She shares her house with her aging grandfather, Hans, since both her parents died horribly two years ago during the Black Rain.

had hidden away is quickly disappearing. Hilda·has managed to keep her outlaw connections hidden from the guards, but she is willing to risk her cover to take the party to the outlaw camp. She is brave, but not foolhardy.
