Hilda Del Bosques

The product of an extremely strict upbringing, Hilda feels relief that she is finally at a point in her life where she can make her own choices. At the top of the list: what to do with these powers she has? When her brother Eoforwine (page 60) embraced thievery as his trade, it sent shock- waves through the family. “We raised you better than this,” they said, before turning their backs on him and barring any communication. But is it really wrong to use the skills you have to get the things you want? Her brother doesn’t think so and suggested that she might use her powers to make her life better—with her roommate, for example. Subtle applications of charm have improved that relationship substantially, and for those times that things are truly terrible, putting her to sleep is a welcome relief. There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?
