Background
Freesia was raised among the Mosphoran hikers, the Reagle clan. She was well-trained about hiking and rock-climbing as her childhood turn into teenager-life. She then make up her mind to actually work and earn money for her family. She trains in Ozmone Plains, then travel through Jahara to train with the Gariffs. She then unexpectedly was accepted to became Rabanastre cathedral priestess, along with that sort of status, she was forbidden to leave the cathedral.

Current
Now, Freesia is currently residing with the hikers of the Feign Winds clan and stays in the secret tavern of Nalbina Fortress Town Area. Most of the time, she'll come to the Sandsea to earn her clan some clan points and funds. Although, most of the time, she would travel from town to city to get some groceries. On free times, she'll be wandering around the Giza and Ozmone Plains and sometimes seen 'patrolling'  with either the Garifs or other free hunters. Most her times by the weeks, she'll be rushing to the Jahara in the morning. Then, she will be training her physical and weaponry skills. Also, by time and time, she'll come around the Eryut Village to learn more about the Green Word that she has been hearing about whipering to her ears.

Death
After being one of the apprentice Kiltias in Bur-Omisace, Freesia, eagerly wanted to pass the 'Blighted Path of Darkness' test had gone deep into the Tomb of Raithwall across the vast Sandsea of Ogir-Yensa and Nam-Yensa. As she also be with her partner Kendall to enter it. As they approach the emptied site in front of the tomb. Suddenly they saw something flashing in the sky, then it falls like a meteorite to the site. Something emerged from the crash, a gigantic Entite surrounding itself with a group of Elementals. Freesia shouted, "Arggh!!" Not one of these!! We're mages, we can't hope to beat it with Magick!!". Then Kendall said in most hasted intonation, "We'll maybe your Scathe will work wonders on it! And I'll use my Blood Magick on it!", "Blood Magick?! We'll.... I can't stop you from you speciality... Just hit it's co-" Freesia's voice breaks from the gigantic Entite's 'screeching', they had to battle the monster. After they beat the Entite(along with the Elementals) Kendall casts Decadation(Blood Magick) on the Entite to destroy it's over-charged Magickal properties. Kendall(currently heaving heavily), had to take a rest just under the shade of the tomb. Freesia, as she's still an eager beaver, enters the tomb. Inside, she come into a large hole just behind a statue(which she was checking around) she entered it and found a talisman or some sort. Only to know that it's a Alma Corazon, a rare artifact of old which holds no obvious uses through the history. As Freesia turns around, a reaper (or sort sort of Greater Reaper genus) about to slash her. Freesia, outrageously terrified by the death bringer, ran for her life. Freesia, attempted to use the teleporter pole, failed to activate it, then she was overcome by the reaper. She screams her lung out, only to expect inevitable death after a black out. It is unbecoming of her after that. But Kendall did mentioned about seeing Freesia ran to the sandsea, well, after he had come to his senses of course.

As the Trainee of The Gariffs
Freesia hates mentality ability, by that means she meant her Soul Silhouette persona. To train herself with a defensive arts of physical fighting, she develops the 'Passive-Solid-Soul' with every training. With it, she doesn't have to Soul-In other opponents to instant knock-it-out. Instead she can fight while Soul-On without taking damage directly to her body and still can deliver physical damage towards her opponents. The Gariffs stops training her after knowing that she can battle without getting hurt by others and somewhat thought of her as 'abnormal', so they asks her to leave the land. She feels sad hearing that words although as the goodbye, she smiles as if they are her families.
