David's mom, unofficially named Helen, is a secondary character in the Hilda series and is known for being the unnamed mother of David, one of the central characters.

== Appearance ==

Helen appears to be in her early to mid-30s, standing around 5'6" (167 cm) and weighing approximately 130 lbs (59 kg).

She is a slender woman with a fair complexion, brown hair tied into a low pigtail, and large circular glasses that emphasize her expressive, black bead-like eyes, which she shares with her son. Her design is simple yet distinctive, with soft facial features and a rounded figure that helps distinguish her in the show’s stylized art. She typically wears a red blouse, light blue trousers, and white shoes, contributing to her warm, approachable, and slightly motherly look.

== Personality ==

Helen is a gentle, kind-hearted, and attentive person, though she’s also somewhat easily startled and absent-minded. During Parents’ Night in Chapter 5: “The Troll Rock”, she becomes so engrossed in conversations that she barely notices her surroundings, enthusiastically discussing topics like Johanna’s graphic design work.

She is deeply caring toward her family, especially David, often showing pride in his small successes and worry during his misadventures — such as when he rolls on the floor to hide a baby troll under his sweater. Her blend of protectiveness and nervous energy leads to humorous moments, like when she mistakes Alfur’s voice for a ghost and clings to her husband, Simon.

Despite her flighty tendencies, Helen is a devoted mother and community member. In Hilda and the Mountain King, she takes a more active role by volunteering as a bellringer for the Trolberg Safety Patrol, showing her courage and sense of responsibility when it truly matters.

== Trivia ==

• Like her husband (unofficially named Simon), Helen is portrayed with a Welsh accent, adding regional charm to her character.
• She appears to enjoy reading, and in one scene, she is shown browsing a magazine about horses, suggesting an interest in animals.
• Helen and David share black bead eyes, a stylistic trait also seen in other human characters such as Gil Jones and Baba (in human form).
• Her design was inspired by Erika Coyle, wife of Hilda series director Andy Coyle.
• In Chapter 3: “The Bird Parade”, David’s parents are shown with two other children in the background — based on Andy and Erika’s real children — reflecting the Coyle family rather than suggesting that David canonically has siblings.
• Despite recurring appearances throughout the series, Helen has never been given an official name, not even in production scripts. The creative team deliberately left her unnamed, adding a touch of mystery to her otherwise ordinary charm.
