The ages don't add up for Freya to be the 3rd child. The MC is 23 and Freya is 19 in the game so only 4 years difference but the MC was ~7 when Daisy asked Hera if she is pregnant with her 3rd child. Also while talking with Daisy, Hera says that she wants a boy to protect her girls and that wouldn't make sense if the MC was her son.
It's not Freya, that's for sure, in the conversation between Hera and Daisy, she literally says: "it hasn't been long since Miss Freya."
If this update was meant to make Hera likable, after making her the "antagonist", it failed at least for me but to be honest not a single Dev has managed to change my mind about a character as unlikeable as Hera.
You mean beyond probably losing him and going from a somewhat nice person(Edgy Anakin Mode) into "Executing Order 66 Mode" without a frickin' Off-Switch, which I guess would make her...*dun* *duun* *duuun*...Darth Hera?
It's true that we see a kinder side to Hera in this update. But she's still the leader of what seems to be a rather criminal organization (I don't remember that it's fully confirmed, it's, yes, quite well suggested, it's quite clear that she doesn't direct Messengers for Peace), so I suppose that her kindness will be focused on certain people.
What isn't so kind is that among those people don't seem to be currently, neither her daughters, nor the daughter of her friend, nor of course the MC. Although it would be nice to know the full story as to why Hera has such a grudge against Klara. So we can hate her with passion or, maybe even understand her.
WTF is it with a 6-year-old living alone.
I have thought the same. It's seen that the services for the protection of minors in that country are peculiar to say the least.
