Personality[]
Etymology and Origin[]
A hajdú was an irregular or mercenary soldier of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Hungarian term hajdú (hajdúk is the plural) may derive from hajtó which meant (cattle) drover. In 16th century Hungary, cattle driving was an important and dangerous occupation and drovers traveled armed. Some of them ended up as bandits or retainers in the service of local landowners and many may have become soldiers.
History[]
Misty Hajdu serves as the leader of Misty Knights who guard the Misty Castle, Clavier.
When Sarah Band walks across the bridge to the coliseum from the main island, Misty Hajdu and her fellow knights appear and ask Sarah if she wishes to enter the Misty Castle, Clavier. Sarah kneels in respect while the ÄRM that Kapel Meister gave her activates, hiding her wicked impurities and Ghost ÄRMs from them. Misty Hajdu states that souls of the knights accept Sarah's heart, but note the otherworldly scent in the vicinity. Sarah confirms her suspicions, saying a boy from another world seeks Clavier and must receive divine judgement.
She and her knights appear once again when Ginta, Dorothy, Babbo, and Belle wander into the arena of the coliseum. She asks the group the same question that she had previously asked Sarah, and upon their affirmative response, she denies them access due to Ginta being from another world and Dorothy being a witch. When they try to argue, she and her fellow knights attack. While fighting, Dorothy realizes that they fight with celestial power instead of magic power, and can keep regenerating so long as they are in the holy mist. The group tries to retreat by flying away on Dorothy's Nature ÄRM, Zephyrus Broom, but Misty Hajdu calls forth a bolt of lightning to strike them down. They are then forced to take a staircase in the coliseum to the lower levels, as the doors to the coliseum's exit have been sealed shut. Misty Hajdu and her knights give chase after them.
The Misty Knights corner Ginta and Dorothy into another opening of the cave that leads out to the ocean. Before Misty Hajdu can strike, fog fills the cave and the ghost ship of Vestry sails into the oceanside cave entrance. Alma manifests above and Misty Hajdu immediately bows to Alma's pure aura. Alma informs Misty Hajdu that she has been deceived by the Ghost Chess regarding Ginta and Dorothy's true nature. She then turns her attention to Sarah Band, who was hiding in the shadows of the cave, and using her own power to break the ÄRM that fooled Misty Hajdu. Sarah immediately flees and Misty Hajdu realizes the error of her judgment. With the misunderstanding cleared, she instructs them on how to reach Clavier, before leaving with her fellow knights back to Heaven.
