I've been watching great courses videos again, this time about the Etruscans who share deities in common with the Norse and the Greeks. They share some deities in common with the Norse, and both them and the Norse have nine main gods called the Aesir, plus an extended pantheon.What do you think of goddess Freya?

They have a goddess like Freya and Aphrodite. I don't remember which. It might be Voltumna, but the Etruscan aesir are formless, so they can be male or female when they manifest. For Etruscans both the form and the name can change, and this is simply part of the nature of the god. I don't see an easy search result that compares gods with gods, so I don't remember for sure which Etruscan deity is Freya.
What do you think of goddess Freya?
I've been meaning to ask her how she got her cats to pull a chariot.
I believe even if she reincarnated on this planet she wouldn't remember anything about being a goddess.
I disagree.
I believe that is possible but in which way and why?
I don't think she's from another planet, and I don't think she'd either 'reincarnate'(because, to my knowledge, Norse deities didn't typically do this) or forget.
I believe Norse myth intimates that they come from another planet. I have been there in a different incarnation so the desire to return is not so strange.
Memories of past lives sometimes filter into the consciousness but most of them do not. It would be too much baggage to carry.
I believe she's real, but she's not really part of my faith.
Same here. I believe the deities of all pantheons are real. There are a few non-Hindu deities I revere, though not full-on worship. I wouldn’t disrespect any of them, however.

I don't know anything about her but I believe I am sure she is dead.
