General

Gallery

David's dad is a secondary character of Hilda television series. He is the unnamed father of David.

Appearance

He is a blond man with short hair and a large beard that extends across his face. He appears to have black eyes like his son.

He usually wears a white shirt with red sleeves, dark blue pants and gray shoes. Sometimes he also wears a brown jacket over his usual attire at important events.

Personality

From what little we see of him, David's dad seems to be optimistic and is always happy to encourage his son as much as possible, as in the parents night when David presents his collection of stones, he is clearly proud.

He seems to be a bit confused on occasion, like when Hilda disguises herself as David in Chapter 6: The Nightmare Spirit. He didn't even notice it was actually Hilda instead of David when he stopped his "son" to check for any bugs. In Chapter 5: The Troll Rock, he saw himself convinced that his son really was dancing when he was rolling around the floor, while in reality David was trying to hide a young troll under his sweater.

David's dad seems to be a loving husband and a loving father, clearly caring about his family and giving his support or comfort when they need it.

Relationships

He is married to David's mom, and has David as a son.

When he and his wife are first seen in the crowd during Chapter 3: The Bird Parade, there are two other children with them; a blonde boy and girl. It is unknown what their relation with him is since these kids are never seen again after this one scene.

Appearances

Other media

Both he and his wife are never seen or mentioned in the graphic novels.

The Hilda Tie-In Series does occasionally mention them, most prominently in "Hilda and the Great Parade", where Ms. Hallgrim tells Hilda she received complains from both David's and Frida's parents regarding their adventure with the Bragga Family. However, he still plays no direct role in any of the stories.

Trivia

He and his wife seems to have a Welsh accent.
When David was born his dad bought a video camera to record all his achievements.
His design is based on the director of the show, Andy Coyle. Same goes with David's mum, which is based on Andy's wife, Erika Coyle. She's also working on the show in Mercury Filmworks.^[1] Additionally, in episode 3, there's a scene where David's parents can be seen with two other kids in the background, which they are based on Andy and Erika's children.^[2] This could indicate that it is actually Coyle's family that was shown in episode 3, not David's parents with David's supposed siblings.
