Hida

Hida is a Skeleriolu living in Nitro City who is Iris's best friend, and a pseudo-love interest. Just like Iris she has an interest in the occult, however Hida is much newer to the occult than Iris. This leads to Iris teaching her many new spells and rituals, which can often lead to dangerous situations due to Hida's inexperience.

## Creation Process

Hida was created as part of a custom trade to another use in SkeletonHeart's discord server, however as with many of the characters reclaimed during the Reclamation Era, they were never used and therefore reclaimed by SkeletonHearts after their friend group had collapsed. Hida's design takes some liberties from IRL's, namely the grey sweatpants, dark grey hoodie, and red icon on said hoodie.

## Appearance

Hida is a green and black Skeleriolu who wears a purple beanie, a grey hoodie with an inverted red Illuminati-symbol, and light grey sweatpants. (Noticeably without the black lines on the sides of the pants, which is normally common with most SkeletonHearts characters who wear sweatpants.)

Hida's purples are a hot pink, and are large slits much like a cat's, which is unusual for Skeleriolus and is likely an effect from exposure to demonic energies.

## Personality

Hida, much like Iris, is standoffish and dismissive to people she does not know. However, Hida does have a desire to prove herself, and she wants to achieve this by learning from others. So if someone proves they are powerful in the dark arts, Hida is quick to warm up to them. This is in contrast with Iris, who usually despises any other cultists as they could interfere with her plans.

## Relationships

### Iris

Hida is Iris's best friend and student. Hida does her best to learn all she can from Iris, in the hopes that she can one day be as powerful of a cultist as she is. Hida has romantic feelings for Iris, however it is unknown whether Iris is aware of this or not, and if she is it is unknown if she reciprocates these feelings.

## Lore

### Nitro City

Hida was once a normal Skeleriolu in Nitro City, pining to find her place in the world. One day however, she heard murmurs from deep within her apartment building. She followed them to a room, where Iris was busy performing a ritual. Iris, surprised by the intrusion, accidentally botched the ritual and caused Hida to be captured by a demon which began dragging her down to Hell. However, before Hida could meet her eternal damnation, Iris banished the demon and pulled Hida back to the living world.

Amazed with the power Iris displayed, and shaken up by nearly being tortured for all eternity, Hida begged Iris to teach her the dark arts so that she may one day be as powerful as her.

### Last Wish

During the events of Last Wish, Iris and Hida attempted to summon a powerful demon to combat Rewrite during his attack on the city. However, they were unable to finish the ritual before their apartment was destroyed, sending the two hurdling into the chaotic streets. This is when the Enjoyer arrived, which Iris and Hida falsely assumed were the demons meant to be summoned through their ritual.

Hida and Iris boarded their ships, being taken to the Enjoyverse where Rewrite would be unable to locate them.

When the final battle with Rewrite was at hand, Hida and Iris joined the fight, using their dark magic to stave off Rewrite's forces.

When all was said and done, Lunua returned everyone to Nitro City, which included Hida and Iris.

### Nitrocant

Hida spawns in Iris's room on occasion, and can sometimes be found walking the sidewalks of Nitrocant. Her dialogue mainly explains her relationship with Iris, and how much she idolizes her.

Hida's favorite items to be gifted are those of magical or satanic significance, such as Tarot Cards or Brimstone.

Hida's maximum friendship reward is a sign with the flipped-Illuminati insignia seen on her hoodie. It is hung up in the player's bedroom.

### Pokemon: Nitro Version

Hida is a standard route trainer near Lavender Town. If the player crosses her line of sight, she will battle them using low-level ghost Pokemon such as Gastly or Misdreavus.
