Holo

Holo (ホロ Horo) is a female wolf deity and the lead of the light novel and anime series Spice & Wolf.

Character Background
Holo is a wolf harvest deity that was bound to the town of Pasloe, ensuring a bountiful harvest for the residents. As time went on the villagers became more self reliant, and Holo, feeling unneeded, skipped town with the traveling merchant, Lawrence, by 'jumping' from the villagers' wheat to Lawrence's wheat in his cart. She longs to return to Yoitsu, her snowy homeland.

Appearence
In her human form, Holo appears as a fifteen-year-old girl with brown hair and red eyes, although she still retains her wolf ears and tail. Due to her trademark ears and tails, Holo often has to wear clothing that hides them with baggy clothing, which she dislikes as she adores her tail. Holo's 'true' form is that of a giant brown wolf that is much, much larger than any human, although she can only revert to this form when given a offering of wheat or fresh blood.

Trivia

 * There has been confusion on whether or not her name is spelled Horo or Holo. Yen Press has said that they were instructed by the Japanese licensor that her name was indeed Holo.
