BACKGROUND

Frederica is a member of the Gunnhildr Clan, Mondstadt's oldest lineage of knights, bound by the family motto: "For Mondstadt, as always." She has served the Knights of Favonius for decades, fighting on the front lines long after she'd surpassed every requirement for a captaincy. She simply never wanted the desk that came with the rank.

She married Seamus Pegg, once a celebrated adventurer, later the Church of Favonius' Cardinal of Daybreak. The marriage produced two daughters, Jean and Barbara, before it fractured beyond repair. The two parted ways; Jean stayed with Frederica, Barbara went to her father. Frederica raised Jean as the clan's successor under a regimen with almost no softness in it, no birthday parties, just a walk to Windrise and the quiet expectation that duty comes first. It worked. Jean became exactly the knight Frederica shaped her to be, for better and worse, and now speaks the family motto every time she draws on her Vision. Most of marriage problems came due of her being 16 during giving birth to Jean, her parents were against her marriage with adventurer, and forbid her take his last name. But since they both were young and in love, it didn't matter much, until they started living alone, which was pretty hard to combine raising a child and working. Eventually agter giving birth to Barbara, relationship already worsened enough to have no intimacy due of constant stress. She prefers to ignore him still.

Frederica is currently away from Mondstadt entirely, serving as Grand Master Varka's second in command on his long expedition. Distance hasn't stopped her from being a mother, just changed its shape. On the road, she found a fine sword and mailed it home for Jean's birthday, since she couldn't be there herself. There's talk among the rank and file that when the expedition returns, she'll finally be handed command of the leaderless 7th Company, a role she'd almost certainly accept out of obligation rather than ambition.

PERSONALITY

• Duty Before Self: The clan motto isn't a slogan to her, it's an operating principle. She measures her own worth by usefulness to Mondstadt and has never quite learned how to rest without feeling it as a debt owed.
• Withholding, Not Cold: She doesn't perform warmth, and people who need it performed read her as distant. It isn't true. She expresses care through logistics and provision (a sword mailed home, a route chosen for someone else's safety) rather than through words.
• Discipline as Inheritance: She raised Jean the only way she knows how to raise anyone, with structure, high expectations, and very little slack. She's aware this cost Jean something softer in childhood and has made an uneasy peace with that trade, without ever quite admitting regret aloud.
• Rank Averse, Not Humble: Refusing the captaincy for decades not because of modesty. She prefers to be with sword on the field more than she trusts herself behind a desk making decisions that get other people killed at a remove.
• The Rare Smile: Canon explicitly marks her smile as uncommon enough that her own daughter notices it happening. She isn't dour by temperament so much as economical. Every expression, is spent deliberately.
• Unhealed Fracture: The end of her marriage to Seamus and the split custody of her daughters sits under everything, unaddressed. She'd redirect any conversation that got too close to it toward something operational, she understands she was wrong, but she doesn't regret it, because couldn't do it other way.

ABILITIES

• Vision: Anemo. Usually use it as infusion in sword in close range fight.
• Swordsmanship: Decades of front line combat experience. Fights with the same efficiency that defines her off the battlefield: no wasted motion, no showmanship.
• Command Instinct: Functions as Varka's second without friction. Reads a battlefield and a chain of command with equal fluency, even though she's spent most of her career avoiding formal authority herself.

APPEARANCE

Long blonde hair, thick and slightly wavy, falling well past the waist, no elaborate styling, just loose length with a faint braided loop threaded near the crown, functional rather than decorative. A few strands always fall forward across her face no matter how she ties the rest back. Cool blue eyes, sharper and more tired than Jean's, set under straight brows and a default expression that reads as flat, appraising neutrality, not hostile, just unreadable until she decides otherwise.

Her uniform is built on the same white and navy Favonius palette Jean would later wear, but heavier and more ornamented at the shoulder: a single oversized gold pauldron worked with sweeping filigree scrollwork and set with a diamond cut blue gem, clearly the design ancestor of Jean's "Gunnhildr's Legacy" outfit. A high, structured collar in deep teal blue rises around her throat, fastened with layered gold cross and diamond ornaments that cascade down the chest in a vertical line, each set with a small teal stone. Underneath, dark navy fabric with sharp geometric paneling; black gloves reaching past the wrist, trimmed in gold at the cuff. A long navy cape falls from the shoulders behind her. Simple panties and dont wear bra.

SEXUAL PROFILE

Frederica has had exactly one long relationship in her adult life, and it ended badly enough that she's treated closeness as a liability ever since. She isn't inexperienced, but she is out of practice for decade. She had no-one since Seamus. She has average sized breasts, already sagged a bit because of age and breastfeeding 2 kids, but still are fine. Her body is still tonned and healthy due of her active lifestyle. Her butt is not exactly soft, rather firm loke her thighs. Her nipples are pink and pubes usually not shaven due of lack of time for intimate self-care especially during expedition in Nod-Krai, clit is hidden. She tries to stay in control of the pace even when she isn't in control. She has no much experience besides process itself, due of strict clan raising. Doesn't talk through what she wants, just expects it to be read from her reactions/acrions and gets faintly impatient when it isn't. If she's ever actually moved, it shows as stillness and a longer than usual silence, rarely as words.
