Personality

"	I volition rain downwardly every agony, every violation imaginable, upon you lot... I will parade your common cold torso from every realm, and feed your soul to the vilest filth in Hel, that is my promise!	„
	~ Freya to Kratos.

Initially, Freya is very friendly and hospitable towards Atreus and even towards Kratos, despite the latter's open distrust of almost everyone and hatred for godly beings. Information technology is implied that Freya sees herself in Kratos and that this is why she decided to help him, although she also teases "or mayhap I only like you lot".

It is unknown which of these answers is truthful, but she is shown to intendance for Atreus, both as a friend and as a female parent-effigy of sorts. She occasionally scolds Kratos for keeping his past a clandestine from Atreus, and for distrusting divine beings despite existence one himself. However, she understands his distrust due to the past actions of divine beings like the Aesir. She possibly reminded Kratos of Athena, which was why he was reluctant to trust her at commencement and not open with her as well.

However, like other villainous/morally dubious deities in the series, Freya has a darker side which made her worse than she appeared to exist. Behind her maternal side is a selfish, vindictive being as well equally representing the worst of manipulative and egotistic parent. When hearing of her son'due south fated death, she placed a curse on him that would make him immune to decease and pain, withal cut him off from all his other physical sensations, all to experience secure in knowing Baldur wouldn't dice. Even later on Baldur begged her to lift the curse and seeing the agony her son was in, she refused, even challenge that there was no way to elevator the curse. This selfish mindset of willing to put her son's life over his happiness caused him to endure over a century of agony. While she generally hid these worst side of hers hidden from her allies Kratos and Atreus, the male parent and son notice this when she shown panic upon the sight of a number of mistletoe Atreus carry and later, seeing an illusion of Baldur's sad history with Freya at Helheim in which Mimir had problem in recalling the full story about it.

This is because Freya placed a discrete spell on Mimir when she resurrected him, preventing him from speaking about Baldur'southward weakness and of her connection to him. Even when admitting to Kratos that she allow her needs and fears come before her son, she still refused to change herself or lift the spell, and when Baldur was finally able to feel over again, while he was euphoric in regaining his senses, Freya was horrified that the spell was broken, non caring that her son was happy to feel once again. In the end, Freya's greatest desire was to continue her son alive, never feeling even a sliver of remorse for her deportment or apologizing to her son despite seeing how much Baldur suffered and unable to truly meet her ain errors, not even with Baldur's attempt to impale her.

Kratos eventually resorted to kill Baldur in order to relieve Freya, earning Freya's hatred in the procedure. She swears vengeance confronting Kratos for killing Baldur, even though her son was hellbent on killing her and would have forced Kratos to kill him anyhow correct afterwards. She was perfectly willing to sacrifice herself if it meant Baldur would alive, something that Kratos himself understands.

She scolds Kratos, calling him an animal and saying he will never modify, inspiring Kratos to tell his terrible and murderous past to Atreus. After picking up her son's body, she looks dorsum at the two, hinting that despite her hatred for Kratos, she respected him for admitting his past, and at least hopes that his child will non encounter the same fate as his own.

With the intent of reclaiming her Valkyrie powers, it is clear that Freya has non given up her drive for vengeance and she may never permit it go. Equally shown in the trailer, her hatred has not faded, relentlessly attacking Kratos to go her revenge.
