— FIRST IMPRESSIONS —

APPEARANCE Hilda is a tiny, pink dream standing at a staggering 5'0". At a glance she doesn't look like she can do much harm to anyone; her pink hair is glossy and is usually tied up into two high pigtails falling to her mid-back, her make-up is always in place, with a reserved (e.g. hands clasped on the table or held in front of her) but otherwise friendly body language.

If someone took a closer look, they'd notice that her arms and back are incredibly well-built from years of training and combat. Whenever her hands aren't gloved, people would be able to spot the callouses on her palms from wielding axes and lances despite her best efforts to keep them at bay. There are faint scars that pepper her skin but they're normally (and tactfully) covered by clothing.

As of September 2023, she's got a myriad of ugly scars across her throat thanks to a run in with a dragon. These will mostly always be covered up by clothing or make-up.
In December 2023, Hilda got a tattoo thanks to some coaxing from a friend. A colourful, tiny bouquet of flowers sits by her shoulder bone comprised of a black dahila (Sylvain), a sunflower (Claude), an anemone (Hilda). A small pink bat nestled amongst the buds (representing Eddie).
As of July 2024, Hilda has received a strange sort of physical blessing from their times as gods: wyvern claws that are thankfully the retractable sort.

CLOTHINGHilda loves the finer things in life, and now that she's got a respectful living wage from her work at the Old Public Hall, she's typically seen in nice fabrics some designed by her own hand. When she's working at the forge or doing anything that might be considered dirty work she can be seen in simple skirts and shirts similar to this or this that have been tailored by her own hand to better suit her body type.

Hilda loves accessories and there's never a shortage of them on her from rings, earrings and necklaces that she's made herself. If she's out in the sun, she'll make a point to wear a stylish hat to protect her skin from the sun. Her colour palettes tend to lean into pinks, neutrals and blacks and she doesn't mind showing a little skin but not all of her clothes will be in that vein.

DEMEANOR Friendly and coy with big doe eyes. A little mischievous. Looks like she could wrap you around her finger if she wanted to. An untrained eye would never know she's more aware of her surroundings than they'd assume. She carries herself with a posture denoting someone who was raised to hold herself a certain way and to appear as unassuming but delicate as possible. There's a warmth and genuineness to her even if she's in the middle of convincing someone to do something for her.

AURAL Voice samples here! Hilda has a bright, sweet tone that can sound musical at times which really amps up when she's trying to wiggle her way out of something she doesn't want to do. Her voice can dip into a whiny, almost teary voice when she isn't getting her way or has to do something she doesn't want to do.

OLFACTORY Tends to switch up her perfume depending on how she feels, but will always default to her personal blend of peonies, red apples, jasmine, rose and gillyflower.

— SKILLS —

COMBAT Hilda is a force of nature and a terror with an axe (mastery; she grew up learning how to use axes because they were House Goneril's weapon of choice) or lance in her hands furthered by her time at Garreg Mach and under Byleth's tutelage. She'll be joining the game as a wyvern rider which means she'll be skilled in combat with lances, axes, and adept with swords and at handling winged mounts.

MAGIC Hilda was never the most diligent student and magic was definitely not her forte. She learned the bare minimum to pass as her time as a student, but she's forgotten most of them or they've fallen out of use. Using magic takes a lot out of Hilda so she isn't quick on the uptake to use it. Faith magic in the Fire Emblem universe is most aligned with healing yourself or an ally. It isn't something that will fix a person fully or bring them back to life, but it would be enough to stabilize them until proper medical attention could be given.

Hilda knows:
- Heal: Basic light magic, lightly heals an adjacent ally and cannot be used from a distance.
- Thunder: A moderately ranged spell. Deals thunder damage to one opponent.

MINOR CREST OF GONERIL In Fódlan, crests are believed to have been a blessing from the bestow powers to those that hold them like enhanced magic or strength. More info for FE3H crests can be found here. Mechanically, Hilda's crest sometimes allows combat arts to prevent enemy counterattacks. In Abraxas it'll help her sense particular movements of any enemies she can see, but is by no means a guarantee that she'll dodge them successfully every time.

POLITCALLY SAVVY Being born and raised in a noble household and later on taking part of war tables, Hilda knows the in's and out's of dealing with high society and politicians fairly well. She doesn't like doing it, but she's got the gift of gab, powers of observation and her looks on her side to aid her when those situations do arise.

AMULET OF PROTECTION — USED SEPTEMBER 2023 TO SAVE HILDA FROM A DRAGON ATTACK. This amulet, when worn, will deflect a single killing blow or spell. The amulet will shatter upon being expended. It will not otherwise prevent injuries and cannot be used to heal or cure the dying, only to shield from a physical or magical strike. One time use.
ASSORTED NOTEBOOKS - Inherited when Dan Heng left Abraxas in September 2024. Most of the journals and notebooks are filled with sketches of various places, animals and plant-life around Abraxas. Some of the notebooks also include sketches of various Summoned some of which include Hilda.
SPEAR - Inherited when Dan Heng left Abraxas in September 2024. The spearhead was acquired from their time with the Draconae and was paid for with a combination of their spit in a jar. The shaft was gifted to Dan Heng by Hilda and has a number of intricate swirling cloud patterns carved into it. She doesn't use it but keeps it safe in her room and sharpens it every once in a while in case the owner ever returns.
SIX PEARLS - Inherited when Dan Heng left Abraxas in September 2024. A bag containing six pearls of high quality and shine. While Hilda could use them for jewelry, she keeps them tucked away in her jewelry box for safe keeping.
