save Raimon's life. She later goes to Japan with Adelaide and Kotobuki. One of her lackeys loves her, and attempts to propose, but she claims that she will not accept until it is more romantic. She originally claims her wish is for riches, power, and lovers, but it is actually to revive her younger sister, who was killed by a bandit while they were young. She originally came from a rich family, but they were attacked by bandits and she was then taken in by a thief boss. Hil is a colonel, and has considerable power within the army.
