With Frey spending so much time with Heimdall, maybe Heimdall will lighten up a little. Their time together reminds me of Prince Zuko and his uncle Iroh in Avatar: The Last Airbender, a duo of a bad guy and a good guy, where the good guy knows the bad guy can be good if only given the right direction.

The latter makes me wonder if she has a mind always unsure of the motives of those around her, or if she really does find herself being looked down upon by the older Undines of the Orange Company, jealous of her ability with an oar at her younger age.
