Freya Crescent (Japanese: フライヤ・クレセント, Hepburn: Furaiya Kuresento, /ˈfraɪə/) is a fictional character in the 2000 video game Final Fantasy IX, where she is one of the main characters. She is an anthropomorphic rat called a Burmecian, and a Dragoon Knight. She is on a quest to find her lost love, Sir Fratley, only to discover that he has forgotten her due to amnesia. She also suffers from the destruction of different Burmecian cities. She was originally conceived by Yoshitaka Amano, before her final version was created by Toshiyuki Itahana.
She has received generally positive reception, considered a fan favorite character. However, the game's writers have been criticized for failing to develop her adequately, with a writer suggesting that the lack of development contributed to Freya being forgotten by fans. Her different experiences in the story, particularly her traumas and anxieties, were also met with critical commentary.
