== History ==
After passing the entrance exam, Hurl was placed in [[Skyward Flight]] under the
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 [[varvax|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.{{book ref|sky1|10}} She followed Spensa's lead when the other cadet 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.{{book ref|sky1|11}}

Following her death, Cobb writes to Hurl's parents to explain how she died. Although the Admiral of the DDF was usually tasked with this duty, Cobb did not trust what [[Ironsides]] would say to the grieving parents and decided to take on the responsibility himself.{{book ref|sky1|33}}

== Relationships ==
}}
Following their newfound friendship, Hurl and Spensa become wingmates.{{book ref|sky1|31}} The pair make a good team and their new dynamic leads to a noticeable improvement in their flying abilities and cooperation during battle.{{book ref|sky1|31}}{{book ref|sky1|32}} Hurl admires Spensa's tenacity in the face of her treatment by the DDF and becomes a fierce advocate for her wingmate.{{book ref|sky1|31}} She is also highly impressed by Spensa's hunting abilities and how she utilized her strengths to support her
Hurl's death devastates Spensa. In the days following her wingmate's death, Spensa emotionally withdraws and isolates herself in an attempt to deal with her grief. When put on mandatory leave, Spensa sets out to find Hurl's crashed ship, telling her flightmates she wants to give Hurl a proper pilots burial. Secretly, Spensa hoped that Hurl might have miraculously survived the crash, despite evidence that this was unlikely.{{book ref|sky1|34}} However, after finding Hurl's remains within her crashed [[Poco]], Spensa had to face the reality that her wingmate was gone.{{book ref|sky1|34}} Spensa had hoped that by providing Hurl with a proper burial it would help provide closure, however, the ceremony performed by Spensa and [[Jorgen]] did not lessen her grief.{{book ref|sky1|35}} Although Spensa eventually moved past her grief, Hurl's memory stayed with her.{{book ref|sky2|43}}
Spensa views Hurl as a hero who died bravely and has a low tolerance for anyone who suggests otherwise.{{book ref|sky1|33}} As with after the deaths of [[Bim]] and [[Morningtide]], Spensa struggles with guilt while grieving for her friend, and feels conflicted about experiencing positive emotions.{{book ref|sky1|41}} She is haunted by the commitment she made with Hurl about refusing to back down, likely because she acknowledges to some extent how this attitude factored into Hurl's death. When faced with the same situation as Hurl, a broken starfighter and an uncontrolled descent, Spensa is reminded of Hurl's words, however, makes the opposite choice - saving her own life over preserving a doomed ship.{{book ref|sky1|47}} The memory of Hurl also plays a critical role in convincing Spensa to defend [[Alta Base]], despite her fear of going rogue like her father, from a surprise Krell attack when the base is open and undefended.{{book ref|sky1|49}}
[[Jorgen]] accompanies [[Spensa]] when she goes to find Hurl's body, believing that Hurl deserves a proper pilots burial.{{book ref|sky1|34}} As he did not stay at [[Alta Base]] during his time as a cadet, Jorgen did not spend much time with Hurl outside of the classroom.{{book ref|sky1|34}} Despite this, he still considers Hurl to be a friend.{{book ref|sky1|41}} Jorgen acknowledged that Hurl's reckless nature was why she had died.{{book ref|sky1|34}}
=== Other Relationships ===
* [[Nedd]] and [[Arturo]]: Hurl often jokes around with Nedd and Arturo.{{book ref|sky1|21}} During their free time they plays games such as wall-ball together, with Hurl often beating Nedd.{{book ref|sky1|28}}
* [[FM]]: Hurl and FM have a friendly and teasing relationship.{{book ref|sky1|28}} During their time rooming together, FM, Kimmalyn, and Hurl would brainstorm new flight maneuvers and note them in Hurl's notebook.{{book ref|sky1|28}}
