How are you, Hilda? It still hurts to remember you

May my requiem accompany you on your adventure in the afterlife

I know you miss mum, Twig, and all your friends

But don't fret, as your adventure is everlasting

Speculations

Hilda Grows with Each Graphic Novels
The graphic novel series begins with Hildafolk, where Hilda met a trespassing Wood Man and her incident with a large troll. Hilda is portrayed as a prepared, but easily panics under pressure. Her inexperience as an adventurer can be seen when she did not fully finish learning about trolls before adventuring, when she fell asleep near the troll rock, and when she tried to remove the bell by herself.

The following books slowly portray Hilda as a more competent and careful adventurer, as seen in the latest book when she can easily traverse the dangerous stone forest and survive the pursuit from a fierce two-headed troll. She also becomes more brash and confrontational with her mother, often going on adventure without her mother's permission, unlike the first book when Hilda ask for permission to sleep in a tent outside the house.

Is Hilda a Vegetarian?
Hilda is implied to be a vegetarian in Hilda and the Mountain King, when troll Hilda refuses her meal and request a vegetarian food. In Hilda Creatures, the choice of foods provided to the players are either desserts, cucumber sandwiches, or veggie burgers. However, in Sparrow Scout Badge Guide, the ingredients for Hilda's favorite cucumber sandwiches include butter. Butter, by all means, is not vegetarian.

Hilda is Musically Gifted
One of the lesser known items in Hilda's bag is a wooden flute. The flute appears in Hildafolk at the page depicting Hilda's room, sitting comfortably on the drawer next to her bed and in Hilda and the Bird Parade in the dream sequence, carrying the flute inside her bag. Even though Hilda is never seen in the book playing it, the fact that she carries the flute around on journey or keeps it close to her bed means that she can or often playing the flute. In Hilda Creatures, Hilda can play any musical instruments ranging from banjos to electric guitars. These occasions may prove that Hilda is musically gifted.

Are every Nisse called Tontu?
Every Nisse that Hilda met during the search of Tontu claimed that 'Tontu' is their name. However, Nisses are well known for lying and thus it is possible that Tontu is not their name.

Are Nisses Eligible to Join Sparrow Scouts?
In Hilda and the Black Hound, when Hilda returns to line after receiving her scouts' scarf, standing next to her is a boy scout with his hair covering his face and his nose sticking out and next to him a girl scout with a long blond hair covering her face and her right eye jutting out. The girl scout bears resemblance to a tail-less Nisse named Birgit Tontu from Hilda Creatures and the boy scout resembles common Nisse with hairs covering his facial features. If both characters are actually Nisses, then it is possible for Nisses to become a member of Sparrow Scouts.

How old is Baba?
When Baba becomes a human child, she cannot speak English words and only speaks in babbling. Human Baba is also diapered and has same height as Tontu (shorter than Hilda). This may indicate that Baba's age is the same as a baby human at the events of Hilda and the Stone Forest.

The Unfortunate Effect of Changeling
The weird spell that turned Hilda into a troll and Baba into a human is called changeling, and it has no known way to reverse the spell (until both character accidentally reversed it). The spell clearly does not change the character completely, as both characters still have similar features as their previous selves and memories of their former selves. If they never reverse the spell, they may grow up as an imperfect creature, Hilda will be a troll longing to be with her mother (while rejected by human civilization) and Baba will become a person with no ears, no hair, and no functional nose. Now the answer of why Baba cannot speak English or responds to Johanna is so eerie.

After Becoming a Troll, Hilda can Understand Troll Language
At the end of Hilda and The Mountain King, Hilda (already returned as a human) tells her mother what Amma says to the trolls gathering at the center of Trolberg. It is possible that after the changeling, human Hilda can understand and translate troll language.
