Azgeda Nation .:Family:. Skadi (Mother) and Ullr (Father) .:Occupation:. She was once a known huntress apart of the Azgeda Nation .:History:.Ever known somebody who was said to be kissed by fire? Freyja of the Azgeda Nation is one of the few women who are said to be kissed by the burning fires of a flame because of the distinguishing long fiery red hair that falls like flames to her shoulders. Freyja is a born child of Azgeda, her parents working alongside the Queen in the defenses of their nation. Freyja’s parents were known as well in Azgeda, especially her father who was known to be a great hunter and tracker of their village, he and some others were often sent to find food and supplies for the villages. Skadi was her mother and her father was known as Ullr, which were very, very ancient names in the culture of Azgeda. Freyja’s parents heritage actually held deep ties in Azgeda, which was one of the reasons why their families were so well known because their bloodline were a part of the first settlement in Azgeda.
Already, Freyja was held up in high-regard because both her parents were extradinary hunters and warriors, both were extremely talented in the arts of the hunt. Skadi, her mother, was probably the best at handling a bow and her father was seasoned at his hunting skills. Safe to say that Freyja would have to work even harder than the next to show that she can be better than her parents, even when they set the bar high. Skadi wanted her child’s name to have some meaning to it, but Ullr wanted to name their daughter something brawn and strong, though in the end Skadi would have won as she gave birth to a baby girl. Skadi would name her beautiful young girl ‘Freyja’, which is an ancient word for ‘Lady, and the reason for her naming her baby a word that means lady was because she wanted her child to grow in grace and beauty. Skadi believed in her child to be beautiful, graceful, polite, and having all the qualities of a ‘lady’. Although, the environment they currently lived in made Skadi have wishful thinking.
When Freyja was born, she was born different from both her father and mother, nobody knows if it was from the radiation of the world or inherited from her families’ ancient genes that could have caused wild differences. Instead dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, the fair-skinned baby had crystalline-blue eyes and fiery red hair. There was no one to describe her as one of the mutated, so her people embraced the young babe as being blessed, and Skadi believed it to be so as she wished her child with such beauty and graze, which is why she named Freyja with the meaning of 'lady'. Freyja was a pretty child, some thought she was too pretty to be a warrior like her mother and father were, great hunters in the field. As a child and into her adult years, she was nicknamed," She who was kissed by flames," because of her fiery red hair that symbolizes her fierceness, boldness, and beauty.
When Freyja grew up she became what her mother wanted and that was a beautiful and smart woman, but she never wanted to be just seen as a lady who was always nice and compliant. Freyja was a fighter and she against her mother every time she tried to keep her away from the field, for example instead of training to be a hunter her mother wanted her to be a healer because the village would always need skilled healers. Although, where that is necessary, Freyja didn't see herself as a healer, she saw herself like her mother and her father, she saw herself as a hunter and a warrior for her people. She knew she had strenght and she knew she had power, therefore she wasn't going to hide it. Both her parents, Skadi being more reluctant, recognized that in their daughter, Ullr has always pushed for their daughter to have a place as a warrior, but it was here mother who held a firm belief in her being otherwise. Soon Skadi had to give into Freyja becoming a hunter, when she learned that it was Ullr teaching their young daughter behind her back, but when she saw how skilled Freyja was, Skadi couldn't deny her the happiness she craved for.
Skadi okayed their daughter to train being a hunter and that both parental figures would teach their daughter, before she would work to join Azgeda's group of hunters. When Freyja grasped the bow and readied an arrow, the overall feeling felt natural as if she was supposed to do that, of course when she first slung an arrow it didn't hit perfectly on a target, but with more and more practice she soon to be equal of that of her parents. When Ullr and Skadi were satisfied with their daughter's abilities in archery, Ullr took Freyja out into the world, outside of Azgeda. The tundratic forest is a forested area, but it is covered in snow when its winter, but you may see soil int he spring or summer. When her father took her out to train it was during the winter months, when the snow has already kissed the surface of the Earth, and the trials of survival began. Ullr showed Freyja all the possible growing, edible, plants that Azgeda has to offer, though it took a few years before Freyja had learned them all, including the more poisonous, and other plants that's further south in the Forest Clan territory.
Another lesson would be how to track various animals in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Some animals were merely for hunting and others are to know of their existence and know how to evade them, when its possible. Freyja learned the difference in tracks of animals, knowing whether it was a bear or not, how long the animal passed through, which could be determined by the scat an animal leaves behind. Normally, Ullr would have Freyja out tracking deer, which would take several hours before they would be successful in finding some, but not every time do they find deer. Hunting is an art that's not always fruitful. Eventually, Freyja learned to be a well-rounded huntress, later in her life she was admitted into the service of the Queen and worked as one of the hunters to go out for food.
Soon, Freyja, daughter of Skadi and Ullr, would be too famous amongst Azgeda, her famous bloodline continuing to be a well respected set of people. Although, Freyja is not one to just follow the rules of those who she thinks is immoral, and she believes that their leadership, Queen Nia, is quite immoral. The immorality of Azgeda was really what made her leave it, and leaving her home brought great shame to her family, making most of their reputation a void. Freyja knew she couldn't go back or she would face heavy consequences for deserting her people, which would probably be seen a terrible act to do. Since she left Azgeda, Freyja has been traveling between the North and the South, tracking and hunting animals for her own survival. She has made several rest stops that are either inside a hollowed tree or somewhere she could set up camp. Most times she has to keep moving to avoid being found, if they were looking for her, but she doesn't want to risk being caught by anybody. | ~ • ~ | Member Info | ~ • ~ | .:Name or Online Alias:.Jay .:How Did You Find Us:.
