Hildette is a shy spinster, always cocooned in rags and uses her knowledge of local curatives and midwifery to help Stromdorf's poor womenfolk. Her tumbledown shack near the Wissenland Gate is heady with the aroma of drying herbs. She ministers to women and the destitute. She is mistrusted by men who whipser of witchcraft.

"Come now dear, not to worry... we're not cutting holes or hair in here."
