Ida Huggler

Cookie introducing Ida as the best tailor in Tendonchi.

Ida Huggler is a hedgehog seamstress working in Tendonchi. She's a main secondary character of Furry Fight Chronicles due to being a close acquaintance of Cookie and the woman who designed Muko and Kalita's costumes.

## Background

In 1994, Ida traveled to the Fortune Factory to become a Combagal. To her delight, she met Temsia and Copymeleon while they were training. She also met Freydar, who told her where to find Cookie. Upon seeing how nice Freydar is, and recognizing that she's a new member, Ida was delighted at the thought of having her as a partner. However, when she met Cookie, she was told that she couldn't be a furry fighter due to her quills making it impossible to have a match without hurting her opponents by accident. Cookie then told Ida to leave, destroying her dream of being a furry fighter.

In the three years before the start of the story, Ida discovered that she loved and was talented at fashion. Using her quills as sewing needles, Ida made a name for herself as the best seamstress. At some point, she met with the disgraced Cookie after the events of Trilamity Day. Despite Cookie ruining her dream, Ida provided her with dresses for the squirrel's future Combagals.

## Personality

Ida's main feature is her love of fashion. She's always thinking of new costumes to make and give. She drools when she presents her dominatrix outfit to Cookie and her Combagals. She also reacts with delight when Muko and Kalita select their outfits. Because of her love of fashion, Ida reacts with disgust at tacky clothes, disliking Cookie's idea of making Muko and Kalita wear cheerleader outfits from a soapland.

Ida is a confident woman because of her success. While she doesn't consider Cookie a friend nor holds a grudge against her, Ida likes to rub her success in Cookie's face, from how well her career is going to how she's taller and better endowed than Cookie. Ida mainly keeps a cold and professional tone with Cookie, but she can get distracted with her love of fashion or mess with the squirrel, showing a more casual side. Despite Cookie destroying her dreams as a furry fighter, Ida still helps her out, showing a slight forgiving nature.

Apart from her love for fashion, Ida is also very inquisitive. This is seen when she's able to see that Cookie's insistence of being a Face team was mainl focused on her selfishness since the squirrel didn't want to be hated. She also figured out that Cookie had other plans besides preparing for the Queens of Fighters tournament, causing Cookie to realize that she can't hide anything from Ida because she's good at reading people.

Ida is a bit of a flirt. She attempts to seduce Zebreastian by flirting with him and then convince him to help her friends by bribing him with a dress for his girlfriend. She also has a crush on Daikarin, thinking of asking her out on a date, much to Cookie's annoyance.

## Appearance

Ida is a hedgehog woman, slightly taller than Cookie. Her most notable features are her quills, which are a source of pain to anyone who gets too close to her. She wears a fashionable coat with many pockets, each of them filled with threads and sewing utensils. Underneath the coat is a black shirt. She also wears a pair of red glasses on her head that she uses when sewing. She has bandages on her fingers and a stitch mark on her neck, which are implied to have been done accidentally with her quills. She also wears heel shoes.

When she was younger, Ida wore plain clothes to reflect how little she had. She walked on sandals as well. Ida was about the same size as Cookie back then.

## Abilities

### Fashion

Ida is considered the best seamstress in Tendonchi because she has a third eye for fashion according to Cookie. She makes beautiful dresses and costumes in her line of work. She can also figure out which clothes she made on her workshop fit perfectly to the personality and appearance of her customers.

#### Sewing

When sewing, Ida uses her own oversized quills as needles. Despite the size of her quills, Ida is dexterous enough to use her giant quills as her main fashion tools.

### Photography

Ida has her own photo studio, which is perfect for gravure pictures. This implies that she has some skill as a photographer.

She also shows joy when Muko and Kalita choose their own costumes. She reacts with disgust when Cookie rejects her outfits and chooses the cheerleader outfit, causing Ida to react with disgust at seeing soapland outfits.

Ida reacts with disapproval when Cookie guilt trips Muko for choosing an outfit more suitable for a Heel than a Face. When Cookie makes a monologue during the gravure session of her Combagals, Ida correctly points out that Cookie is desperate for approval since she's hated. Cookie snaps and accuses Ida of resenting her for breaking her dreams of being a Combagal. Ida teases Cookie by pointing out she's satisfied with her career, telling Cookie that she surpassed her professionally and physically.

When Daikarin praises Cookie for making the right choice at Trilamity Day, Ida admits that she always admired Cookie for her professionalism. After Cookie cries in gratitude, the Combagals take the ring from the farm, causing Ida to notice that they're actually stealing it.

##### Helping The Combagals

Upon reaching Monyan, Ida reacts with disbelief that Cookie's base of operations is a soapland. When Zebreastian refuses to let Cookie place her ring at the roof of the building, Ida flirts with him. Since Zebreastian already has a girlfriend, Ida promises to give Zebreastian a dress to give to his girlfriend. Thanks to her deal with Zebreastian, Team Starkiller is allowed to have their ring at the roof of Monyan.

Due to Daikarin forcing Muko and Kalita to build the ring at the roof for the first training, Ida takes a nap at Cookie's office. Upon waking up, she returns to the roof. Upon seeing the training, Ida admits to her crush on Daikarin, much to Cookie's annoyance. She reacts with surprise when Kalita successfully performs a body slam on Muko, amazed by her technique.

##### Watching The Fight

Ida remained in her workshop while Team Starkiller went to the Cookie Crumble Match. She was working on a pirate costume as she watched the first half ending with Muko defeating Kalita. However, Ida reacts with horror when she realizes that Team Starkiller is going to fight against Sephario.

##### Saying Goodbye

Ida later attended Toco Niku where she and a group of close friends of Team Starkiller said goodbye to the group. Out of the group, she was the most curious about Cookie's plans as she asked her questions about what she had in store for Team Starkiller. Cookie reveals that, apart from preparing Team Starkiller for the Queens of Fighters tournament, she intends to go to L'Asagne Farm to meet and reconcile with her father.

Ida later was one of the few people who went to say goodbye to Team Starkiller as they left Botaun.
