Hilda

Hilda is the titular protagonist from Luke Pearson's graphic novel series of the same name, which was adapted into a similarly-titled animated series released in Netflix on 2018. Hilda is a headstrong and adventurous child who likes exploring and encountering many strange creatures. She was born at a house in the middle of the wilderness, where she lives with her loving mother, pet deerfox Twig, and a tiny elf named Alfur Aldric. After the first few episodes, her family migrates into the nearby city of Trolberg after their original home was accidentally destroyed by a giant.

The show is mostly well-received by critics and audiences alike, including the /co/ board where the show became mainly known for its "comfy" atmosphere. But as expected of the internet, the show has had explicit and dark fan arts as well; a notable example is a Korean fan comic depicting Hilda kidnapped before being rescued by Rainbow Six Siege operators.

Tournament history
Hilda made her first Ms. /co/ appearance in the 2019 edition where she lost to Jessica Rabbit in the second round. She managed to secure the 8th seed in the following year but was met with a first-round loss to Ms. Bellum, earning her the dubious honours of becoming the first Top 8-seeded girl to lose in that stage, and one of the biggest upsets seed-wise in the tournament's history.

Hilda would finally make it big in Ms. /co/ 2021. Qualifying at seed #12, the young adventurer was one of the few higher seeds to have survived until the later rounds, and benefited from being featured in many fan arts from that year. She defeated Unikitty, Sandy, and Millie in the first 3 rounds before winning her rematch against #5 seed Jessica to reach the Elite Eight. Then, she overcame thematic favourite Eris by just 12 votes in the quarter-finals to set up a mother vs. daughter match against Johanna in the semis (who defeated Lord Dominator beforehand). However, Hilda's protagonist status did not help her chances, as Johanna advanced to the final with a resounding margin instead; anons attributed her mother's win to "anti-loli" voters, MILF voters, and potential strategic votes from other parties. Hilda then faced another rematch against Miss Bellum and defeated her by 28 votes to secure third place. Overall, 2021 was a big win for the show's fans despite not claiming the championship. Because of her performance, Hilda is suspended for one year, and will make her next eligible return in the 2023 edition.

Outside of Miss /co/, Hilda's partnership with the deerfox Twig, under the name Trolberg Jumpers, had a solid run in the 2020 tag team contest, taking down the Christmas-themed first seed The Miser Bros (Heat Miser / Snow Miser) to reach the top 16, where they lost to eventual third placers Miguel and Tulio from El Dorado.
