Hayate

Hayate is the Leafé Knight of Wind.

Summary
Hayate is initially hostile towards Himeno Awayuki, refusing to acknowledge her as the new Prétear due to a past experience. With time, he gradually begins to accept her as the Prétear.

History
16 years ago, the last Prétear before Himeno, Takako, fell in love with Hayate, but he was unable to reciprocate her feelings, causing her to turn her powers towards evil. Which quickly made Takako become the Princess of Disaster. In the manga, it was told from Hayate that the Leafé knights almost died trying to stop the Princess of Disaster. The Leafé Knights of Ice, Water and Nature had died since they had used up all of their powers to seal Takako in order to stop her from causing more destruction. In the end, Mannen, Hajime, and Shin had to be reborn once again. Hayate also mentioned in the manga that the other 4 knights survived but had to restart their lives again from birth.

Hayate initially refuses to acknowledge Himeno as the new Prétear. After testing Himeno through various means, Hayate gradually begins to accept her as the Prétear and ironically falls in love with her. In an attempt to watch-over and protect Himeno, Hayate takes a part time job with her father working on the mansion grounds.
