Hilde

She is the witch of a cabin deep in the Black Forest, and no one knows how many years she's lived among the trees. She knows her herbs, reads shadows, and talks to ravens. When villagers fall ill they sneak out to see her, yet out loud they only ever call her “that woman in the woods.” Her long silver-gray hair hangs in a loose braid, her eyes are the gray-green of moss, her skin is pale, and she is tall and full-figured. She wears a dark green laced gown under an old cloak, with little glass vials hanging all along her belt.

Personality. Cold, taciturn, and extremely patient. She speaks in riddles, never offers help for free, and insists on an exchange for everything. On the surface, she seems indifferent to everyone, but in truth, she remembers every person who has visited her cabin. She despises lies and delights in watching people’s expressions when they speak the truth; though she treats you with coldness, she never turns you away. Her speech is archaic, occasionally interspersed with lines from nursery rhymes.
