Haruna Kurodate

== Introduction ==
Haruna Kurodate (黒舘ハルナ in Japanese) is one of the characters in the 2021 roleplay game Blue Archive who studies in Gehenna Academy and wields a Sniper Rifle. She is the president of the Gourmet Research Society, a club that focuses on all things gastronomy. However, the club's methods in their goal of pursuing the perfect flavor can be considered quite destructive, as expected from students of Gehenna who values chaos and freedom. Their actions, especially Haruna's, are dangerous enough to the extent where the club is even considered a terrorist group.
Haruna plays both the antagonist and the protagonist role depending on the situation. She acts to her own accord and what she sees fit, regardless of whether it's good or bad, all for the sake of gastronomy. She played both the antagonist and protagonist role during the second chapter of the third volume of the main story, the "Treaty of Eden". In the final volume, "Where All Miracles Begin", specifically during the second, third, and fourth volume, she played as one of the many supporting protagonists. In the side stories, she played various roles, such as one of the antagonists during the "Chairman Hina and her Summer Vacation" event, a supporting character during the "Get Set, Go! Kivotos Halo Games" event, and as one of the main protagonists during the "A Little Before the Food Piled Up" event.
== Personality ==
As the club's name implies, the Gourmet Research Society aims to research various different foods and conditions to find the ultimate flavor, which comes with a lot of eating. However, unlike the other club members who are quite gluttonous, Haruna is greatly concerned with the form and ceremony of a meal. She focuses on the atmosphere of her meals, how they are prepared, what ingredients and tools are used, and where she eats. The idea she has in mind is that these various factors will contribute to the overall flavor and experience of the food. She is usually prim and proper, but her passion for food often turns destructive: If a meal or establishment doesn't satisfy her, her retribution will be painful, usually in the form of high explosives...
She has her own aesthetics when it comes to eating, and when things go against it, she has a ruthless personality that will destroy the store without hesitation. Her destruction has caused major problems for various areas in Gehenna, resulting in Hina Sorasaki, the president of the Disciplinary Committee (or Prefect Team), having to take action to keep Haruna under control. Haruna also tends to be mindful of herself rather than others, especially when it comes to food. She has a habit of kidnapping Fuuka Aikiyo, the president of the School Lunch Club, to have her cook for Haruna and the club.
However, Haruna has her fair share of good deeds in her lifetime. She is willing to help failing restaurants with genuinely decent food, as evident in the "A Little Before the Food Piled Up" side event. She also enjoys helping those in need although she tends to leave behind chaotic messes.

It's New Year's Eve, and Haruna is ready to try out the various New Years exclusive food all around the area. She wore this outfit during the "A Little Before the Food Piled Up" event where she visited a certain restaurant and was amazed by the incredible food. However, she was shocked to hear that the restaurant was going to close permanently soon. Hearing the news, she wanted to do all she could to keep that restaurant alive, even bringing in some friends to help out.

== Trivia ==
*Her motif is believed to be Beelzebub, the demon of gluttony. As Beelzebub is often represented as a fly, Haruna's eyes are an orange-red color, similar to the color of a fly's eyes. But it's not just Beelzebub, it's also thought to be a reference to the novel Lord of the Flies. It is believed to be an homage to the novel itself rather than Beelzebub in Lord of the Flies, and given the line in the novel that warns against the "pleasure of submission (meat)", it is possible to speculate that it symbolizes the overcomer who is beyond that pleasure or the prophet who first realizes salvation by Sensei.
