Personality: A simpleminded and humble commoner, from a long line of simpleminded and humble commoners. Hildy doesn't quite understand the politics surrounding the current state of Velt-Ithillin relations but then she's just a commoner so she's not really supposed to understand whatever it is the nobles are arguing about. She's not really the sharpest tool in the shed, although again, she's a commoner; her education mostly revolved around what crops to plant and how to take care of pigs, anything beyond that just wasn't really necessary after all. She's friendly at least, even if she can be a bit awkward around those with a higher social ranking than her (eg. pretty much everyone). Whilst she usually doesn't have much time for hobbies, she has a weakness for gambling, especially if it involves cards; despite how simpleminded she is, she's actually very good at cards, even if she's never put any really high stakes bets on it.
Brief Backstory: Born to a family of farmers, Hildy's life hasn't really been very eventful. She's not some noble whose life is filled with politics and intrigue, nor is she a career soldier who has achieved great deeds on the battlefield. She's just a commoner, one who would still be working the fields and taking care of the pigs if she hadn't been conscripted into the Hraesleg Lions. As the oldest child of the family she didn't really have much choice in the matter, but she's trying to be optimistic about it. After all, it gave her a chance to see the world outside of her home town, and an opportunity to broaden her horizons a bit. She just... Has to make sure not to get killed on the battlefield, that's all. No problem, right...?
Equipment: As a conscript from a poor farming family Hildi can't really afford decent equipment, and thus wields a hastily lashed together spear and wears her mother's old cooking pot as a makeshift helmet. Whilst she also always has a knife on hand, it's more of a tool than a weapon and something she'd only use as a last resort in a fight.
Skills: Due to a lifetime of working on her family's farm, Hildy is pretty physically fit and has a great deal of stamina. She's good at handling animals, and is a skilled forager, able to distinguish between plants and fungi that are safe to eat and that are toxic. Because she's had to protect livestock from them, she also has some experience with fighting smaller monsters like goblins. Her literacy skills are rather poor and basic, and whilst she can read something like a sign at the marketplace she would be completely lost if given an elaborate tome written with intricate calligraphy. Living in a rural area all her life has ensured that Hildy is both respectful of the fae and knows when it's necessary to give them a wide berth.
