Hildegarde Antoinette "Hilda" Spellman is a character featured in the Archie comic book Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
[3] Upon becoming Aunt Hilda, the character was depicted as a tall and thin Caucasian woman with red hair.
Starting in the late 1990s, Hilda's (and Zelda)'s appearances and personalities were revamped to make her more contemporary (as well as match the live-action sitcom's take on the character).
[4] Hilda (a blonde in the series, whose full name is revealed to be Hildegarde Antoinette Spellman) is portrayed as less pragmatic than her sister Zelda, often doing things on a whim (such as buying a clock shop or running for political office).
She is far more lenient and fun-loving than Zelda, and is usually tolerant of Sabrina's schemes and mistakes, having gotten into many mishaps in her own youth.
[5] Hilda grew up with at least five siblings: Vesta being the oldest; Edward, Della, Sophia, the youngest, and her sister Zelda whom she lives with.
The Witches Council decided that people with pigs feet could not raise children and so when Vesta refused to turn them back Hilda and Zelda were adopted out to a family in the country.
During the early 19th century, Hilda and Zelda worked together at a saloon before eventually being run out of town, but they fortunately found a way to maintain some financial security: junk.
Salem was found out by the Witch's Council, and as punishment was turned into a witch-familiar as a cat; Hilda was forced to keep him worm-free for a century, but she was pardoned at the end of Season Five.
In the early 1990s, before Sabrina came to live with Hilda and Zelda, they had manservants, spent late nights on the town, weekends in Tuscany, took part in Formula One racing, and originally had a disco on the second floor of their house.
In the season 6 finale Hilda meets her true love; Will, the train conductor from the episode Murder on the Halloween Express.
In Sabrina's Secret Life (set two years later), at the end of the series Hilda married Salem (who actually turned back to human) and have 4 children.
Hilda appeared in the animated series Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch, voiced by Tabitha St. Germain.
Hilda appears in the Netflix series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, based on the eponymous comic.
