HuniBun

"*I've built an empire off my own suffering, both my work and my podcast.*"
— HuniBun's Voxtagram bio.

**Ashley Nichols**, better known as **HuniBun**, is a recurring character in *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*.

She is a bunny sinner who hosts a podcast called *HuniCast*, where she discusses relevant topics in Hell and occasionally holds interviews with some of Hell's celebrities and officials. She is friends with Angel Dust and Alastor, and is one of the few sinners in Hell with a positive attitude towards the Hazbin Hotel, spreading good news about the establishment around the Pride Ring, essentially serving as the antithesis of Katie Killjoy. She has also acted as an ally to the hotel crew, giving them inside information about a person or place.

## Personality

Friendly, open-minded, and a vocal supporter of the Hazbin Hotel, HuniBun is everything Katie Killjoy is not, supporting the Hazbin Hotel and Charlie Magne simply because of the positive influence they both could have on Hell's society. Despite being a podcast host, she is somewhat shy and has problems with anxiety, but still takes on whatever Hell throws at her through sheer determination. During interviews, she often takes a casual and laid-back approach, not being fazed by and laughing off Sir Pentious' mad rambling, though she is susceptible to some embarrassing moments, such as fangirling over Verosika Mayday or convulsing and getting tongue-tied when Angel Dust started flirting with her.

She is patient and a quick thinker, due to how chaotic some of her interviews can get and the effort it takes to keep up with the ones she interviews.

She is very resourceful and helpful towards her allies, providing the hotel crew with information that would be of use to them, in addition to being a loyal friend, as she refused to give Vox pivotal information on the Hazbin Hotel, despite both him attempting to coerce her, and her clearly being very terrified of him. She often expresses disapproval of the hotel's detractors, especially Katie Killjoy, who she deeply despises. Though, this does not stop her from holding interviews with several of the hotel crew's enemies to get their perspective on things, such as the Vees.

## Appearance

HuniBun is a human-sized, anthropomorphic bunny with white and light purple fur. She has two large bunny ears, white eyebrows, and a tuft of white hair on her head. She is occasionally depicted with eye bags. She wears no clothing besides a grey and black jacket with a very large zipper.

## Abilities

* **Social Influencing**: HuniBun is capable of using her influence over social media, as well as her podcast, to spread good or bad information on a person or place, potentially swaying the public on them in the process.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Alastor

Huni has an obvious crush on Alastor, despite his grisly nature, fangirling over him and blushing in his presence. Alastor seems indifferent-to-friendly with Huni due to her amusing personality, often "flirting" with her in a way where it is difficult to tell if he is actually flirting with her or threatening to kill her.

## Trivia

* She is an obvious homage to Ashley Nichols, a cleanup artist on the *Hazbin Hotel* pilot and host of the real-life *HuniCast*, which she co-hosts with Michael Kovach and Edward Bosco (the pilot voice actors for Angel Dust and Alastor, respectively).
	+ Likewise, her appearance is that of Ashley's fursona of the same name.
* She is one of the few sinners in Hell that still uses her original human name after her rebirth.
* A plushie of HuniBun can be seen on display at one of Loo Loo Land's stands.
* She once tried to have the Overlords Stellar and Sock and Buskin appear on her podcast, but both considered themselves to be above podcasts and harshly turned down her offer.
* A running gag throughout her appearances is that HuniBun has the tendency to get extremely flustered and borderline incoherent whenever someone she is attracted to flirts with her, notably Alastor and Angel Dust (who both do so simply to fluster her, even though they are not actually attracted to her).
* She covers her face with her ears whenever flustered.
