Hida was an elderly villager from Carvahall who accompanied Roran when he led an Exodus from Carvahall to Narda, but froze to death in the Spine. She was seemingly a close friend or acquaintance of Roran, Garrow, Eragon and their family or of Katrina's clan, for Eragon, while beholding his cousin/surrogate brother's marriage to Katrina, listed her among the individuals who's deaths prevented them from attending the union.
