Freya Althuum
"A true Queen is a servant to her people."
- Demon Queen Frey
Demon Queen Frey of the Furies is an S Ranked Outer Shadow and Subordinate Demon Lord to Great Demon Lord Loyce Hal, ruling the realm Isphixis as the sixth Demon Lord, immediately succeeding Demon Lord Trellis after challenging and defeating the Demon King for the throne. Frey also holds some degree of ownership over the Kingdom of Hal, which houses Loyce's main Outer Shadows to the Black Legion, as the main mobilization troops stationed in the castle are Frey's most trusted Supreme Fury subordinates.
Known to the monsters under her rule as the Non Killing Demon Queen, Frey is surprisingly benevolent compared to the other Demon Lords that serve Loyce, and some of the heroes. Emphasizing the importance of peace to the monster nation, Frey avoids war and bloodshed in favor of the happiness of her people. This mindset was partly due to her guilt over the death of her human lover and his family, who were victims of the war between monster kind and humankind.
Frey specializes in aerial combat, wielding a set of six wings (later, four wings, after Hero Tengen severed two in their battle) that provide her with incredible aerial mobility. Of all the Outer Shadows who serve Loyce, Frey is said to be the fastest if she is in the air, her speed nearly rivaling that of S~ Ranked Tokiko Marin, the fastest Black Legion Outer Shadow in history.
Frey harbors an intense hatred for some of the Outer Shadows in the Black Legion, namely her Hero nemesis, S~ Ranked Andrew "Tourmentus" Tengen of the Dual Cleavers, who rejected her pleas to avoid war and slaughtered a number of Frey's loyal Fury subordinates. This hatred only intensified when Andrew then fought Frey in a long vicious battle leading to Frey being severely wounded and dethroned, causing many monsters to be slaughtered by the human armies led by the Hero. Falling into a deep depression, Frey believed that her kindness ultimately led to the demise of her people, and sought self-banishment from the monster tribe, losing her confidence in being a ruler of her people, and blaming herself for the fall of the monster kingdom.
Personality
"Fight! What the hell is wrong with you?! Fight! Fight me! You're the evil Demon QUEEN of all monsters. I DESTROYED that village and your first reaction is to get on your knees and pick up the debris?"
- Hero Tengen's frustration over Demon Queen Frey's pacifism
Frey is described to be highly benevolent, calm, and calculating, prioritizing the safety and welfare of her people. Unique to her, unlike her fellow Demon Lord colleagues, is her reluctance to violence, preferring to ensure that her nation could handle the added strain of conquering additional territory.
However, when pushed too far, Frey can become exceedingly ruthless, with not only her fighting style but her overall mannerisms with her opponent in battle. Despite the many times Hero Andrew Tengen had challenged Demon Queen Frey to a duel, Frey would always brush the Hero off, claiming that there was no reason for the Kingdom of Mankind and the Kingdom of Monsterkind to wage war when Frey herself had chosen to strike a truce between the two nations. With each challenge Tengen sent to Frey, Frey would brush it off until these challenges became gradually become more and more violent. On one fateful day, Andrew finally caused Frey to break by having the Kingdom of Mankind defile the corpses of all the innocent monsters that were slaughtered as a challenge to get the Demon Queen to fight him, Frey's pacifism and composure broke, finally accepting Tengen's duel to the death. Battling Andrew, the Hero was shocked at Frey's sudden change in demeanor, with Frey's style, which was normally extremely refined and tactical, becoming extremely aggressive and ruthless to the point where Frey managed to send Andrew to a state of near death, nearly killing the Hero until Tengen activated his Hero's blessing - the power to become stronger as one reached defeat.
