Hild

Hild (ヒルド) is a woman who lost her family and was brought up by a hunter instead.

Since the day her family was murdered, she desired revenge against Thorfinn who murdered her father. After encountering a pacifist Thorfinn after many years, she initially wanted to kill him, but withheld from doing so, deciding to see if he really changed but swearing to kill him the moment he turns to his old ways again. However, after spending much time with Thorfinn and his crew, she eventually forgives him for what he did.

Appearance
Her right eye appears heavily scarred and bloodshot due to her falling from a cliff while escaping a Viking raid. Her hair is held back by a green bandana, to allow her ears not to be covered when she jus hunting, although she starts wearing her hair down after forgiving Thorfinn, likely due to not seeing a need to hunt anymore. She is often seen wearing a big dark green cloak with her self-made crossbow by her side. According to the author, she has a six pack and a very strong body, trained by hunting.

Personality
Hild starts out as a very introverted character who also acts very cold towards others, particularly Thorfinn. She also makes sarcastic or sly remarks about others, like Bug-Eyes or Einar. She mostly keeps to herself and avoids getting close to anybody. However, she has a soft spot for Karli and eventually becomes something like a teacher to him and other kids.

She is an extremely intelligent craftsman, shown when she saw her Masters crossbow and immediately understood the mechanism and started making blueprints for crating a crossbow more useable for a woman, due to the crossbows weight and difficulty in use. She often invented things people around her never thought of. Despite her often cold demeanor, she is a kind person who can’t bring herself to kill even her worst enemy.

She was furious when she saw the Jomsvikings were kidnapping women and using them for pleasure.
