Hale is a young boy, approximately eleven years old, who serves as the central protagonist of the story. He has spent his entire life living in a small village in the jungle with his mother. Due to his mother being somewhat lazy and having a fondness for alcohol, he has been forced to take on the role of the primary homemaker, managing the household chores and responsibilities from a very young age.

In terms of personality, Hale is generally a patient and sociable child, which makes him the most normal and grounded person in his otherwise eccentric surroundings. He is the only character who seems to be fully aware of how bizarre and illogical the events unfolding around him truly are. Unfortunately, this awareness is a constant source of stress. He is prone to dramatic emotional outbursts, including anxiety attacks and full-blown tantrums, whenever the chaos reaches a peak. His frustration is often triggered by the antics of those around him, and he is known for his hysterical reactions when provoked. Despite trying to maintain his composure, he has a well-documented phobia of cockroaches. He also deeply resents his father, whom he considers to be just as hysterical and insufferable as he finds himself to be.

Hale's primary motivation is the simple desire for a peaceful, normal, and uneventful life. He wishes to be free from the constant torment, surreal phenomena, and unexpected crises that have become a daily occurrence. He is driven to solve the problems that others either create or ignore, often trying desperately to restore order to his home and the village, only to have his efforts thwarted.

Within the story, Hale acts as the straight man and the audience's anchor in a world of pure absurdity. He is the only character who consistently recognizes the strangeness of their situation, particularly regarding the enigmatic girl Guu. While everyone else seems oblivious or accepting of the impossible, Hale is left to react with understandable horror, confusion, and exhaustion. His role is that of the reluctant victim who must endure and adapt to the insanity surrounding him.

A key relationship is with the mysterious girl Guu, who was adopted by his mother. Guu is the primary source of his torment, constantly provoking him and using her reality-altering powers to make his life difficult. Despite this, she is also strangely loyal to him, creating a complex and frustrating dynamic. His relationship with his mother, Weda, is defined by her carefree and often neglectful behavior, which forces Hale to be the responsible one in the family. In the events of Final, he is also living alongside his younger brother, Ame, and must adjust to this new family member as they all relocate to the city for a time.

Hale shows a subtle form of development through sheer endurance. While he may learn to anticipate certain types of chaos, his fundamental nature as the flustered, normal boy does not change. He adapts to his circumstances out of necessity, whether that means surviving a return to the city and a new private school or eventually finding his way back to the jungle. His growth is less about changing who he is and more about continuing to cope with an impossible situation that never truly improves.

Unlike the other characters, Hale possesses no supernatural or extraordinary abilities. His only notable skills are mundane ones born from his situation. He is a capable homemaker, able to cook, clean, and manage a household. His most distinctive "ability" is an involuntary meteorological phenomenon in which a sudden, localized rainstorm appears whenever his frustration and stress reach a breaking point, symbolizing his emotional outbursts. Beyond this, his only real talent is his near-limitless capacity to endure psychological torment while being the only sane person in a world that has completely lost its mind.
