast, thus turning him back into an ordinary vampire again. Later, before the ancestral magic dissipated from her, she channeled Alexis' remains in order to re-forecast her prophecy about the Beast. While doing so, she remarked that she barely understood her power and that, even her augmented magic, she was overwhelmed; she claimed that there were too many pieces of the vision and they would fade whenever she got close to something. With Elijah's help, she was able to channel the full prophecy as well as share the vision with him.
Freya, looking for a way to save her family quickly and uniquely, adapts two ancient spells to save her siblings. In order for her spell to work, she utilized Esther's linking spell, binding each sibling, including herself, to Klaus, while she replicated her Aunt Dahlia's immortality slumber spell. She also took a page from Finn's spell book and drew everyone, save Klaus, into a Chambre de Chasse, so that they could be a family while slumbering, in order to escape death (while Klaus lived and suffered). That was the only way to save herself and the others until Hayley found a cure for their ailments. The slumber spell acts as a protection against all forms of harm; therefore, Elijah and Kol would not die from Marcel's bite, Freya would not succumb to a fatal toxin and Rebekah would not suffer from the insanity hex.

After being awakened from her five-year-long slumber, she continued to perform noteworthy feats of channeling magic. Using her own power, augmented through the use of five dark objects, she managed to create two doses of anti-venom, with the venom from the seven werewolf packs and Klaus' blood, to counteract Marcel's Beast Venom. While her magic was amplified she performed one of the most powerful uses of Pain infliction where she impaired a vampire's ability to heal to the point where it fatally wounded him. Another instance was when she attempted to deconstruct Vincent's spell or to breach it with brute magical strength, she chose the latter by channeling Hayley. She managed to temporarily breach the boundary spell, for mere moments and freed her brother. She continues to excel with channeling as utilized a totem representing the Hollow, in order to channel it and find out what the Hollow was planning to do with her brother and Marcel. Again, she would channel Elijah to break a powerful boundary spell, that with her first attempt was unable to break on her own. This continues to show the stark contrast to her magical strength as from when she was linked to Dahlia as she could not outright destroy this spell, like she did on the boundary spell placed on the dowager's mansion.

Freya also continues to demonstrate her prowess in locator spells and, though she could not pinpoint him outside the city of New Orleans, could still sense Klaus' presence. Freya continues to showcase her in-depth knowledge of magic as she was able to develop an enchantment capable of killing Marcel by combining her blood, Esther's magic, Marcel's venom and Lucien Castle's ashes. She is also well versed in "old magic", as stated by Dominic, when she linked a boundary spell to the beat of her heart. Freya casts an illusion spell on Josh and, unlike the previous spell she and Vincent performed, this glamour spell was physically harmful as the spell took effect. She also devised an intricate spell to disempower and to bind Dominic to a small location in order to torture and gain information from him, going as far to break his protection spells and access his mind. She also uniquely used telekinesis to cause cardiac arrest on Dominic (something that proved to be a reversal of fortune). After her temporary death, she used representational magic to reestablish a protection spell around the Abattoir, ensuring that if she died, the spell could persist.

As the Hollow began to sacrifice Elijah, Freya attempted to call his spirit into her Talisman, like she previously did for Finn. However, during the magical struggle, the Hollow's magic began to block Freya's spell and in the process caused her Talisman (and Elijah's mind, his spirit which was successfully saved) to shatter. With his mind fractured, she devised a spell from her mother's Mind Breaching Spell that allowed her to enter the Talisman and Elijah's mind in an attempt to find and heal his mind. However, maintaining the spell and searching for Elijah proved to be too much of a strain and she lost hold of the spell. By channeling Hope she sent Hayley into Elijah's mind, and later sent Hope, and together, they managed to locate Elijah in his memories and, with Hope, restored his mind and her talisman.

Freya appears to have a wide range of knowledge over many types of magic (i.e. Dark and Sacrificial) and practices (i.e. Representational), both old and conventional forms. She was able to immediately recognize the Hollow's Bone-Bound Boundary spell and knew how to counter it. Freya also recognized that the Hollow was utilizing a totem that augmented her power, mentioning that Dahlia had used them as well when she was up to something particularly awful. Despite the spell she cast to repair Elijah's mind and to restore her talisman, it soon thereafter began to crack. Freya tells Klaus and Hayley that he needed to be resurrected that night, otherwise, they would lose him forever. She channeled the death of the Hollow, as well as Klaus, and successfully healed and resurrected Elijah, his soul returning to his Original body; healed completely of the poison from the enchanted thornbush.

Despite her wide range of knowledge and access to her mother's grimoire collection, she was unable to find a loophole to Vincent plan of separating the Hollow into her immortal siblings. As Vincent's spell ultimately worked, she remains adamant in remaining in New Orleans studying the Hollow's magic, searching for a way to reunite her siblings.

## Weaknesses

Freya was a pseudo-immortal witch, twice, when she was linked to her Aunt Dahlia and recently to Klaus. After Dahlia's death, Freya lost her pseudo-immortality and had the typical weaknesses of a witch. Following the current events in the lives of her family, she was linked to her half-brother, Klaus, the anchor to her spell. Upon her awakening, the spell has been broken and again possesses all the standard weaknesses of a witch.
