"WAZZUP!! It's your worldwide Rat Idol --- Hakos Baelz!"
Chaos. Mayhem. Entropy..... All in the form of a cute little rat.

Old Bio =
Chaos
A member of the Council and the very concept of Chaos, birthed by the world, itself.
The Gods appointed her Chairperson of the Council, but she mostly takes a hands-off approach as she has yet to accept the decision, much like her fellow members. That said, all of them have no intention of contending; instead to obey.
Her mouse-like appearance has deceived many a fool who fails to realize that mice are the harbingers of chaos.
Also of note is her wild smile, which she often flashes in her frequent romps.
Chaos is confusion and disarray, it is fortune and tragedy, and it is freedom from all the logic and inherent nature of life.
She believes that rules are not the be-all and end-all, which is why she has come to break them all.
Watching the aftermath is her greatest joy, and so she remains a bystander to the destruction caused by mayhem.

== Overview ==
Hakos Baelz (ハコス・ベールズ), born on February 29th, is a VTuber who debuted as part of hololive English -Council-. She refers to herself as "Baelz Hakos" with her fans referring to her as "Bae" or "Hako". Her name is pronounced "bells hake-oss", though most hololive members instead pronounce her name as "bay-lz".
The leader of hololive Council, she's the embodiment of chaos who manifests as a rat girl to signify her power, her personal emoji 🎲 (die) is a metaphor for her chaotic nature.
Baelz has a habit of writing text upside-down (as shown by her first tweet "dnssɐʍ" (wassup)), which led to the creation of various upside-down fanarts of her; she later explained that this is a nod to her being from "Australia, the land down under".
== Personality ==
Baelz is essentially a reverse-case Watson Amelia. While she initially appeared to live up to her lore, being almost as chaotic as Kureiji Ollie during the first few weeks after her debut, she turned out to be the most "normal" member of the group, often ending up as the victim of her genmates’ antics and (ironically) stuck in the middle of their chaotic interactions. Her bright and loud character also contrasts with her introverted personality, as evidenced by her odd interactions with other members of Hololive and Holostars. She has arachnophobia, and expressed her discomfort at Haachama's habit of consuming spiders during her time in Australia.
Since early after debuting, Baelz is in a chaotic couple relationship with IRyS. They share many tastes and opinions, but also dispute frequently. Consequently, Baelz and IRyS keeping "divorcing" and "remarrying" depending on their mood.
Baelz doesn't get many common popular culture references. Because her knowledge is so limited, Baelz is sometimes called a "zoomer", and thought of as some kind of opposite to the old boomer Noir Vesper.(Sep. 3, 2022). Retrieved from https://youtu.be/Do_vuPoYrYQ
Baelz often demonstrates her Australian pride. For example, she tries to make the world taste vegemite, a traditional local dish. This dedication led her to open the program "BAE-GEMITE" where she invites hololive members to taste it and share their thoughts.
