Appearance
Summary
Ida was a slender giant woman with average facial features, including freckles, full lips and a well-defined round nose. She had long, light-colored hair with a messy cowlick at the front, curly side locks and tied in a ponytail at the back. Her debut outfit consisted of a simple X-strapped dark top with frills at the bottom and a pair of ragged shorts. After moving to Elbaph, she switched her top for a lighter-colored shirt. While performing in the circus, she wore horns and a feathered coat, giving customers the perspective that she was a savage ancient giant.

Personality
Summary
In stark contrast to the more militarist giants of Elbaph's past, Ida is a caring, well-read individual, who values all lives, no matter how small they may be. She despises arrogance, physically assaulting Harald once after he refused to help a few humans he had attacked. When given the option, she is more than willing to assist others, especially if they helped her in the past.
Relationships
Family
Harald
Ida's relationship with Harald began quite poorly. They first met when he "saved" (abducted) her from a circus act that he believed to be holding her against her will. She was disgusted by his arrogance, but managed to finally speak some sense into him, to the point where he was willing to apologize for his actions. The two spent at least 20 years together, traveling the seas, and helping bring wisdom about the world to Harald in the process. They eventually had a child together, but due to Ida's "unpure" blood, their marriage was unrecognized. Ida cared little, and was happy to simply be able to live near Harald. Even after Harald's arranged marriage to Estrid, Ida still loved him.
Hajrudin
Hajrudin is Ida's son. She loved him very much, although her babying annoyed him, due to his desire to be taken seriously as a warrior.
Bunt Kingdom
Ida was grateful to the kingdom for taking her in while she was at her lowest. She defended their honor when Harald insulted them, and later helped reconstruct the kingdom.
Elbaph
Ida originally saw Elbaph as a place of nothing more than savages, that gave all giants a bad name. After moving there, her potential ascension to being queen was met with hostility, however, she was allowed to live among the common giants without complaint.
Abilities And Powers
Summary
As a giant, Ida possessed greater strength and size than the average human and major life expectancy. She has shown some acting abilities, pretending to be a savage ancient giant while in the circus.
History
Past
Ida was born on Samuwanai Island in the South Blue at least 105 years ago. Eventually, she ended up adrift and on the brink of death, before being saved by residents of the Bunt Kingdom. After recovering, she became a circus performer, acting as a menacing giant for the show. As fate would have it, she eventually crossed paths with Elbaph's arrogant King Harald. He had been under the misconception that she was held against her will, and quickly laid the entire kingdom to ruin in order to save her. Back on the ship, Ida smacked Harald for his cruel actions, shocking him. She demanded they return, and beat him again when he at first refused. She then berated him at his arrogant views toward the human residents, marking up his great strength and status to simply being born as lucky. She remarked that it was giants like him that made the rest of them be seen as monsters. Fortunately, Harald was willing to listen, and after returning, Ida got to work at helping rebuild. Harald had his subordinates assist as well, allowing Ida to introduce him to the king, and have him apologize. The two continued through the seas afterward, with Harald's previously arrogant nature fading as a result of Ida's mentoring. 105 years ago, after returning to Elbaph, Ida was happy to hear about Harald's new plans for the island. Said plans included traveling to learn about other cultures, establishing peaceful relations, and removing any barbaric old traditions. This led Ida to believe that Elbaph had been blessed. The two continued traveling together from there on, with Ida teaching Harald about how to conduct international relations. 81 years ago, their son Hajrudin was born. Although Harald intended to have her as his wife, Elbaph's residents refused to have an outsider as royalty. He angrily apologized for the tradition, but Ida was content living nearby, in the Eastern Village. 63 years ago, Harald's second son, Loki, was born to less-than forgiving conditions (thrown off the castle into Elbaph's Underworld by his mother). Ida offered to take Hajrudin to see his new half-brother, but he vehemently refused, on the grounds that Loki not being born from her meant he could not be his brother. Ida teased him for his views, much to his annoyance.
Trivia
Summary
Ida was referred to as the "10 Meter Woman" by the circus ringmaster; however, this is likely not her exact height as the even the shortest giants are typically at least 12 meters tall.
