Freyja Khaalida

Freyja is a Clan Roleplay character in the Spicy Stories Discord Server and a supporting character of the book "Scared For Life".

Appearance
Freyja is a fairly tall and well-toned female vampire. She is half Japanese and half Spanish with monolid eyes and sun-kissed skin. The color of her eyes is a unique rose-gold that people talk about in myths and stories. Her long eyelashes along with her upturned and monolid eyes make her look like a hungry predator. Her noticeable dark circles making her seem even more unfriendly as well. Her eyes are big and expressive, even though her face normally reveals nothing except from coldness. She is introduced in the roleplay with long black messy hair that reaches just underneath her shoulders and hugs her round face. After the Rob Arc though Freyja is seen with short uneven hair, which Daiki Anzai cut. The first thing you notice when you look at her, other than her eyes, is her full, heart shaped, matte-painted lips and her light freckles that are splattered across her face along with some beauty marks.

Freyja, just like every other vampire, possesses a set of razor-sharp fangs that can be used either to rip out skin and flesh when on combat or to drink blood from humans. However, because of some remains of spellcaster blood, Freyja's fangs are a bit weaker than other vampires of her rank. Also, she has a slightly upturned nose and her eyebrows, which are always raised, whether because she is confused or because she is criticizing someone, are natural. Her well trained and curvy body is covered with self made tattoos and scars from missions and training. She has a vey noticeable scar on her leg from when Yua Anzai shot her with an arrow on the Osore arc.

She is always seen carrying a bag that consists of her paint supplies and weapons. Her hands are always covered with paint that stain the black nails that she has on throughout the whole roleplay. She is wearing a simple necklace that her brother gifted to her and some small moon earrings. Most of the time she wears plain clothes but her style is classy (consists of suits) and somewhat revealing. In the roleplay we see her wearing her assassin clothes and after the Osore Arc Daiki's shirt with some loose destroyed pants that Wren gave her.

Personality


Before the death of her mother and the Αsh incident, Freyja was a very shy child. As a toddler she was very quite and would often scare her family with her natural ability to blend in with her surroundings. Since birth she was very protective over her family and would always stick close to her twin, claiming that if danger came she would be able to defend him. She was always close with her parents and constantly had the need to prove to them that she was helpful and reliable. Whether it was chores or helping her brother with his homework, Freyja managed everything and would constantly receive a great amount of praise. However, her reliable side was taking a break on school hours, where even though Freyja did well with exams and tests, when it came to the normal classes she would be always seen sleeping. She didn't have many friends as she was reaching her pre-teen years and her awkwardness that came out as indifference intimidated her classmates.

A couple years later, when Freyja was still new to the council, she rarely talked and only nodded to the important members of the council staff. She used to only communicate telepathically with her brother and kept her thoughts and comments to herself. However, after meeting more and more people, Freyja started to let her walls down and finally was able to truly communicate with her friends and later strangers. On missions, she killed a great amount of people but never really payed mind to it. Learning how to shut those emotions of empathy out, Freyja became for a long period of time really cold towards her victims and was even characterized as a perfect killing machine by many. Still, even though no-one ever mentioned it, through her swift movements and precise vital hits, it is easy to detect that Freyja doesn't want to cause unnecessary harm to people that didn't wrong her, something that the members of S&S caught on pretty early.

Now grown up, Freyja is much more sociable but has still trouble externalizing her inner thoughts and feelings. She is strategic and adaptable to every situation. She reacts to danger almost immediately and is always ready to protect and aid the people she cares for by eliminating the threat. She is able to deal with everything but her emotions and there have been some incidences where her mood dramatically changes really fast. Her experience allows her to always think a step ahead from other people but it has also made her a very wary person. She is a pessimist to anything that concerns the council but she still chose to assist the rebellion plan for the sake of her friends. She seems intimidating at first but after you get to know her, Freyja reveals a more playful and expressive side. In addition, Freyja is really passionate about weapons and especially daggers. She works out a lot and loves to sketch and talk about art techniques, a hobby that is made known right after the Cave Ark, when the Paint Scene took place.

Furthermore, Freyja hates feeling cornered and criticized. This is majorly implied in the Realization Ark when Daiki and Freyja have a fight over her Spellcaster Blood which Daiki wishes to heal her from. Freyja absolutely despises being called a witch and refuses to acknowledge the blood that is running through her veins because of all the trauma magic brought to her life as a child. Freyja doesn't in fact hold a grudge against spellcasters themselves and is great friends with a majority of them.

History
Freyja was a half-blood spellcaster living in the suburbs of New York with the rest of her family. Her mom was a full-blood spellcaster from Spain and her dad a simple bookstore owner that immigrated there from Japan. Freyja was the first child, her twin brother following right after her. Even though her mom was a witch, neither she or her kids were able to do magic, meaning that Freyja and Fenriz grew up believing that it never even existed in the first place. At the age of 11, she and her family witnessed the death of her mother, who sadly passed away from a car crush. After her mom's death her dad was never the same. He spent most of his time in his study, reading books about magic, ignoring both of his and his children's needs. That's when Freyja learned cooking while her brother tried to take care of the house, both contributing together in the chores. They even tried handling the bookstore together, something that of course didn't last for long.

When she turned twelve, her dad had completely lost it. One night he grabbed both her and her sibling, shoving them in the basement. He tied them up and started saying how even though he is not a spellcaster, he found a way to make a spell through their magical blood to bring his wife back. Of course, the spell backfired. Everyone knows resurrections spells are almost impossible, especially for people that aren't even spellcasters. Freyja and her brother passed out just when the spell started. When they woke up they weren't themselves. Τheir dad seemed happy as he was holding a child filled with ash in his arms, thanking god that his wife is back. However, that was not Freyja's mother. it was something completely new. He started to walk away, not even turning his head to their direction. That's when they exploded, killing him in an instant. They took the child out of the basement and run away, their father still laying there. To this day, no-one has entered the house again or even thought about paying a visit. Between the ages of 12 and 15, she and her twin brother survived by breaking into motels and taking illegal missions. One day, their mission turned out to be bigger than they expected. All they had to do was break into a safe of an organization and take some documents with a gold stamp on them, a job that at first sounded easy for them. However, when they got there they realized it's a trap. Throughout all these years, Freyja and Fenriz became really well known in the underworld as a duo that can do anything. No wonder they attracted the council. When they got into the safe, every member of the council was there but only two females were talking. They asked freyja and fenriz to work for them, promising that the pay will be far better than what they currently get. After they refused, the council blackmailed them with their childhood story and implied that it would be made public. In the end, Freyja started working as an assassin for them, jumping through the ranks too fast for their liking. Back then was when she and her brother started using their mother's surname. The Council believed them to be an addition to their many servants and minions but Emma and Wren had other ideas in mind. They offered them a deal that could go two ways: work with them in an important mission to save the world or suffer at the hands of the people who knew their deepest, darkest secrets. Deciding on the first option, Fenriz and Freyja were educated on Council politics and trained by Emma and Wren separately, under the cover of working as an assassin for The Council. When they were old enough, the Khaalida twins formed a gang of criminals, going by the name of 'Storm and Silence'. It was created to divert The Council's attention from what truly lay beneath all the lies and dramatics: the start of a movement. Noteworthy is the fact that when they were still training for the council, they stumbled upon a book that said if a vampire that got turned with other people through magic died so would the rest.

Abilities
Many of Freyja's abilities come from her being a first line Vampire (was created by a spellcaster and wasn't sired), thing that makes her more powerful than average. Her normal vampire powers are enhanced as well.


 * Vampire Strength, Reflexes & Stealth- Because of her vampire blood, Freyja possesses a considerable amount of superhuman strength that is much greater than humans. She also has extremely keen senses and agility, which together help her deflect and dodge incoming attacks. In addition, she is most well known in the underworld for her stealth. She can quickly and easily sneak up to her victims, even if those are fellow vampires.
 * Vampire Speed and Stamina- Freyja can move, jump, climb and run incredibly fast due to her being a vampire. Her super stamina lets her go without weeks of sleeping and resting, something that Freyja personally chooses to ignore as she loves to nap.
 * Shapeshifting- One of the most useful strengths vampires have. Shapeshifting into different creatures is very normal in the vampire world. Freyja can currently turn into a tiger but she does not enjoy shapeshifting. The first and last time we saw her changing into an animal form was when she turned into a wolf in the introduction arc to find her sister.
 * Ancient Eyes- Due to her magic transformation, Freyja's eyes turned into a weird rose-gold color that usually intimidated her opponents. No great advantage unless a Spellcaster Hunter comes into contact with them. Ancient vampires can use this power to unleash a servant like mode in Spellcaster Hunters. Freyja unconsciously used this to Daiki during the Kokoro Spirit Arc in an attempt to calm him.
 * Telepathy- When Freyja turned into a vampire, she and her brother could understand each other without talking. All it took was one look and they already knew what the other was thinking. With the passage of time, their ability grew and Freyja and Fenriz could even form sentences and pass it to one another. Even though we haven't seen Freyja use it with him, in the Kokoro Spirit Arc Freyja was able to communicate with, her other sibling, Ashley for a split second. Freyja believes that this ability probably runs within the family as she can't use it to anyone else beside them.
 * Combat and Daggers- Thanks to her hard and constant training, Freyja responds really well in fights. She is experienced with the use of daggers and never questions herself and her movements when on battle. In addition, her vampire senses contribute to her combat abilities, giving her an unnatural advantage towards humans and spellcasters.
 * Cunningness- Freyja is very smart when it comes to tricky situations. She can easily manipulate and shock her opponents, a fact that almost always turns things quickly in her favor.
 * Languages- Because of her rich heritage, Freyja is able to speak English, Spanish and Japanese. She was very behind in her studies due to her running away at 12 but after they formed their first team, Kiran offered to teach her and her brother everything they had missed all of these years.

Fenriz Khaalida
Fenriz is Freyja's younger twin brother. During their childhood and up until their recent teenage years, the two were inseparable and always seen together. They were a famous duo that many ,even inside the high council, feared. Their relationship was heavily based on trust. Because of their shared memories and trauma, the siblings have a strong bond of respect and understanding. However, the two haven't interacted at all since the intro arc, when Fenriz met with her at the bar she was first seen to let her know that he was going to pull off something major. Freyja has always been protective over her siblings, especially since the incident. Through the roleplay there have been many moments where she expresses her frustration about not being able to communicate or use her telepathic ability with Fenriz.

Ashlyn Karma Scott-Ma cà rồng
Ashlyn was born out of Freyja's mom's ashes. After she killed her father, Freyja took Ashlyn and left her somewhere safe before running away with her brother. Through the years, Freya kept in touch with Ash and was very protective over her. She has killed many people in order to protect her and even beat up her ex in many different occasions. She never understood why Ashley always stopped her from killing him but always listened to her sister's requests. Freyja has managed to protect her many times, including the Cave Arc and the Cliff Arc, where Daiki and she manages to convince Ash from committing suicide. However, Freyja's and Ashley's relationship had many ups an downs and was always shaky. Freyja's overprotective personality always clashed with Ashley's dangerous nature and that lead to many arguments in the way. They never really saw heart to heart and the undeveloped at that time relationship of Daiki and Frey pushed the sisters further apart. Freyja was always unsure of what Ash is to her biologically. At the Intro arc we have seen Freyja lose her composure and call her "mother", though she knows its not. Freyja also loves Lucy, Ashley's daughter, and found communicating with her much easier than with her mother because of her unnatural maturity despite her young age. Freyja found out about Ashley's death through Ryan but didn't believe it at first. She didn't have much time to research it before she was sent to Japan but unconsciously knows it's the truth. She is still wondering why she didn't die with her and is suspecting that they book they saw the information in was wrong or mistyped.

Daiki Anzai
When they first met, they were rather weary of each other and Freyja deemed that Daiki was really lucky to be alive after so many people trying to kill him. Freyja was very cold to him and had her guard even more up after finding out he is a spellcaster hunter ( because of her niece's vampire hunter blood and the danger that put her in). However, after seeing his fascination and lack of fear about her eyes, Freyja was shocked and really didn't know how to act around him. In the Cliff Ark, Freyja shows him a more vulnerable side and even falls asleep beside him after seeing how much he truly cared for her sister. Daiki's curious nature, intelligent, clumsiness and selflessness slowly led her to fall in love with him, something she understood after Taro kissed her. Before the Realization Ark Frey resisted the idea of it, but upon further development Freyja gives in and doesn't pull away when Daiki finally kisses her. Daiki plays a large part in helping Freyja understand that she should live her own life the way she wants to and that everything she has done so far was her choice and not the Council's.

The two make an indestructible team in combat, combining her agility, cunningness and experience with Daiki's strength, wits blood and connection to her. Freyja never doubts his intuitions and follows his plans even if they sound risky or even crazy. Because of Daiki's Hunter Blood, the two cannot touch each other otherwise the Anzai Spark will hurt him. Freyja is against Daiki touching her as the expressions of pain displayed on his face every time really upset her. However, that is not enough to keep Daiki from making contact and touch her without wearing the painting gloves she gave him in the Paint-Scene Arc.

Freyja believes Daiki is an honest and pure person, even after she found out he killed someone and that he lied to her about the the circumstances of him coming to New York. She feels safe but at the same time vulnerable when around him, a feeling possibly enhanced because their blood connection.

In the Realization Arc, Daiki and Freyja have a fight over her Spellcaster Blood which Daiki wishes to heal her from. However, Freyja doesn't accept his help which leads to both of them saying harsh things and Daiki becoming suffocating. Freyja can't handle Daiki's wish to change her and ends up throwing a knife that slightly cuts his ear after he challenges her. After that, they part ways and Freyja is really lost about what she should have said and what not.

The two meet again in Japan after Freyja gets sent to his family estate to help defeat and lock away the last spirits that had escaped. They express their feelings and thoughts about what had happened in the woods and both of them have now a better understanding of each other.

Wren Cruorem
Freyja met Wren when the Council contacted her for the first time. After Freyja agreed to assist her and Emma with their rebellion plan she spent almost every day being trained by them. Wren and she quickly became very close and Frey considers her her closest friend and ally. She cares for her deeply and would do anything to keep her safe. This is proven in the Japan Arc when Freyja stays at the Anzai estate so she can kill the spirits after the council being at Wren's and Emma's throat. Wren always told Frey her old stories and filled her in with her experiences. Their relationship is mainly built on trust and communication. At first glance someone would assume their interactions are just silly banters but in closer inspections you can see that they both care and worry for each other when on danger. Wren was the first person to ever buy Freyja a drink and through the entire roleplay we have seen her gifting stuff to Freyja whatever the cost (ex. houses & apartments).

Emma Rosales
Freyja met Emma, alongside Wren, when the Council contacted her for the first time. After Freyja agreed to assist her and Wren with their rebellion plan she spent almost every day being trained by them. After years of knowing each other, Emma and Freyja are really good friends but their relationship is very different from what Wren and Freyja have. Emma is very honest with Frey and always tells her what she thinks even if it's not what she wants to hear. In addition, in many occasions we have seen Emma mess with Freyja and the opposite. Freyja cares for her deeply and is very comfortable around her even with the constant bantering. She loves listening to her talk about past experiences and past fashion. She is grateful that Emma keeps sending her designer clothes but all of the apartments Wren has gifted her are filled with just them. However, she is definitely not grateful about Emma introducing her to Magnus, who keeps calling her "Farah something".

Ebony Trenton-Amaral
Freyja met Ebony for the first time at the bar when she was summoned from Daiki after the spirits got out. Freyja already had heard of Ebony from Emma and Wren while they were training her but was still shocked to realize that it was truly her. Because of the chaos of Ashley being trapped in a cave (Cave Ark), we don’t see the two women interact much. Later on it is revealed that the pair has grown closer, Ebony’s outgoing character and vibrant nature totally clicking with Freyja’s personality. Their interactions are filled with silly banters and jokes and Freyja is much more relaxed with Ebony’s presence around. Ebony is also the person Freyja keeps most contact with and they call really often to keep up with each other. She considers her a close trusting friend and is wondering how she can ask her how it was being inside of Daiki’s body without being teased.

Kat Bloodborne
Kat is one of Freyja's closest friends and the first person she interacts with in the entire roleplay. They are first seen together in a bar, Kat keeping her company as Freyja works mission. They know it's other through Storm & Silence as Kat was one of the first and most important members of the gang. They care and support each other unconditionally, even when they don't see eye to eye. On the Cliff Ark, Freyja is there while Kat gives birth, calming her in the process. Freyja is also the person that named Kat's and Athen's baby boy. She suggested the name Lorcan and is later revealed that she will be his godmother. After Kat gave birth, because of the chaos, Freyja hadn't contacted her for a long time. However, we see the girls reunite again just after the River scene.

Yua Anzai
Yua and Freyja met in the woods along with Wren right before the Kokoro Spirit Arc. At first Freyja was impressed with the woman's abilities but she still didn't obligate with her request to tell her where her brother was. During The Next Arc, Yua mistakes Freyja's struggle with Daiki as harmful and shoots her in the leg with an arrow, giving her a permanent scar despite Yua's efforts to use her blood to heal her. Freyja feels awkward with the woman as she is Daiki's sister and is lowkey intimidated by her (this is proven in the Anzai Estate when Freyja doesn't want to stumble upon her).

Houtarou
Frey knew Houtarou but had never seen him in person before. Her brother met him just as she re-signed from the gang and she wasn't really paying attention to his whining about him. However, right after she learned about Ashley's death, Houtarou and Freyja met in the woods when she was trying to comprehend what had happened to her sister. Freyja saw Yua beside Taro and mistook him for Daiki. She walked up to them and he quickly recognized her as Fenriz's twin because of the uncanny similarity. He decided to play a trick on Fenriz by kissing her but just as their lips touched Freyja realized it's not Daiki. She quickly regained her composure and stabbed him multiple times. The fight ended with Freyja stealing Taro's sword but in the end it came back to him anyways. Freyja still doesn't know much information about how Taro is Yua's and Daiki's sibling and why they didn't know that.

Kurayami Takahashi
Freyja and Kura did not get along at all when they first met and they still dislike each other very much. Freyja thought he was really rude and was annoyed that he didn't listen to her, especially in the Cave Ark, where even though she warned him to move away from the entrance. he still blamed her for harming him. Freyja then also started being mean towards him and making unnecessary comments about his height. The two are always petty with each other and aren't afraid to be brutally honest about the other's flaws. Freyja is also really afraid of his cat, Spooky, and is always cautious around him in case his cat jumps out from his bag again.

Petra Adams
Freyja already knew of Petra's existence even before he made his appearance in the Cave Ark. She had heard his name be mentioned before by her sister, Ashley, but had never engaged in a conversation with him. Even though Freyja has never really talked with Petra, she thinks he is an alright person and respects him. Because both of them are a bit awkward when interacting with people they do not know, when left alone they mostly stay silent and observe the people surrounding them.
