God. You know what gets me? We always thought Johanna was the normal one, the one that was city versus wilderness, normal versus Hilda's chaos.
But Johanna is the one who's half fairy, and she, instead of Hilda, chaos incarnate, wilderness lover, is being drawn to stay on the island. Hilda, on the other hand, wants to go home, to Earth, to Trolberg, to her friends, to her and Johanna's adopted family.
It's so ironic that Hilda is actually the one who is more human than Johanna-- literally. She's only one-fourth fairy, and she's got magic from Earth-bound creatures like the trolls (re: being turned into a troll for a time and now being able to understand what they're saying).
It's such an interesting reversal: Hilda was originally the one who didn't want to leave the wilderness when Johanna wanted to, and now, now that that seems like the only thing left, to live in unfiltered magical wilderness, Hilda just wants to return to Trolberg.
God. This show is incredible.
