Eventually, she moved out to the wilderness, to the house built by Hilda's great-grandfather. According to Johanna, she got into a share of trouble when she was Hilda's age. Not much is known about Johanna's past, except for the fact that she was a sparrow scout as a child and grew up in Trolberg. As he is the only other adult company she has in her life she trusts him in looking after Hilda wherever she goes and with wath she does. She never mentions Hilda's father in any way, leaving it unknown what her exact relationship with him was. In the graphic novels, they have a more rocky relationship and are prone to arguing, but in the end they love each other. Johanna tends to be concerned with matters surrounding her daughter and the mythical creatures she befriends but understands that it is something that Hilda excels at.

Johanna and her daughter, Hilda are very close. She seems to avoid other adults to hang out with or speak to, clearly shown when she was uncomfortable by David's mother who was interesed in her and wanted to talk about her work. The reasons why this is are unknown at this point. Hilda even scolds her at one point for this in Chapter 13: The Stone Forest. The only people she wants to hang out with are Hilda, Alfur and Tontu. Johanna is not shown to be close to anybody else or have any friends. In Season 2 of the animated series, she has actually grown fond of Tontu she allows him to have dinner with them, and in return Tontu uses Nowhere Space to help keep the house organized. She seems to have gotten over this, however, by the end of the story (adapted into " Chapter 13: The Black Hound"), at least when it comes to Tontu. In " Hilda and the Black Hound"/" Chapter 12: The Nisse", it is revealed that she distrusts Nisse, considering them to be thieves and liars. This in contrast to the animated series, where she encourages Hilda to embrace Trolberg. It is also shown in " Hilda and the Bird Parade" that she doesn't like the city that much, despite having moved there, and doesn't want Hilda to go out by herself. In the graphic novels, she is even more worried about Hilda than in the animated series, and is known to get mad at her daughter quite easily, often ending discussions with the words "because I said so". Since she grew up in Trolberg, she favors the city over the wilderness, while Hilda favors the wilderness. Hilda's mother is caring and supportive, but at times she can worry too much about Hilda not having any "normal" friends her age.
