'''Freyja''' (callsign '''FM''') is a pilot on [[Detritus]].{{book ref|Skyward|8}} During Flight School, she was the ninth member of [[Skyward Flight]].{{book ref|sky1|9}} She is one of only two members of Skyward Flight who graduate and gain full pilot status.{/{cite}} She is from the Lower Caverns
== Appearance and Personality ==
Freyja is tall{{book ref|sky1|21}} and skinny, around 185 centimeters in height, and has stylish{{book ref|sky1|13}},very short, blond hair.{{book ref|Skyward|8}} Spensa thinks she looks Nordic.{{book ref|Skyward|8}} Her name is a mythological name from Old Norse.{{book ref|Skyward|8}} She wears new and pristine clothing, showing her wealth.{{book ref|Skyward|8}} She has a slight accent which is associated with the people of the deep caverns.{{book ref|sky1|10}} She sometimes speaks in a very prim tone.{{book ref|sky1|13}}
Unlike her classmates, FM wears a tailored DDF uniform and polished boots for daily work at Alta Base.{{book ref|sky1|21}} She is very poised which makes her appear older than the rest of her flight.{{book ref|sky1|21}}
Freyja self-identifies as a [[Disputers | Disputer]], a member of a movement that believes the Defiant culture is becoming too jingoistic and that the dictatorship ruling [[Detritus]] has too much power. She's highly critical of the military culture and the worship of First Citizens,{{book ref|sky1|13}} and isn't afraid to voice her opinions out loud, even if her flightmates disagree with her. She's also quick to notice any hypocrisies she perceives. However, for all her misgivings she is supportive of the continued war against the [[Krell]] and tries to become a pilot as hard as any other member of her flight.{{book ref|Skyward|21}} ▼

She's also quick to notice any hypocrisies she perceives. However, for all her misgivings she is supportive of the continued war against the [[Krell]] and tries to become a pilot as hard as any other member of her flight.{{book ref|Skyward|21}} FM will often complain that the other members of Skyward Flight are too aggressive.{{book ref|sky1|21}}
She wears her emotions on her sleeve, and is good at reading others.{{book ref|Skyward|20}} She's often the instigator of the group's trips out of the school.{{book ref|Skyward|37}}{{book ref|Skyward|42}} She is more conservative when presented with risky choices, choosing to take the safer option.{{book ref|sky1|15}} She may also do this as a statement against the strong risk taking attitude promoted by the DDF.
A few days later, Skyward Flight was once again sent into battle against the Krell, this time fighting alongside full pilots. FM survived the battle, however, lost two of her other flightmates: Bim and Morningtide.{{book ref|sky1|19}}
FM approached Spensa the day after her classmates deaths to thank her for what she had said about Bim and Morningtides death. While the two left the classroom for the day, FM introduced Spensa to the ideas and aims of the Disputer movement.{{book ref|sky1|21}}
When the shipyard began falling, the first time Skyward Flight had flown since Morningtide and Bim's deaths, FM, Arturo, Hurl, and Jorgen, ended up cut off from the other members of the Flight after they were attacked by Krell.{{book ref|sky1|25}}
FM participated in all the battles that Skyward Flight did, and ended up being one of its two graduates, alongside [[Jorgen]].{{book ref|Skyward|48}} Afterwards, she was one of the pilots at the Second Battle of Alta, and aided in taking down the bomber carrying the second lifebuster.{{book ref|Skyward|52}} She was one of the survivors of the battle.
As someone who has graduated Flight School, FM is a full pilot and highly knowledgable about piloting and starfighters. It is unknown as to whether she was required to sit the entrance exam or whether she is the descendent of a First Citizen and granted free admission. Depending on whether she was required to pass the entrance exam and whether she had previous exposure to starfighters and piloting, FM may have been less knowledgeable about flying than her fellow cadets when she entered Flight School. As she is unaware that the Krell traditionally attack the strongest pilot instead of the weakest, she may have less background knowledge than some of her flightmates.{{book ref|sky1|11}} However, she may have had prior experience in flying starfighters.{{book ref|sky1|9}} Ultimately she trains to pilot a Poco, perform aerial maneuvers, and use its weaponry.
Freyja is one Skyward Flight's best pilots. As she trained under [[Cobb]], she has excellent control of her fighter's [[light-lance]], making her one of the most agile pilots in the sky. She has a tendency to be overly cautious when flying, though this has lead to her developing excellent precision skills.{{book ref|sky1|23}}
She comes from a highly-merited family, giving her a large degree of freedom and influence.
Following the revelation that Spensa's father was Zeen Nightshade, FM began acting more cautious around Spensa, although it is unclear if this was because of her parentage or her temper.{{book ref|sky1|16}}
=== Spensa ===
Spensa admires FM for her fashion sense and outward appearance, finding the other girl to opitomize beauty standards.{{book ref|sky1|21}} FM finds a lot of Spensa's bravado to come from indoctrination of the toxic and aggressive culture promoted by the Defiants, however, appreciates the sincerity behind some of what Spensa says, particularly after the deaths of Bim and Morningtide.{{book ref|sky1|21}} She doesn't blame Spensa for her attitude, believing it to engrained in her from the society they live in.{{book ref|sky1|21}} Spensa doesn't understand FM's criticism of the DDF and the issue with agressiveness.{{book ref|sky1|21}}
“Constantly amazed by the toxic aggression omnipresent in Defiant culture,” said the well-dressed girl.
“That’s a new one.” Cobb wrote ch 13
