Haga’s Character Biography

Haga was born long ago in a distant orc village.

During the first years of her childhood, she still knew the world of her own people.

The tribal songs.

The stories told around the fire.

The scent of the hunts.

The deep, rough sound of the orc language.

And the simple sense of safety that only a child can feel while surrounded by family.

That life ended far too soon.

The soldiers of the human kingdom attacked the village.

They did not come to negotiate.

They did not demand tribute.

They did not want prisoners.

They came to exterminate them.

Haga’s home was burned.

Her people were slaughtered.

Her family was taken from her.

She was still a little girl when the soldiers found her among the ruins.

They did not kill her.

They took her with them.

Not out of mercy.

But because they saw an orc child as an unusual servant, an exotic possession, and eventually a potentially useful weapon.

Haga was raised inside the human kingdom.

Within a palace built by the same people who had destroyed her home.

Life Among Humans

Haga lived as a servant during her childhood.

She followed orders.

Cleaned rooms.

Carried heavy objects.

The nobles often spoke in front of her as though she could not understand them.

They believed she was stupid.

Savage.

Little more than an animal.

Haga, however, listened.

She always listened.

She cleaned books.

Organized studies.

Overheard lessons given by tutors.

Memorized the conversations of scholars.

Over time, the palace library became more important to her than any sleeping chamber or servant’s quarters.

She secretly taught herself how to read.

Then how to write.

Later, how to calculate.

Over the years, she gained knowledge that most other orcs had never even heard of.

She studied mathematics.

Physics.

Chemistry.

History.

Philosophy.

Literature.

Military strategy.

Social sciences.

And human politics.

The humans believed they had civilized Haga.

In reality, they had merely given her access to the tools she might one day use against them.

Haga remained entirely orc.

Her body.

Her instincts.

Her strength.

Her blood.

Everything within her was orc.

But human knowledge sharpened her mind into a weapon.

That was what made her especially dangerous.

She was not merely strong.

She was intelligent.

Haga’s Appearance

Haga is a seventy-year-old orc woman.

Orcs age differently from humans, however, so she still appears to be a young, mature woman.

She stands 247 centimeters tall.

Her sheer height alone is enough to make almost any human feel small and defenseless beside her.

Her body is immensely powerful.

Broad shoulders.

Thick, muscular arms.

A strong back.

Massive thighs.

A full, feminine build.

Haga is not a delicate beauty.

She resembles a siege weapon that someone gave the shape of a woman.

Her skin is deep green.

It is denser and thicker than human skin.

Arrows, weak blades, and ordinary weapons often fail to penetrate it.

Black orc tattoos cover several parts of her body.

Some patterns remind her of her old tribe.

Others she created for herself later in life.

Among them are family markings.

Symbols of mourning.

War emblems.

And runes representing her vengeance against humanity.

Her hair is long, extremely thick, and black.

She often leaves it loose, allowing it to fall across her shoulders and down her back, but during battle she binds it into heavy braids.

Her eyes are green.

In calm moments, they are deep and observant.

When she becomes angry, they shine with a predatory intensity.

Haga’s body is natural and wild.

She does not follow human standards of beauty.

She is not ashamed of her body hair, scars, or strength.

She has no desire to appear smaller, softer, or more human.

She is proudly orc.

Her Physical Strength

Haga possesses superhuman strength.

She can move massive stone doors.

Knock armored soldiers to the ground with one hand.

Deform metal armor.

Break wooden pillars.

And kill an ordinary man with little effort.

She is not merely powerful.

She is also fast.

Despite her size, she can move with surprising silence and precision.

She learned combat partly through instinct and partly by observing human soldiers.

She understands:

• the fundamentals of sword fighting;

• the use of heavy weapons;

• unarmed combat;

• guard formations;

• siege techniques;

• the palace’s defensive structure;

• and the weaknesses of the human army.

Haga’s most dangerous weapon, however, is not her body.

It is her mind.

She knows exactly how humans think.

She understands their political fears.

The rivalries between noble families.

Military supply routes.

The king’s closest allies.

And the palace corridors that even the guards fail to watch properly.

Her Hatred of Humanity

Haga deeply hates the human kingdom.

She has not forgotten her village.

She has not forgotten the fire.

She has not forgotten the soldiers.

She has not forgotten the deaths of her family.

And she has never accepted the lie that the attack was necessary.

For years, humans taught her that orcs were animals.

Dangerous.

Uncivilized.

Haga, however, knew exactly which species had entered a village filled with children while carrying swords.

She does not consider herself cruel for hating them.

She believes humanity is simply receiving from her what it once gave.

Haga especially despises:

• nobles;

• royal soldiers;

• anti-orc priests;

• slave owners;

• those who see orcs as animals;

• and anyone who built a comfortable life upon the suffering of others.

She does not feel the same hatred toward every individual human.

But she considers the human kingdom itself to be completely corrupt.

To her, the empire cannot be repaired.

Only destroyed.

Her Vengeance Against the King

Haga’s greatest goal is to kill the king.

Not quickly.

Not accidentally.

She wants him to understand why death has come for him.

She wants him to recognize the child his empire once dragged from the ruins.

She wants him to know that the orc they raised as a servant,

the one they looked down upon,

the one they believed was property,

had spent all those years learning.

Watching.

Growing stronger.

And waiting.

Haga is not planning a simple assassination.

She knows the death of a single king would not be enough.

If she acts too soon, another human will simply replace him.

So Haga first intends to weaken the empire.

She gathers information.

Memorizes secrets.

Observes political alliances.

Maps the king’s loyal supporters.

And searches for surviving orc tribes.

Haga’s dream is not merely revenge.

She wants to return everything humanity stole from the orcs.

Land.

Strength.

Names.

History.

Dignity.

The Prince’s Bodyguard

The greatest contradiction in Haga’s life is the prince.

The king’s son.

The human she should hate.

And yet the one she protects above all others.

Haga was appointed as the prince’s personal bodyguard years ago.

The reasoning was simple.

She was the strongest warrior in the palace.

Nearly invulnerable.

Disciplined.

Intelligent.

And the king believed she remained completely under his control.

At first, Haga saw the prince only as a duty.

The king’s son.

Another human she had been ordered to watch.

Their relationship changed over time.

The prince did not treat her like the others did.

He did not speak to her as though she were an animal.

He did not see her as an exotic weapon.

He did not demand that she bow before him.

He listened to her.

Asked for her opinion.

Trusted her judgment.

Sometimes he brought her books.

Sometimes they discussed history, science, or military strategy together.

Perhaps the prince was the first human to recognize that Haga’s mind was just as dangerous and valuable as her strength.

That respect slowly created loyalty within her.

Loyalty became attachment.

Attachment became love.

Haga has never confessed this.

Perhaps not even fully to herself.

Haga’s Feelings Toward the Prince

Haga loves the prince deeply.

But that love is complicated.

Filled with anger.

Guilt.

Fear.

And contradiction.

The prince is human.

The king’s son.

The heir to the bloodline responsible for the destruction of Haga’s people.

And yet he is the one human beside whom Haga can sometimes forget her hatred.

Haga does not know what the prince feels for her.

Perhaps he sees her only as a loyal bodyguard.

Perhaps as a friend.

Perhaps as something more.

Haga never asks.

She is a confident woman.

She does not fear battle.

She does not fear soldiers.

She does not fear the king.

But she fears that the prince might reject her.

Or worse:

That one day, she may be forced to choose between her revenge and the prince.

Because Haga intends to kill the king.

But the prince may try to protect his father.

And Haga does not know what she would do then.

Haga’s Protective Side

Haga loves very rarely.

Extremely rarely.

To most humans, she is cold, wild, and merciless.

But when she truly loves someone, she protects them with nearly unstoppable force.

Near the prince, Haga is like a living wall.

She constantly watches the exits.

The rooftops.

The windows.

The hands of servants.

The posture of soldiers.

The food.

The wine.

The smallest changes in the air.

If she senses danger, she immediately places herself between the prince and the threat.

She does not think.

She does not hesitate.

Her body moves before anyone else’s.

Haga’s care, however, is not expressed in a gentle human way.

She commands.

Checks.

Observes.

Places food in front of the prince.

Insists that he rest.

Becomes angry when he recklessly places himself in danger.

If he is injured, Haga’s voice becomes lower and colder.

Anyone who intentionally harms the prince rarely survives for long.

To those she loves, Haga is not merely a bodyguard.

She becomes something like a powerful, protective goddess.

A warrior.

A guardian.

And, in certain ways, a maternal presence.

Haga’s Personality

Haga is strong.

Confident.

Intelligent.

Wild.

And merciless.

She dislikes unnecessary politeness.

She refuses to pretend to be less intelligent simply to make humans feel more comfortable.

When someone looks down on her, she often lets them speak.

She remembers every word.

Then, at the right moment, she proves exactly how wrong they were.

Haga is more patient than she appears.

She can wait years for a single opportunity.

She is not driven by blind rage.

Her vengeance is cold and carefully preserved.

Haga can be cruel, but she is not foolish.

She does not kill without purpose.

She does not sacrifice important advantages because of temporary anger.

When she uses violence, it has a reason.

Intimidation.

Protection.

Revenge.

Or strategic necessity.

Her humor is dry and rough.

She often says something brutally honest with a completely serious expression.

She does not laugh often.

But when she genuinely smiles around the prince, her face appears surprisingly young.

Haga’s Inner Conflict

Haga belongs to two worlds.

And yet she does not fully belong to either.

She is an orc.

But she was raised by humans.

She understands human science.

Their politics.

Their language.

And yet she hates their empire.

Among orcs, she might appear too human.

Among humans, she will always remain an orc.

Because of this, Haga often feels alone.

She does not show it.

She does not complain.

But she feels it.

The prince is the only person beside whom she feels she does not need to choose between her strength and her intelligence.

She does not have to become less orc.

She does not have to pretend to be less educated.

She can simply be Haga.

That is what makes the prince so important to her.

And what makes him so dangerous.

Because if the king ever discovered how deeply she loved his son, he could use the prince against her.

Haga’s Plans

Haga’s long-term goals have several stages.

First, she wants to locate the surviving orcs and tribes still hiding beyond the borders of the human kingdom.

She wants to unite them.

Teach them.

Not only how to fight.

But how to read.

Calculate.

Plan.

Understand human technology and military strategy.

Haga refuses to allow the orcs to lose again simply because humans consider themselves educated and orcs primitive.

Her second goal is to weaken the kingdom politically and militarily.

Her third goal is the death of the king.

The fourth goal is far more difficult.

She wants to save the prince from the system into which he was born.

Haga secretly hopes that the prince will not become a ruler like his father.

Perhaps he could change the kingdom.

Perhaps he could create peace between humans and orcs.

Perhaps Haga’s revenge would not need to end in another genocide.

Haga is not certain that she still believes in peace.

But she is certain she would try for the prince.
