I think she's cool. And it's strangely appropriate for a valkyrie from Nordic mythology to be cast as a demon. Nowadays we view the valkyries as honorable shieldmaidens who escort fallen warriors to Asgard and serve them mead in Valhalla. However, back then the vikings tended to view them as rather fickle bloodthirsty creatures who decided the fate of battles. The valkyrie called Härfjätter (rough translation would be Hostchain i.e. somebody who chains armies) was attributed with the power of instilling such profound terror in warriors that they froze in place unable to do anything.

how did you find all of that out? you seem very smart ^^ i love the attitude women like Hild and Urd have. they are powerful yet they are not cruel and unkind unless they have to be... wait...Urd can be mean sometimes... oh well ^^ i still like them both!

*struts* I am such a GENIUS!!!
It helps if you know one of the Scandinavian languages. Makes it easier to find quality sources on Nordic mythology and viking age history.
And yeah, that there are certain rules of conduct for both demons and deities makes for better stories. Instead of being mere destructive brutes, demons can have an honorable side. It's also clear that one reason Hild is so dangerous is that she knows negotiation and manipulation often works better than direct confrontation. And if some poor sap forgets to read the fine print... well, that's just too bad (mw-haha).

I'm quite fond of Hild in my own way. ^-^ She's beautiful, without question, and also very loving in her own way. It's also hard not to admire her for the power she wields.
Also, I find it amusing that she holds two aspects of the Valkryies, namely the beautiful romanticized version as Odin's Shield-Maidens, and on the other hand the fact that Valkyries never did actual combat but were still considered as the spirits of slaughter. ^_^ While Hild does battle Belldandy at one point, she usually makes up clever schemes, to play with them.
She rules. :D
