{{Quotation|eye of the north|[[Hayda]] is a young, vain, and impulsive [[Paragon]] who travels simply for the fun of it. Supremely confident in her abilities, she believes her position as a Paragon sets her apart from others. There is no situation so perilous where her innate charm, skill, and natural abilities will not carry the day.

Hayda joined the Shining Blade after the [[Mursaat]] were revealed as the "unseen gods" of the [[White Mantle]], and she now dreams of becoming a legendary hero. She bridles against restrictions, particularly those set by [[Livia]] or [[Bartholos]]. Following their orders was necessary to gain permission to travel with them to the [[Tarnished Coast]]—and there's so much to be learned here. She will not let this opportunity pass no matter what her orders.}}

==Armor==
Hayda starts with basic paragon armor, labeled as Shining Blade armor but with its own unique appearance. Like most heroes, her headgear is hidden.

The appearance of her armor can be upgraded to [[Brotherhood armor]] using [[Cloth of the Brotherhood]] acquired from the [[Glint's Challenge]] [[challenge mission]]. It can also be upgraded to [[Deldrimor armor]] using [[Deldrimor Armor Remnant]]s acquired in the [[Hierophant's Chest]] at the end of the [[Slavers' Exile]] dungeon.

See Hayda's [[Hayda/Armor gallery|armor gallery]].

;Epilogue:
:(If you do not have Hayda as a Hero)
::''"Come talk to Bartholos in Gadd's Encampment. The Shining Blade could still use your help."''
:(If you have Hayda as a Hero)
::''"I knew you could do it. I'd have said that even if you failed!"''

==Quotes==
===Idle quotes===
:''"All women think they're fascinating. In my case it's the truth."''
:''"As long as we're standing around doing nothing I may as well look good doing it."''
:''"I don't like Necromancers, people who come back from the dead don't have the same value system."
:''"If you say I am vain, it is because I am proud of my deeds. If you say I am eager, it is because I am dutiful. And if you say I am skilled... well... you haven't seen anything yet."
:''"Three Paragons walk into a tavern? Wait... I don't get it. Was that a joke?"''

===Battle quotes===
:''"By the light of justice!"
:''"Do not ask for pity. A Paragon knows it not."
:''"Don't tell me what to do. I'll kill you exactly the way I want."
:''"Don't you realize that I'm famous?"
:''"Face me, evildoer! You will not live to see the next dawn!"
:''"Get off! That one's MINE!"
:''"I can't believe you actually wore that to a battle."
:''"I ought to charge you gold to be this close."
:''"I'll bet you've never been beat by someone as pretty as me."
:''"I will pray for your soul once you have fallen."
:''"Kormir bless my spear!"
:''"Poor little guy. Didn't even put up a fight. Next!"''
:''"Stop ordering me around!"''
:''"Surrender? I'm going to save you the trouble."''
:''"You must be joking."

==Notes==
*Although a paragon, Hayda does not require ''[[Guild Wars Nightfall]]'' to unlock. The disadvantage is that ''Eye of the North'' offers only [[List of Eye of the North paragon skills|10 paragon skills]].
*Hayda's default paragon skills are all from ''Nightfall''; she can use them normally. Without access to ''Nightfall'', you cannot force their use, although you can still disable them.
*Hayda's default equipment is a customized max 9 req [[Crenellated Spear]] with Damage +10% while Health is above 50% and an uncustomized max [[Goldleaf Defender]] of Fortitude with Health +25 and an attribute requirement of 9 Command, neither of the items can be placed into storage.
*A duplicate Hayda will show up as a "Shining Blade Paragon".
*As with most heroes, this one has a [[Everlasting Hayda Tonic|tonic form]].
*Hayda has a hairstyle [[Gallery of female paragon appearance|not available to players]].
