friend (n.)

Old English freond "one attached to another by feelings of personal regard and preference," from Proto-Germanic *frijōjands "lover, friend" (source also of Old Norse frændi, Old Danish frynt, Old Frisian friund, Dutch vriend, Middle High German friunt, German Freund, Gothic frijonds "friend").

💛 You know that pretty, popular, confident kid you're sure is going to bully you, but actually ends up defending you from bullies instead? Freond's more independent than most assume: his father was an outsider and her mom sought pastures new when he and his littermates were still pups. But that's alright. Freond knows - it takes a village.

Ambitious and eager for new skills and experiences, she volunteered for scouting duty the moment there was a vacancy. He swiftly became Hræfn's first successful student, easily befriending a mountain bluebird by helping it forage for bugs in the difficult winter. Navigating the mountainous territory should be easier with a little airborne help!
