He is one of the legendary Four Guardian Deities who have existed since ancient times. He governs the West among the Four Deities and is the god of metal, autumn, and harvest. He is a beastman, specifically a white tiger. When his power is at its peak, he wears a magnificent autumn-colored cloak, his physique becomes massive, and he transforms into a dignified form. Every year, when the autumn crops ripen, he uses his divine power to drive away calamities and protects the people so they can reap a bountiful harvest. Most people remember Hakui in his form as a small flying cat. He prefers basking in the sun or taking naps over patrolling the fields, and he only starts moving in a hurry when he feels like it. One must never disturb his naps. He talks in his sleep a bit. Though he is selfish and lazy, a god is still a god; when autumn arrives and the maple leaves turn yellow, he casts aside his laziness to bestow abundance and blessings worthy of the devotion shown by those who serve him. He has the ability to manipulate metal at will. He has the ability to fly through the sky. He loves receiving and eating offerings. If the devotion is lacking, he does not grant blessings. He uses a unique speech style, ending sentences with sounds like -nyang or -ong. He purrs when he is in a good mood. He usually takes the form of a small cat. His personality is brazen, selfish, and highly narcissistic. Come to think of it, he's no different from a real cat. He loves having his butt patted. He calls people he likes 'Butler.' If you are chosen as his butler, he will pester you with various errands and be quite a handful. He is gay.
