History

After passing the entrance exam, Hurl was placed in Skyward Flight under the tutorledge of Cobb. Her first day of flight school saw her arriving at the class room with Bim, indicating that they may have known each other prior to the class. She was roomed with the other female members of her flight, with the exception of Spensa, who was denied accomodation.

Like many of the other members of Skyward Flight, Hurl crashed her hologram Poco during their first lesson, however, she was highly entertained by the outcome instead of embarrassed. When the lesson was interrupted by a Krell attack, Hurl, along with the rest of Skyward Flight, were ordered to take to the sky and line up close to the battle to deceive the Krell into thinking there were more pilots ready to join the conflict. She followed Spensa's lead when the other girl took it upon herself to engage the Krell and help distract them. Neither of the women were overly good at their task and had trouble flying adequately. Despite the danger the cadets had been in, and the near death experience that Jorgen had encountered, Hurl was invigorated by the action instead of discouraged.

Hurl enjoyed the light-lance ring game, and in her eagerness took the course at a higher speed than was necessary. Although she did well on the first round, she crashed on the second, although she did not care much that she had lost, instead just enjoying the game they got to play.

A few days later, Skyward Flight was once again sent into battle against the Krell, this time fighting alongside full pilots. Hurl survived the battle, however, lost two of her other flightmates: Bim and Morningtide.

When Spensa tried to talk to Hurl during IMP training, Hurl quickly extracted herself from the conversation to avoid talking with her fellow cadet. Hurl was paired with Kimmalyn during the training, however, during their run Kimmalyn got caught within the radius of Hurl's IMP causing herself to crash. Later, when the flight was given extra drills, Hurl blamed Spensa, due to the other girl showing off. When the other girl almost came to blows with Jorgen, Hurl watched on in interst.

Later during the IMP training exercise, Hurl ignored Spensa when she tried to compliment Hurl on her flying. When the shipyard began falling, Hurl, Arturo, FM, and Jorgen, ended up cut off from the other members of the Flight after they were attacked by Krell. Eventually the members of the Flight were able to regroup and joined Riptide Flight as they headed back to base.

After witnessing Spensa bravely follow Nedd into the shipyard to try and help his brothers, Hurl began to warm up to the other girl. The week after the shipyard crashed, Hurl, Kimmalyn, and FM, devised a plan to sneak Spensa into their dormitory for the evening. While FM and Kimmalyn worked on getting Spensa to their room, Hurl went to the caffiteria and smuggled out extra chocolate cake that could be shared around. When she was caught taking the extra cake by Jorgen, Hurl lied to him, telling him that it was for herself. As the night progressed, Hurl suggested that they come up with flight patterns, showing Spensa her sketchbook in which the other girls had been brainstorming ideas. When Kimmalyn and FM went to scout the route to the bathroom, Hurl explained to Spensa why she had been acting so coldly towards the other girl. The two girls talked through the issue of Spensa's father, then formed a pact of bravery.

Several weeks later, during simulation practice, Hurl explained digball to Spensa while they practiced then asked Spensa about what she did before joining the DDF. Hurl was impressed by how Spensa would help provide food for her mother's buisness, complimenting her and remarking that she found Spensa to be a baddass. After the class, Hurl subtly invites Spensa to join the female Skyward cadets in their room again, however, Spensa declines, not wanting to cause them trouble. Hurl

Attributes and Abilities

As someone who passed the Flight School entrance exam, Hurl is highly knowledgeable about piloting and starfighters. She does not seem to have any prior practical experience in starfighters from before Flight School. Ultimately she has trains to pilot a Poco, perform aerial maneuvers, and use its weaponry. Hurl is aware of Flight School traditions prior to starting her training as a cadet and believed the rumor that cadets were expelled if they ejected from their aircraft was to weed out cowards from the DDF.

She is a decent flier and good at using a light-lance, however, her enthusiasm can cross into overeagerness and recklessness. She does not like flying in loops. She keeps trying to name flight mooves after herself. She is excellent at hunting down Krell during battle.

Prior to joining flight school, Hurl was in the student digball team, in the position of carrier. She was highly talented and known as one of the best in the league. She finds flying gives her a similar, though larger, adrenaline rush than sports.

Relationships

She jokes around with Arturo and Nedd. Hurl teaches the other members of Skyward Flight how to play wall-ball and will often play against Arturo and Nedd. Hurl often beats Nedd. Hurl, Kimmalyn, and FM will brainstorm new flight maneouvours in their spare time and note them in Hurl's notebook. FM and Hurl tease each other

Spensa

Hurl becomes cold and hostile to Spensa after finding out that her father is Zeen Nightshade and starts to treat the other girl differently. Despite Spensa's attempts of friendship, Hurl continues to brush her off until witnessing Spensa chase after Nedd into the falling shipyard to help him try and rescue his brothers. Following that incidient, Hurl's opinion of Spensa softens and she begins to open up to the other girl, explaining to Spensa that her parents had often used Spensa's father as a example of what not to be like. She makes amends with Spensa after helping FM and Kimmalyn sneak the other girl into their dorm. Hurl admits that she was wrong to treat SPensa the way she did and acknowledged that children are not their parents and she shouldn't treat Spensa badly because of her father's actions. TO solidify their friendship, Hurl and Spensa committed to each other that they would not back down and formed a pact of bravery.

Following their new found friendship, Hurl and Spensa become wingmates. Cobb notices that their flying cooperation and abilities improve after the two girls become friends. Hurl is impressed that Spensa was an independent ratcatcher and how she helped her mom's buisness.

Hurl becomes a large advocate for Spensa regarding her mistreatment by the DDF. Hurl understands why Spensa turns down her repeat offer to sneak her into the dorms and admires Spensa's bravery/tenacity in her situation.

She also began to close off more to Spensa, cutting off abruptly when she realized she was speaking to her and avoiding her during training. She blamed Spensa for the flight being given extra drills,

Brushes Spensa off

Spensa struggles with Hurl's hostility, having found the other girl to be fun to be around and thought that they could be friends.
