Hilda (Genealogy of the Holy War)

For the Fire Emblem: Three Houses character, see here.

Hilda is a major villain from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. She is the wife of Duke Bloom of Friege, the daughter-in-law of Reptor, the mother of Ishtar and Ishtore, a sister-in-law to Tailtiu and Ethnia, an aunt to Arthur, Tine, Amid and Linda, and a descendant of the Velthomer royal family.

Story Edit

Hilda is introduced as the wife of Bloom and the dictator/queen of Miletos. While outwardly loyal to Bloom, it is also implied that Hilda married Bloom for the money and power she could obtain.

Despite sharing familial ties with Tailtiu, Ethnia, Tine and Linda, Hilda absolutely despises them all. This lead to her abusing them, causing Tailtiu/Ethnia to succumb to the mental torture they sustained. This is implied to be rooted in Hilda's enjoyment in inflicting suffering. She also willingly supports the Child Hunts, orders Ridale to kill escaping children, and hopes for Ishtar to wed Julius as soon as possible, all for her own selfish gains. She is thus said to not possess a soul, as her actions are both cruel and merciless. Hilda will ultimately be slain by Seliph's liberation army in the final chapter of the game.

OverallEdit

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Hilda is fought twice, once in Chapter 10, and another in the Final Chapter. She is extremely powerful with a whopping attack power of 50. This is thankfully offset by the fact that Bolganone is a heavy tome, lowering her attack speed by a significant amount.

EtymologyEdit

Hilda is one of several female given names derived from the name Hild, formed from Old Norse hildr, meaning "battle". Hild, a Nordic-German Bellona, was a Valkyrie who conveyed fallen warriors to Valhalla.

TriviaEdit

• In the Final Chapter, Hilda is shown to possess Dáinn (Major) Holy Blood instead of Fjalar (Minor), which is wholly incorrect.
• The Minor Boss character, Lamia, strongly resembles a younger Hilda, and has a similar sadistic personality.
• While Hilda never directly appeared in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Hilda did get mentioned by Masahiro Sakurai in Byleth's Reveal Smash Bros. Direct for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate during at presentation when he presented the Golden Deer members for the Garreg Mach Monastery stage to the audience when talked about Three Houses's Hilda along with Claude shared the name of the Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War characters.
