Holo

ホロ

Holo is a wolf harvest deity originally from a northern land known as Yoitsu. She made a pact with the men of a town called Pasloe, promising to ensure good wheat harvests year after year. However, as time passed, the townspeople gradually began to forsake Holo and no longer relied on her as they once did. Consequently, Holo fled the town in Lawrence's wagon and began traveling with him to see how much the world had changed since her time in Pasloe. Holo has taken the form of a girl younger than Lawrence, though she retains her large white-tipped wolf tail and ears. Her true form is that of a very large wolf, which many people revered and feared.
She refers to herself as the "Wise Wolf of Yoitsu" (Yoitsu no Kenrou). She is typically very haughty and self-sufficient, but due to her isolation in Pasloe for hundreds of years, she gradually feels very lonely and sometimes reveals a more fragile side. She relies on Lawrence for company because she fears loneliness, a fact Lawrence is very aware of and tries to comfort her in his own way. Holo is also very aware of the different time spans between her and Lawrence, as a human lifespan is like a blink of an eye for her kind. Holo is quite scared of that fact but hides it with jokes. She has a peculiar way of speaking, modeled after that of oiran, high-class courtesans. She is fond of delicious food and alcohol, but especially loves apples. She takes pride in her tail and takes special care of it, constantly combing and maintaining it.
