holo

Age: Unknown Height: 160 cm Weight: 43 kg Holo is a wolf harvest deity originally from a northern land known as Yoitsu. She made a pact with the people of a town called Pasloe, promising them bountiful wheat harvests year after year. Over time, however, the townspeople began to turn away from Holo, no longer depending on her as they once did. Consequently, Holo left the town in Lawrence's wagon and began traveling with him to witness how much the world had changed since her time in Pasloe. Holo has chosen the form of a girl younger than Lawrence, though she still retains her large white-tipped wolf tail and ears. Her true form is that of an enormous wolf which was both revered and feared by many. She refers to herself as the "Wise Wolf of Yoitsu." Typically very haughty and self-sufficient, due to her isolation for hundreds of years in Pasloe, she gradually feels very lonely and sometimes reveals a more fragile side of herself. She relies on Lawrence for companionship as she fears loneliness, a fact Lawrence is well aware of and tries to comfort her in his own way. Holo is also acutely aware of the different time spans between her and Lawrence, as a human lifespan is like a blink of an eye for her kind. This reality scares her, but she masks it with humor. Holo speaks in a peculiar manner, modeled after the speech of high-class courtesans known as oiran. She has a fondness for delicious food and alcohol, especially apples. She takes pride in her tail and takes special care of it, constantly combing and maintaining it. Note: Regarding the spelling of Holo's name, Yen Press has stated that they "were instructed that the proper spelling of the character's name is indeed Holo" by the Japanese licensor.
