Hattie


Profile
Name Harriet, but you can call her Hattie - everyone does!
Origin The Great Unknown
Residence Hallow
Occupation Farmer and Owner, Hattie's Harvest Produce
Gender Female (she/her)
Species Reaper
Height Always taller than you.
Appearance Classic Grim Reaper, a human skeleton in a hooded dark cloak wielding a scythe... only she wears a straw hat and one of a closetful of handmade aprons with fruit and vegetable puns on them over the cloak. Her scythe has an ornate handle decorated with carved grapevines. She's also been reported to wear veggie-print rubber boots under the cloak.
Abilities Cloaking: Like all Reapers, Hattie is able to remain unseen by mortals. Most make themselves visible close to the subject's death, but that would be bad for business!
Immortality: As a personification of death itself, Hattie is untouched by mortality. She cannot age, die, or be physically harmed.
Precognition: Hattie is able to intuitively sense when someone will die, and by what means - not that it should discourage them from an apple a day, mind you!
Reaping: Hattie can harvest produce with supernatural speed and precision using her scythe. Presumably she can do this with souls, as well, but she insists she'd never dream of it!
Translocation: Hattie can move between locations instantaneously regardless of physical barriers put between her and the destination. Handy for when she's in the middle of a field and a customer shows up at the shop!
Personality Hattie is always chipper, friendly, and ready to help - just never you mind that she's a personification of Death! She's not here for your soul, she's here to shower you in fresh-picked free samples while you browse the bounty of her little shop. It's always harvest season in Hattie's orchards and fields, and all of her beloved plants are eternally productive thanks to a bit of Hallow's magic. Hattie pours love into everything she does, from working in the fields to chatting with customers and tending the shop. She remembers names, faces, and birthdays (even if you're pretty sure you never told her your birthday, you just bought apples, why would you have brought up your birthday), and she's a fount of knowledge on all things local. Denizens of Hallow tend to echo the same sentiment when visitors need a hand: "go ask Hattie"!

Her dragon, Cornucopia, was once one such visitor in search of direction. The two immediately took a shine to one another, and they've been inseparable ever since. Cornucopia is happy as a clam to be among ever-growing harvest bounty, and Hattie just loves his little "party trick" of spontaneously generating fruits and veggies. They're a match made in heaven... or whatever afterlife you happen to believe in. Hungry customers never stay that way for long!

Friendly and welcoming as Hattie is, you'd be wise never to trespass on her farmland. She's got one hell of a scarecrow out back.
