“	A Galdur that is often seen with Jina. Hekla is kind and warm, and uses her large size to take care of her friends.	”

Appearance

Hekla is a rotund Galdur, shorter than Einar, but still taller than the rest of the villagers in Kilima Valley. Her long, cable arms extend nearly to the ground, each ending with an oversized hand that has three fingers and an opposable thumb. Her stomach features a large, circular compartment and her legs are short and stout. She most notably wears a lavender scarf with yellow markings loosely tied around her neck area.
