She is one of the Vanir gods and has many vital roles. Half of those that die in battle Freyja would take to Folkvangar where the Valkyries reside. The other half known as the Einherjar would go to Valhalla. Also known as Queen of the Valkyries, she's a shield maiden and would lead the other Valkyries into battle.
