Hayley Lates

## Hayley

Harold Lates (older brother)

## **General Description**

**Hayley Lates** is a mage of Blue Pegasus and one of the deutoragonists. She is daughter of Hibiki and Jenny Lates, and the younger brother of Harold. Along with Sally and Adeline Tearm, the Archive mage is a member of Pegasus Wings.

## **Appearance**

Although she is seventeen, Hayley is notably gorgeous with a large bust size and curvaceous body. She had straight, dirty blond hair and light brown eyes to match her father. The style it's kept in varies depending on the day, from crown braids to basket weaves. She is consistent in wearing a pink, sleeveless dress and pale yellow gown gloves. There is a large slit on her left side. On her feet are white high heels. In her hair she wears a white flower accessory, similar to the red one her mother wore in her youth.

## **Personality**

Hayley has a lot of outer pride and sass. She considers those who do not dress nor act properly as "uncouth". She is unafraid to speak her mind and downplay those she deems necessary. The teenager is also vain, as she is always dressed elegantly and will even walk in a seductive way. However, on the inside, Hayley is actually self-conscious, particularly about her magic. She even admitted to Reiki and her father that she has only seriously started to use her magic since April X820.

While it is not super obvious, Hayley is caring for her guildmates, particularly Adeline (nicknamed Lina). A prime example is when she initially refused to do any favors unless Lina was allowed to be involved. Of course, she praises Amodin and Master Ichiya Kotobuki, however, this appears to be a general Blue Pegasus trait.

## **Magic and Abilities**

**Archive Magic:** Similar to her father, Hayley's magic allows her access to hundreds of thousands of Magic Databases. Despite being seventeen she has little experience with it, as she did not view it as useful. Since Reiki's request at her looking up information, she has begun to take it more seriously and is now able to access otherwise confidential information, albeit via unknown methods.

## **Family**

**Jenny Lates:** Hayley's mother. It is unknown how much they interact or share a bond.

**Hibiki Lates:** Hayley's father. He is kind and caring, having originally taught his daughter Archive. He was saddened to see her disheartened at its apparent uselessness, but is equally proud that she has started to overcome those frustrations.

**Harold Lates:** Hayley's older brother. They do not appear to interact much even while in the same room. Hayley has noted her brother's crush on Sally. It is unknown if he knows this as well.

## **Friends**

**Adeline (Lina) Tearm:** Hayley's guildmate, teammate, and implied best friend. The two clearly trust each other as Hayley refused to get involved in the investigation unless Lina was allowed in as well. Lina also didn't question Hayley's decisions about searching for information and then giving it out in secret.

**Sally Tearm:** Hayley's teammate. The amount of interaction between them is less, or even not present, compared to Hayley and Lina. While the two women are on the same team on paper, Hayley mentioned how they rarely do actual work together. This may be partly due to Sally's obsession with Neil, which Hayley has clearly noticed.

## **Trivia**

* Hayley's character was not supposed to develop. However, the author realized that she was a small yet critical part of the overall story. In addition, she wanted to create a little drama for Reiki's pathetic love life (hee hee hee).
