This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality.

Hilda Harken (ヒルダ・ハーケン) is a character introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.

Personality & Character[]

A supporter of the Clyne family and their peaceful future for humanity, Hilda is extremely dedicated and loyal to Lacus Clyne.

Skills & Abilities[]

She is the leader of the DOM Trooper team, and the machines they pilot have numbering on the left shoulder and right leg to identify them, with Hilda being "003".

Physical Aspects & Clothing[]

Hilda is a woman with shoulder-length orange hair and dark blue eyes. After losing her right eye, she began wearing an eyepatch over it. Like her fellow DOM Trooper pilots, Hilda wears a custom black and purple ZAFT pilot suit when in battle.

History[]

Hilda was a ZAFT Red Coat who supported PLANT Chairman Siegel Clyne and his cooperative vision for the future. After the First Alliance-PLANT War, Hilda left ZAFT and joined the Three Ships Alliance, working under the Clyne Faction.

Second Alliance-PLANT War[]

Hilda and her teammates piloted their ZGMF-XX09T DOM Trooper during ZAFT's Invasion of Orb.[1] Hilda continued to fight for the Three Ships Alliance up until the Battle of Messiah. After the war, when Lacus was made the new Chairwoman of the PLANT, Hilda rejoined ZAFT and re-acquired her Red Coat status.[2]

Fighting for Compass[]

Hilda and her team follow Lacus after her brief term as PLANT Supreme Chairwoman as she established Compass to serve as the new peacekeeping force. Hilda switches her DOM Trooper in favor of the ZGMF-2027/A GYAN Strom. Hilda's team becomes subordinate to Compass' Commodore Kira Yamato and are transferred to the new LHM-BB03S Millennium and were kept on standby while Kira's team descended to Earth to quell a Blue Cosmos attack on Aldrin City. Hilda and her team greet the other pilots when they return to space with Hilda having fun teasing Lunamaria Hawke.[3]

Foundation Conflict[]

Hilda's team joins Compass' joint expedition on Earth with the Eurasian Federation and the Kingdom of Foundation when the leader of the Blue Cosmos remnants, Michael, has been found in the border territory of Eldore. Hilda's team is tasked with supporting the Archangel, and the mission goes smoothly until Kira suddenly advances into Eurasian territory despite their warnings that it would be considered an invasion.[3]

Hilda and the others fail to call Kira back, and this gives Foundation's Black Knight Squad the excuse to attack Kira's STTS-909 Rising Freedom Gundam. To further add confusion, the Black Knights then cut off communication for the Compass forces at Eldore, isolating them from the rear guard. In an attempt to bring order, the Archangel advances forward but spots suspicious movements from Daniel Harper and Liu Shenqiang's NOG-M4F Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A's. Shinn and Hilda attempt to reinforce Kira but Shinn is intercepted by Griffin Arbalest's Rud-ro.A "Emerald" while Hilda is bombarded by the Black Knights' AMF-101Q/4 DINN-R,destroying her GYAN Strom's left arm.[3]

Unable to move from her position, Hilda is powerless when both Liu and Harper's Rud-ro.A's kill both Mars and Herbert as well as sink the Archangel. With the Eurasian Federation's nuclear missiles being launched at the Eldore region, Hilda rescues Shinn after his STTS-808 Immortal Justice Gundam is bisected by Griffin, firing missiles that distract Griffin long enough for her to retrieve Shinn. The pair are forced to abandon the field, barely escaping the nuclear strike that wipes out the region.[3]

Soon after, Hilda joins the other survivors and are met by Athrun Zala, who had been making undercover investigations on Foundation and the Black Knights. Athrun reveals the Black Knights to be an advanced group of Coordinators known as Accords that have telepathic powers and were responsible for hypnotizing Kira into suddenly charging forward. Murrue then follows-up that they had noticed the Black Knights emerging from where the Eurasian Federation's nukes were stored, implying that the attack was most likely a false flag operation.[3]

To their horror, Foundation makes a global announcement of their continuation of the late Gilbert Durandal's Destiny Plan. In retaliation for the attack at Eldore, Foundation uses a repaired Requiem to destroy the Eurasian capital of Moscow. In conjunction with this, ZAFT Defense Committee Chair Hari Jagannath leads a rebellion to take control of ZAFT before swinging them to the side of Foundation. Finally, Athrun reports that in the hasty evacuation of Foundation to space, Lacus was forced to accompany Queen Aura Maha Khyber and was now held in the fortress Artemis.[3]

Athrun suggests first rescuing Lacus to demoralize Jagannath's forces, but Kira, having grown fatigued by the endless battles and in despair that he failed to bring the peace that Lacus dreamed of, resigns himself to their fate. This leads to a brawl between Kira and Athrun with the latter beating down the former repeatedly while exposing his personal issues. Hilda keeps Shinn from stopping the fight as she believes it was necessary for the two friends to release their emotions. As Hilda hoped, Kira is finally able to tell the others that he felt only he could bring peace, but Athrun and Murrue Ramius correct him by stating Lacus desired to enjoy peace with a partner, not for it to be given at her command.[3]

With Compass suspended by Kira's actions, Hilda and the others are forced to arm themselves and attempt to hijack the Millennium. Hilda works with Shinn but accidentally ends up witnessing his tearful reunion with Lunamaria instead. Fortunately, the attack goes without bloodhsed as Millennium captain Alexei Konoe predicted their arrival and was already prepared to "surrender". Because her GYAN Strom was still damaged, Hilda received Lunamaria's GELGOOG Menace while the latter switched to the ZGMF-56E2 Impulse Gundam Spec II.[3]

Though the Orb forces at Akatsuki Island throw a spectacle to look like they were "fighting" the hijackers, this does not deter Foundation's attempt to target Orb's capital, Olofat. Fortunately, Kira sends a direct message threatening to expose the truth of Eldore, provoking Aura into switching the target to the Millennium. Albert Heinlein's hacking of Foundation's system allows the Millennium to read the attack, making a sharp turn to avoid the blast before rushing to space to fight Foundation directly.[3]

In the Battle of Requiem, Hilda is sent out to support the Millennium's advance while a strike force led by Athrun and Kira would infiltrate Artemis and rescue Lacus. Hilda is able to defend her allies long enough for Kira to escape with Lacus and cripple Artemis's beam barrier defense to force Queen Aura to join the battle herself. Thanks to Lacus' rescue and ZAFT loyalists ousting Jagannath's forces at home, most of the ZAFT forces withdraw, allowing Hilda to turn her attention back to Foundation forces. Noticing Shinn fighting against all four of the Black Knights' Rud-ro.A's, Hilda joins the fray, hiding behind one of the ZGMF/A-42S2 Destiny Gundam Spec II's after-images and striking down Redelard Tradoll's Rud-ro.A "Garnet", causing a large shock to the other Black Knights. Shinn would help her avenge Mars and Herbert by striking down the remaining three Rud-ro.A's before Hilda supported Shinn's attack on Requiem.[3]

With all of Foundation's leaders killed in battle and Requiem destroyed, Hilda returned back to the Millennium after the battle's end.[3]
