Kaisa (A.K.A The Librarian) is a recurring character in the Hilda TV series, first appearing in "Chapter 6: The Nightmare Spirit." She does not appear in any of the graphic novels, and is exclusive to the animated series and the novelization.
Although she is a recurring
character since Season 1, her name was not revealed until the season 2
episode "Chapter 3: The Witch." It is revealed in season 2 that she is
also a witch.
Kaisa works at the library in Trolberg. Years
before the start of the series, she was the student of Matilda Pilgvist,
but failed to be a proper witch due to her inability to remember her
spells. Instead, she became the Keeper of the books for Witches Tower,
and the library. Feeling that she failed her mentor, Kaisa became afraid
to face Matilda Pilqvist, even though Matilda still had the book "The
Skeleton Whiperwe" in her possession, and it was Kaisa's duty to get it
back before the book is checked out for more than 30 years.
Kaisa
is usually calm, but can be rather strict with rules. In "Chapter 8:
The Tide Mice," she directly confronted Hilda when she discovered the
library's secret chamber and got a bit stern. In ability to always know
exactly what book people are looking for, even before they can ask her
about it. Another quirky thing about her is that she has memorized the
entire layout of St. Guglows Cemetery. This last thing she doesn't want
to admit however.
She is later seen as having some feelings of insecurity about her abilities as a witch, believing she wasn't the witch she was trained to be. She clearly showed worry that her teacher would be disappointed with her, and that she was nothing more than a librarian rather than a proper witch. These beliefs are later dispelled with some help from Hilda and Frida, the latter of whom is even accepted as a student by her former mentor.
Because of her duties of being a witch and librarian, Kaisa may seem like an outcast who is private, soft-spoken and kept secret. However, she seems like a very calm and kind person who is content with most things, even if it means offering someone information, advice, or a task to handle and has a little sense of humor. As she opens up a bit more to Hilda and her friends, seen in "Chapter 11: The Jorts Incident," she humorously complements how delicious and addictive Jorts are and when assisting Hilda and the others to vacuum the tide mice, she seems to get a thrill out of things. She states after that she's never had so much fun in a while and compliments to David on their teamwork. David questioned her way of fun and replied to him that she doesn't get out much. This is likely due to the strict rules and insecurities she's was bound to being a witch that burdened her(like in the movie, when witches aren't allowed to get involved in troll affairs), which she finally is able to let go of.
