She said that she had not seen the character design, which was created before the auditions, until after she got the job. She describes Hildy as “bad with the best intentions” and calls her “my alter ego – my Sasha Fierce”.
- Grimwold "Grim" Gloom (voiced by Jess Harnell)– Grim is a warlock who is Hildy's husband. In "Itsy Bitsy Spider Fighters", it is revealed that Grim is afraid of spiders and ladybugs. In "The Jollywood Jam", it is revealed that Grim's great-great-great-grandfather was a warlock who was defeated by the Founders of Jollywood. Harnell describes him as "a bad-at-being-bad guy”. Regarding his role as a Disney villain, he said that "there’s a fine line — especially in ‘7D,’ which is a broad comedy — because you don’t want to scare little kids”. He said "Grim is so awesome because he’s totally stupid but he’s got a really good heart. He’s actually not a bad guy, he’s just trying to keep up with his wife, which I guess a lot of us can relate to."
