Freya Mikaelson

Freya Mikaelson

Freya is the firstborn child of Mikael and Esther, the elder sister of Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik, the maternal older half-sister of Klaus. She is the paternal aunt of Klaus and Hayley's daughter, Hope. She is the bereaved mother of her and with Mathias' unborn son. Freya is also the wife of Keelin and the mother of their son, Nik.

Esther told Mikael that Freya had died of the plague while he was off hunting, when in fact her aunt Dahlia took her as payment for performing a fertility spell using Dark Magic that would allow Esther to have children. Dahlia allowed Freya to live planning to use her to brand a new form of power which she would absorb from the powerful Freya, casting a spell on her that causes her to hibernate for a hundred years to preserve her youth and to only age for a year upon awakening which is also presumably what Dahlia has done to preserve herself as well. Freya escaped from under Dahlia's wing and fled from her powerful aunt.

Centuries later, desperate to find out more about her family, she traveled to New Orleans in 1914 where she attended a Christmas party thrown by her siblings. Attending as her brother, Kol's date, she was witness to Klaus' cruelty when he staked Kol in front of the entire party. Freya then puts herself in a glass coffin in the Dowager Fauline Cottage where she then repeated her hibernation cycle until awaking December 31, 2012.

Entering a deep sleep that lasted a century, she awoke 100 years later where she discovered that her sister, Rebekah, had been imprisoned in the Asylum in the body of a young witch. Posing as an inmate, she witnessed Rebekah's confrontations with The Kindred and Cassie's betrayal. Using her magic, Freya saved Rebekah from the Kindred and broke the spell on the Asylum, freeing herself and Rebekah.

When Freya reunites with her brother Finn, he informs her of Hope's life, which inspires Freya (who wishes to take revenge against Dahlia for the deaths of her lover and son) to kill Dahlia in protection of her niece. In the end of hard long magical struggle (resulting in the death of both her parents), Freya and her younger siblings finally managed to defeat Dahlia, with Freya's finally winning her younger brothers trusts (especially Niklaus), and moving into their house as Hope's caretaker and an official Mikaelson sibling.

After a few months of peace in the supernatural community in New Orleans, trouble started again with the arrival of Lucien Castle, Klaus' first progeny, and his warnings of war between the sirelines, and so, Freya's enormous magical powers were needed again to protect her family from harm.

After the completion of the prophecy foretelling the downfall of her family, it seemed as though the entire family was going to die. She was poisoned, her brothers bitten by Marcel, and Rebekah hexed. Seeing no other choice in saving her family, Freya used Klaus as an anchor to a spell similar to the one Dahlia had cast on her to keep her breathing for a thousand years. Freya also created a Chambre de Chasse as a way to allow her family to be together whilst waiting for Hayley to find cures for all of them.

Freya is a member of the Mikaelson Family and an unnamed Witch Family.

Early History

 * Early Life
 * Early 1400s
 * 1914

The Middle Ages, 10th Century
Freya was born in the late years of the 10th century to a Viking warrior named Mikael and his wife Esther. Her parents had met after her mother was captured during a Viking raid, and fell in love before marrying. Freya was their first born child. Her birth was a result of a deal her mother made with her aunt, Dahlia, who used magic to make the barren Esther able to have children of her own. She was, according to Esther, the apple of Mikael's eye. However, when she was five, Freya was taken by her aunt as part of Esther's deal when Esther was pregnant with Elijah and her life following that is a mystery. Esther claimed that she was the victim of a plague in order to cover up what she and Dahlia had done, which is what caused Mikael and Esther to move from Norway to a village in a "mystical land" far away in the New World, which was later called Mystic Falls.

They moved there under the advisement of Esther's dear friend and mentor, a witch named Ayana, who told them that the inhabitants were extremely healthy and had increased strength and speed. These villagers were later revealed to be werewolves. In the modern day, Freya was mentioned by Elijah, when he explained to Elena that his mother and father had seven children, and again by Rebekah, when she told Elena the story about how her family ended up in Mystic Falls. Rebekah explained that their parents had lost a child in Europe to the plague, and that later, Esther, Mikael, and Ayana moved to Mystic Falls, where Mikael and Esther eventually had the rest of their children, excluding Finn and Elijah, who were born in the Old World. It was also said that Freya's death is what made Mikael become so cruel and abusive, as she was his favorite child was revealed that Freya had not been killed by the plague, but was instead given to Dahlia as payment for reversing Esther's infertility and allowing her to have her children. The payment was stated that Esther was to give Dahlia Freya, the first born child of each of her children, and every subsequent first born child for as long as Esther's line will last. Dahlia used a spell to increase her power, while also binding Freya's power to Dahlia's. Freya lived under Dahlia for many years, ostensibly as a member of her coven, but in reality, Freya was more of a slave. Dahlia poisoned Freya's mind, telling her that her mother did not want her, and that Dahlia was all she had. When Dahlia learned that Esther had turned her children into the first vampires, and thus ended her bloodline, the weight of carrying on Dahlia's plans fell onto Freya, who swore that she would never fall in love, or have a child, in order to spare any child the fate of being Dahlia's. When Dahlia attempted to cast her pseudo-immortality spell on both of them, Freya at first resisted, only to have Dahlia force it on them. For centuries they existed, slumbering for a century while their aging arrested and their power magnified, to then live for a single year.

Freya met and fell in love with a man named Mathias, and a child was conceived between them. They attempted to escape from Dahlia, however, she easily tracked them down, and placed a death hex on Freya's lover. Depressed and pained, Freya drank from a deadly poison in an attempt to kill both herself and her unborn son, so that they could both be free from Dahlia.

However, much to her horror, she discovered that part of the immortality ritual was a powerful protection spell that prevented them from being killed, however, as the spell was not cast upon Freya's child, he was truly lost, leaving Freya a sobbing mess in Dahlia's arms.

In 1914, she befriended Kol and was his "date" during a Christmas party at the Abattoir to get a glimpse of her family. Rebekah, recognizing Freya as the witch that Kol had brought to the party to accompany him, approached her and insisted that she could do better than Kol. Freya told her that it wasn't really a date before Rebekah made to join the rest of the Mikaelsons and Marcel on the staircase for Klaus' speech. This marked the first time that the two Mikaelson sisters had met in their lives, and Rebekah remained unaware that she had met her older sister until a century later when they both escaped from the witch asylum together. During Klaus' speech, Kol and Freya toasted each other from across the room, but the cheerful and festive night quickly took a dramatic turn when Klaus publicly condemned Kol's treachery and she witnessed Kol getting daggered by Klaus. She later went into the Dowager Fauline Cottage, seeing it as the safest place to be during her century of sleep and because she knew her aunt wouldn't come there.

Powers and Abilities

 * Early Life
 * Dahlia's Curse
 * Post Curse

While Freya was still a child, Dahlia used a brand of Connective Magic which allowed her to draw power from Freya while allowing Freya's power to be augmented. During her early life, Freya experienced difficulties controlling her magic as a result of her maternal lineage, as first-born witches of Dahlia and Esther's bloodline possess devastating amounts of power from a young age. As a result of her heritage, she had the greatest amount of magical potential compared to her other siblings prior to their transformation into vampires. Freya used to  experience episodes when her magic would overwhelm her to the point of creating powerful storms and causing all birds in the area to die, usually when she was overcome by strong emotions such as anger and frustration. During these lapses of control, Dahlia used to sing to her whilst hugging her to calm her down and to lower her heart rate.

Some time later in her young adult life, Dahlia enchanted Freya with a curse that forced her to sleep for a hundred years while amassing an abundant amount of magic and power. Unfortunately, the effects of the curse only allow Freya to be awake and live for a single year before the cycle was repeated. During this period, she would be functionally immortal via a strong protection spell. This is ultimately proven when Freya ingested Dahlia's strongest batch of poison and having her neck  snapped by Klaus. With these enhancements, Freya became more powerful than any conventional witch as she was "Immortal" and still able to perform magic that had been augmented for a hundred years.

While under Dahlia's spell, Freya had proven herself to be an extremely powerful witch, though still feared her aunt, demonstrating the ability to communicate with her sister, Rebekah, through dreams and visions even while she was still technically in her century-long sleep that granted her pseudo-immortality, though she was only days from waking up at the time. She has also shown an affinity for telekinetic spells, including being able to move multiple heavy objects without touching them, even in a state of deep slumber. Since her revival, Freya has exhibited a noteworthy amount of power and skill. She was able to take down multiple members of the Kindred, and later murdered the Harvest girl, Cassie, as punishment for her treachery. With the aid of her talisman, Freya healed Rebekah's broken hand with a non-verbal spell and later accelerated the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Her power is most evidenced after breaking the spell over the Fauline Cottage's doors that has kept countless witches imprisoned for decades with sheer magical force.

Freya was also able to locate her brother, Finn Mikaelson, in spite of being hidden with a cloaking spell. She was also able to locate her niece, Hope, a feat that Rebekah claimed could only be accomplished with the power of a hundred witches. However, after locating Hope, Freya gave Finn her pendant for protection and subsequently killed by their siblings. After his "death" (in Vincent's body), Freya talisman protected his soul from moving on while she healed and resurrect Vincent (who was Finn's host). She would later remove Finn's spirit from the vessel he inhabited, storing him within her talisman yet again.

Freya was able to awaken her desiccated father with a spell that required a minimal amount of blood. Uniquely she performed a non-verbal pain infliction spell by augmenting the frequency of her whistling to the point that it caused Aiden severe pain. Given the sheer amount of magic she possessed, she was able to break apart the cursed shackles that were meant to prevent a witch from using their powers and then instantaneously subdued Klaus by snapping his neck with telekinesis. She would later use a spell of Esther's creation to reach inside Eva Sinclair's mind while drawing on Elijah, and then Klaus, as anchors to mentally project Marcel and Vincent with her subconscious in the hopes  of bringing Rebekah back. She even enchanted a dagger so Vincent could bring it with him on the journey. Another testament to her augmented magic was when she destroyed Esther (who was possessing Lenore's body) with a metamorphosis spell while drawing on her talisman and touching her mother's host's forehead. In doing so, she caused Lenore's body to transform into a few dozen starlings that died shortly after the transformation.

Freya tried a spell with Rebekah to locate Dahlia, and would have succeeded had Rebekah not gained a vision of Dahlia channeling Freya from tactile contact with her. Freya was also knowledgeable in Dahlia's slumber spell and how to reverse it i.e. to bind the three sources of Dahlia's weaknesses (sacred soil from her homeland of Norway, the ashes of her Viking oppressors, and Esther's, not her own, blood of the person that broke Dahlia's heart) in order to create a weapon that would render her killable. in doing so, she had Mikael collect the ingredients she needed and ultimately adapted the spell, twice, in order to kill her.

Freya's skill in locator spells is evident when she managed to locate Hope in the Bayou in hopes of using her as bait against Dahlia. She also easily located the hidden White Oak Stake by using a toothpick in a glass of bourbon to pinpoint its location. She used the same ingredients meant to kill Dahlia in a spell that allowed her to create a "killing field" in the Abattoir that will render Dahlia powerless once she steps foot on it. Freya also easily subdued Marcel, a two-century-old vampire and kept him at bay, via telekinesis. While unable to fight Dahlia's magic directly, Freya easily disrupted Dahlia's spell as soon as the latter's magic was temporarily weakened by the cursed shackles, i.e. by removing the white-oak-dust particles from within her siblings via telekinesis, by causing them to cough up the ashes. Later on, Freya resorted Eva Sinclair's dead body and gave Rebekah the option to inhabit it again, to which she agreed and Freya transferred her spirit into the vessel

Since the death of Dahlia, Freya has had many of her spells and rituals result in failure, implying that the colossal amounts of power she previously possessed disappeared with Dahlia's death as prior to Dahlia's death she had succeeded in most if not all the spells she had cast, though this has not been stated. Her pseudo-immortality was also reversed with Dahlia's death as was confirmed on several occasions and with it, the Slumber Spell. It is, however, possible that Freya still has her massive power though is unable to use it to its full extent, this is due to the possibility of over-exhaustion due to her newly-gained mortality. Neither has been confirmed, though Freya is still able to channel large amounts of power, such as channeling her siblings.

Despite this, Freya was still seen to exhibit magical feats that put her very much ahead of conventional witches. Freya cast a spell that allowed her to send her letter to her younger sister, Rebekah, something a number of witches in the past had done, however, she did it by reaching out to the magic she possessed while possessing Eva. This variant is unique as it did not use fire as a medium but, instead, it makes the letter vanish into thin air.

Freya has shown the ability to not only astral project within the same city, but to also to very distant locations. She displayed this after performing a locator spell on Rebekah, and then visiting her in astral from New Orleans to Africa. In the same episode, the eldest Mikaelson sibling cast a spell (while in astral form) that simultaneously snapped the necks of all vampires surrounding her, proving she is a force to be reckoned with. Later on, Freya tried to cast an offensive spell on Aya, but was countered by the Moroccan Witch who  telekinetically pushed Freya and sent her back to her body in New Orleans. It seemed that Freya couldn't save her sister simply because the Moroccan witch had the element of surprise, which ensured she was the only witch who's power could work in that specific environment.

Her pain infliction spells are more than powerful enough to give Aurora, a thousand-year-old vampire, major headaches, even though Aurora has built an immunity towards pain infliction due to her stay in the Buddhist monastery. This kind of spell also proved to be quite useful in her many encounters with a number of Strix vampires.

Given her instructions under Dahlia, Freya has shown more knowledge in magical affairs when she revealed that a mixture of hibiscus and mugwort is able to counteract any vervain in a person's system. This was confirmed on Tristan who had been consuming vervain for a long time and was immune to any kind of compulsion from an Original. With such a concoction, she made sure that Elijah would be able to compel his progeny without any obstacles, even casting a boundary spell on him to would prevent him from leaving. Freya's knowledge of magic is very extensive, that is effective in aiding her siblings, such as Rebekah, as she attempted to remove the curse put on her with the cursed stake, though she was severely weakened with a special poison from the Strix. With the help of her brother, by channeling Finn's power, using the stake's reversal spell inscribed on the blade, she was able to remove the curse, though it proved to temporary.

Despite her prowess, Freya has easily been overpowered and defeated by witches who have had less than a thousand years of experience than she does, like Alexis (who was a Seer and saw her coming, though), the Moroccan Witch, affiliated with the Strix, and Vincent Griffith, the Regent of the New Orleans witch community. However, she was almost killed by two members of The Strix, lesser vampires than the original vampires and the original hybrid, if it had not been for the intervention of Jackson, she also was unable to locate Rebekah's exact location even while using Elijah's blood.

Despite her talents with spells and rituals, many of Freya's locator spells have resulted in failure, such as searching for Rebekah, Aurora and Camille, all cloaked by the powerful witches in their own right; the Moroccan Witch, Madison, and Vincent (as Regent) respectively. Seemingly this is due to a lack in power as, while channeling powerful sources, she's been able to accomplish powerful spells, one such example being when she channeled Lucien in order to forcefully project herself into the Chambre de Chasse created by the Sisters. Once inside the Chambre, she was able to destroy the totems that bound them there. Freya, with Kol's guidance, was able to cast a spell that located all of Klaus' enemies around the world and tracked their movements, which allowed them to learn that Klaus is being hunted. In response to this, Freya enlisted Kol's help once more to cast a spell that masked Klaus' presence, making anyone looking for him think that he was still in New Orleans.

Another unique feat, she was able to create a barrier between her and Lucien, the newly turned Beast, in order to Finn, Elijah, Vincent, and Matt. Unlike other boundary spells, this was a non-verbal variant that did not use sigils or the bounds of a room to enact, just a hand sign. Later, created a sigil that allowed her to bind, weaken, and inflict excruciating pain (as to boil the blood) on Lucien Castle. While restrained she attempted to cast a spell to rip out his heart however, both spells failed due to the intervention of the Ancestors.

In an attempt to rescue and resurrect Davina, Freya summoned Davina's spirit and bound it to the mortal plane while using a Hand of Glory and channeling Elijah. In order to obtain the magic she needed to reverse the spell that created Lucien, she forcefully channeled Davina in order to tap into the collective ancestral magic of the Ancestors. This spell, however, came at the expense of breaking the boundary that held Davina's spirit, as she served as the connection between the Ancestors and Freya. With this additional, yet stolen magic, she was able to reverse the spell that turned Lucien into the Beast, thus turning him back into an ordinary vampire again. Later, before the ancestral magic dissipated from her, she channeled Alexis' remains in order to re-forecast her prophecy about the Beast. While doing so, she remarked that she barely understood her power and that, even her augmented magic, she was overwhelmed; she claimed that there were too many pieces of the vision and they would fade whenever she got close to something. With Elijah's help, she was able to channel the full prophecy as well as share the vision with him.

Freya, looking for a way to save her family quickly and uniquely, adapts two ancient spells to save her siblings. In order for her spell to work, she utilized Esther's linking spell, binding each sibling, including herself, to Klaus, while she replicated her Aunt Dahlia's immortality slumber spell. She also took a page from Finn's spell book and drew everyone, save Klaus, into a Chambre de Chasse, so that they could be a family while slumbering, in order to escape death (while Klaus lived and suffered). That was the only way to save herself and the others  until Hayley found a cure for their ailments. The slumber spell acts as a protection against all forms of harm; therefore, Elijah and Kol would not die from Marcel's bite, Freya would not succumb to a fatal toxin and Rebekah would not suffer from the insanity hex.

After being awakened from her five-year-long slumber, she continued to perform noteworthy feats of channeling magic. Using her own power, augmented through the use of five dark objects, she managed to create two doses of anti-venom, with the venom from the seven werewolf packs and Klaus' blood, to counteract Marcel's Beast Venom. While her magic was amplified she performed one of the most powerful uses of Pain infliction where she impaired a vampire's ability to heal to the point where it fatally wounded him. Another instance was when she attempted to deconstruct Vincent's spell or to breach it with brute magical strength, she chose the latter by channeling Hayley. She managed to temporarily breach the boundary spell, for mere moments and freed her brother. She continues to excel with channeling as utilized a totem representing the Hollow, in order to channel it and find out what the Hollow was planning to do with her brother and Marcel. Again, she would channel Elijah to break a powerful boundary spell, that with her first attempt was unable to break on her own. This continues to show the stark contrast to her magical strength as from when she was linked to Dahlia as she could not outright destroy this spell, like she did on the boundary spell placed on the dowager's mansion.

Freya also continues to demonstrate her prowess in locator spells and, though she could not pinpoint him outside the city of New Orleans, could still sense Klaus' presence. Freya continues to showcase her in-depth knowledge of magic as she was able to develop an enchantment capable of killing Marcel by combining her blood, Esther's magic, Marcel's venom and Lucien Castle's ashes. She is also well versed in "old magic", as stated by Dominic, when she linked a boundary spell to the beat of her heart. Freya casts an illusion spell on Josh and, unlike the previous spell she and Vincent performed, this glamour spell was physically harmful as the spell took effect. She also devised an intricate spell to disempower and to bind Dominic to a small location in order to torture and gain information from him, going as far to break his protection spells and access his mind. She also uniquely used telekinesis to cause cardiac arrest on Dominic (something that proved to be a reversal of fortune). After her temporary death, she used representational magic to reestablish a protection spell around the Abattoir, ensuring that if she died, the spell could persist.

As the Hollow began to sacrifice Elijah, Freya attempted to call his spirit into her Talisman, like she previously did for Finn. However, during the magical struggle, the Hollow's magic began to block Freya's spell and in the process caused her Talisman (and Elijah's mind, his spirit which was successfully saved) to shatter. With his mind fractured, she devised a spell from her mother's Mind Breaching Spell that allowed her to enter the Talisman and Elijah's mind in an attempt to find and heal his mind. However, maintaining the spell and searching for Elijah proved to be too much of a strain and she lost hold of the spell. By channeling Hope she sent Hayley into Elijah's mind, and later sent Hope, and together, they managed to locate Elijah in his memories and, with Hope, restored his mind and her talisman.

Freya appears to have a wide range of knowledge over many types of magic (i.e. Dark and Sacrificial) and practices (i.e. Representational), both old and conventional forms. She was able to immediately recognize the Hollow's Bone-Bound Boundary spell and knew how to counter it. Freya also recognized that the Hollow was utilizing a totem that augmented her power, mentioning that Dahlia had used them as well when she was up to something particularly awful. Despite the spell she cast to repair Elijah's mind and to restore her talisman, it soon thereafter began to crack. Freya tells Klaus and Hayley that he needed to be resurrected that night, otherwise, they would lose him forever. She channeled the death of the Hollow, as well as Klaus, and successfully healed and resurrected Elijah, his soul returning to his Original body; healed completely of the poison from the enchanted thornbush.

Despite her wide range of knowledge and access to her mother's grimoire collection, she was unable to find a loophole to Vincent plan of separating the Hollow into her immortal siblings. As Vincent's spell ultimately worked, she remains adamant in remaining in New Orleans studying the Hollow's magic, searching for a way to reunite her siblings.

Weaknesses
Freya was a pseudo-immortal witch, twice, when she was linked to her Aunt Dahlia and recently to Klaus. After Dahlia's death, Freya lost her pseudo-immortality and had the typical weaknesses of a witch. Following the current events in the lives of her family, she was linked to her half-brother, Klaus, the anchor to her spell. Upon her awakening, the spell has been broken and again possesses all the standard weaknesses of a witch.

Dahlia

 * Main article: Freya and Dahlia

The relationship between Dahlia and Freya has been strained and complicated for nearly a thousand years. In an attempt to have children, Esther Mikaelson was forced to give Freya to Dahlia in exchange for Dahlia helping Esther birth other children. For the next several centuries, Dahlia and Freya were together. Freya felt as if she was a prisoner to Dahlia after slumbering for every hundred years just to have a year of life, in order to gain more magical power. Freya finally decided that she was tired of living under Dahlia and she defected to the side of her Mikaelson siblings. Dahlia felt betrayed by this action when they reunited after slumbering in isolation for nearly a century. However, after Freya helps her siblings kill Dahlia and Esther, Freya was able to live a normal, free life as a witch without Dahlia's forced servitude.

Finn Mikaelson

 * Main article: Freya and Finn

Ever since childhood, Finn and Freya have shared a close relationship for nearly centuries. Finn originally thought that Freya was dead, and he mourned for her still even after not seeing her for centuries. However, after awakening from a century's slumber, Freya reunites herself with Finn while he was in Vincent Griffith's body. After seeing how Finn attempted to kill Hope Mikaelson, she locked his soul away in a talisman to keep him from hurting the family or himself. During the third season, Freya was able to  resurrect Finn and reunite him with the rest of their family. However, Finn is shortly killed by Lucien Castle and currently, Freya mourns her brother's loss with the rest of her siblings.

Niklaus Mikaelson

 * Main article: Klaus and Freya

The relationship between Freya and Klaus started rocky. Klaus mistrusted her the first moment he met her, even after Freya proved to be who she said she was. As revenge for Klaus mistreating her badly, she promised to make the rest of the Mikaelson siblings turn against Klaus, which is successful being Klaus attempts to prove himself to his siblings. However, after Freya is forced to try to kill Klaus and Marcel, she states in near-tears that she doesn't want to kill either of them. After Dahlia's death, Klaus finally accepts Freya as his half-sister and they become close as siblings,

Keelin

 * "Freya: I kept thinking about everything that I didn't tell you... Everything that I feel for you. Keelin: What is it that you feel about me, Freya Mikaelson?"
 * —Freya and Keelin

Initially, the relationship between Freya and Keelin was originally that of a Warden and her Prisoner since Freya needed Keelin's venom to make the cure to Marcel's bite that would kill members of her family. While captive, they became friends while they worked together to create a weapon that would be able to kill Marcel. With the completion of the weapon, the pair grew closer, hanging out and opening up to each other, eventually developing feelings for each other. After Freya's brush with death, she admitted her feelings and kissed Keelin. Later, the Hollow enters Freya's mind and capitalizes on her greatest fear, which was Keelin dying and the latter's blood on her hands. This prompted Freya to talk to Keelin about how much she really does care for her, which leads to the relationship becoming sexual.

After seven years when the Mikaelsons separated from each other with a piece each of the Hollow's soul, Freya and Keelin are still together. However, they are in a somewhat long distance relationship with Freya remaining in New Orleans trying to find a way to reunite her siblings and with Keelin away from the United States aiding others in need of medical attention. After a brief breakup during the last season, Freya and Keelin reunite at Hayley's funeral and decide to make time for each other despite not being together anymore. However, Freya realizes that she cannot live without Keelin by her side and asks Keelin to marry her. Both in tears of joy, Keelin accepts Freya's marriage proposal and they share an intimate moment together. On their wedding day, Freya makes the sudden decision to not have children with Keelin because of her fear of what would happen to their future child. This alarms and hurts Keelin deeply, but after having a talk with Rebekah, Freya tearfully accepts to have a future family with Keelin. The two then marry as planned and become wives. At the end of the series, Freya first asks Vincent to be the biological father of their future baby. At first he says "no," but later changes his mind. Freya and Keelin are last seen embracing Vincent crying tears of joy that they have the chance at a raising a family altogether.

Name

 * Freya is a feminine name of Nordic origin (freɪə). The name means "lady". It stems from Norse mythology, Freyja the goddess of love, beauty, war, and death.[2] (In Ancient Norse: ᚠᚱᛖᛃᚨ ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ).
 * If Freya was to truly follow Norse traditions, her surname should technically be Mikaelsdotter (daughter of Mikael) as oppose to Mikaelson (son of Mikael).

Trivia

 * Her "death" caused Esther and Mikael to move to the New World, to the village that later became known as Mystic Falls.
 * Her aunt kidnapping her all because of a deal she made with Esther is a nod to the fairy tale about Rumpelstiltskin, although there is a small difference; in the fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin takes the baby right after it is born, whereas Dahlia didn't take Freya as payment until several years after she was born.
 * The loss of Freya was the reason of why Mikael became so cruel in his grief, and so her loss was an indirect cause of the affair between Esther and Ansel.


 * There are parallels between Freya's life and that of her niece, Hope:
 * Both births were originally thought to be impossible; Esther was first barren, and Klaus' vampirism should have made him unable to reproduce; it was only due to the fact that Klaus was a werewolf who was turned into a vampire/hybrid by magic that he was able to conceive a child with a fellow werewolf, while Esther convinced her sister to cast a spell that would make her fertile.
 * They are both the firstborn of their generation, and they are both female. They also both have witch ancestry from their mother/paternal grandmother, Esther.
 * Freya was taken away from her parents by her aunt Dahlia, while Hope was given to her aunt Rebekahby her parents to keep her safe.
 * Both were separated from their parents under pretense of death, while only a select few knew what really happened to them; only Esther, Dahlia and Finn knew that Freya didn't die of the plague, and only Hayley, Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah knew that Hope didn't die shortly after her birth.


 * She seems to have a disparaging view of her brothers, as she notes that Rebekah's far better than them. However, she still seems to have some loyalty to Finn, as she helped him find Hope, in order to ensure that Dahlia could not come.
 * She states that she was in a century-long slumber because of a spell her aunt casted to preserve their beauty and youth. They would sleep, un-aging for a century, then wake for a year, before repeating the cycle over and over.
 * She claims that she despises traitors, yet specifically calls what happened between her and Dahlia as a betrayal of her aunt. Either she is as hypocritical as her siblings, or there is more to her tale that she has chosen not to disclose.
 * Her personality seems to shift slightly, depending on which member of her family she is facing. it is revealed that Freya has achieved a form of pseudo-immortality, as Dahlia's magic prevents her from aging during the century of slumber, and also acts as a powerful protection spell, allowing her to escape death.


 * As Freya is still able to practice magic, it can be presumed that she still ages during her year of life, and is still capable of dying a natural death of old age.
 * It is revealed Freya hates Dahlia because she believes Dahlia is responsible for her baby's death.


 * Freya is the third person to have killed Esther, the other two being Klaus and Alaric.


 * Freya shares some similarities with Katerina Petrova:
 * Both were born in Europe and migrated to America centuries later.
 * Both are witches however Katerina didn't reveal her Travelers status until after she got The Cure.
 * Both can use their magic to cheat death, Freya with the aging-circumventing spell and Katerina with the passenger spell.
 * Both got pregnant out of wedlock and lost their child because of one of their family members in some way.
 * Both were to be used in order for relatives of Esther to increase their power (Esther's sister Dahlia tried to use Freya to increase her magic and Esther's son Klaus tried to use Katherine to become a hybrid).
 * Both escaped and have been on the run ever since.
 * Both have committed suicide.
 * Both were thought to be dead.
 * Both have been separated from their family for a long time, but are eventually reunited.
 * They were both immortal in some point in their lives.

This makes Freya the second Mikaelson to be compared to Klaus. Damon referred to Rebekah as 'Barbie Klaus' many times
 * With Dahlia now dead, she is currently mortal.
 * It was Freya who clearly explained the source of Dark Magic, she called it a "Dark Power that can only come from a place of massacre."
 * There is a division in the fandom on whether Freya still has her augmented power levels or not, as she's shown to be very much weaker in comparison to the previous season, and since she has lost every enhancement she had while Dahlia was alive, now that Dahlia is dead, it points to her also losing said power-levels, this being said, it has not been stated but only implied so still remains open to debate.
 * It is implied by Michael Narducci that Freya still retains her immense power but is not able to use it as freely as she did in Season 2 due to fear of over-exhaustion.
 * Riley Voelkel referred to Freya as 'a female Klaus'.
