Hilda in Lake-town
In TA 2941, when Bard the Bowman is smuggling the Dwarves into the town, Hilda notices them walking in the town while she is examining her Athelas plants. She is among the citizens who witness the Dwarves fighting and knocking out the guards before they could arrest them. When Braga and his men arrive to find out what is going on, Hilda quickly drops one of her plants to knock out one of the guards that is waking up and hides the Dwarves from sight. After the incident, Hilda later gossips to a Net Mender and his partner of what she had seen earlier and the word would later spread all over town that the Dwarves have came to reclaim the Lonely Mountain.
She is among the survivors that escape Smaug's attack on Lake-town in a boat, and makes it alive to the shores of the Long Lake. While passing out warm jackets, Alfrid came by and demands that she pass him one. Hilda refuses and tells him that he isn't in charge anymore. This causes Alfrid to grab her and attempt to kill her for insulting him, but Bard and his son Bain manage to stop him in time and save Hilda's life. She is quite surprised and happy that Bard is alive and pledges her loyalty to him. When Bard declares that they must move on, she questions him on what the people should do. Together, Hilda and the people of Lake-town take shelter at the ruined city of Dale.
During the Battle of Five Armies, when a legion of Guldur Orcs are breaching the walls of Dale under the command of Azog the Defiler, Hilda is sent to hide in a building with the rest of the women and children. After impatiently and anxiously waiting, she finally gives in and declares that the rest of the women should fight and defend their home as well. Many agree with her and each grab a weapon, followed by the rest of the group. When a bundled up "woman" is revealed to be Alfrid, Hilda once again insults him for being a filthy and greedy coward. She leads the people out of the hall and they charge directly at the oncoming Orcs that are coming their way. Hilda doesn't back down, and she proves her strength in plunging her weapon into an Orc's chest. She survives the battle as she is present at the coronation of Dáin II.
