In early April 2018, Spanish-speaking imageboard Hispachan was shut down without warning by its administrator Zeta. Some of its users set up a bunker here on 8chan, and decided to create a refugee-tan to commemorate the event. Although both were meant to be temporary, a declaration of Hispachan's indefinite hiatus was later announced, meaning they might stick around for a while.
/hisparefugio/-tan is a young latin girl with shoulderlength unkempt orange-brown hair partially kept in a sidebang with two red hairclips, and brown eyes. Her face is unwashed, with patches of dirt here and there and a cross bandage on her right cheek. Her seemingly only article of clothing is an oversized yellow sweater with orange accents around the collar and on the sleeves. The sweater is equally dirty, and frayed at the edges. /hisparefugio/-tan lives in a box and is never seen without it. The box is a standard brown cardboard box adorned with various drawings and messages depending on the artist. Recurring motifs include the board's name, 8chan's infinity symbol, a red and yellow (the colours of hispachan) HR logo to denote /hisparefugio/ the board, and various phrases mostly meant to defy Zeta like "Zeta la cagaste" ("Zeta fucked up") and "a prueba de agua" ("waterproof").
