Hoder (Kingdom Hearts)

Hoder is a character in Kingdom Hearts Dark Road. She is one of the upper classmen and Baldr's older sister. During her Mark of Mastery at the Enchanted Dominion, Hoder leaves the rest of her classmates to seek out and challenge the evil fairy. The true darkness tails her, using Baldr’s concern for his sister as an excuse to reveal itself to her. Hoder dies in front of Baldr, causing him to fall unconscious. Heimdall, Helgi, and Sigrun are killed soon after. After dying, Hoder asks Xehanort to borrow his heart so that she can reconnect with her brother. When Baldr is completely taken over by the darkness, this plan comes to fruition and she manifests in a semi-translucent form before them both. Hoder tries to comfort Baldr, listening as he talks about how his fears and worries warped his worldview. Hoder reassures Baldr, telling him he no longer needs to feel fear and reaching out her hand as a peace offering to him. Baldr goes to take her hand, but instead, the two clash Keyblades. Neither of them are surprised by this betrayal, yet, Hoder makes another attempt to embrace her brother before Master Odin intervenes. While Xehanort is hesitant to take Baldr’s life as he is restrained, Hoder is resolute, raising her blade against Baldr once more. Baldr is able to counter her attack, and both siblings fall to the floor, severely weakened. In her final moments, Hoder reaches out for him, before fading into light. Her sacrifice is not in vain, as it weakens Baldr enough for Xehanort to deal the final blow.
