Relationships=She resents her adopted parents for lying to her, and for trying to minimize the damage that them lying about her true nature did to her. She holds no loyalty to anybody that pays her. She avoids connecting with people as she has trust issues stemming from her adopted parents lying about her adoption. She holds sympathies for the Seraphim as she like them, believes that the world has already ended and that humanity is simply in it's death throes.

Backstory=Hilda never knew her birth parents. She was adopted as an infant by a German-American couple who loved her deeply, and never told her the truth. She only found out years later, when a friend convinced her to take a DNA test. The discovery unraveled everything, and her adopted parents subsequent attempt to minimize the damage only made things worse. Questions began to crowd her mind: Why lie? Why give her up? Was she unwanted, or simply inconvenient? Being adopted was one thing; realizing her entire childhood had been built on a lie was another. Not long after, when Hilda was fifteen, in the middle of a school day, news broke. The world was ending. Scientists had discovered that Gliese 710, an orange dwarf once thought to pass near the Solar System in 1.35 million years, at worst disturbing Oort cloud and sending comets Earth's way in a few million years was instead accelerating, faster than light, and on a collision course to eject Earth from the Solar System. The likely cause: alien interference, possibly some kind of stellar engine propelling the star to destroy Earth. Whatever the reason, humanity had ten years to prepare. After that, Hilda shut down. She finished high school on autopilot, watching the days go by and wondering "What did it matter anymore?". Algebra felt pointless in a future buried under endless snow. With no direction and nothing left to cling to, she enlisted into the military straight out of high school. It was an escape, it was an impulsive decision. But perhaps it would give her purpose. By 2050, desperation ruled the world. Reykjavik in Iceland was meant to be an international refuge, powered by geothermal energy and capable of sustaining life on the surface, to be one of the last cities standing on the surface. Instead, it became the target of Operation Icicle Crash, an attempted U.S. seizure of resources following America’s withdrawal from NATO. Hilda didn’t believe in the war, but she didn’t resist it either. When she landed and fought through the streets, she did not find that purpose she thought she would find. She felt nothing. That emptiness followed her and nearly killed her when a sniper caught her in the open. She survived, losing an eye. “Lucky,” her commander called it. Hilda was numb to it all by that point, she disagreed with the war, but she did nothing to stop it. When she landed on the shore, and fought in a bloody ground war, she felt nothing. That purpose she had been looking for still had not arrived. Perhaps it was those dark thoughts that distracted her while she was in the open, leaving her open to sniper fire. She got lucky, at least that's what her commander said, that she survived, albeit at the cost of her eye. She was sent home with a Purple Heart and reassigned to Installation 17 in Milwaukee. She never contacted her adoptive parents. She never learned what became of them. Installation 17 fell like many others, the usual mismanagement and shortages, it was nothing remarkable. When it collapsed, Hilda wandered the frozen wasteland not caring whether she lived or died. She kept moving not because she wanted to survive, but because it was easier than stopping. Eventually, that path led her to mercenary work: fast, brutal, and disposable. A life where death could come quickly, cleanly. Just how she preferred it. Now she works as a hired Pathfinder for Installation 27 in Rochester, Minnesota. As she’s ordered to escort a caravan to Installation 21 in the former Minnesota capital of Saint Paul, Hilda smiles. Maybe this was the trip that would be the thing to finally do her in.
