## First Appearance

### Debut

Code Geass: Yoshiko of the Insurrection Live 1 Song 4: "Shinonome's White Knight Appears"

**Haruka Konoe** (近江 遥 *Konoe Haruka*) is the deuteragonist of Code Geass: Yoshiko of the Insurrection and the titular main protagonist of Code Geass: Haruka of the Confrontation. She is the sister of the school idol from Nijigasaki High School, Kanata Konoe. She also bears the title **Knight of Shinonome** and is currently the leader of the School Idol Knights (replacing Maki) under Zero. She also possesses a Geass called the "Power of Absolute Threat Detection", which allows her to detect anyone that may deem a threat to the ones she cares about a lot and to herself. She is the fanfic's version of Haruka Konoe.

## Appearance

Haruka is a fine young woman with a slim figure, brown hair whom she ties into twintails, and blue eyes. She is also slightly shorter than Yoshiko. When she first appeared, she seems to be stoic, but after realizing her sister's true job, her expression turned into a sad and desperate one. After joining Zero, she started to smile again.

In the first book, she is usually seen in her white Knightmare Frame battle suit and in flashbacks, her usual clothing at home. In the second book and the sequel, she often wears regal clothing, specifically the uniform of the School Idol Knights accompanied with a long dark red cloak. Her uniform would received some slight changes after she joined Zero. She would also be seen wearing her Shinonome uniform once when she met up with Yoshiko at the Rainbow Bridge.

## Personality

Much like her original self, Haruka is much more energetic and hardworking than her sister. She also retained the belief of having perfect behaviour and manners. Her personality somehow changed after µ's subjugated her school. After the subjugation, she started to become stoic and much like every imperial, started to dislike things that were considered obscene. After realizing her sister's true job, she suffered depression while becoming desperate to gain power in order to save her from her current status. After her talk with Zero during her month-long imprisonment, she started to smile once more after realizing that she, not the empire, is the only one who can really save Kanata from her current state and protect her fans from sacrificing themselves for her.

After the Sunshine Insurrection, Haruka managed to have all of her normal personality return to her with some bonuses, such as her undying loyalty towards Zero, which sometimes extends to her true identity. She also has the tendency to research her potential enemies as evident with the fact that she knew who Yoshiko vi Tsushima is before realizing her true identity as Yohane Zero. By the time of the sequel, Haruka has became a big fan of Arthurian legend. She also started to believe that she needs to be prepared to go to war in order to protect the peace Zero fought for. Other than her sister and Zero, Haruka also cares about her comrades and her fans.

Throughout the course of the fanfic, Haruka would continuously suffer from Guilt Complex, which first developed after she befriended Eve Wakamiya and knew the horrible thing she had unwittingly done to her. Other than that, while having a true sense of justice and a follower of the chivalric code, Haruka is prone to bad decision-making once her emotions had consumed her.

## Abilities

### Physical

Haruka possesses a top-notch physical prowess. She had also honed her martial arts skills throughout the years after being trained at childhood. Due to her father's connections in the military, the way she honed it is somewhat akin to extensive military training. Thanks to her skills in martial arts, she managed to fend off multiple assaults from unknown men when she stared going home alone. She also have impressive hand-eye coordination. Haruka also possesed an impressive skill in Knightmare Frame combat. Like her fellow School Idol Knight, Setsuna Yuuki, she was also brought into multiple Knightmare simulators at young age. All of her visits proved to be useful by the time she was sent to combat in an actual Knightmare. After being gifted the Lancelot, her skill in Knightmare Frame combat continued to develop even more. Her skill eventually reached its peak with the Lancelot Soror, the successor unit of the Lancelot Albion, which in turn, was developed from the Lancelot Conquista, the Lancelot's first successor. She initially developed a fighting style with her instincts, but after the Sunshine Insurrection, she started using both brain and brawn as she believes that both are required to truly maintain the peace Zero fought for.

### Geass

Haruka's Geass, which was bestowed upon her by R.R. before her Code was taken, gives her the "Power of Absolute Threat Detection", allowing her to detect anyone that may deem a threat to her or anyone she cares about or herself. It functions like a radar and Haruka will see a blip of the target(s) when activated. Her Geass manifests on the left eye and has a long to close range since it can detect targets from a certain range (Max range for others: 30km; Max range to self: 100m). It uses the mind's will and the heart's desire to deem which person might deem a threat. If the target is under a Geass command to harm the ones she deeply cared about whilst having no intentions to do so, the target cannot be detected by her Geass. It is also an effective weapon in combat, as she will use it while inside of the cockpit of her personal Knightmare Frame, the Lancelot Soror, and wreak havoc amongst her enemies.

## Trivia

* Haruka in the fanficverse is a mixture of her original counterpart from the Love Live! franchise, Suzaku Kururugi and Bismarck Waldstein from the Code Geass franchise.
* "近江" is homophonous with "近衛", meaning "Imperial/Royal Guard", which also defines her role in the fic: The strongest knight among the School Idol Knights, an elite unit whose other main objective is to guard the most important people in the United Federation of School Idols, and as the "Black King," Yoshiko/Yohane Zero's bodyguard.
