Freydis Eriksdotter

Freydis Eriksdotter's History

Freydis grew up in Greenland with her family. It was a very remote life. Before arriving in Kattegat, she had never seen more than forty people gathered together. She was sexually assaulted by a Christian Viking who carved a cross into her back. This has made her incredibly anti-Christian. Freydis, her half-brother Leif Eriksson, and their friends left Greenland to search for the man who raped and assaulted her in order to exact revenge. They spent five weeks traveling on the open ocean from Greenland to Kattegat. As they neared Norway, they were caught in a massive storm that killed hundreds of others, but thanks to Leif's skillful captaining, they arrived unharmed.

Freydís is fiercely pagan, fiery, and headstrong. She is a staunch believer in the old Norse gods. Freydis and her brother grew up in a very harsh environment that requires a survivalist mentality. She is determined to step out of her famous and violent father's shadow.
