What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
Season 1[]
- Before the series, she rescued Twig, who became her pet dog. Twig protected her from an eagle.
- After meeting Alfur who like all elves is small and invisible, Hilda signs a contract that lets her see all elves. Afterwards, the Elf King evicts her and her mother from their house. The reason the Elf King wanted her to leave was that she and her mother would trample on their invisible houses. Hilda and Alfur manage to make a truce with the Elf King which lets them stay. After all, Hilda didn't know she was stepping on elf houses and apologized for it.
- After Hilda goes to the elf king's castle and causes an avalanche which awakens the giant who has the elf king's castle on her, Hilda saves the castle which made the elf king accept her and had Jorgen reunite with his girlfriend. And despite initially thinking that she left him, Hilda apologized for suggesting that she actually abandoned him.
- After meeting a giant named Jorgen, Hilda befriended him after he woke from his slumber, he asks her “where have my friends gone? And why are there mountains? They weren't there before I slept.” Hilda found out that the mountains are giants who have slept and gained snow on them after a while. Though he later trampled on her house, she didn't seem to mind after a while since. While skeptical at first, she moved from the countryside to the city with her mother and her pet, Twig.
- When the bird parade happened though Hilda was initially reluctant to go and explore the city and meet with other kids, she went anyway and met a group of kids led by Trevor who mischievously threw rocks at birds. When Trevor hit a raven, Hilda took him home and helped him fill out the paperwork required to see elves. After her mother Johanna put the raven outside without knowing it was the raven the parade was dedicated to and tells Hilda that the parade is about a great raven, Hilda tells her mom that the raven inside their house was probably the specific raven the parade was referring to. After Trevor captures the great raven and blackmails it into speaking to show his friends that he wasn't crazy about the raven talking (the raven talked earlier), Alfur scared Trevor which made him accidentally drop the cage. Hilda dove into the lake to rescue the raven and remind him that he is the great raven. This restored his memory. He transformed into a greater size with Hilda on his back and told her that he comes to the parade every year because they think that he brings good luck due to being on a town statue centuries ago when the harvest was very good.
- Despite Hilda being reluctant about traveling to the city, it's certainly not corrupting as she was homesick and unfamiliar with a new location.
- After swearing an oath to become a Sparrow Scout, she made friends with Frida and David. For their first project as a group, they decided to clean up an area outside the city wall. They believed that they were digging up weeds but they were actually digging up Vittra (sentient plant-like beings that go to the surface every year for sunlight). After a very rude Vittra told them that they accidentally sent his friends to be mulched, Hilda rescued them.
- After David accidentally picked up a baby troll in the previous episode, Hilda brought it back to its mother when she busted into the school. Although she kept the whole thing a secret, she only did it to prevent a crisis, as Trolberg does not take kindly to trolls.
- When David was haunted with bad dreams from a Marra (a mystical girl who gives people bad dreams), Hilda traded places with David and got a nightmare about not being able to ride a bike. David, not wanting Hilda to just have nightmares while he got off scoot free, offered himself to the marra but she believed that scaring a willing victim is no fun. This lead to the marra ignoring both of them.
- When a group of outcast elves named the Bragga came into conflict with more peaceful elves, Hilda found out that in order to break the contract that kept the outcasts apart from the main elves, she needed to find a dragon to burn the contract and set them free from it, as the saying goes “only by the flame of the dragon may the contract become invalid”. She found the specific dragon, and she burned the contract after Hilda makes a deal with her.
- She used tide mice to give David luck with auditing for a choir, and Johanna luck for her job at a hardware store. However, after she realized it would take their souls she performed a counter ritual with Alfur.
- When Frida's room was found messy because the ghost who cleaned it stopped cleaning it and her favorite book was missing, Frida lost confidence. Frida chased the ghost's sister since she believed that she took it. Hilda took the book, but found out it's not the one they were looking for. Though she failed to recover the book, Hilda tried to uplift Frida only for the latter to lash out at David and Hilda
- She freed a weather spirit from Victoria the “weather predictor” after she learned that Victoria was using it to manipulate the weather so that her forecasts would always be correct. This led to the weather spirit reuniting with its parent.
- When stuck in a magical house that gave her anything she wanted, instead of living there in intense luxury, she decided to wish for a doorway to her mother's house.
- She allowed Tontu the Nisse (they're all called Tontu) to live in her house.
- She saved Frida from the Marra and the Black Hound stalking Trolberg. This made them reconcile.
- Eventually, she and her mother worked out their relationship with Tontu despite her mother's uneasy relationship with him.
Season 2[]
- In the season premiere's cold opening, Hilda rescued a house with an elf inside from an unknown and weird creature. She brought the elf to a place she thought was his. Although the elf realized that it wasn't the location of his house originally, Hilda ran off so fast that she couldn't hear him.
- In the main portion of the season premiere, Hilda rescues the chief Erik Ahlberg from a troll and gathers more info on trolls that she gives to Ahlberg. She tells Ahlberg that trolls are annoyed by bells and that they don't really help with anything, since they don't immobilize them, just agitate them to the point where they become more aggressive and fast. Despite leaving Deputy Gerda behind in the episode, it was the only option and she told them to leave her. In the end, Deputy Gerda was still alive and Hilda learned a bit more about troll behavior as she realized that trolls were resting closer to the city.
- Hilda made a deal with the Rat King (a hive mind of rats) to root for info on Erik Ahlberg due to Ahlberg's dimwittedness (he is a villain due to causing numerous problems with trolls in the series sometimes unintentionally and sometimes intentionally to seek fame). She found a rotten cod sandwich as her end of the deal. However, when the woodman told her of pirate ghosts named "Draugen" who are trapped under a curse that makes them sea ghosts, and are in pain and separated from their loved ones, Hilda saved them by bringing them to their deceased relatives in the city graveyard.
- While she did annoy a weather spirit to make them appear, she only did it as a last resort. Also, she made up with him later in the episode.
- When Kaiser the witch is condemned to spend her life in the void of no return due to Matilda Pilqvist the witch not returning her book for many years, which leads the librarian who loaned it to her being sent to the void, Hilda and Frida join Kaiser in finding the borrower. Hilda, Frida and Kaiser go on a bunch of life threatening trials (including going through a room filled with long spikes) to finally get to the witch. Pilqvist herself attempts to convince the council who want to send Kaiser, Hilda and Frida to the void to stop them from going to the void. When they accidentally get sent to the void Hilda finds a book that helps them survive.
- When Frida and David found a viking clan stuck in eternal battle with each other. Hilda found out that Sigurd the swamp man had been constantly reviving both sides with a potion to fight over a medallion that makes people unable to feel fear. She ends the conflict by telling one of the clans about the resurrections of both sides. It makes that side end their conflict and with a potion that revives people. And the other side keeps the medallion.
- Attempted to stop Victoria's machine with Tontu's help who planned to enter the Nowhere space. She rescued Frida from Victoria and attempted to stop Victoria from entering a portal to an unknown location due to the location possibly being dangerous. Even before she realizes that Victoria was up to no good again, Hilda genuinely believed Victoria was reformed.
- When Erik Ahlberg attempted to station bells all over Trolberg in an attempt to gain fame for “helping” Trolberg, Hilda knew that the bells made Trolls agitated rather than pacified. She also knew that it would disturb other local creatures such as the Woffs, the Nisse, the Elves and the rest of Trolberg. She sabotaged the awful plan with the help of the Keeper of the Bell.
- When the Lindworm that lives on a neighboring island was accused of attacking numerous ships and eating them, Hilda defended the Lindworm, stating she eats plants rather than ships. She found the Woodman’s head out at sea. She found out that it was really a kraken stealing ships to feed its children. Hilda told Frida to make a mental connection to the kraken to tell it to instead feed its children ships from a ship graveyard. Due to this, Trolberg was freed from its “Lindworm problem” and Woodman gets his body back. However, Johanna found out that Hilda had frequently lied about her “Scout Activities” and grounded her.
- After being grounded and told to stay in their home building for the entire day, she finds out her neighbor, Peter Ostenfeld had been visiting the past using magical reprints of a magazine. After getting a magazine herself, she decided to visit the past and learn more about this night with him. She found out that Peter had been visiting the night to relive his memories of meeting Matilda Pilqvist, due to regretting that he didn't confess his feelings to Matilda; Hilda decided to make the past versions of Peter and Matilda get in the relationship Peter's past self always wanted. However, upon returning to the present, where Peter and Matilda are married, Hilda discovered that everything from the previous timeline was being chased to be eaten up by the timeworm due to elements from the previous timeline not supposed to exist on the new one including the previous versions of Hilda, Peter and Matilda. The new timeline version of Hilda protects her previous version while the original Matilda used her magic to immobilize the timeworm. The new timeline versions of Matilda and Peter destroy the first magic magazine, reverting the timeline to its previous state. The timeworm then devours elements of the second timeline and Hilda learns her mistake and finally accepts being grounded by her mother after they reconcile. In the end Hilda understands that she was grounded for lying and her actions her consequences.
- After Twig feels neglected by Johanna and Hilda he escaped back into the wilderness. Remembering where she met Twig, Hilda went to the wilderness where she and Johanna got ambushed but a red wolf. Twig saves them and they all find a herd of Deer-Fox. Hilda allowed Twig to stay with his parents but ultimately Twig chose to stay with Hilda.
- In the winter time, Hilda, Frida and David sold broth to Sparrow Scouts, numerous people and Yule Lads to buy her mother a snow globe. After it was revealed that the Lads fed naughty children to Gryla the Ogre, Hilda convinced the Lads to give Gryla broth instead. The Lads were able to release the children as a result. David managed to buy Hilda the snow globe to give to her mother.
- When Hilda accidentally brought Tide Mice to delivery man Gil Jones, they rode with him to Jorts HQ, a company that produces the Jorts snack. Once inside, the Tide Mice feasted on the Jorts, forcing Hilda, Frida, David and Kaisa to capture them all. Frida, Kaisa, Tildy and the high witches that wanted to banish Kaisa to the void casted a spell to banish them all.
- When Gerda Gustav captured 2 races of elves, Hilda worked with Alfur and elf accountant Alvin to save them.
- While she did argue with her mother a second time, she doesn't display such qualities again afterward.
- It should also be noted that Hilda was willing to listen to her mother after they were trapped in the mountain.
The Mountain King[]
- When she found Trundle imprisoned inside a cave with numerous bells used as prison bars, she helped Trundle in numerous ways like: giving him a refreshing drink, removing the bells that imprisoned him, and giving him a “precious red object” later revealed to be an eye. She later realized the error of her ways after Trundle revealed his true nature.
- She saved Trolberg and the Trolls and avoided and prevented Erik Ahlberg from committing mass murder, using an illegal weapon that shoots lights, being their weakness of them.
