Ok Alex-san. Haruko...what's her backstory? Where is she coming from and how does that bleed into how she acts? What does she look like? Likes? Dislikes? Friends? Enemies? Lovers? Ready? Go! ^_^

Haruko Crest was born in 1302 A.C. (After Cataclysm) on a small island in the Sea of Quiet Souls. Her father, a former warrior for hire, would often regale his three daughters (of which Haruko was the youngest) with his stories of battle and honor. His two older daughters took it in stride, but Haruko was entranced. Her mind became filled with images of her playing the brave warrior, and began to secretly train herself at night with faux swords made from downed tree limbs. One night, however, tragedy struck as the quiet village they lived in was attacked by slaver-mercs, men who made their living off of hunting down, capturing, and selling humans on the black market. Haruko's father, trying to defend his family, was slain by them, and her family- along with her -were taken across the sea to their camp in the border-coast of the Eastern lands. The idea, as they gladly informed their captives, was to sell them to the Underworld, a series of elaborate underground caverns and civilizations running chiefly under the Sea and Eastern ( ... )

Haruko Crest, 18 years of age in Season 1, stands aproximately 6'0", with a decent but not extreme muscular build on a 30-24-30 form. She has pale near-carrot-orange hair and glistening yellow eyes, calm but focused by nature. Her hair is cut in a Gidget-like bob, short curved bangs, with the back ending just below the start of the neck. However, it extends the closer it gets to her ears, ending with the last of her hair extending to the base of her neck just past her ears. Her attire consists of a loose tunic and pants, underscored by a chain shirt and greeves and tight bandages wrapping and covering her much like an undershirt or underwear would. All this is capped off with a pair of old leather boots, fingerless gloves, and whatever sword she has on hand at the time. Mind you, this is her Season 1 look; Season 2 differs quite a bit, understandible since she then becomes a core cast member.

Haruko is a dedicatedly strong person, and tries to have it show in just about everything she does. Part of her fears showing weakness, so she even tries to convince herself she is strong and willing to do anything to attain her goal. The fact, however, remains that at heart she is a good and selfless person; she proves this when she risks her life to protect a girl about to be crushed by falling debris. This selfless act earns her what she came for; a sword custom made for her by Shinobi, and in addition, Shinobi's respect and friendship. The sword he gives her, Fate, is a massive two-handed sword with a four inch wide and five foot long blade (with an extra foot and an inch added on for the guard and handle). Etched into the blade is an elderich rune for Fate ( ... )

Sounds good to me. I like...I like a lot. I can see why you'd think of my Aman work. Lesse...questions...what does the future hold for her? If you don't mind sharing, though you can keep it as spolier free as you want. What are HER aspirations...what does she want to do with her life? Does that clash or agree with her future? This can include the whole revenge thing or an other aspirations besides the revenge aspect?

Hell, I think if anyone wants spoiler-free work on Dragonfly, they probably shouldn't be in here. ^_~ Okay, lesse... I should point out she remains a main character once she joins the main cast in Season 2. However, in terms of her original goal of revenge, by the end of Season 2, her vengence has been settled. Her aspirations really are so focused on that revenge that she doesn't even have an easy time seeing past it. Long term planning is about as foreign to her as friends and lovers ( ... )

Re: Haruko poiuppx August 27 2004, 23:43:12 UTC

Now, the question of whether she joined just to repay Shin for the weapon, if it was because of the similarity to her own quest, if she simply wanted to help them do the right thing, or some other personal reason is a question left somewhat ambiguous. The fact is it's a combination of all of the above. However, during their travels, she begins to remember what it means to have friends, to have things beyond revenge and honor in one's life. In particular, Shinobi begins to bring out the most change in her... the two through numerous encounters grow close to one another, keeping Shinobi human in spite of his quest for vengence and reminding Haruko she is human in spite of her own. However, that quest comes back in a big way when they begin to realize that many of Darian's more attrocious actions were not in fact his own, but those of a doppleganger acting under Paladin Lorc Wyler. Among these actions is the order sent to the Darklings to find more slaves... and resultingly, Haruko's father's death. This, combined with Lorc's vile ( ... )
