Husk

Husk is a grumpy, lazy, and somewhat apathetic old sinner whose interests in Hell now lie mostly in gambling, parlor tricks, and prolific drinking. During Loser, Baby, several of the neon signs above Husk relate to swindling, likely in reference to her using underhanded means for personal gain.

She can be gruff, standoffish, sarcastic, has a propensity to swear, and has a dry sense of humor. Despite this, she is also surprisingly patient and able to take a lot of outlandish events in her stride, electing to just drink her problems away later.

She is very observant, having the ability to read people and understand their problems well (even when they don't themselves), which makes her quick to notice when someone isn't being genuine with her, something she doesn't enjoy. She values authenticity and seems to understand herself and her own issues well too, openly accepting that her reliance on alcohol and gambling hasn't helped her feel better.

She is surprisingly empathetic and willing to give a non-judgmental listening ear to those who need it, and shows a sweeter and more protective side to those she forms a more substantial connection to. However, she is also somewhat insensitive as she points out sensitive things about other people, like when she bluntly shares the flaws of Charlie, Vaggie, and Sir Pentious in "Masquerade", and was quick to point out that Charlie has daddy issues, even when she says otherwise, in "Dad Beat Dad".

Husk also supports when someone stands up for themselves and demonstrates self-respect, such as in "Welcome to Heaven", where Angel Dust encounters Valentino in a sex club and stands up to him for the first time to protect Niffty, Husk congratulates Angel.

Still a "husk" of her former self, she claims to have "lost the ability to love" long ago, though whether literally or metaphorically is yet unclear. What is clear was the fact that she lost her status as an Overlord after making a deal with Alastor, in attempt to save her power after gambling all the souls she had.

Appearance: Husk is an anthropomorphic avian cat demon whose look is evocative of a magician, paired with a casino-referencing playing card theme. The sclera of her eyes are black, with light yellow irises and slit pupils. She has large and lengthy red feather-like eyebrows with black vertical stripes near the tips, and a small black heart above each eyebrow. Her fur is a dark taupe, overlaid with white on her face, torso, feet, and upper arms. The insides of her ears are white with a red tip at the point and a red heart in the center. A black tuft of fluff protrudes from each, creating the appearance of small hearts. She has a darker shade of her fur encircling her ankles, mimicking cuffs on a set of pants. Her tail is long and dark taupe-colored, ending with a large spray of plume-like feathers which are vivid red with black and white stripes. She has heart-shaped, light yellow paw pads underneath the paws on her hands and feet, along with dark fur atop her head cut short with a bun of white fur tied up in the back of her head. Her wings are large and red, with darker taupe on the undersides. The undersides of her wings are decorated with black stripes featuring red and white roulette wheel dot markings. The outside of her wings is decorated with more black stripes, which wrap around the joints and run around a row of white roulette wheel dots.

Husk wears simple, minimal clothing consisting of a black top hat with a red band and a gold button-like decoration, a red bowtie around her neck, a white dress shirt, and a set of black trousers held by black suspenders over her shoulders.
