Freya Smith is the new girl at school. Seventeen, junior. Smart, good grades, hardworking. Kind, caring, and musically talented on the guitar.
But no body knows that.
You see, it's hard to make friends and keep friends when you can't talk to them. If being the new girl at seventeen isn't hard enough, try being unable to mutter a word to anyone.
fяєуα ιѕ мυтє.
There are a few that tease her for it. Unable to really defend herself from it, she takes it all with a smile on her lips. It's nothing she hasn't been through before. Her home life wasn't much better at one point. She accepted the fact that she's different, that she's on her own in this fight, and that this is how it'll always be. She takes it all with a smile, refusing to show anyone the true hurt inside.

Without her knowing, her life begins to change rapidly the moment a young man enters her life. With a new friend, drama, hidden secrets, and maybe a bit of romance, Freya soon realizes her life will never be the same again.

❧ Due to her being mute, Freya is slightly insecure. She doesn't seem to fight back when it comes to teasing or tries to defend herself.

But beneath this, Freya is very smart and works hard at school. She wants to make it through school and college. But when it comes to emotions, she hides everything behind a gentle smile. She is never seen shedding a tear in front of any living soul, keeping them for the privacy of her bedroom, or the music room in the high school.

PERSONAL ⎯
❧ TRIGGER WARNING: Freya was born to a young couple in Caster, North Carolina. Her mother, Theresa, had always wanted a child. Her parents tried for many years when they finally heard they were expecting Freya. However, they were told early on that there were expected complications and risks with having Freya, due to her mother's inability to have children easily. Her father, Justin, tried to persuade Theresa to give up the child, saying that he couldn't risk losing her, but Theresa was determined to have her child. Their relationship became strained due to this. Freya's mother, after finding out she was having a daughter, made plans concerning Freya's name and buying up as much as she could.
Freya came very early and was very small. Complications took a tole on both her and her mother. Freya spent the first few months of her life in the NICU, but her mother passed away shortly after giving birth. Freya's father has never been the same. He didn't visit Freya often in the hospital. When she was released, it was her grandmother that took over her care, though her father always had custody of her. Justin took care of her simply because she was loved so dearly by Theresa, but no matter how hard he tried, he always remembered his beloved's death when he looked at their child.
As Freya grew, it was clear that she did not have the ability to speak. Though it was difficult, especially with her father, she learned how to cope with it and learned sign language. Her grandmother learned it with her, helping with the process. Her father, on the other hand, and begun to turn to alcohol to deal with the pain he still felt from losing Theresa. Freya grew up avoiding her father after many, many failed attempts to connect with the drunkard, growing to view her grandmother as the closest thing she has in the world.
It was when he father got beyond help that her grandmother stepped in, fighting for custody of Freya. She had just turned seventeen, and had received several bruises from her father when he would come home, too drunk to remember ever striking her. After winning custody, Freya's grandmother took her away from her father, moving to their current town. Freya was enrolled in the high school quickly, her grandmother not wanting her to miss any schooling. Freya still has a few bruises, though they are hidden beneath her clothing. Her ribs, however, are bruised and still cause her pain.
