Freya had been traumatized by her curse, both physically and mentally. She hated herself, even called herself a monster, for being a Bastet. She desperately wanted to be normal. Merlin made her feel safe and protected. She was nervous and shy and had a hard time trusting anyone. Despite her fragile exterior, she was strong and independant. Merlin made her feel special and they fell in love, she trusted him. Freya was loyal to the people she cared about, even returning from the dead to fulfill a promise she'd made to Merlin. She was also selfless and didn't want Merlin to give up his life in Camelot for her sake.

As the Bastet, she was a ruthless killer. She had no control over this though and never meant to harm anyone. However, she did not attack Merlin when she transformed, proving their bond was stronger than the curse. Freya was grateful to Merlin for loving her and promised to repay him someday even though she was dying. As the Lady of the Lake, Freya is stronger than ever. She feels free, even though she is confined to the lake. Her magic seems to grow stronger, even though she is dead.

.:Occupation:.Lady of the Lake
.:Current Location of Residence:. The Lake of Avalon
.:History:. Freya had lived in a beautiful place with mountains, trees, and a lake before coming to Camelot. A sorcerer had attacked her one day and she killed him in self defence. The sorcerer's mother then cursed her to become a Bastet, a monster that resembled a panther with bat-like wings, on the stroke of midnight every night. As the Bastet she had an insatiable desire to kill that she couldn't control. She was then cast out of the Druid society.

Freya was captured by the bounty hunter, Halig, and taken to Camelot. Merin freed her and hid her in the underground catacombs. He brought her food and told her about his magic. The two fell in love. Her curse resulted in four deaths when she transformed during her stay in Camelot. Merlin had planned to leave Camelot with her but she would not let him. He brought her one of Morgana's dresses to wear. Though she said she would go with him, she attempted to escape on her own. She was then cornered by Halig and Arthur's knights just before her transformation. She killed Halig, however Arthur managed to wound her in her beast form. Merlin caused a distraction and she was able to escape. She met Merlin down in the catacombs, she was fatally wounded. Merlin took her to the nearby lake and she died in his arms. She thanked him for making her feel loved and she promised to repay him someday. Merlin gave her a lovely funeral in a little boat, still wearing Morgana's dress.

When Merlin met The Fisher King, he gave him a gift. The king gave him water from the Lake of Avalon, the same lake Freya was laid to rest in. The king spoke prophetically that "Albion's time of need is near and in that dark hour you must be strong for you alone can save her." He said Merlin wouls need the help which he was giving as well. He then handed him the bottle. After Morgana and Morgause took over Camelot, Merlin attempted to use his magic on the water but it was no use. Then he accidentally dropped the bottle, breaking the glass. He thought he'd just lost Albion's last hope. However, the water glowed and formed a puddle in a rock crevice. When the water settled, Freya's face was shown in the water. Merlin was shocked, but delighted to see her. She told him that she missed him, but time was short and she couldn't explain how she'd become the Lady of the lake. She informed him that only Excalibur could destroy Morgause's immortal army and told him that she would give him the sword to repay him for all he'd done for her. When Merlin traveled to the Lake of Avalon, she gave him the sword though only her arm emerged from the lake.

Freya had waited so long for the day she would be free from her curse and able to live better. She hadn't figured it would work out like this exactly but she was glad to be free. She never wished to harm anyone and she'd hated herself when she was alive, or at least hated the Bastet. She knew she couldn't have controlled it but she wished she could take it all back somehow. She wished she could somehow get her life back.

At least she was alive, somehow, and she was thankful for that. Although it wasn't much of a life being the Lady of the Lake. She had a destiny to fulfill and she knew this was it. She did miss her old life, or at least parts of it, and she wished she could really be alive again.
