## Profile

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.

## Personality

Hakos Baelz is loud, unpredictable, and chaotic. Despite this, she seems to have a talent for leading off in discussions and keeping things as orderly as possible, as seen in the first hololive -Council- meeting. Ceres Fauna even described her as a natural born leader, and Baelz eventually embraced the role of "Leader of -Council-." In contrast to her chaotic nature, she speaks rather fondly of the other -Council- members, and is regarded by them as adorable in turn. Baelz can also be easily flustered if things do not go her way.

## Trivia

### Name

* The name "Hakos" is an anagram of "Khaos," matching her theme as a being of chaos.
* The name "Baelz" may be a reference to the demon Bael, a being described in medieval grimoires including the *Lesser Key of Solomon* and *Pseudomonarchia Daemonium*, or Baalzebul, an ancient Biblical deity or prince of demons sometimes equated with Satan.
	+ In Dungeons & Dragons lore, demons are aligned with chaos.
	+ The name "Baelz" is also an anagram of "Blaze" as fire is often depicted as the de facto element of chaos.
* Her name is pronounced "bells hake-oss."
* Baelz reads her name in Western order, like Watson Amelia, Mori Calliope, Tsukumo Sana, and Ouro Kronii. However, she rarely uses her full name, considering it too formal. Because of her official name format, some Japanese members and fans call her by her surname, much like Watson Amelia in her early days.
* Prior to her debut, Sana addressed Baelz by a shortened form of her name "Bae," a popular American slang meaning "darling." She revealed this at the beginning of her debut as her common nickname.

### Lore

* Her species is technically not mouse or rat, but "chaos." However, her physical form is that of a rat. She retains both rat and human ears to hear better.
* She doesn't know her own age, and encourages viewers to "roll a dice" [sic] to determine her age in rat years.
	+ Technically, Baelz is in error: "dice" is the plural; "die" is the singular.
	+ If a six-sided die is used, this could make her anywhere between 30-180 years old in human years.
	+ The first time Baelz rolled a die for her age, it was a 9,999,999-sided die and the result was 2,347,180.
* Her birthday is 29 February. Leap years were created by Ouro Kronii to hold Baelz. In the Chinese zodiac, one of the possible animals which leap years fall in is the rat, with the other two being dragon and monkey.
* Her height of 149 cm is equivalent to 7.45 cheesewheels. She sacrificed 8 cheese wheels to stack them up in the yard to check this.
* Her choker was given to her by the gods. She doesn't know what it's for, but she also has the key to remove it.

### Likes and dislikes

* Her favorite beverage is coffee. She plans to do coffee review streams.
* Her favorite food is fried cheese.
* She fears the dark and jump scares.
* Her favorite weekend activity is to sing and dance.
* Her top three anime duos are Izaya and Shizuo from *Durarara*; Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric from *Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood* (her overall favorite anime); and Tanya and X from *Youjo Senki*.
* Her favorite game genres are RPGs, simulation games, and Nintendo games. She prefers console games to PC, as there are fewer buttons to press on a controller.
* Her favorite music is anime theme songs, JPop KPop, hardstyle, and EDM.
* Apart from hololive English, the hololive members she watches the most are Oozora Subaru, Yukoku Roberu and Houshou Marine. However, she watches everyone.
* Her goals are to dance in 3D, attend a live voice actor event, make many collabs, be a voice actor in an anime, and create her own coffee drink.

### Miscellaneous

* Bae's emoji is a six-sided die, used both in gaming and as a metaphor for the concept of randomness. The physicist Albert Einstein famously used the term in the latter sense regarding quantum mechanics, stating "God does not play dice." The notion that events may appear random while actually being deterministic is a foundation of a field of mathematics known as chaos theory.
* She shares her character designer with Kaguya Luna and Pinky Pop Hepburn.
* Baelz speaks English, Japanese, Cantonese and some Korean.
* Her Live2D rigging artist is Jujube. She shares this with Mori Calliope, allowing her to call the grim reaper "sister."
* She uses the pronoun "boku" in Japanese when referring to herself. "Boku" is used mainly by boys, but is also used by tomboyish girls. This trait is shared with fellow hololive members Roboco-san, Nekomata Okayu and Amane Kanata, as well as Ars Almal of Nijisanji.
* Her loading screen pixel art is by Taho.
* During early October 2021 when Japanese and English branches' members visited each other's *Minecraft* servers, there sparked some confusion among JP livers due to her unusual username ("whatabae"), often mistaken for Tsunomaki Watame; the "victims" of said confusion includes Oozora Subaru, Amane Kanata, Minato Aqua, Tokino Sora, Sakura Miko, as well as Watame herself.
