Hilling

Hilling (ヒリング, sometimes romanized as Jiling) is King Bosse's second wife, the second queen of the Bosse Kingdom, Bojji's step-mother, and Daida's birth-mother.

Appearance
Hilling is a thin, average-height woman with long blond hair, a prominent nose, and blue eyes. She typically wears her hair in a style that makes it appear chin-length. Her preferred outfit is a red bustle dress with a white fur-tufted neck, white gloves, and a solid gold crown.

Personality
To most Hilling appears to have a very brusque personality, and behaves in a distant, reserved manner befitting her rank as Queen. In reality Hilling cares deeply for the people around her, particularly her two sons, and is just bad at conveying her emotions.

Unfortunately Bojji took the brunt of Hilling's brusqueness, with Hilling's initial affection for him slowly changing into a domineering protectiveness that severely underestimated her step-son, and ruined their hard-won intimacy. It wasn't until Bojji, deeply distraught over being passed-over for kingship, attempted to escape the kingdom that Hilling realized her own behavior had driven a wedge between them. She then began to relax her protectiveness and allow Bojji more freedom.

Hilling was similarly domineering with Daida, insisting he become an exceptionally-strong man to help protect his brother. Though this motivated Daida, it also made him resent Bojji, and the two have yet to reconcile. Beyond that Hilling and Daida had a relatively loving, if cordial relationship.

Drushi, Hilling's personal bodyguard, was one of the first to understand her personality, and has since become one of her closest allies (though even he is kept at a relative distance).

Healing Magic
Hilling has the supernatural ability to heal wounds and injuries on other people, though doing so requires enormous concentration, saps her strength quickly, and forces her to drink magic potions to restore her strength (which are apparently disgusting).

Holy Light
Hilling possesses a second, lesser-seen form of magic called Holy Light. While she considers it a simple blinding attack with bright white light, it seems to be the only ability that has ever inflicted damage on Ouken.

Other Magic
The true extent of Hilling's magical abilities are currently unknown. She seems to have some significant capabilities outside of her healing magic, including instantly sensing the nature of the Magic Mirror.

Trivia

 * Hilling's healing magic saved the life of Mitsumata, the giant, double-headed snake.
 * Miranjo specifically selected Hilling as a new wife for King Bosse, a part of her long-running plans for the Bosse Kingdom. Apparently Hilling's lineage and abilities played into this decision.
 * Her name (ヒリング=Hiringu) derives from the word Healing (ヒーリング=Hiiringu)
