In IV, the man wanted nothing to do with her. Fire-Forged Friends: With Siegfried, apparently.However the general style of Wolfkrone harkens to several small Germanic territories of the time that did actually exist note even in the 19th Century, the Holy Roman Empire was composed of 42 separate states and 38 of them, like Wolfkrone, were mini-monarchies. Fictional Country: Unlike most of the other combatants, Hilde hails from the 'Kingdom of Wolfkrone' a small, made-up monarchy situated between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire.

Almost humorous considering she was banned from many tournaments in the later part of lifecycle of Soulcalibur IV due to a genuine Game-Breaker feature she had.

In spite of the incredible niche-ness of some of these combos, this didn't stop some folks from declaring her to be a ban-worthy Game-Breaker in Soulcalibur V at least briefly.

Difficult, but Awesome: Her style requires the player to hold an attack button down several seconds to charge up attacks to help continue her juggles, which require precise timing and can be chained into loops in exceptionally difficult combos that have different timing depending on which character and the angle they are started from.

Cool Helmet: Well, her entire suit of armor is cool, really, but the helmet is a big part of it.

By holding down either horizontal or vertical attack buttons she can release up to four different levels of charged attack depending on how long it was charged.

Charged Attack: Her primary gimmick uses the Hold style of charge.

Like most Germanic princesses, she would be styled Her Serene Highness Princess Hildegard. Raphael is also stated to be nobility, but his rank within the French peerage is never specified.

Blue Blood: As a princess, she ranks highest of all the characters on a social level, followed closely by Ivy, a countess.

Blade on a Stick: Her long-range weapon is a lance with a the banner of the Wolfkrone monarchy's coat of arms attached at the tip.

Battle Ballgown: Her 2p outfit in IV is a period-correct Elizabethan style dress complete with leg-of-mutton sleeves and a ruff.

And then, you can go through all of it just for your foe to easily read it and sidestep it. While you're charging, you can only perform A attacks and kicks, with are both limited range, and you can't throw either. It is achieved by holding down B for 30 seconds.

Awesome, but Impractical: One move not listed in her move list is an unblockable forward thrust that utterly annihilates most of your opponent's HP.

Animal Motifs: As seen on her armor, which incorporates wolves in SCIV, and griffons in SCV.

The Wolfkrone Monument stage is a carousel complete with animatronic musicians.

Advanced Ancient Acropolis: The Soul series is set in the late 16th century.Action Mom: As of SCV, she is 35 years old and a mother to two young children.Her overall style focuses on keeping the opponent at bay with her lance from afar, while defending herself with her short sword up close. By holding down both attack buttons for a set period of time, she will use more powerful moves depending on how long the button was held.

Her vertical attacks involve her sword, while her horizontal attacks involve her lance. Hilde can be considered the first 'charge' character in the series.
