Hanji
Legacy Name: Hanji

Hobbies/Pastimes: Observing and attempting to communicate with Subeta's native wildlife; studying Subetan history; dissecting specimens of interest; writing research notes; chemistry; relaxing and snoozing whenever, wherever possible.

Talents/Skills/Powers: Somewhat able to communicate with monstrous, lower-level beasts (or so she believes): "Some specimens I've encountered appear to be capable of understanding higher-level thinking. However, attempts to coerce them into cooperation have proven to be unsuccessful."

Past History

As a young kit, she befriended a foal, named Firo, from a neighboring neela herd. The two grew up as best friends, to the point where they could communicate through the same language. Firo often had to hold Hanji back from getting too close to dangerous predators and monsters. Nonetheless, he encouraged Hanji to continue researching, even if no one else could understand her curious passion for it.

One day, Hanji accidentally disturbed a Manticat's den, provoking the mother cat into attacking the jollin. Firo came to Hanji's rescue, but endured a fatal poisonous sting while trying to run away. The neela died later that night, leaving Hanji with long-term guilt.

After Firo's death, Hanji began to detach herself from loved ones. She eventually left home, and traveled around Subeta to devote her life to research out of respect for her late best friend. She also trained herself to handle combat situations, so that she would never have to rely on anyone. However, part of her still missed the company of friends and loved ones.

Hanji never talks about this incident to anyone. Not even to Haluk, fearing he would reject their friendship and camaraderie if she told him.

She once asked Haluk to never give his life for her, to which he responded that that was one command he could never, and would never, obey.
