Freya Crescent is a playable character from Final Fantasy IX. She is Burmecian, a race of anthropomorphic rats who live in two cities, Burmecia and Cleyra.

She is voiced by Ai Orikasa in the Japanese version.

Overview

A Burmecian Dragon Knight, Freya left her homeland five years ago to search for her lost love, Sir Fratley, who set out to hone his skills but never returned. It was during these last few years that she met and befriended Zidane as she continued her search across the Mist Continent — eventually meeting him again in Lindblum during the Festival of the Hunt. However, when she learns that her kingdom is being invaded by an army of mages wearing "steeple-crowned hats," Freya returns to try and stop the invasion, with Zidane, Vivi, (and possibly Quina) accompanying her. However, it appears that the invading army is much more sinister than expected, prompting Freya to join Zidane's party in their search to uncover the truth.

Story

Freya was once a dragon knight in the Kingdom of Burmecia, whose sole duty was to protect the King and his family. Freya worked often with fellow dragon knight and lance user Fratley. They fell in love, and remained that way, until Fratley decided he needed to train in order to better protect his home. He left Burmecia, traveling the world. Freya often heard rumors of his death, but never believed them. She meets Zidane Tribal and the party while they are in Lindblum, attending (and participating in) the Festival of the Hunt.

After the festival, a near-dead Burmecian soldier arrives bearing news of an attack on Freya's home. She joins the party, intent on saving her home and protecting the King. The party is too late for Burmecia, but they learn the King and other Burmecians are hiding away in the sandstorm fortress of Cleyra. While in Cleyra to protect the people, Fratley returns, with no memory of who he is or who Freya is. Freya is devastated, but doesn't give up hope, helping save Princess Garnet from the Queen's treachery, and buying time to let them escape. In the end, she helps defeat Necron, and save the world. During the last scenes, it shows Freya and Fratley (with his memories recovered) as they decide to rebuild Burmecia together.

Personality

Freya is a skilled and powerful dragon warrior with a sharp mind, but her longing for her lost love burdens her. She is humble and friendly, as seen when she speaks to Eiko or Vivi. She can also joke around with Zidane, saying she will "kick his butt" in the pub in Lindblum because he's flirting with girls. As a dragon knight, she can put aside her doubts and join forces with others when necessary, even teaming up with her enemy Beatrix at one point.
