* Liara T'Soni from ''VideoGame/MassEffect''.

Because freckles are caused by sunlight exposure they are associated with those who run around outside all the time. Symbolizing youthful energy (in both positive and negative forms). Freckles can be used to symbolize youthful innocence as well. They can also be a sign of poverty, as poor children are more likely to be FreeRangeChildren.
