However, after encountering Gai Kurenai and the members of SSP, Haruka's personality gradually began to transform. The presence of these individuals provided her with new beliefs and hope, enabling her to see different possibilities and future directions. This change caused Haruka to start viewing the future in a more positive light and exhibiting signs of transformation.
Additionally, Haruka possesses a talent for painting. She can depict scenes she sees in her dreams through painting and can accurately describe the features of monsters.
==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Orb===
Haruka is a university student living in Tokyo. Since she was young, she has frequently dreamt of ominous premonitions, such as her first love moving away, experiencing heartbreak, and family conflicts. These dreams have made her extremely pessimistic about the future and led her to believe that all destinies are predetermined, resulting in deep-seated negative emotions.
However, due to her special ability to predict the future, she had already foreseen the existence of other King Demon Beast before the appearance of Gai and the actions of SSP. She published these prophecies on her blog, "Haruka's Dream Diary," but because the public did not pay attention to her predictions, she often felt despair and helplessness, further deepening her negative outlook on the future.
===Ultraman Orb===
In a precognitive dream, Haruka saw Hoe and learned that Hoe would appear at Yokusou Park on August 20th at 8:20 AM. Haruka's blog post caught the attention of Naomi and others, leading to her invitation to meet with the SSP and share her prediction. Despite feeling disgusted with her own abilities, Naomi believed that Haruka's dream might be connected to certain individuals' destinies.
When Haruka left the SSP office and waited at Tsubasa Park, she learned Gai's true identity as Ultraman Orb through her dream prediction. In the conversation with Gai, Haruka remained skeptical about the future, but Gai's response gave her a glimmer of hope: "Past events may not be changed, but there is still a possibility of change in the future." Haruka began to realize that the future she saw was not an absolute fixed outcome. However, at this moment, she still had some doubts about Gai's answer.
On that evening, Haruka continuously posted prophecies about Hoe on the Internet, urging the public to take precautions. However, her behavior attracted criticism and insults from anonymous netizens, who mocked her delusions for causing the appearance of the monster. These negative comments caused Haruka to fall into anxiety. That night, she had a nightmare in which Ultraman Orb was defeated by Hoe, and Hoe eventually materialized into a monster in the real world.
The next morning, when Haruka woke up, Hoe had already started appearing in the park and destroying the city. As Ultraman Orb began to battle Hoe, Haruka was influenced by Gai's unwavering hope, and she started to believe in the belief that "destiny can be changed". With this positive influence, Haruka gradually regained her composure and cut off the negative energy from within herself. Subsequently, she successfully provided Orb with crucial advice, using her prophetic abilities to assist Orb in defeating Hoe.
Eventually, Hoe who had lost the ability to fight, voluntarily allowed himself to be destroyed by Orb's beam. As a result, the future where "Orb was defeated" was reversed, and the battle ended with Ultraman Orb's victory. From then on, Haruka viewed her precognitive ability positively and began a new life with a new attitude towards her ability.
Later, she wrote a letter to Naomi, suggesting that the appearance of the Giants of Light in Naomi's dream may be related to the existence of Ultraman. At the moment of parting with Gai, she revealed that she had dreamt of an uncertain future for him, but also expressed her confidence in Gai and hinted that he would obtain Belial's Ultra Fusion Card. However, at this point, she already had the courage to move towards the future and believed that Gai would overcome any difficulties.
Later in the series, Haruka reappears and senses a great dark power awakening deep within the Earth. She reveals to Gai the signs of a possible revival of Maga-Orochi. However, upon seeing Gai's determination, she expresses a sense of relief.
