Hildegard von Krone (ヒルデガルド・フォン・クローネ Hirudegarudo fon Kurōne), or Hilde (ヒルダ Hiruda) for short, is a character in the Soul series of fighting games.
Appearance[]
Hilde's primary outfit in Soulcalibur IV consists of a suit of armor decorated with a wolf motif; an unusually practical attire, given the Soul series's reputation for mostly scantily-clad characters. Her secondary outfit is an elegant blue dress with her long, red hair let down. It has been described as a beautiful, yet non-sexualized costume for a woman, which is very uncommon in the Soul series. In Soulcalibur V, Hilde still wears armor but this time, it's decorated by a griffin motif. Her secondary outfit has a Three Musketeers theme. Weapons
Personality[]
Like in her previous installments, Crown Princess-Regent Hilde is a brave and emotionally strong princess. She is also quite honorable as can be seen in her quotes as well as expressing her willingness and passion to help the citizens of Wolfkrone against threats, like the malfested. She has wisdom beyond her years, taking the oath as regent to ascend the throne in lieu of her father in her preadolescent years, later taking duties as commander-in-chief of the Wolfkrone army at only 18.
Relationships[]
Siegfried Schtauffen[]
Hilde had sought Siegfried before the events of Soulcalibur IV offering her assistance to help him kill Nightmare. Of course Siegfried denied the help, saying that the battle was his alone, and that he didn’t want anyone getting hurt or ending up dead. Later, when her kingdom fell, she joined Siegfried in the Schwarzwind mercenary group.
