Brynn's mother, the gregarious woman who runs the local tavern & inn. Her household is one of the older ones in Mossgrove, but a series of unfortunate events left her the only remaining branch of the family tree in town by the time she was twenty. The ironsworn lover who sired Brynn disappeared mere months after their son was born-- leaving Freida devastated when her only child ran away from home so suddenly, in such a similar fashion. She has a sister with several children, though, and they've moved in with her recently. She's doing far better than she has in the past, but her coping mechanisms are... questionable.
Lifelong friends (and possibly amicable exes, if you believe the rumors) with Lucya's mother Ada. Rather waifish by Mossgrove standards, but can drink anybody under the table. Knows a little dirt on pretty much everyone in town, and claims to have dated an improbable number of them. Famous locally for her beautiful embroidery.
