"Hello, friend of Freyja. What's wrong?"

―Eivor finding a cat in Northwic, 873.

Freyja was an Isu belonging to the Vanir, later known as the Nordic goddess associated with love, beauty, and fertility.

Biography

Freyja's marriage to the Aesirian King Odin of Asgard was considered a largely political move. Over the time of their marriage they had many disputes and infidelities, despite all this a fondness and mutual respect grew between the two in lieu of love. Although Freyja's status as the only Vanirian Queen of Asgard was not largely accepted by the populace, she became quite comfortable in her role as their queen and enjoyed adding more civilized touches to their otherwise war-centered lives.

At some point during the marriage, Freyja gave birth to Odin's son Baldr whom they loved dearly. When Baldr was an adult, he was killed with mistle-toe by Loki.

As the Great Catastrophe approached, Freyja and the other eight Norse Isu uploaded their DNA data into Yggdrasil to be later redistributed into the human gene pool. Millennia later in the 9th century, Freyja was successfully reincarnated as Svala.

Legacy and influence

In Nordic culture, cats were considered sacred to Freyja, and akin to her in their character, being free spirits who tended to be aloof and haughty.
