Suzy Hase

Suzy Hase is a chef in Moemoea Cafe.

After her stagiaire period and eventual graduation, she came to work for the café to get over her fears of tall people, as it interfered with her dreams of becoming a professional chef. Recently, she's gotten much better, although anyone over 5"5 still freaks her out when they appear all of a sudden (one of the reasons why she rarely leaves the kitchen during working hours).

Personality
Suzy, at a glance, is a very innocent and demure young lady. Which is true most of the time, as she is timid and reserved as she looks. This all changes when she's in her natural working environment- the kitchen. Once she enters her sacred place, she becomes outspoken and commanding. Although she can tolerate small mistakes every now and then, she will make sure that there will be no next time. As it is so, you could say that she has a lot of pride in herself and her abilities, making sure that she will give her all in whatever she does so.

She believes in working hard, seeing the best in everything (whether it be people or situations), and being sincere in all her approaches. This has caused her to be somewhat gullible, trusting older people easier and believing in urban legends. Due to her upbringing, the chef is an affectionate one, showering the people that she loves with hugs and kisses. If not that, she'd bring them out to eat at the places she likes or personally cook something for them.

In her time at the café, she has slowly come to change. Her fears, although not fully cured, are something she can face head on; confrontations no longer sound too horrible for her either. There might be times when she will or try to run away, but she'll always come back to resolve these. Unfortunately, her petty side has yet to improve, especially since she started talking more with the lady boss (Irenea Alcyone).

Biography
One starry evening, in Dunberg, Suzy Hase was born. Her parents raised her with lots of love and kept her sheltered. Losing her scared them very much (most especially her father), not even allowing her to play outside unless there was an adult with her. Sometimes, ice-skating was the only fresh air she could get. Her friends would have to come over to play too. Suzy's childhood pretty much revolved playing inside the house with dolls, busying herself with crocheting and knitting.

This also paved the way for her to develop the habit of bringing something to protect herself whenever she left the house. At first, they couldn't convince her to bring one but her father scared her. Mr. Hase told a story of big and tall people (other than her parents and friends) eating and munching small children like her. Ever since then, she developed a fear of tall people she didn't know, no matter what race they were. This made it hard for her to communicate with a lot of people when she grew up, no matter how much her parents explained that the tale wasn't true. That changed her personality into a much reserved and timid child.

When she turned 10, Suzy's fears had become worse after hearing about an urban legend involving an abnormally tall man who took children. In order to help her take her mind off that story, Susu's parents then got her interested in different hobbies. One of those was cooking. At first she wasn't interested but, after watching her parents enjoy the (although burnt) toast she cooked, it made her feel warm. Afterwards, she began to formally study culinary arts, vowing to make delicious meals for her loved ones. Sometimes, she would even experiment and take pleasure in eating different cuisines.

Many years later, Susu decided to get over her fear of tall people. This was standing in her way of becoming a professional chef. She wasn't sure of how to overcome this but her parents suggested that she work in a restaurant. They told her about how she'll have to work with lots of different people of different sizes and races. It would also show her the ropes of how professionals handle themselves at work inside and outside the kitchen. Convinced by those reasons, Suzy trusted in them, thinking she'd be able to fulfill her dreams while taking care of her fear. Suzy then moved to Mers for a fresh start, in search of a place to take her in.

As she walked the outskirts of the town, a café staff handed out a flyer to her. With that, she took one step closer towards her dreams…
