Personality Summary:Old fashioned, stubborn to a fault and cautious to the point of coming off as rude and cold to those she first meets, Freyja is a young woman who's inner fire burns far hotter than her reserved and frosty exterior might first suggest. Never one to back down from a challenge, her sometimes reckless nature has landed in her hot water more than once, and more than her fair share of scoldings. Whether it be from her biological parents, her adopted parents, her 'older sister' or even the doctor in charge of her training.
What she lacks in impulse control at times however, she makes up for in spades when it comes to work ethic and determination, turning what some viewed as a weakness of hers in how stubborn she is into a true strength, that same drive to never back down from a challenge channelled into a work ethic that is borderline obsessive and unhealthy, leading to more scolding's of a different nature.
As one might expect of her, she holds a rather pragmatic view on life in general, using logic over emotion to dictate her actions and holds a tough love approach on life, not wanting to baby patients too much and often forcing them to do as instructed through whatever means she might have at her disposal. Though even that is often thrown out the window when in the face of hurt or sad children, especially smaller or younger ones. Faced with such a situation, her personality warms considerably, typically caving in quite quickly to them much to the amusement of those around her.
When in her spare time, she is often found reading and practicing magic, though since coming to the capital she has cut down on the latter considerably, much to her chagrin. She goes to arduous lengths to get the space and privacy to practice when she can however, loving it far too much to ever stop completely. After all, she views magic as a second nature to her, even if she understands she has to hide her passion for it from the public.
Background
What Kingdom are you from, and what town were you born in?:Caesonia
Current occupation:Travelling aspiring doctor
Any past occupations?:Baker apprentice, Witches Apprentice
Relatives:Stratya Durmand (adopted sister), adopted mother, adopted siblings
Skills:Baking, sewing, medicinal herb knowledge and application, Old school magic knowledge
History Summary:Born as Freyja Baequiettln, she's the middle child of three kids, with an older and younger brother. Though her memories of her family are hazy at times, she often remembers feelings of fondness when recalling moments with her parents and siblings, though her more distinct memories come from her times spent with her grandmother, Circe Baequitettln, one of the original witches. She remembers her days of honing her craft with her grandmother, learning as much as she could about magicae, the need to help people with it, the balance she had to uphold, the responsibility that came with learning magic and to not share this information with outsiders she didn't know. She recalls visiting her almost every day she could, spending entire afternoons trying to learn even the basics of some spellcraft, often times nagging her till she caved into her demands. She also adored her grandmothers stories, even if most of them were filled with little truth, embellished facts or just effectively nursery rhymes ranging from basic moral lessons to stories of love and adventure, though many such as the origins of certain spells are lost in the haze that is her mind at times, she does however remember nagging her grandmother over and over again about the origins of magic, only to be told 'when you're older'.
She isn't sure of the exact details that follows one eventful day sometime after she turned 12, other than she was practicing magic when her younger brother interrupted her. The rest is hazy, only knowing that she felt like she had fallen asleep for a long time before waking up in the Hills of Vermillion, hurt, alone and scared. This is when Stratya Durmand found her, took her home and she was welcomed into the family, thusly becoming Freyja Durmand from henceforth.
During the following few years, she would learn about how the world had changed since she had 'fallen asleep', at first struggling to come to terms with her situation, but with Stratya's help she slowly opened up. The part she struggled with most, other than of course realising she could never see her 'true' family ever again or her missing memories, however was the acceptance that magic had been demonised and outlawed to the point it had been. To her, magic had always been a force for good, to be used to help others. She knew there were some bad apples, but that didn't completely override the good did it? Eventually she would learn not to openly use her magic, especially after nearly having a run in on the road with a witch hunter after she had left to learn medicine when she turned 20.
That experience was hallowing to say the least, leaving quite the distasteful imprint on her, causing her to be more cautious than ever before around people she doesnt know, especially if she believes they're trying to pry into her past or about her. She currently serves in Sorian as a doctor in training and into her third year of medicine.
Questionnaire
HistoryDid you grow up nurtured or neglected?: Nurtured, for better or worse.
When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?: I would often hide myself in a tight, enclosed space under the house, or in the woods.
What were you like in your teenage years?: Naive, free-spirited and stupid, I know better now.
How close are you to your parents?: My biological parents? I don't recall much but I believe so as they taught me a great many thing, though I quite like Mrs Durmand, very thankful she took me in.
Do you have any trauma that haunts you?: I feel like there's this overbearing pressure to be the best I can be, though I cannot recall where this feeling comes from. Otherwise nearly dying would be up there....
What advice would you give your younger self?: Don't obsess over what you can't control so much
Were you an obedient child or defiant?: I like to think I was rather obedient....but I would be lying.
What is your biggest regret?: Its...hard to describe, as I can't actually remember it. But I feel like I did something very, very wrong when I woke up, and occasionally I have these odd dreams I can't really describe either as I never really remember them when I wake up the next morning, normally in a cold sweat. I do remember saying the words 'I'm sorry' though for what its worth, so I know what I must've done was wrong in some form.....
RomanceHave you ever been in love?: What is this? Gossip club? Not that I recall no
What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner.: Someone that can keep up with me and share in my dreams and desires would be ideal. Otherwise, a strong father figure for my future children is the priority. So someone kind, patient and preferably strong.
How do you display affection? What is your love language?: ....like a normal person? There's different ways?
Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?: Not that I recall no sorry, and even if I did recall, it would be none of your business anyway.
Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?: No. Its impractical and irrational to judge one on a mere first impression of their physical well-being. There's far more important matters, like their personality and compatibility henceforth with their ideals and beliefs. And thats just to simplify it. 'Love at first sight' is a weak excuse for poor decisions and mostly ends in disaster.
What does marriage mean to you?: Its a piece of paper, you don't need it to prove anything
Are you currently crushing on anyone?: Again with the gossip....I'm not no, and once again, even if I was, it would be none of your business.
Do you ever consider having children in the future?: Oh, absolutely. Preferably at least seven, but it depends on when I settle down or find a partner that suits my needs. I'm open to more.
PersonalityDescribe your ideal Sunday morning: Lying in bed with a hot or cold beverage depending on the season and enjoying a nice book
What kind of person do you aspire to be?: Hopefully one that can stick true to their ideals and beliefs; in my case, I wish to be strong, kind and a role model for people to aspire to be like. To keep making the world a better place.
What bad habits do you have?: Why would you think I have bad habits? Its not like people complain I fuss over them too much or anything.....
If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?: Find out what happened to me before I woke up in the woods
What is your greatest fear?: Blood. Not that a papercut bleeding terrifies me, but the scent and sight of blood brings me back to that moment....
What are your pet peeves?: Where do I begin? Like, just asking a stupid question like that annoys me. 'There's no such thing as a stupid question'? Bah, whoever says that clearly hasn't talked to enough people. Otherwise reckless and stupid people always find ways to get on my nerves.
When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?: Alone. I'm told I can be rather...nasty when I'm upset.
Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?: I'm known to give a verbal lashing or two yes....
