Other Characters; N/A


IC Information;
Character Name; Freyr
Canon; Matantei Loki (Mythical Detective Loki) and Matantei Loki Ragnarok, Manga verse. I would like to point out that though there are similarities between the anime and manga the manga goes in a vastly different direction and has different character development as well as portrayal. The anime is much more subdued than the manga and keeps a more serious tone through it (though still humorous) than the manga. http://detectiveloki.wikia.com/wiki/Mythical_Detective_Loki_Ragnarok and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Detective_Loki_Ragnarok and http://mangafox.me/manga/matantei_loki/v06/c025/1.html

Canon Point; Vol 3 of Ragnarok after Loki fights Utgard Loki in the game of life.
Age; Thousands of years, looks mid/late 20s.

House; Freyr, after all he's the god Freyr, he also likes making things and drawing.
Power; Drawing Life

Personality;
Freyr isn't an overly complex character but he comes up with rather complex and pointless plots. He heavily prefers theatrics and dramatics. The more convoluted it is, the more he likes it. This could be because of his romantic nature and the sorts of things that tend to be romanticized. This basic trait can easily be seen by the fact he has decided his human world persona would be a Phantom Thief. His reasoning for this was because Loki was acting as a detective, and since he would be Loki's rival, and a phantom thief is a detectives rival, he would become one himself. Of course his reasons for being up against Loki are paper thin, and half the time he seems to be more playing a role than using the role for a particular goal.

Another example of his over exaggerated romanticism is his falling in love with Mayura, Loki the main characters assistant, at first sight. He decides from this one off encounter that she is the perfect Japanese woman and from that moment on (despite learning her name and hearing it many times) calls her Yamato Nadeshiko. He is determined to steal her heart and marry her. He pretty much forgot everything else he was doing after this, which was pretty much one of the first things that happened after he was introduced.

Besides having ridiculous ideas of romanticism and defining his life as if he were living a play or was a character in a fictional novel Freyr is also pretty air headed. It's hard to say if he's outright stupid, because he is capable of some clever things (though perhaps creative is the more appropriate word for it), however lots of simple things confuse him, he is quick to distraction and seems to be incapable of taking anything very serious for very long. On the other hand he will take stupid things no one should seriously and can't let go of it. The only thing he does take legitimately serious is his sister Freya and her safety. But even then he has shown to forget about her and his worry about her frequently.

Originally Freyr teamed up with Heimdall who was ordered by Odin to put a Rune on Loki so he could not return to Asgard and pretty much make Loki's life hell and horrible. But this was all Heimdall's idea as there was a grudge between them. Odin also ordered Heimdall to deal with Loki. Freyr's only concern was the fact that Freya was said to be on Earth somewhere and potentially a target of Loki's. Worried that his precious sister would get corrupted by the trickster god he wanted to find her and save her before Loki could do something wrong.

In the end Freya is fine (and is in love with Loki so she doesn't like people attacking him), Freyr the moment he sees she's okay is fine with it and then carries on as usual. It was pretty much a "Oh hey there you are Freya, I'm glad you're okay! Now back to stalking Yamato Nadeshiko and being a Phantom Thief!" which sums up his general flow of personality pretty well.

Freyr is what most would call a ditz, in fact he and his sister are frequently referred to as the "stupid siblings" because they are so dingy most the time. However despite this Freyr somehow is capable of many great feats, he is considered a hero of the gods for a reason. So usually even if it might be in a fumbling sort of manner Freyr manages to succeed with his goals. However his goals in canon are not succeed. (Though his thieving are successful despite the fact he doesn't get far with this items, usually given them to Mayura before he escapes.) Mostly this is because his first goal is to keep Loki in Midgard, though he doesn't seem particularly interested in that so he doesn't take it seriously. The other is to win Mayura's heart, which Mayura doesn't seem to notice very well.

For the most part Freyr is a joke character, every so often he might say something mysterious and serious, or even look the part, but it never lasts. He's very easy going and self absorbed and doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to things he doesn't personally care about. (Though he may remember them somewhere down the line.) He's demonstrated as a contrast to Freya who is mostly on top of things and much more cunning in her plots, though still capable of being flighty and silly in her own way. But there is a reason Freya is more or less in charger after Ragnarok and not Freyr.

We do get to see a slightly more serious and capable Freyr later in the series, but those chapters have not been translated and I do not know the circumstances so I won't mention what it means here. If I were to guess it's simply aspects that coincide with the fact he is capable when he wants to be and puts his mind to it. He is a hero and a great warrior after all.

One of Freyr's strengths is in his ability to be optimistic and pursue his beliefs and desires without letting others get in his way. In fact no matter what other people say or do it won't change his mind once he's decided on something. His conviction is something to be admired in this respect. This is best illustrated in his pursuit of Mayura, who no matter what he doesn't give up on despite the fact she obviously doesn't think of him in a romantic way like he does of her.

He is also known for being rather skilled as a warrior and the best at Runes out of all the gods. Even Loki who is known for his skill with Runes states that Freyr surpasses him in that regard.

Freyr's imagination is also quite amazing and considering his "inventing" skill only works because of his imagination it's a great asset. Since his inventions do not work based on what they are made of but rather what they are intended to do this means the more creative Freyr was when making it the better it will work, as the only thing that allows them to function is the power of a god.

Freyr is immensely positive and rarely is held down for long. Even when he's feeling low it doesn't last long. Of course some of this could be the fact he seems to have an incredibly short attention span. Frequently he will change moods or abandon topics simply because Mayura walked by. In fact in vol 7 he decides to stay in Midgard, despite having planned to leave soon, simply because he saw Mayura and still wanted to pursue her. There is also a feeling that Freyr simply does not like to think about unpleasant things, and could be shifting his mood away from unpleasant topics on purpose.

Freyr despite being considered a great warrior and user of magic as well as inventor and other things, is not the brightest person around. It's debatable how much of this is true lack of intelligence and how much of it is severe lack of anything near common sense. However in the end he is slow to realize things, is incredibly oblivious and gets confused easily. Though despite this he seems to be one of the few gods on Midgard (out of Loki, Thor, Freya and Heimdall) to know something happened to Odin to change him. A good example of his lacking the ability to figure simple things out is a trick Loki set up once while he was acting like a phantom Thief. Loki put a teddy bear in a box with a mirror on one side so it would look like it was floating. Freyr thought this was something with magnets and was desperate to know how it was done. It also took him several meetings with Loki to realize that child Loki and adult Loki were the same Loki he was suppose to be finding.

Log Sample;

Freyr was rather confused at the sudden change of scenery. One moment he had been leaving Loki's place to head home, since staying would have been awkward after the giantess had vanished, but next thing he knew he was in some other world claiming to be Asgard. Who were they trying to trick? He knew what Asgard looked like, and it wasn't this place. Also why would he suddenly be dragged back to Asgard? His mission wasn't done yet, and wouldn't Odin want to speak with him if he had been dragged back? He hadn't even seen Urd lately either.

What was going on?

Not to mention this fake Asgard was putting him somewhere strange. It wasn't that he was against sharing a living area, he shared one with Heimdall after all and it was a lot of fun! But sharing a space with his name on it as if he were lumped in with the other residents was a bit much. Freyr was a god, a hero, an accomplished figure. This felt like some kind of demotion he didn't deserve. What was going on, who was in charge of this Asgard and where were the real gods!?
