OVERVIEW

Hild is the most powerful demon in the series, being the counterpart of the Almighty. The various ornaments on her hair, arms and legs serve to hold back her power, analogous to Belldandy's seal earring. She first appears in Chapter 135. Urd is Hild's daughter by the same father as Belldandy and Skuld.

PERSONALITY

Despite being the top demon in Hell, Hild was presented as a surprisingly cheerful person when she was first introduced, hugging Urd Keiichi, and Skuld like old acquaintances. Her true personality unfolded quickly though in the negotiations for removing Peorth's curse and in subsequent chapters. Underneath Hild's omnipresent small, secretive smile is a sharp, calculating, and exceedingly devious mind. The last is an important point  in  understanding Hild - she  is never overtly

evil but her schemes makes that of Mara distinctly second-rate. Hild's scheme to implant demon angels in the Goddesses is a good example, coloring the Rind arc with a darkness not typical of AMG storylines. Hild never displays much emotion apart from that ever-present small smile, but this should only make one more cautious as this tends to hide her dangerous side. Peorth and Keiichi both underestimated Hild; Peorth was lucky to only get a menacing glare that froze her body in fright. Keiichi on the other hand was on the receiving end of a projectile shot without any warning, after Hild took offense on his comments.

It should be noted that despite her strength, Hild practically never uses any attack spells (and when she does, only in mild forms). One good reason for this, as she explained to Rind, is the Doublet System. Instead, Hild uses cunning, well-planned schemes with Mara as her right-hand man. Finally, beyond being a demon, Hild is still a mother and it is evident that she still cares for Urd despite her daughter choosing the side of the Gods.
