MYTHOLOGY

Credits go to Encyclopedia Mythica: Norse Mythology.

"In Norse mythology, Freya is a goddess of love and fertility, and the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses. She is the patron goddess of crops and birth, the symbol of sensuality and was called upon in matters of love. She loves music, spring and flowers, and is particularly fond of the elves (fairies). Freya is one of the foremost goddesses of the Vanir.

"She is the daughter of the god Njord, and the sister of Freyr. Later she married the mysterious god Od (probably another form of Odin), who disappeared. When she mourned for her lost husband, her tears changed into gold.

"Her attributes are the precious necklace of the Brisings, which she obtained by sleeping with four dwarfs, a cloak (or skin) of bird feathers, which allows its wearer to change into a falcon, and a chariot pulled by two cats. She owns Hildesvini ("battle boar") which is actually her human lover Ottar in disguise. Her chambermaid is Fulla. Freya lives in the beautiful palace Folkvang ("field of folk"), a place where love songs are always played, and her hall is Sessrumnir. She divides the slain warriors with Odin: one half goes to her palace, while the other half goes to Valhalla. Women also go to her hall.

"Old Norse: Freyja, Friia"

From Gods, Heros, and Myth:

In Norse mythology, Freya was the Goddess of sex, fertility, love, prosperity, wealth, cats, seeresses and war. She was extremely beautiful and was also called upon as the patron for birth and crops. Freya owned the precious Brisings necklace. She had a special feather coat which she could fly around the world with. She was also known as having a chariot drawn by two huge male cats. Freya was a resident of Folkvang and divided all of the slain warriors with Odin.
"She comes from the tribe, Vanir. Other names she has been called are Freyja, Freyia, Mardal, Moertholl and Syr. Her father was Njord, and husband: Odin. She had two children, Hnoss and Gersemi and a sibling named Frey. Friday was her holy day. Her special animals were a cat, swallow, cuckoo, lynx and a pig."

It is unsure whether or not Squaresoft based Freya off the goddess of Norse Mythology. However, some connections can be made. The loved one of both the goddess Freya of mythology and our Freya disappeared. Both mourned. And it can be assumed, neither were reunited/obtained a happy ending with their lover. Also, both are involved and associated with war. For Freya Crescent, her war was Burmecia vs. Alexandria.
