, and is one of the only people who can keep Tyson
in line. She is also very outspoken. She's not afraid to argue with Tyson, and seems to a lot in the second season.

's exact words describing her). The first impression we get from her is that she is a bossy class president but in later episodes we watch her become a loyal, caring friend who will stop at nothing to help the Bladebreakers.
The Bladebreakers
first expressed their opinion of her as an annoying pain in the neck when she tried to fit in with the team. Kai accepted the idea of her being on the team when she proved her worth with an effective training schedule. Hilary became a new addition to their team as the new training "coach." For a period of time, she was unable to see bit-beasts, but as the series progressed she was finally able to see them.
As the new addition to the team, she uses her head to figure out problems to help out the Bladebreakers. She is usually the comic relief
throughout the series. Even though she is sometimes disliked in the Beyblade fandom
, there are some good sides to her. In the later episodes, her commitment to the Bladebreakers becomes stronger as she gets closer to the team. Though she still has arguments with Tyson, she quickly became good friends with the whole team, as well as receiving a better understanding in the world of Beyblading.
She is now part of the beyblading team called the BBA Revolution, together with Kenny and Daichi, the new team member. They all are Tyson's friends. She is the assistant coach/manager while Hiro
is the team's coach/manager and she stands by her team whenever they need support.
After a few weeks the BEGA appeared and demolished the whole BBA company and the building, putting the sport of beyblading in a different playing field. The whole team is forced out from buying beyblade parts from shops since each shop required a BEGA identification card, another one of Boris's schemes to force Tyson out of beyblading unless Tyson joins the BEGA League, like Kai already has, and throws in the towel on the Justice 5 Match. Hilary tried, but failed to buy any parts. She lends out a hand to help the team build their own beyblading parts as the BEGA team gets ready for them.
Later, after the BBA was saved, Hilary looks for Kai and Tyson, as always, and finds them both about to start a Beybattle, the denouement of the final chapter of Beyblade G-Revolution.
Hilary and Tyson were very argumentative within the second series, but gradually became friends over time, though neither one of them would ever admit it- they both showed signs of care towards one another.
Hilary is more of a mature adult in comparison to Tyson, she keeps Tyson in line whenever he is rude and never takes anything personally when he is rude towards her.
Daichi and Hilary have a rivalry from the moment they meet each other. Daichi often calls Hilary "Grandma," and Hilary often gets on to Daichi for being gross, immature, and annoying. Hilary and Tyson tease him a lot throughout G Revolution for his big (and almost impossible) dream of becoming a champion beyblader and beating Tyson. Hilary normally takes care of Daichi's immaturity by hitting him with a chair, punching him in the face, or simply yelling at him.
Kenny, along with Tyson, is Hilary's classmate. They were both kidnapped by evil scientists in the beginning of V Force, but were rescued by Tyson. Kenny and Hilary often spend time together on the bench since neither of them beyblade, and Kenny usually shares his data with her. However, when Kenny started beyblading, he learned that he can not leave his computer with Hilary because she is clueless on how to use his computer and accidentally erased all of his data. Kenny has also revealed that he thinks Hilary is cute.
Ray has an "older brother" type role with Hilary. Like the other members of the beybladers, Ray is protective of Hilary and treats her like a younger sister.
Max first met Hilary when he arrived at the airport and saw her and Kai sitting together. He asked who she was, and Tyson told him that she was nobody. Hilary introduces herself before Max says that he had no idea that there would be a cute girl waiting for him at the airport. Throughout the series, Max and Hilary become good friends. Max is probably the one on the team who takes the most pity on Hilary when she is excluded because she cannot beyblade, or when she is being too annoying to the rest of the group and must be twenty feet away. Max has told Tyson when he is out of line with bullying Hilary, and he will apologize to Hilary if she feels excluded from the group.
