About Holo
Holo is a demi-human wolf that has the power to control the rate that wheat can grow. She made a promise to the village of Pasloe to keep their wheat growing. After a few centuries, they became self-sufficient enough to no longer need her help, so she left on Lawrence’s wagon. Here is a better look into Holo.
Background
Holo is able to control how fast wheat can grow, making her very handy for a growing village. Which Pasloe was able to do, they kept Holo tied near the village by making her promise to help them. Holo helped so much that the village became almost completely self-sufficient, making her feel neglected which is why she left. She needed a way to return to her homeland and made a promise with her escape helper Lawrence. Her adventures with Lawrence reveal a lot about her personality, which is why Holo is so popular. She is beloved for being funny, even flirtatious, and having many drunken adventures. Being the protagonist, she also has incredible powers and can transform into a giant wolf bigger than an elephant!
Special Abilities
Other than having the ability to turn into a giant wolf, Holo is also capable of a few other things. She has eternal youth, super hearing, and super smell. She is known for her ability to make wheat grow faster, however, this uses the nutrients in the ground faster. Holo warned the village of Pasloe that using her ability would cause dry seasons eventually until the nutrients could replenish.
Other Important Spice and Wolf Characters
Her cart-driver/companion Kraft Lawrence is the other main character of the series. He is her companion throughout the entire series. Another main character is Myuri, the daughter of Lawrence and Holo. Myuri is the protagonist of the follow-up to Spice & Wolf, Wolf, and Parchment.
Kraft Lawrence
The traveling merchant and the main reason the story can take place is because of Lawrence. He is the man who first runs into Holo, as he looked in his cart one night and saw Holo. After she proves her powers, he actually blacked out, then he returned to Pasloe and talked with others about this. Setting out on the road again, she joins him and they begin their adventures. Running from traitorous merchant companies and even the church, they have some intense moments together. This draws them closer than the debt Holo owes Lawrence, they begin to rely on each other and develop feelings. Lawrence fights and bleeds for Holo, and she fights for him and together they form a relationship.
Myuri
The relationship between Holo and Lawrence is a success as they have a daughter, Myuri. Myuri enters the scene in the follow-up series, Wolf and Parchment as the protagonist. She is a troublemaker and extremely smart. Also being the daughter of a human and a deity, she can hide her wolf tail and ears at will. In addition to this, she can also turn into a giant wolf, however, her wolf form is smaller than Holo’s. However, she is still big enough to carry her companion easily when she takes off on her own adventures!
