Nationality: British (of Japanese-German descent)
First Appearance: Simulated World of Alpha Nine (2023), Looks Like A Real Thing (2024)
Background
Freya Adler is the daughter of renowned Japanese artist Yua Yoshihara and German aristocrat Friedrich Adler. Her life is shaped by tragedy, having lost both parents at a young age—her father in a maritime accident before she was born, and her mother to suicide when Freya was only 12. Raised by her formidable grandmother, Yue Yoshihara, Freya’s childhood was marked by the cruelty of the powerful Yoshihara family and the mystery surrounding her mother’s death.
Freya inherited a vast fortune and her mother’s artistic legacy but spent much of her early adulthood lost in anger and grief. She was known for her wild, rebellious lifestyle, struggling with addiction and emotional scars. Over time, she began to reconnect with her mother’s legacy, taking control of her inheritance and embracing her own artistic talents.
Personality
Freya is complex, passionate, and deeply wounded by her past. Despite her outward success as an artist and entrepreneur, she is haunted by guilt, anger, and feelings of abandonment. Her relationships, especially romantic ones, are often strained by her internal conflicts and past traumas.
However, beneath her guarded exterior lies a deep longing for love and acceptance. Freya's relationship with Soyoung Park allows her to explore this vulnerability, as she learns to open her heart again after years of emotional isolation.
Freya is also fiercely independent, with strong opinions about art and the world. She refuses to conform to traditional expectations, both in her art and her life.
Appearance
Freya has an iconic look, often described as striking and unconventional. She is heavily tattooed, a visual representation of her rebellious nature and her connection to her past. Her style is bold and artistic, a reflection of her confidence and defiance of societal norms. Freya’s presence is commanding, both on and off the canvas, blending elegance with an edgy, raw intensity.
Relationships
- Soyoung Park: Freya’s romantic partner. Their relationship is deeply emotional and filled with unspoken connections. Freya, who had closed herself off from love after the tragic death of her wife, Melissa, finds solace and a second chance at love with Soyoung. Despite their challenges, Soyoung is someone who can match Freya’s complexity and intensity.
- Melissa Adler: Freya’s late wife, whose tragic death left Freya in a state of guilt and grief for years. Freya’s inability to let go of Melissa’s memory affected her ability to fully commit to anyone else, until Soyoung came into her life.
- Yue Yoshihara: Freya’s grandmother, who raised her after her mother’s death. A powerful and intimidating figure, Yue’s influence over Freya is significant, teaching her how to navigate the ruthless world of power and control. Despite their strained relationship, Yue has a deep, if twisted, affection for Freya.
- Yua Yoshihara: Freya’s mother, a famous artist whose life and death remain shrouded in mystery. Freya’s journey in Looks Like A Real Thing revolves around uncovering the truth about her mother’s death and the hidden secrets of her family. Freya’s complex feelings for Yua—ranging from love and admiration to anger and resentment—shape much of her character’s internal conflict.

Freya’s journey in Looks Like A Real Thing revolves around rediscovering herself, her family’s secrets, and her ability to love again. After years of internalizing her mother’s death and suppressing her emotions, Freya returns to her childhood home and begins to unravel the mysteries of her past. Central to this is the missing painting, Simulated World of Alpha Nine, which holds the key to understanding her mother’s tragic end.

Freya is an accomplished artist in her own right, known for her bold and emotionally charged works. Her early career was defined by rebellion, with dark and angry themes dominating her paintings. Over time, her style evolved, influenced by her journey of self-discovery.
