"Pfft. I'm the oldest woman in Dawnstar. Was here when the Skald the Elder was Skald the younger."

―Frida^[src]

Frida is an Elder female alchemist and widow who owns the alchemy shop in Dawnstar called The Mortar and Pestle.

BackgroundEdit

She is the oldest woman in Dawnstar and has thus been through a lot during her years. In her youth she was both a beauty and something of a battle maiden, defending Dawnstar from bandits and wild animals fighting alongside her old friend Thoring. In one particular event 20 years ago, the Jarl's son was kidnapped and the citizens had to drag out the kidnapper Hildolf the Skull-Splitter from a cave. She remembers her husband's courage from that day.

Before she married, she found Jarl Skald the Elder, titled the Younger at the time, quite handsome and thought of hitting up with him. However, she married a man whom she opened up the Mortar and Pestle with. They were in love and used to go out in the wilderness and collect ingredients together. He called her his "pretty Juniper". Unfortunately, he passed away a few seasons ago, leaving her to tend the shop alone. He left nothing but a memory of him behind.

InteractionsEdit
