BIO
Born to a well-known family of traders and seafarers, Freya is the daughter of Espen Gormsson and Greta Harvardottir. Their family business grew as the years went on, developing and evolving much like Hedeby itself. It’s trade and commerce developed to such an extent that even small families like theirs had access to markets and fairs alike. Whilst international trade had always been present, the improvements in transportation and routes meant that they were able to trade successfully in fur, honey, wool, wood, leather, amber, iron and bone. Their business flourished, as did their wealth. But with success came downfall.
In accordance with her family’s background, Freya was groomed to follow in their footsteps. She was a skilled trader. Bartering was second nature to her, but from a young age it was evident that all the young girl wanted to do was gear herself up for battle. She was fascinated by warfare and training and was bored by anything else. Very much her fathers daughter, she found herself growing evermore distant from her Mother due to their conflicting personalities and interests, but loyal to them she remained.
During her adolescent years she and her family endured a tragedy when they were betrayed by a close friend who was once a partner in business. That one act of betrayal resulted in the death of her older brother Trygve. From then on, she became colder, and her urge to seek revenge on those who had wronged her, and her family increased. While she certainly possessed compassion and kindness, she’d taught herself to be ruthless to those who had wronged her and her family. To this day she still waits for the familiar sails upon the horizon.
Extras: • Freya has long locks of dirty blonde curls, which she rather furiously ties back whenever angered. • She carries a set of foldable scales, which she uses to weigh coins ensuring what she believes to be a fair deal. • She resembles a feral cat on the battlefield.
