Maki Harukawa

Maki Harukawa is a student from Dangan Ronpa. She is a prominent character within the series and popular with fans. Harukawa debuted in Dangan Ronpa V3: Killing Harmony and survived The Mastermind's Killing Game, along with Shuichi Saihara and Himiko Yumeno.
==Canon Overview==
=== Pre-Game Personality ===
Harukawa was an average teenage girl and a fan of Dangan Ronpa, the in-game fictional reality TV show. She auditioned for the show's 53rd season and got on it. In fanworks, this is considered to be her Pre-Game Personality. Like with every other Killing Harmony student, all of this info is filtered by Tsumugi Shirogane, and fans may not believe this part of her character is true.
=== Dangan Ronpa Personality ===
Harukawa is introduced as a Child Caregiver. However, later on, it is revealed that she is actually the Ultimate Assassin (Super High School Level Assassin in original release). She recalls being raised in an orphanage and having to take care of the younger kids there.
During the game, she initially was hostile and cold towards her classmates, becoming slightly less hostile later on in the game. Her real ultimate is revealed in Chapter 2, and she is defended by Kaito Momota, leading to her developing a crush on him. His friendship with her and his death in Chapter 4 are the turning points in her character arc.
Harukawa's birthday is February 2nd. This is Twintail Day in Japan, something which may be referenced in fanworks. On Twitter and Pixiv, art tagged with #春川魔姫生誕祭[year value] are commonly released on her birthday. More birthday tag listings can be found on Dangan Ronpa Birthday and Anniversary Tag List.
