Jonas, another possible wasted character
Okay, this time I want to talk about this old man who is Astrid's neighbor.
The first time we are given signs of his existence is by using Hilda, he arrives in Tofoten and notices that the house next door has a lot of horseshoes on the door, implying that he must be obsessed with something.
There is also this close-up of the camera that gives us the impression that there is possibly someone watching from inside the house. As if he were looking back at that little blue-haired adventurer, or as if he suspected that she was not an ordinary person.
As we already know, fairies have blue hair which is one of their main characteristics. It would not be strange to believe that he had previously had contact with a fairy or that something related to fairies had happened to him. It is possible that they took away a brother or family member of his that he appreciated, hence his obsession to prevent the same thing from happening to him.
I mean, look at his reaction. The man is hysterical and, although it cannot be seen, scared. As soon as Hilda says she wants to know about fairies it causes Jonas to go almost crazy and start giving a lecture to Hilda which, in short, says about how they are evil and atrocious creatures.
If it weren't for Astrid, I wouldn't know what other things she would have said to Hilda, but possibly it would have been another character who would be entangled in the plot to continue Hilda's story with the fairies. If Astrid had not arrived then the man could spill more information about why the fairies were so evil and monstrous.
Here I think that he was there to advance the plot, to give Hilda that clue she needed on how to find said fairies. Possibly not inciting the blue-haired girl to search but on the contrary to make her cease any desire to search for said fairies.It would have been incredible if they put him as the typical guy who has a sad or tragic past in relation to the disappearance of a loved one and how he had to face that for the rest of his life, living in fear and despair.
Unfortunately, he only appears in the second episode of the third season and from then on nothing more is known about him. I would have loved to see him use anti-fairy methods. It would have been ironic that Hilda would try to use a horseshoe as a weapon and would always end up accidentally hurt by her own hand. It would be funny.

It's a cartoon series that I really like, but I realized that I haven't drawn the main character yet, so I drew it.
