Hypnos

**Hypnos** (睡魔) is a demon of the spirit species who must sleep 20 hours a day.

## Personality

When he's awake, Hypnos is a very laidback demon who doesn't seem to mind what others around him get up to, and will often look the other way whenever someone's getting up to something. He's always looking for ways to get a better sleep, though he's able to fall asleep relatively easy so he doesn't often need to look for new methods, unlike the Princess. He's easily amused when others are having small problems, and he's often able to catch onto them relatively quickly. He's especially fond of teasing Demon Cleric, as they've known each other since Demon Cleric starting working there. As his senior, Hypnos always offered guidance when he needed it, but never really took responsibility as his senior, and usually laughed off any of Demon Cleric's attempts at pranking him when they backfired.

## Appearance

Hypnos is a pale demon with a black demon tail with a puff ball on the end, white goat ears, and droopy green eyes. He has layered white hair that falls in a braid just past his shoulder. His bangs are parted to the sides of his forehead to reveal a small purple diamond, and he has a cowlick that sticks straight up. He has sharp nails and a red line that spirals down both of his forearms.

He wears a half-black half-white off the shoulder robe with a beige interior and trim, and a sleeveless maroon undershirt. His robe has a latch fastening it in the front, a cross stitch on the chest, and to puffy trim on the ends of his open-slit sleeves, which it wears at the slit instead of to the end of sleeve. He has beige pants with long white cuffs, and large X's on the cuffs in the manga, and white fuzzy slippers.

## Overview

Hypnos will die if he does not sleep enough, so he is devoted to sleep search. He has been living in the Old Demon Castle since the days of the previous Demon King, but not because he has anything against the current regime, only because it's quieter than the New Demon Castle.

He is very happy now because his new disciple is putting the wisdom he has passed down to her to good use.
