Hound (사냥개) is a Villain and subordinate of the widely infamous Puppeteer, the Lord of Castle Ash.
She is a part of the newly reformed New Nera following the Smiling Man's declaration of its return and becoming a member of the Elders after defeating Reagan Sinclair, the Mad Elder.
Hound was introduced in The Torch Arc, as one of the Villains that answered the Smiling Man's call to attack the Hero Clan during their transportation of The Torch and one of the participants that wanted to capture Nenya in the Battle of The Torch.
Appearance
Hound is a young-looking woman with long, unkempt black hair and dark circles under her eyes, giving her a sleep-deprived, manic appearance. Her skin is a deep grayish tone, further accentuating her deranged look. She has a stutter in her speech but is still able to communicate clearly enough to be understood. Hound dresses in a dark red outfit, with a black shirt under her jacket and black shoes.
Personality
While not much is known about Hound's full personality, she exhibits classic villainous traits. She takes pleasure in inflicting pain, as shown when she delighted in seeing Nenya suffer after using her Gift on the young girl, even considering the idea of cutting off her fingers to intensify the pain. This demonstrates her sadistic tendencies.
Despite her cruel nature, Hound is also pragmatic. When faced with the overwhelming power of the young Hero Killer, she wisely chose to retreat, recognizing the danger and quickly reassessing the situation.
