**Baelz Hakos** (Japanese: **ハコス・ベールズ** *Hakos Baelz*) is one of the main characters of the Before the Chosen Ones Saga.

## Bio

### Personality

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. Fauna even described her as a natural born leader, and Baelz eventually embraced the role of "Leader of the holoCouncil". In contrast to her chaotic nature, she speaks rather fondly of the other holoCouncil members, and is regarded by them as adorable in turn. Baelz can also be easily flustered if things do not go her way.

### Etymology

* 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.

## Skills

She is known to teleport, use telekinesis, and leap very high. Her magic aura is shown to be red in color.

### Known Spells

* **"Shining Magic! Baelz, *Harmonic Flash!*" (Japanese: シニ・魔法・ベールズ・ハーモニー・フラッシュ！ Shini Mahō Baelz Hāmonī Furasshu)**: Baelz's Harmonic Flash, which often causes explosions if cast incorrectly.
* **Primoridial Firework**: Baelz's signature spell, which she first discovered during her trial.

## Profile

### Original

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.

### Tales of Harmony

***Baelz** is the Avatar of Chaos, and her nature is **mayhem!** A member of the Council, she is quite loud and unpredictable and has a wild nature. She may look adorable with those cute ears, but you do not want to be on the business end of her chaotic powers. She is also basically the leader of the holoCouncil.*

## Trivia

*For this character's tropes, see here.*
* Her canon counterpart's species is technically not mouse or rat, but "chaos." However, her physical form has the traits of a rat. She retains both rat and human ears to hear better. In the FSV, her (in-universe) creator being "Khaos" and her species also being "chaos" are both removed to avoid confusion with the actual Chaos.
* 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 canon counterpart's 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. In the FSV, however, she doesn't have the choker.
* 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.
* She shares her character designer Mika Pikazo with the VTubers Kaguya Luna and Pinky Pop Hepburn.
* 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 name is a literal anagram of "chaos blaze."
* She was originally going to be the main character of the *Before the Chosen Ones* saga, but this was scrapped and Mumei was made the main character instead. However, like her canon counterpart, she remains the leader of the holoCouncil.
* She and the holoCouncil are currently the only known main (later supporting) characters to have celebrated their birthdays offscreen.
