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.
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 and the situations she finds herself in. 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.
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.
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 makeup. She has let her long dirty blonde hair flow freely and has her pendant around her neck.
Six months after ending the threat of Dahlia, Freya's hair had been cut to shoulder length.
Powers[]
With the death of the Resurrected Qetsiyah, Dahlia, Inadu/Hollow, she is now (according to several reliable sources) the most powerful witch in the world possessing a thousand years of experience and knowledge as well as her first born Mikaelson battery although she cannot use her full potential as it would kill her. However, Hope Mikaelson has the potential to surpass Freya even as a baby and has as of present day.
Dahlia's Curse[]
Some time later in her young adult life, Dahlia enchanted Freya with a powerful connective magic curse that forced her to sleep for one hundred years whilst in that time amassing an abundance of magical power. Unfortunately, the effects of the curse only allow Freya to be awake and live for a single year before the cycle was repeated. During this period of time, she would be functionally immortal via a strong protection spell though she would still age for that year.
While under Dahlia's spell, Freya had proven herself to be an extremely powerful witch, though she still feared her aunt, demonstrating the ability to communicate with her sister, Rebekah, through dreams and visions even while she was still technically in her century-long sleep. Freya was stated to be stronger than Esther Mikaelson during this time.
She has also shown an affinity for telekinetic spells, including being able to move multiple heavy objects without touching them, even in a state of deep slumber. Since her revival, Freya has exhibited a noteworthy amount of power and skill. She was able to take down multiple members of the Kindred, and later murdered the Harvest girl, Cassie, as punishment for her treachery.
With the aid of her talisman, Freya healed Rebekah's broken hand with a nonverbal spell and later accelerated the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Her power is most evidenced after breaking the spell over the Fauline Cottage doors that has kept countless witches imprisoned for decades with sheer magical force. She also increased the frequency of her whistling to the point that it caused Aiden severe pain.
Freya was also able to locate her brother, Finn Mikaelson, in spite of being hidden with a cloaking spell. She was also able to locate her niece, Hope, a feat that Rebekah claimed could only be accomplished with the power of a hundred witches indicating her raw strength as an Immortal witch surpassed a hundred conventional witches. However, after locating Hope, Freya gave Finn her pendant for protection and subsequently killed by their siblings. With the pendant, she could remove souls and transfer them into different bodies or keep them inside. She could also channel the souls in her pendant so long as she shared a blood connection with them.
Freya was able to awaken her desiccated father with a spell that required a minimal amount of blood.
Given the sheer amount of magic she possessed, she was able to break apart the cursed shackles that were meant to prevent a witch from using their powers and then instantaneously subdued Klaus by snapping his neck with telekinesis. She would later use a spell of Esther's creation to reach inside Eva Sinclair's mind while drawing on Elijah, and then Klaus, as anchors to mentally project Marcel and Vincent with her subconscious in the hopes of bringing Rebekah back. She even enchanted a dagger so Vincent could bring it with him on the journey. Another testament to her augmented magic was when she destroyed Esther (who was possessing Lenore's body) with a metamorphosis spell while drawing on her talisman and touching her mother's host's forehead. In doing so, she caused Lenore's body to transform into a few dozen starlings that died shortly after the transformation.
She could also create a "killing field" that could render Dahlia powerless and mortal as soon as she stepped into it. She also easily located the hidden White Oak Stake by using a toothpick in a glass of bourbon to pinpoint its location. While unable to fight Dahlia's magic directly, Freya easily disrupted Dahlia's spell as soon as the latter's magic was temporarily weakened by the cursed shackles, i.e. by removing the white-oak-dust particles from within her siblings via telekinesis, by causing them to cough up the ashes.
Later on, Freya resorted Eva Sinclair's dead body and gave Rebekah the option to inhabit it again, to which she agreed and Freya transferred her spirit into the vessel
Post-Dahlia's Death[]
Since the death of Dahlia, Freya has had many of her spells and rituals result in failure, due to the fact that the colossal amounts of power she previously had available were no longer accessible without death occurring. Her pseudo-immortality was also reversed with Dahlia's death as she stated on numerous occasions that if she dies then she dies unless she casts a protection charm in anticipation. 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. Later she 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 even if she isn't physically there.
Her pain infliction spells are more than powerful enough to give thousand-year-old vampires, major headaches, even if they have built an immunity towards pain infliction.
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. 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.
Freya was also capable of performing a world wide locator spell though it fatigued her and was ultimately unsuccessful in finding White Oak.
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.
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 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).
She could also generate light through her necklace. By channeling the death of the Hollow, she fully healed and resurrected Elijah placing his soul back in his Original body.
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.
When Elijah and Klaus both died, Freya absorbed the energy from the massive Nexus Vorti the event caused. This had the effect of increasing her base power for several years after as she didn't have any significant expenditures. After Josie Saltzman visited her, Freya could cast a Japanese purge spell to remove supernatural influence over the mind including the effects of Malivore which she performed on a world wide scale selectively onto supernaturals as to not reverse compulsion on humans. Such a feat is noteworthy given Josie Saltzman could only perform the spell on the scale of a small town such as Mystic Falls and it nearly killed her. She also cast a death spell on Hope Mikaelson to quickly and painlessly kill her in order to activate her vampire side.
