Description
Freida is a young girl with light rose-colored hair, brown eyes, and a petite stature caused by the Devouring illness stunting her growth. Her fluffy hair and peaceful smile contribute to an overall cute appearance. By Part 4, her growth normalizes to match her peers. Trained in noble etiquette for an anticipated future in the Noble's Quarter, she presents a mature and formal demeanor. Beneath this polish lies a sharp, ambitious merchant mindset, with keen instincts for spotting overlooked opportunities. She becomes assertively straightforward in profit-driven negotiations, loving money as intensely as Myne loves books. Her hobbies include counting, saving, and admiring wealth.

Born with the life-threatening Devouring, Freida shares this condition with Myne. Her grandfather Gustav, guildmaster of Ehrenfest's Merchant Guild, uses his wealth and connections to procure magic tools sustaining her life. He arranges multiple noble contracts or adoptions but honors Freida's wish to remain a merchant by choosing Lord Henrik—a gentle, respectful layscholar. Their contract requires Henrik to supply a mana-draining bracelet until Freida turns 15, necessitating regular mansion visits to discharge accumulated mana. At adulthood, she will become his mistress and open a shop in the Noble's Quarter.

Freida first meets Myne after commissioning a hair ornament inspired by Tuuli's. Discovering Myne also has the Devouring, she actively pursues friendship. When Myne collapses, Freida intervenes by selling her a broken magic tool, saving her life while incurring a substantial debt. During Myne's recovery at the guildmaster's residence, Freida explains her contractual path as the sole survival option, bewildered by Myne's refusal of a similar noble contract to stay with her family. Their shared activities include baking pound cake, which Freida purchases exclusive rights to sell for one year. Post-baptism, Freida begins her Merchant's Guild apprenticeship.

Later, following Myne's attempted abduction, Freida and Gustav review Merchant Guild contracts, confirming Myne's survival and new identity as Rozemyne. Freida deduces Rozemyne's true identity independently, initiating a business partnership as co-signer for the Italian restaurant. She secures exclusive recipes like fluffy bread directly from Rozemyne.

Freida considers Myne her first and closest friend—a sentiment unreciprocated, as Myne's final blessing never reached her. Observers like Lutz note their similarities: outwardly cute yet internally unconventional, single-minded in their obsessions, and both afflicted by the Devouring. Freida enjoys social engagements like tea parties with female friends. Gustav views her as his most similar descendant, noting their identical business phrases.

Early story drafts featured Freida assisting Myne and Tuuli with paper-making, but this labor-intensive role was reassigned to Lutz. She maintains a competitive business rivalry with Benno over access to Myne's inventions and recipes.
