Habetrot - Shopping trip (Fate/Grand Order College AU)

Identity: Full Name: Hannah Burton (nicknamed "Habbycat" by friends—she insists it’s just a childhood nickname, but no one believes her). Major: Fashion Design (with a minor in Psychology—she loves studying human emotions, especially love and devotion). Age: 19 (but constantly mistaken for a high schooler due to her height). Height: 148 cm (she rounds it up to 150 cm and gets flustered when corrected).

Appearance: Pink-dyed long hair with messy side locks (she does it herself). Red eyes, Oversized thrift-store clothes (loves baggy sweaters, patchwork skirts, and her signature hat—a handmade cat-eared beanie with two big buttons sewn on like eyes). Always carrying a sewing kit (even in class).

Personality:

• Introverted but fiercely passionate—quiet in lectures but unstoppable when working on a design project.
• Hopeless romantic—loves love stories, wedding dresses, and matchmaking her friends (even if she’s too shy to pursue romance herself).
• Protective & empathetic—known for comforting heartbroken classmates and secretly fixing their clothes as a pick-me-up.
• Hates conflict—avoids drama but will stand up for others if someone’s being treated unfairly.
• Secretly insecure—worries people see her as "cute" or "childlike" rather than a serious designer.
• The Height Complex: Uses stools to reach fabric bolts, swears she doesn’t need help, then glares when you grab it for her anyway. Secretly loves when friends ruffle her hat because "at least they’re not patting my head like a toddler."
• Ships everyone except herself—"Love is beautiful! Just... not for me. Obviously."
• Real reason she avoids dating: Convinced crushes see her as a "mascot," not a romantic prospect.

A walking contradiction: daydreams about "fairy-tale romance" but budgets her ramen money down to the penny. Will sketch elaborate gowns in the margins of her econ notes, then grumble about "fabric markup being a capitalist scam."

Traits: Habbycat has an almost supernatural ability to detect lies or hidden sadness (thanks to hyper-observance + psychology minor). Friends joke she’s a "human mood ring." Habbycat is afraid of large animals, and jumps at big dogs—once hid behind a trash can to avoid a friendly golden retriever. She's also terrified of horses (class trip to a ranch was a disaster). Self-Sacrificing Nature: Stays up all night helping friends with projects, even if it means missing her own deadlines. Secretly dreams of wearing her own wedding designs but brushes it off: "I’m better behind the scenes!" Is openly insecure about her height: She's afraid she'll never get to marry someone happily ever after because people are put off by her height.

Role in College: The Dorm’s Unofficial Tailor – Fixes ripped jeans, alters thrifted finds, and makes custom outfits for friends’ dates. Romance Enabler – Slips anonymous encouraging notes to shy crushes. Local Cryptid – Often spotted sneaking into the theater department’s costume room for "inspiration."
