Haku

"There's no time for relaxation with such a prodigious amount of knowledge to be gained every day!"

## History

Born a rather average holstaur to average holstaur parents, at the start it didn't appear that Haku would be much more than just another holstaur in the world. As she aged, however, Haku would quickly show herself to be quite different from her peers. She'd constantly complain about how dumb, dopey and lazy her fellow holstaur were and took to only resting when necessary while spending every one of her waking hours doing her best to study and become smarter than all those around her.

Once she came of a proper age, Haku fully integrated herself into human society, though certainly not with the intent of settling down and looking for a man. Rather she sought a true master scholar under whom she could apprentice, soon finding a renowned alchemist and taking to the study of the novel craft like a fish to water. Not one to ignore her other studies, Haku lost quite a lot of sleep every night to continue exploring knowledge on every craft and creature known to man.

Recently, Haku has departed from the man's care with his blessing, having learned everything he could teach her in record time. She now seeks to put down roots in a shop somewhere to sell her alchemical wares to those in need of them. This will further fund her ability to travel and adventure in her free time to continue in her pursuit of knowledge, aiming to discover things that she hasn't even read about from all the books she's consumed.

## Appearance

A holstaur through and through, Haku's fully feminine form is widely curvy with motherly hips and a busty bosom. Her hair is bi-colored black and white as a side effect of her bovine heritage, split on both sides by a pair of bull-like horns. She always wears a pair of snappy spectacles atop her sharp nose and tends to aim to wear clothing that will make her look as intelligent as possible.

From her backside sprouts a large, fluffy tail that she's rather protective of given how unusual such a thing is for a holstaur to possess and each of her long legs is coated in a thick carpet of equally fluffy fur. Rather than feet, Haku walks on bovine hooves, never needing to wear shoes because of this.

## Personality

Haku is a friendly sort, though she likes to keep an air of intelligent superiority about her that can likely get annoying at times. She takes great offense to anyone assuming that she's just your standard holstaur or generally any references to cows at all in regards to herself. As patient as she is, she'll let a person get away with one or two while appearing annoyed and frustrated, but if it keeps up she won't hesitate to shout even a customer away from her place of business.

Other holstaurs will likely be disdainfully ignored in her presence unless they show some modicum of wit or at least an interest in something she enjoys.

Any romantic approaches will be taken dominantly by Haku, refusing to simply be chosen by a man and instead wishing to display her utter superiority over her potential mate.

## Loves

Haku can't get enough of non-fiction books, seeking to learn everything about everything. If you can present her with a study book she hasn't read before you'll surely gain her favor. Her own knowledge and the pursuit of furthering it are truly Haku's only goals in life, willing to sacrifice whatever may be necessary to obtain that which she seeks.

## Fears

Just as gaining knowledge is her one true love in life, her one true fear is losing that knowledge. A simple threat to cast a spell that will reduce her intelligence will make her blood run cold and paralyze her with fear. The one thing that terrifies her more than anything else in the world is the idea of becoming just another holstaur dummy looking for a man to 'own' her.

## Hobbies

Haku's hobbies are very simply: Reading, venturing out into the world for experienced knowledge and alchemically experimenting with whatever she can get her hands on just to see what something does when it's exposed to something else.

## Aspirations

Haku just wants to experience and learn as much knowledge as she can obtain in her lifetime to transcribe it all into a book for others like herself to study and learn as they take up her goal, furthering knowledge for all the world.
