The role may be expanded later [hider=Tora Peterson] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/5822ad44-8796-479b-bf3f-eb8c67327d56.jpg[/img] Tora Peterson Astrid's twin sister though more tricksy and enjoys playing jokes, teasing and more flirtatious of the two. Still hard working though definitely the more feminine of the family and despite there lack of funds at times is a master of finding showy outfits for far less than they should have any rights to cost. Her ability to hammer out a deal greatly aided the establishment of the feasting hall and kept the renovations budget in check. [/hider] [/indent] [color=ADD8E6]A N I M A L F R I E N D S[/color] [indent]Pet dog, a big Newfoundland type dog who a gentle giant called Fluffy, dark coloured and with blue and green eyes. Personally wise can be very much a giant puppy at times and forgets how heavy she is or large. [hider=Fluffy] This is the kind of scale for a Newfoundland dog! [img] http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_nva649WwOA/Tb4YBBLeBWI/AAAAAAAAHHk/3E06SsDNEQE/s1600/Newfoundland-dog8.jpg [/img] They are totally giant softies though, great swimmers even in icy water and love cold weather. Bad in hot weather being native to colder climates and thick multi-layered coats make overheating easy. [/hider] [/indent] [color=ADD8E6]H O M E L I F E[/color] [indent] (Location number 7) Lives in a comfortable stone cottage they restored next door to the feasting hall with a large fireplace at its centre point, bright pink door and windows stand out from the old grey stonework and a covered veranda around two sides providing shelter for a coffee and a place to watch the world roll by dry and snug. Home for both Peterson sisters with two bedrooms, modern features and technology blended into a traditional old fashioned stone cottage. It's not the fanciest home in the village but it's the one that always has a warm welcome and hot drink waiting for any guests. The feasting hall has a long pair of benches down the sides and the central all-important fire pit in the middle keeping the large room warm. Thick sheepskins and a large wooden chest of blankets and other items to help patrons keep warm and snug regardless of how deep the snows get, long winters nights and howling winds try to bring a chill. Not minding a slow meal the hall has a large collection of board games, chess sets and other entertainments available to enjoy an evening with friends or spend a slow rainy afternoon in comfort and company. The Feasting Hall is a place to eat but also a social location too. Though the slightly dimly lit room can be a bit smokey, and little getting used to, it's got many comforts, a very warm welcome and always a warm filling meal ready for any customers who pay a visit. The Rot as what they called it locally was a hurdle, there was a reason the place was cheap but it's hold was broken on the old building through much hard work. Once the Rots hold was beaten back a gleaming Thor's hammer nailed above the door and the top rafters as an old fashioned form of protection and blessing to all those who feast were added under his protective hammer with Odin's raven watching from the pinnacle. Well, hopefully, it works... Anything is better than nothing right? Can never hurt to respect the old god's. The menu has rather generously portioned meat options, thick and warm stews all year round but especially in the colder seasons and ales by the glass or horn for the adventurous. Serving a mix including traditional Nordic and Viking options and modern options like tea, lighter fares or just a chance to warm up by the large open fire pit on a cold day and a chat. The feasting hall was one of the hearts of life, a place where celebration, gatherings and many other functions under one, particularly important roof. Hopefully, Freyas could live up to the history and be a heart of the community for anyone who decides to visit.

A fairly happy and a slightly poorer family, the twins were born and both grew up happily with a love of Nordic culture and food. Their parents met on the major project together, smiles turned to flirts and eventually Twins arrived. Though not wealthy the Peterson's worked hard, keen to escape the grip of Big Co and decide their own path with a lot of help from friends, an inheritance and a large amount of hard work the two sisters restored an old stone cottage to live in and the rest was converted into a large Viking inspired feasting hall. The locals were less than convinced at first but there determined nature, warm welcome and an endless supply of hot stews, oversized meaty meals and more traditional Nordic offerings soon began to change the perceptions of the newcomers business. They had a few rocky moments along the way, half the roof nearly fell in repairing it and money was tight but eventually, they managed to open with a lot of effort, some tears, blood kept from bleeding by the doctor and too little sleep. Coming from a proud Nordic family the two could have taken an easier road but instead founded there feasting hall. A small slice of a Nordic welcome in a small village outside in the country. Fluffy Astrid rescued as a puppy and the overly large Newfoundland became her devoted companion though it was rather mutual and often can be seen lazing in the hall and greeting customers when Astrid's at work.
