History Trivia / Hilda

* FanNickname: The Fandom wiki (and this wiki as well) distinguish the Nisse who lives in Hilda's home and the Nisse who is Jellybean's owner by referring to them as "Tontu Alpha" and "Tontu Beta", respectively. And until Season 2 gave her name as Kaisa, the Librarian, who had no confirmed name until then, was popularly known in fan-fiction circles as "Maven".

One for "Best TV/Media for Children" for "The Deerfox", one for "Best Editorial in TV/Media", and one for "Best Character Animation". This beat out ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', which were both more popular shows rather than sleeper hits.
