Hilda

**Hilda**is the master of Avenger in the ??? Holy Grail war.

"*I must transcend the In-Birth and become a Re-Birth... That is all that I desire.*" - Hilda

## Profile

### Background

Hilda leads a group of talented power-wielders, known as Amnesia, and she herself is infamously known as Paradox. However, hearing of a being even stronger than In-Births, the Re-Births, she has sought too bring down the old-customs regarding the Hollow Night being watched over by Licht Kreis and become a Re-Birth herself. To this end, she seeks out The Insulator and the Princess of the Night Blade for her plans.

While she is the boss of the organization, she is respected by her colleagues purely because of her wealth and abilities, not so much for her intelligence. She founded the organization alongside Gordeau and Roger, with Chaos and Enkidu joining soon after.

### Appearance

Hilda is a young, slim woman with very long blonde hair that goes down to her ankles, and she has heterochromia, her right eye is red and her left eye is grey. She wears a white and black dress, black stockings and white high heel shoes.

### Personality

Hilda is very pompous, arrogant, vain, ambitious, and insists that others should either serve under her or suffer the consequences and tends to swear revenge on those who defeat her (except for Hyde) with several people noting she's not very intelligent.

Hilda appears to have a bit of positive relationship with her subordinates both past and present. She has nothing but the utmost respect for Chaos due to how useful his intellect and careful planning is and supposedly has tried multiple times to invite him for social calls. Despite Gordeau having left Amnesia, she still considers him a friend and asks him to come back, promising that she will also hunt down the Crimson Knight with him, ever since the incident involving the death of their co-founding comrade Roger.

Aside from her positive manner, Hilda somehow appears to possess an even darker side when fully indulging in her power, she has an eccentric superiority-god complex and shows her extreme pride in achieving "immortality" (Re-Birth) for her own personal needs, as seen during an attempt to obtain the Insulator from Hyde, whom she was romantically obsessed with by extension. It is, however, revealed that this kind of paranoia was part of a certain man's machinations, where she was easily manipulated unawarely.

### Relationships

#### **Lucilius**

Avenger tends to act as a begrudging assistant to Hilda. Despite Hilda being his Master, his intellect and cunning tend to make it come off at times as if he's the one truly in charge. Much to Hilda's annoyance, he cares little for her posturing and theatrics to the point of even referring to her usage of her power as that of a wild boar flailing around.

Her lapses in intelligence at points tend to leave an annoyed Avenger to draft intricate battle strategies and countermeasures for Hilda to follow. This aspect of him ends up reminding her of Chaos and while she has extended an offer more than once to make Avenger's membership in Amnesia full time after the war's conclusion, he's repeatedly declined.

## Role

### Fate/???

Upon hearing of the ??? Holy Grail War through her subordinates in Amnesia, she made an impromptu plan to participate in an effort to gain the "immortality" she so desperately desires despite seven Masters having already been chosen. Using her EXS to help setup a summoning circle, Amnesia summoned forth Avenger as the war's eighth Servant and he was promptly contracted to her.

More determined than ever with her Servant and her powers, Hilda plans to intrude upon the ritual and stomp the War's participants to gain the Holy Grail for herself in the hopes of wishing upon it to become a Re-Birth.

## Abilities

Hilda's ability is Paradox (パラドクス), the EXS of Light and Darkness (煌朧のEXS). Paradox is a unique case, since it a fusion of two major EXS abilities formed from Hilda's natural EXS ability of manipulating light, and her weapon, the Dress of Darkness: Masquerade (闇の衣「マスカレード」), which gives her the power to control darkness, almost as a secondary ability. However, her Masquerade ability has long since corrupted her original ability, merging the two together, creating her current ability - Paradox.

It is unknown where or when Hilda obtained the abilities of Masquerade, but it quickly corrupted her original powers. Hilda is completely reckless with her powers, relying on no tact or strategy other than using brute force to overwhelm her opponents with the devastating capabilities of her powers. She predominately uses her power to form countless blades for offense, and to shield herself for defense. Hilda also abuses her powers for more trivial uses such as lounging on a makeshift chair.
