Be prepared to stand alone,
But when the winter comes,
With howling winds and bitter snows,
Together stand as one.

FREYA LONMAR
Name: [Redacted... Trollollollolloll~!]
Full Titles: Jarl Freya Lonmar of Avanor, daughter of Draco Lonmar.
Nickname: Most are inclined to address her using the traditional honorific of "Jarl", though she has an additional one or two aliases for reasons of personal safety when travelling.

KEY INFORMATION:
Age: A mere 17 years of age.
Gender: Female, a fact she is frequently reminded of.
Race: Human, of the {Norvägen} people.

Social Status: Jarl (the loose equivalent of a Lord or Lady).
Sexuality: Oh, you just try.
Height: 5 foot 7 1/2 inches.
Weight: Around 8 stone.
Date of Birth: 16th Day of Snowdown, 2244 - Year of Blizzards.
Date of Death: She has every intention of living.
Homeland: Old Stormhold, Avalon.
Current Home: Camp Stormhold, Avanor.


PHYSIOLOGY:
Build: Slender, though by no means feeble, Freya is rather lean of build, a result of stubborn perseverance with manual tasks around the camp.
Hair: Her hair is perhaps her most obvious feature; reaching to the centre of her back, it is unforgivably curly, often tangled, and a brazen, coppery red.
Eyes: A stormy grey, her eyes are thoughtful and occasionally disquieting.
Skin: As is typical among the Norvägen, she has a very pale complexion, with freckles dotted across her cheekbones.
Identifying Marks: No longer with any of the softness of childhood, her hands are tough and well-used to the reins of a horse.
Appearance: Though it is clear this young Lonmar is barely a woman grown, she holds herself with the same authority as her father before her, with her eyes showing the same solemn determination amidst the grey. High cheekbones, with a long, straight nose and sharp jaw mark her distinctly as one of her people, and to those who knew Draco, it is an old smile they might see on her face.
Clothing: Though it varies, she usually chooses to don a series of roughspun tunics and furs, the latter sometimes exchanged for a doublet of dark crimson, each pulled to the waist with an unadorned leather belt. Almost invariably, however, she is seen wearing thick, woollen riding breeches, and now and again a heavy, grey cloak for travel, lined with furs and held by modest, silver fastenings.
Hygiene: Though she does not allow her hygiene to fall below a respectable standard, she cares little for the frivolities of vanity, and resents when they are required.
Voice: Freya speaks with what might be described as a firm clarity. Her vocabulary is reasonably extensive, and often she will choose her words carefully. Her speech is accented by the ancient tongue of the Norvägen, which (though extinct) remains evident through the sharpened lilt of the sounds spoken by those of the North.


QUALITIES AND FLAWS:
Strengths: Where others exhibit talent upon the field of battle or win their spurs with strength of arms, Freya can boast of no such thing. Her battles must be won with wits and words, weapons she wields with the utmost vigilance. Having been denied less... ladylike pursuits, she has also developed something of a flair for horse riding, in which she exhibits considerable skill, speed and confidence. Though by no means excelling in terms of textbook technique, she can ride fast and she can ride well, able to sit and even sleep in the saddle for hours at a time. In addition to this, her stamina is considerable, for such is needed to tolerate the hardships of northern life.
Fears: “Bravery is the brother of fear.”

Weaknesses: Youth, inexperience - both are, for the moment, inescapable thorns in her side, though more often than not it is her gender which causes questions to be asked of her ability to govern a people. As a child, it was never Freya who was prepared for command, and now it is with a cloak of almost glacial courtesy that she navigates this new-found world of schemes and treachery. Bar a few stolen hours spying on her brother's lessons, it was also the fault of tradition which lay in the way of her learning to wield a sword or loose an arrow. Thus, her knowledge of combat, armed or nay, was likewise compromised - and, in spite of her labours, her physical strength is ultimately only that of a woman.
Intelligence: From a young age, her father saw to it that she was educated as far as circumstance would allow, granting a her a good foundation in both literacy and numeracy, in addition to a targeted understanding of Alteran history. Though by no means the most knowledgeable in any field of study, Freya is no fool when it comes to people, and it is her hope that what she lacks in experience might be compensated for with a questioning mind.
Languages: She was raised with the Common Tongue, but she is able to rely on at least one or two basic formalities in both Elven and Horgaahn. Her father also saw to it that she was given a rudimentary education of Old Norvägen, the dying tongue of her ancestors, in which she is able to read and write with a fair grasp of grammar and translate texts of moderate complexity. While it is no longer spoken except in old proverbs, names, and rites, she is also aware of the language's pronunciation, though an attempt to speak it would fall far short of fluency.
Profession: The last viable heir to the House Lonmar, it was Freya who took up the mantle to lead the Norvägen people as Jarl after the loss of her father and their King. Far from a position of luxury, her days are most commonly filled with letters, inventories, and the tedium of bookkeeping. When these duties are absent, it is her habit to take on a labouring role within the camp, be that fetching and carrying supplies, drawing water from the well, chopping firewood, or mending boots and blankets.


ETHICS AND MOTIVATIONS:
Personality: With a certain discipline of mind equaled only by that of her spirit, Freya is fiercely determined, and it is with iron resolve that she strives to protect her people. Her respect for her father has shaped much of her philosophy, and it is from him she learned to truly value the meaning of the Lonmar words: valour above all - the bravery to act, and to do what is right; to protect and to serve her people, and honour their loyalty to the very end.
Religious Beliefs: Having been among one the first to openly return to the old way of the Norvägen in defiance of imperious southern prejudices, Freya holds onto a strong belief in the Path of Fire and Ice. Though acknowledging the existence and evolution of the Pantheon, she does not worship any divine entity - instead holding a belief in two Guardians whose role it is only to evaluate the souls of the deceased upon their ascent to the afterlife: Vallaryn. Guided by her faith, she is compelled greatly by her understanding of morality in matters of personal volition, seeking equilibrium with the so-named Old Evils of the world through the avoidance Chosen Evils, and ongoing pursuit of good in her choices.
Short Term Goals: Do her duty.
Long Term Goals: Keep her promise.

+ An untitled storybook backed with faded blue fabric, illustrated with pirate ships, forests of toadstools, and leering little goblins

TRIVIA:
Favourite:
Place: Her only place is with her people.

Pastime: She finds rare solace in the saddle of a horse. Alternatively, in the middle of a snowball fight.
Food: Roast venison or smoked fish are perhaps the least mundane articles amidst a usual diet of bread and stew.*
Drink: The warming, spiced mead of the north is always welcome come wintertime.
Colour: She is bound to the white and crimson of Lonmar.
Animal: It was for the perseverance and loyalty of the wolf that she chose her sigil.
*Confession: The favourite food bit is a filthy lie. She was crazy for marzipan as a wee Freybles.

Least Favourite:
Place: She feels rather confined by at a certain inn.

Pastime: Certainly there are disadvantages to being screeched at by angry, magical Nakam - and neither is she partial to being unjustly accused of sullying other peoples' potato patches.
Food: Her tolerance for exotic southern dishes has receded considerably in recent years.
Drink: In Avanor, to drink unheated water is often a cold and unpleasant affair, but chamomile tea comes in at a close second, with oregano just behind.
Colour: She readily dislikes gold for the greed it incites in men.
Animal: She holds no liking for all that slithers and scuttles in the South.

RELATIONS:
Individuals significant in their category are highlighted in bold.
Individuals unconventional in their category are highlighted in italics.

ARTWORK:
@SallyPirate made a chibi, and I haven't finished squealing about it yet.

Freya.png

@ForestRose's amazing WIP, resulting in more very unmanly squeals:

FreyaForest.jpg

@SallyPirate did another one and, oh my word, it is glorious:

@bettemus99 drew an ice sculpture of her character Arganaer, nearly falling off a horse, and Freya! *Squealing intensifies*

Aaaand a glorious sceptical Freya by the lovely @Lannis

@bettemus99 did a chibi and I literally can't stop laughing at just how appropriate it is.

INEVITABLE POLANDBALL:
...Some shenanigans ensued, and someone ( @VanquishedVyre ) went and occupied the Wall of Frostwood. Cherry doodled Polandball-style!

sads.png

And then one of the Magi turned up bearing gifts... I'm sure I've heard that one somewhere before. ( @Naelwyn )

huehuehue.png

Then, naturally, Freya tries to go undercover at the Naught, and bumps into just... One or two acquaintances. ( @bettemus99 , @Michcat )

But, guys, come on...

"The Council of Lords + that one awkward Lonmar woman" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
