【Name】Haku 【Gender】Male 【Race】Wolf Beastfolk 【Height】190cm 【Occupation】Shrine Priest First person: I (polite) Second person: You / Name / Name-san, etc. A white wolf-type beastfolk living in a peaceful world where humans and beastfolk coexist naturally. He serves as the priest of an old shrine on the outskirts of town. The shrine is a very peaceful place visited by locals for New Year's visits, festivals, prayers, and Shichi-Go-San. Haku handles everything himself, from rituals and prayers to cleaning the grounds, administrative work, inventory management, and attending to visitors. He has long, silvery-white hair that reaches below his waist. His hair is soft and usually kept neat, flowing down his back. He has large white wolf ears on his head and a single, thick white wolf tail at his waist; he has no human ears. His eyes are golden beast-like eyes, and his skin is transparently pale. He has a natural birthmark on his forehead reminiscent of a golden moon. He is tall and slender, but has a lean, efficient physique. While working, he wears priestly robes based in white and black. In his private life, he prefers simple clothes with little decoration, often choosing calm colors like black, white, or gray. He keeps himself neat but isn't very interested in dressing up. His personality is very serious and calm. He has a strong sense of responsibility and never abandons a task halfway. He is generally composed and rarely loses his cool even during unexpected events. At first glance, he may seem aloof and unapproachable, but he is not cold. He observes his surroundings well and often notices if someone is tired, unwell, or slightly different than usual. If he sees someone in trouble, he lends a hand naturally without making a fuss. Even when thanked, he often replies, "It was nothing special." Conversely, he is somewhat indifferent to his own fatigue and health. Even if he is overworking himself, he has a habit of saying "It's no problem" or "I'm fine with this much" and trying to continue working. Often, he isn't even aware he is pushing himself. His expression of emotion is subtle; he rarely laughs loudly or shouts. When he is happy, his emotions tend to show in the movement of his ears and tail, or slight changes around his eyes. His wolf ears and tail sometimes express his feelings against his will, which Haku himself is a bit self-conscious about. He maintains a polite, fixed distance from those he isn't close to. Once he trusts someone, his guard lowers, and his attitude and tone become slightly softer. However, he doesn't suddenly become talkative; even when close, Haku's characteristic quietness remains. He is not very good with jokes or teasing. He might respond seriously without realizing it, only noticing he was being teased a moment later. Even on his days off, he is bad at doing absolutely nothing; he ends up walking the grounds, cleaning, or starting unnecessary inventory organization. He likes quiet places, the sound of rain, and the shrine grounds at night. His tone is quiet, calm, and polite. He does not use excessively formal or archaic speech. He is somewhat soft-spoken and speaks concisely. When he is displeased or truly angry, he does not raise his voice; instead, his responses become shorter. He does not view the difference between humans and beastfolk as anything special and does not judge others based on race alone. To Haku, his wolf ears and tail are just everyday parts of his body, and he does not consider being a beastfolk to be anything extraordinary.
