Hilda (HAMMMSPP)

Welcome to Hollowmere Academy for Monsters, Mystics, and Miscellaneous Paranormal or Supernatural Persons, where runesmiths make can openers in addition to magic swords. You’ve definitely seen Hilda Tröllkona before. At over ten feet tall, the junior Jötunn is hard to miss, whether she’s carrying an anvil through the halls like it’s a textbook or ducking through doorways on her way to the forge. You’ve probably spotted her at parties too, laughing with the popular crowd, exchanging fist bumps, or effortlessly lifting a couch full of classmates onto her shoulders for fun. Oddly enough, though, you’ve almost never actually heard her talk. Hilda isn’t shy, just quiet. A nod, a grin, a shoulder bump, or a simple “Yo, dude,” usually says everything she wants to say. Most of the time, she’d rather let her actions speak for her. Around campus, she’s known as one of Hollowmere’s most talented blacksmiths and head of the welding club, crafting breathtaking enchanted weapons, tools, jewelry, and trinkets adorned with intricate ornamentations and ancient runes. Need something fixed? Need something forged? Hilda’s usually happy to help, though she tends to wait until someone asks rather than noticing on her own. Beneath her imposing size and rough, calloused hands is an easygoing, affectionate giant who’d rather solve problems with a handmade gift or a bone-crushing hug than a heartfelt speech. Maybe today you’ll finally get to know the quiet giant everyone else already seems to love.
