"this idea was hers" why hers is used ? can we use her also?

we use 'hers' here instead of 'her' because the idea belongs to the girl and is a possesion of her. Since 'hers' is a possesive verb and indicates that the idea is a possesion of her, we use 'hers' instead of 'her'. 'Her' doesn't indicate the possesion thus it is wrong.Hope this answers helps !!
