CS:
Full Name: Freja Alfhildsson
Alias/Assassin name: Shieldmaiden
Age: 22
Position: Combat teacher
Personality: Cold, strict and calculating at first glance, but towards her friends she is outgoing, loyal and humorous (although some say her jokes are a bit corny). It isn't easy to gain her trust however. She treats her students in the same way she treats others; serious but with respect. She demands their full commitment to her classes. But in return, she tries her very best to keep the classes interesting and instructive. Besides that, she finds a great pride in her Swedish roots and if you get her started on the subject, she can talk for hours about Swedish nature, culture, people, weopons etc. etc. etc.
Skills: She is very skilled in all kinds of weapons, but prefers the use of a bow or throwing knifes. Besides that, she has a vast knowledge of how to use various poisons to reach the best result. Crafting these poisons however is something Freya never excelled at. But if you have troubles on how to use your ax, shuriken, pontier, glaive, (assassin's) blade or poisons, she's the one you should talk to.
Weapons: Bow, poison, throwing knifes. She is also trained by her family in the typical Scandinavian art of using a large shield and sword. But since that isn't too practical being an assassin, she doesn't usually use them nor teach about that unless requested. Besides that, she has basic knowledge of judo and ninjutsu but she prefers to have some weapons within reach.
Powers: Freya is just a human, except for her extremely fast reaction time, stealthy movement and her exceptional ability to hide herself (not on the level to be a stealth and operations teacher, but still she's good).
Background: Freja is originally from Sweden, born into an old noble family that owns a few successful companies (no, not Ikea). From a young age she was trained in the traditional ways of war, but also in poetry, English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian. Her mother at first planned for her to become a business delegate. After they discovered her talent for weapons however, she was sent to the Assassins' Academy in England to expand the family's foreign influence and perhaps to be of later use at the age of 12. There she studied and felt truly at home for the first time. After she finished her education at the age of 20, she decided to apply to the job of teacher, against the will of her parents. This is her second year of teaching and she still enjoys it to the fullest.
Allies: The Alfhildsson family, although their ties are a bit strained after she didn't return to Sweden.
Family: Her parents, older brother Ragnar and younger sister Arnfríðr
Other: She usually wears a serious, focussed expression on her face and her long blonde hair is braided. She braids it and ties it into a knot when teaching and wears it as a simple loose braid when she's off duty.
After she came to England, she discovered a rebellious side of herself which had previously been suppressed by her parents' strict rule. After eight years however, she has lost most of that.... most....
