Personality: In many ways, Huenu is exactly what one would expect from a woodland guardian: reclusive, mysterious, and fiercely protective of her domain. Like the deer whose shape she imitates, her presence is often fleeting and unexpected. Unlike the deer however, she does not hide herself out of fear. Instead she distances herself out of a robust sense of independence. She hates to be tied down, and will drift from those she deems as infringing on her freedom.
While Huenu may come off as cold due to her aloof demeanour, she is not as hardhearted as she appears. She is compassionate towards the weak, and displays childish mannerisms around those she likes and trusts, shedding her serious persona at the drop of a hat. She is thoughtful towards others, and rarely steps on anyone's feelings by accident. Her keen perceptive abilities give her uncanny insight to the thoughts and moods to even the most guarded of minds. She makes a good tactician in times of chaos, and not surprisingly enjoys strategy games.
Huenu values peace and balance, but not to the extent that she will sacrifice her ideals for the same of harmony. She is proactive in her pursuit of her beliefs, and loathes the crime of apathy most of all. Peace is not something that is earned by waiting around and hoping—peace is won by eliminating those who would seek to destroy it. She is highly idealistic with a strong sense of justice. While Huenu values the opinions of others, her open-mindedness only goes so far. There is a definite line in her mind, and once it has been crossed, she deems those on the other side as irredeemably evil. She rarely offers second chances, and will demonise whomever she finds morally abhorrent.
Despite her relative youth, Huenu is set in her ways. Her own pride prevents her from seeing differently. Though on the surface she might appear to listen to the advice of others, it is not very often that it will sway her opinion. She is confident that she knows best, regardless of how others may feel. If greatly outnumbered, she might reconsider or at least seek a compromise, but that depends on the strength of her own conviction. Her confidence is not all bad. Her faith in herself and her ideals is a wellspring of courage. She is never afraid to speak her mind, or question authority.
Huenu may be upfront with her beliefs and opinions, but she is not brash. The doe-eyed face belies a cunning and unforgiving wit. Though not ordinarily a manipulative person, she will not shy away from underhanded methods if the ends justify the means. In fact, she prefers to deal with problems via backchannels rather than confront them head-on. Honour means little to her when her values are at stake. That said, she admires those who abide by a code, even while she pities them.
A critical component to understanding Huenu, is to appreciate the emphasis she places on balance. Though compassionate towards the weak and needy, she is not overly sentimental. She understands that death has a purpose just as life does. The two are in harmony, and without one or the other the world would tip upside down. She applies this view to Halloween Town and its human counterpart as well. There is nothing unjust about utilising the human world as a resource, even if it comes at the expense of a few.
Huenu is a creature of little curiosity. She is content to stay within her comfort zone, and rarely wonders about things she does not understand. Many times, she can be dismissive towards foreign activities, or even spending time with her peers. However she cares a lot about her friends, and can be lured into experimenting outside her usual boundaries through them. She is steadfast and true to those who earn her trust. Even when no one expects anything from her, she tends to come through with whatever they need. It's that attention to detail again. Though she would never betray someone for her own benefit, if she were led to believe that they had gone astray, she would not hesitate to act with swift justice.
Huenu's hobbies are on the simple side. To no one's surprise, she enjoys spending time in the woods. What kind of forest guardian would she be otherwise? She loves to explore the woodlands, turning over every leaf, and investigating every burrow. Rain and moonlight are special to her, a borderline spiritual experience, as she will often stand outside just to soak them up. She tends to enjoy more hands-on experiences than intellectual, though as mentioned before she enjoys all kinds of strategy games. She adores the arts, especially those that are born of unadulterated, unfiltered passion. She herself likes to paint, though it's more about the energy of the piece than the end result.
She dislikes loud noises and most urban environments. Staying cooped up in Amityville Academy is a trial for her.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? She wants to further her own power so that she can better serve the world. She has very lofty and self-righteous goals!
