The New York Times review by Pamela Paul of the volume Hilda and the Bird Parade draws comparisons between Pearson's fantastic worlds and the creations of Hayao Miyazaki, further stating: "In Hilda’s world, daytime is drawn in burnt orange, maroon and drab olive, and the night is an icy, eerie wash of dark teal and minty blue.

Luke Pearson, Stephen Davies, Sapo Lendário Luke Pearson, Stephen Davies, Victoria Evans Luke Pearson, Stephen Davies, Seaerra Miller Re-released as Hilda and the Troll in 2013 by Flying Eye Books (London), ISBN 978-1909263147 In her youth she was a Sparrow Scout, a fictional Trolberg equivalent to scouting groups.
Even though she interacts with her classmates and fellow scouts, she mostly keeps to herself, preferring to explore and make friends with fantastical creatures. Hilda - The main heroine, a headstrong, smart, kind and curious girl, keen on exploring the world around her with an open mind.In the fourth book, Hilda joins Trolberg's Sparrow Scouts. Hilda's world is inhabited by regular people as well as fantastical creatures like trolls, giants, elves and spirits. The titular character is a small girl, who in the first two books lives with her mother in a cottage on a plain surrounded by mountains and forests, but later moves to the city Trolberg. They draw inspiration from Scandinavian folklore and the Moomins. Twig, at some point, signed the paperwork and is able to interact with Alfur.The graphic novels are set in a fantastic world resembling a late 20th century Scandinavia.The animated series does not state how long ago exactly they met, and both events happened on the same day. The book " Hilda and the White Woff" claims that Hilda first met Twig five years ago, but after she rescued him it wasn't until two years later that he returned the favor and became her pet.This was proven correct when " Chapter 9: The Deerfox" showed what adult deer-fox look like. In a community stream on May 21st, 2020 at 11PM ( GMT +0 ), director of television series, Andy Coyle, confirmed that Twig is yet to be a fully grown deer-fox.Hilda gave Twig his name based on how his underdeveloped antlers reminded her of little twigs.He can still be seen as such in the hardcover release of Hilda and the Troll, but he was recolored for the paperback version. In the original publication of Hildafolk, Twig had blue fur, a white underbelly, and white antlers.Twig's antlers have been said by David to be pointy and were able to hold their own against a hit from a garden spade, implying that they are much stronger than they look.He also gets along well with Hilda's other friends, David, Frida, and Alfur, and Hilda's mother Johanna.ħ. He will try to defend her even against bigger opponents or if he's outnumbered.Ī flashback in " The Deerfox" shows that the two met when Twig was trapped underneath some rocks and young Hilda saved him, after which he returned the favor by rescuing her from an eagle, but in doing so got separated from his Deer-Fox Herd. He has been her pet since before the start of either the graphic novel series or the animated series, and is very loyal to her.
He has a sharp sense of smell he was even able to follow the scent of a Marra despite her ability to teleport. He is usually quick to realize something is not right, or a certain person/creature cannot be trusted.
He also isn't too fond of Water Spirits, as proven in " Chapter 7: The Lost Clan", when he refused to come along with Hilda and Frida when a water spirit gave them a ride to the island of the Lindworm. However, he can also be scared, as seen in " Chapter 1: The Hidden People", when he gets scared by a troll. When he is protective, he goes in front of Hilda and growls at anyone that she doesn't know when they go up to her. Twig is a protective, trusty and brave animal who likes to help Hilda. Notably, in the epilogue of Hilda and the Mountain King, Twig does not look any larger than he did in the rest of the series, despite this scene being set a year after the rest of the movie.
In his younger days, his antlers were little more than two tiny bumps on his head. He has black antlers on the top of his head and has a long, bushy tail, and some spots on his back.
