Freida

Freida (フリーダ Furiida) is the granddaughter of Gustav, the guildmaster of Ehrenfest's Merchant's Guild.

Freida is a very cute girl with brown eyes, a peaceful smile, and light, rose-colored hair that Myne describes as “as fluffy as it is soft-looking.” Due to her illness, she is small for her age.

Freida has a mature and dignified demeanor, partly because she was required to learn formal etiqutte in preparation for moving to the Nobles’ Quarter.

Inwardly, however, she is an ambitious merchant with a keen nose for profit. She has a knack for seeing opportunities that are overlooked by others. When money is at stake, Freida often becomes aggressive and straightforward, forgetting her demure demeanor.

Like Myne, Freida was born with the Devouring and was a sickly child. Her grandfather Gustav was determined to save her life, and he used his vast wealth and connections as the leader of the Merchant's Guild to buy magic tools that could prolong her lifespan.

Eventually, he succeeded in signing a contract with Henrik, a laynoble. According to the terms of the contract, Freida will be provided with a magic tool to suppress her mana until she comes of age at 15. She will then become Henrik’s mistress and live in the Nobles’ Quarter, where she plans to continue working as a merchant and open up a store.
