	姫 (ひめ) 海 (かい) 棠 (どう) はたて	Hatate Himekaidou

ZUN	ZUN
天狗の世界のファッションは、制服なのか何なのかわからないけれど似たような方向性を持っている気がします。河童もそうですし、社会性のある集団はみんな似たようなファッションをしたがるのかも知れません。まあ、彼女は引き籠もりライターですけど、そういう人ほど他人からどう見られるかを気にするのかも。	I'm not sure if it's a uniform or what, but I feel like the trends in Tengu society's fashion would be quite similar to one another. The same is true with kappa, and maybe even many other social groups would want to dress in a similar manner. And well, Hatate's a shut-in writer, but perhaps people like her are more concerned about how others view them.
彼女のスカートの柄はガラケーをイメージしています。こういうデザインのガラケーありましたよね（笑）。そういえばガラケーで写真撮る人、見なくなったなぁ……。	Her skirt pattern is reminiscent of a Galapagos cell phone. There do exist Galapagos phones with this design, actually (haha). Come to think of it, I don't think I see anyone taking pictures with a Galapagos phone anymore...

背景はこれを描きたい！　というものが最初から決まってましたが、キャラクターの構図だけで何回も悩んでいました。最終的に木に着地する感じのはたてちゃんになりました。	I wanted to draw a background for this one! I knew what I wanted to go for since the beginning, but I was concerned plenty of times for just the composition of the character. In the end, I finally got Hatate to look like she was actually landing on the tree.
やはり妖怪の山は紅葉が似合う！　というのが自分的な意見です。「風神録」の影響ですね。	Likewise, the autumn leaves look so good on Youkai Mountain! That's my opinion, at least. I took some inspiration from Mountain of Faith for this.

Personality 『ダブルスポイラー』で初登場した鴉天狗。ほかの天狗たちと同じく妖怪の山に住み、独自の新聞を発行している。はたての発行する新聞は「花果子念報」といい、彼女の念写能力で生み出された写真を主として構成されているようだ。旧型のフィルムカメラを駆使する文とは異なり、はたてが写真撮影に使うのは「ガラケー」こと旧型携帯電話である。	Personality A crow tengu that first appeared in Double Spoiler. Like other tengu, she lives on Youkai Mountain and publishes her own newspaper. Her newspaper is called "Kakashi Spirit News", and it seems that it's mainly composed of photos taken using her thoughtography ability. Unlike Aya, who makes full use of old film-based cameras, Hatate makes use of an old-fashioned mobile phone, known as a "Galapagos Phone".
天狗たちは新聞の発行部数を競っていて、もちろん「文々。新聞」を発行する射命丸文とはライバル関係にある。はたてはその能力から取材に出る必要がないため逆に籠りがちであり、新聞の内容に新鮮味がないのが悩みだった。そこで、自分の新聞にはない魅力を感じる「文々。新聞」の秘密を探っていた顛末が『ダブルスポイラー』では語られている。	The tengu were competing with each other for the circulation of their newspapers, and of course, her rival was Aya Shameimaru, the publisher of Bunbunmaru Newspaper. Hatate, on the other hand, tends to seclude herself because she has no need to interview anyone thanks to her ability, and was thus worried that the contents of her newspaper weren't fresh. That's why, in Double Spoiler, she went to investigate the secrets of Bunbunmaru Newspaper, which was had an appeal that Hatate felt could not be found in her own newspaper.
