Freya Eistochter is a Bundschuh politician, Kommandant of the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee, former Oberst of the Volksfront and former Party leader of the Bundschuh.
Biography
Born on Planet New Berlin, 797 A.S., Freya was the youngest of three children (she has one sister and one brother). Her father was a doctor and her mother was a teacher. Her family had traditionally always supported the Bundschuh, however her parents were afraid to openly support the party. The Federal Police and the MND watched closely for Bundschuh-supporters since the party was outlawed again a short time after their initial amnesty after the Nomad War. Her parents feared that if they would be open about their views they might be harmed or even worse: Their children might be harmed.
Freya grew up as a normal Rheinlandish girl. She proved to be intelligent at an early age and after she finished Gymnasium she went on to study politics. Her the Bundschuh really came into play for the first time. Universities were always the place where the Bundschuh traditionally got strong support and they often try to spread their ideas here. While Freya's study was completely biased in favor of the Kanzler, she found herself to be more attracted to what was told outside of the university walls. Back at home she also learned more about the Bundschuh from her parents.
At the age of 22 she decided to send a message to the Volksfront, the armed forces of the Bundschuh Partei in order to join them. The Volksfront and the Bundschuh in general were in a bad state when Freya joined, with numbers and moral low. She managed to quickly climb the ranks of the party and became Revisor in the party and the right hand of Vorstand Daniel Boehmer. Not too long after this Boehmer decided that he had failed as leader of the party and handed over leadership to Freya. After a few weeks she also became Oberst of the Volksfront and in her new position she attempted to revive the party. Another rising star among the Volksfront, Michael Wolf was appointed as Kommandant and became her right-hand and most trusted adviser.
The party continued its struggle to regain influence in time that followed. Small skirmishes with the Unioners in Frankfurt established the Volksfront as a force who wishes to protect the people of Rheinland and a bold move to also establish the Volksfront as the paramilitary of the People's Party of Bretonia expanded the influence of the organisation greatly. It didn't manage to save it however...
Eventually she stepped down and a dark time awaited the party. The time of the Volksfront was over and in the time that would follow no new strong paramilitary to unite the Bundschuh emerged. Groups came and went, none lasted for long. Until former-Volksfront and Rheinlandische Völksfreiheitspartei officers teamed up, joined by various other Bundschuh-members to form the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee led by Freya's former right-hand Michael Wolf, aided by Matthias Zillich, another former Volksfront-member and Freya herself.
Political views
Freya is a socialist at heart, more so than most member of the Bundschuh. While the party is generally centre-left, Freya is more radical and is skeptical about their chances to become a legal party again in the future. While not a particularly aggressive person she does consider revolution as a means to accomplish her party's goals.
Personality
Freya may often come across as cold and strict, but the few persons who are closer to her know that she in fact is a very caring person, but she believes that through order and discipline she can reach her goals and protect those she loves. She is known as hardworking and idealogical. She doesn't like flashy things and prefers a more quiet environment.
