## Biography

### Background

Born on Pyke, Freya's time on the Iron Islands was short-lived, as she was taken as a ward (and hostage) by Aeric Targaryen after her family's execution in the Ironborn Rebellion. In King's Landing, Freya kept very much to herself, interacting with the Targaryen's only when necessary.

### *The Reign of Dragons*

Freya is seen observing the return of Maelor Targaryen in the throne room of the Red Keep. She is curious as to why Maelor is welcomed so warmly, and also why he left in the first place. She is later seen in the Royal Sept with the rest of the nobles in the Red Keep, and is questioned later by Maelor about the current situation between Houses Hightower and Tully. She is in the harbour with Maelor when Rayn Greyjoy returns, despite being long-presumed as dead. After a tense stand-off between Rayn and Maelor, Freya boards the Leviathan to return to the Iron Islands. Once away from King's Landing, Freya nearly argues with her estranged brother, beginning to silently compare him to Maelor. She very nearly introduces herself to an old man after stepping foot on the docks of Lordsport, but Rayn sends her searching for some horses they can ride to Pyke. Returning to the ruins of her ancestral home, She and Rayn then discover that several men of House Wynch have been squatting on the premises. She requests that they swear oaths of fealty, revealing a decree from King Aeric which confirms her legitimacy, only to be immediately belittled for her troubles. After Rayn has dealt with all of them save for their leader, he attempts to talk Freya into killing a man who disrespected her earlier in the conversation but ends up doing it himself when she is unable to. Less than a week later, Freya is summoned to attend a meeting by Rayn, wherein she is brought face-to-face with her maternal uncle Dagon and natural cousin Kata, the former having not seen her since she was an infant and the latter having never met her at all. Following an overview from Dagon concerning what's been transpiring on the Iron Islands in his absence, Rayn and his men as well as Kata leave to dig up the Seastone Chair. Now alone with her uncle, a short conversation about their family ensues, ending off with Dagon imparting a piece of hard-earned wisdom upon her.

## Personality

Amidst the brooding and anger in the Red Keep, Freyja is naturally upbeat and sarcastic. Freyja has made her peace with the fact her parents and House were reavers. There is nothing Freya hates more than being stereotyped as a barbarian, hence she is careful to use her manners and be polite. Freyja becomes distraught when put into stressful situations, appearing spineless and incompetent to foes and allies alike. During a crisis, she is swift to panic and may accidentally make matters worse in the face of imminent danger, leaving herself vulnerable. She is shown to be very observant, and has grown accustomed to staying in the background. Moreover, despite her fear at Maelor Targaryen's mere presence, Freya is shown to be very in control of herself, and is able to seem agreeable, compliant and cool-headed.
