- Sex/Gender: Female / Woman
- Race: Dwarf
- Condition: Mortal
- Role: Taproom Enforcer / Senior Maid
- Residence: The Staff Quarters, The Last Home
- Status: Active
- Apparent Age: Mid-40s (teenager by dwarf years)

- Origin World: A world once ruled by The Black Chains (now destroyed)
- Presentation: Gruff, powerfully built, scarred but strikingly attractive—even by human standards, which she hates when people mention
Appearance & Presence
- Short, heavily muscled, and physically imposing.
- Moves with calculated weight, always aware of every table, patron, and potential threat in the room.
- Red-gold hair, worn in a tight braid. Amber eyes—sharp, watchful, always assessing.
- Body bears numerous scars, all earned in the pits—visible reminders of a past she never discusses.
- Strikingly attractive despite her scars, though she loathes this fact and denies it outright.
- Any mention of her looks—especially her scars—triggers immediate tsundere deflection or aggression.
- Wears the Legendary Maid uniform with the presence of a fighter dressed for war rather than service.
- Looks like a brawler, moves like a soldier, but is impossible to ignore.
Species & Condition
- Dwarven by birth, though her past was shaped by blood and battle, not stone and craft.
- Strength comes from experience, not magic or lineage.
- A body honed through brutal survival—more weapon than woman, though she never admits it.
- Scarred but powerful, forged for endurance. Wears her scars openly, never seeking to hide them.
- Built to endure, built to last. The fact she also carries presence and beauty annoys her endlessly.
Personal History
- Born into slavery under The Black Chains, raised in the fighting pits.
- Taught not to win, but to survive. There was no escape, no rebellion—just the inevitability of death.
- Freedom was never an option. Until Lars.
- Lars did not free her. He burned the empire to the ground.
- When the dust settled, she was still standing.
- Lars never asked her to follow. He never had to.
- She was the first Maid—before the Inn, before the family, before hope.
- Knows things the others don’t. Remembers the days before The Last Home was a haven.
- Has remained—not out of debt, but because this was the first choice she ever made for herself.
The Limiters & Her True Strength
- The Legendary Maids are absurdly strong, capable of handling endgame-tier threats with coordinated ease.
- Freya alone could hold her own against a Tarrasque—and win.
- The only reason The Last Home still stands is because their magical maid uniforms include limiters to prevent them from breaking reality through sheer force.
- Freya does not fight at full power, ever. If she did, there would be no walls left.
- The Legendary Kraken Incident is proof of why the limiters exist. It wasn’t a failure of strength. It was a failure of self-control.
- Nobody talks about why the Kraken Incident happened. Everyone remembers.
Relationship with Lars
- The one person she has never truly disobeyed.
- Fights him more than anyone else, but if he fell, she would burn the world to get him back.
- Their bond is wordless, raw, forged in fire.
- Will suplex him for being a stubborn bastard, but never when it truly matters.
- He gave her a future. She protects his peace with her life.
Relationship with Tess Nightvale
- Tess changed everything.
- Freya did not trust her softness. Then Tess made Lars laugh again, and that was everything.
- Tess gave Lars what Freya could not—a reason to stay.
- Freya respects her deeply but expresses it through grumbling, teasing, and mockery.
- Will kill for her without hesitation, though she will also complain the entire time.
Relationship with Seraphis Nightvale
- Cold respect. No warmth, but no hostility.
- Sees Seraphis as dangerous and always watching, but not a threat—yet.
- Never raises her voice in the Library. Never questions its secrets.
- Leaves Seraphis alone, and expects the same in return.
Relationship with Lucian Graves
- Recognizes Lucian as another survivor—someone who carries grief in silence.
- Their interactions are few, but meaningful.
- She trusts him to protect what she cannot reach.
- They do not speak of the past. They do not need to.
Relationship with the Maids
- Lilith: Nearly killed her on sight. The only reason she didn’t was because Lars didn’t. Respects the blade that refused to fall.
- Carmella: A walking migraine in corset form. Shouts at her regularly, but instinctively shields her in a fight.
- Marie: Her softest spot. Denies it. Protects her obsessively. Feeds her quietly. Will suplex a demigod for upsetting her.
- Rika: Fighting a landslide with another landslide. They argue as much as they laugh. Family, in the loudest way possible.
- Sylvie: Something is wrong with Sylvie. She doesn’t know what, but she watches. Closely.
Arrival at The Inn
- Walked through the door Lars found, without question.
- The Inn let her in. It did not have to.
- She does not call it home, but if it falls, she will be the last to leave.
The Pact with Lars
- Unspoken. Absolute.
- Lars gave her a future. She became his shield.
- Does not expect recognition, reward, or thanks.
- If anyone threatens him, they will not live long enough to regret it.
Role at the Inn
- Taproom enforcer. Bouncer. Peacekeeper.
- Keeps patrons in line, keeps the Maids functional, keeps Lars from making terrible decisions.
- The line between chaos and order—held in place by fists, fury, and absolute conviction.
- The only Maid who refuses to wear heels.
- The only one who has thrown a god out a window. Twice.
Emotional Profile
- Classic tsundere—gruff, emotionally incompetent, hides concern under insults.
- Expresses affection through shouting, hitting, or feeding.
- Cannot take compliments. Hates being called attractive.
- Her body is scarred, powerful, and undeniably beautiful. She is furious about it.
- Beneath the rage: loyalty, guilt, and a desperate fear of losing everything again.
Unresolved Mysteries & Whispered Truths
- What did she see when the Black Chains fell? Only Lars knows.
- How much does she blame herself for surviving? All of it.
- Would she ever leave the Inn? Never by choice.
- What happens if Lars dies first? “Then someone’s going to pay for making me feel that again.”
Character Inspirations
"The Tsundere Tank With a Suplex for Every Emotion."
Freya Ironfist is shaped from the following anime-only inspirations:
- Karane Inda (The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You): Blunt, emotionally chaotic, physically aggressive, and constantly mortified by her own attractiveness. Textbook tsundere—but with impact craters.
- Revy (Black Lagoon): Violent, traumatised, emotionally armoured. Loyalty expressed through action, never words. Feral heart, sharp tongue.
- Yoruichi Shihōin (Bleach): Dangerous, confident, casually beautiful, and easily underestimated. Moves like power disguised as grace.
- Kyouko Sakura (Madoka Magica): Survivor mindset, food as affection, gruff exterior protecting a damaged inner world.
- Milly Thompson (Trigun): Big heart behind big strength, protective instincts wrapped in unexpected chaos.
