## Biography

**History**

Growing up, Haruto didn't exactly have an easy childhood. His father was absent due to working all the time and that only grew worse when he found out that his wife had been cheating on him and his daughter wasn't actually his. His father and mother divorced when he was only a year old. His mother tried hard for the first year, but everything became too hard for her and she spiralled out of control and fell into an addiction when he was only two years old.

He was left to care for his sister on his own for a long time, despite the fact that he was so young. But his grandmother came to look after them and help his mother get her life sorted out; however, nothing worked, no matter how hard his grandmother tried to get her to turn her life around. His grandmother was very loving and affectionate towards him, but not towards his mother or his sister and she absolutely detested his father. When she passed away, he was devastated, but a part of him was actually relieved because of how she treated his family and he knew that his sister didn't have to be afraid of her anymore and she couldn't condescend his mother anymore.

He went on to get a job as a newspaper boy when he was twelve so that he could earn extra money for him and his sister to get supplies. Because his mother never brought the basic supplies, like shampoo and toothpaste, which essentially left them smelling and having bad breath and teeth. Because of his mother spending what he earned on herself and her addictions, he felt the need to sneak around behind her back and hide the money. He also later on went to get jobs as a baker's apprentice and a waiter at a local diner.

He grew up with no friends because of his shyness. He was extremely aloof and tended to stay away from other people. However, he met Alyssa Bankgrove as a child, who he met by sheer accident. The two became close, however, even through their friendship, he never became anymore open. She was the main reason why he started attempting to do more productive things. He wanted to be a better person for her, even though it was something that he really struggled with.

During his youth (And still to this day) he had no luck with gaining any romantic partners. This was because he fell in love too quick because of appearances. He was far too oblivious to those who actually did have a crush on him. Alyssa and Cherry both had romantic feelings for him, yet he never noticed because he was completely oblivious. Despite Yua pointing out how clingy Alyssa was with him, he still never noticed her feelings for him. Haruto was also never that smart when it came to other topics, to which Yua would often tease him and call him 'thick as fuck.'

He fell for a young woman by the name of Quattra SinClaire, yet he never had the guts to tell her how he felt, despite the encouragement of his sister. Max was a significant obstacle for him, so he didn't tell her because of him. Haruto was bullied quite a lot by Max, as well as some others. Max was the main culprit, shoving him, hitting him and taunting him. It had been like that ever since they were in Elementary School together. Because Max came from a wealthy family and because Haruto came from a poor family, Haruto was his main target. This was despite the fact that Max's family worked alongside his father and the two of them actually got along. Max's sisters were nice to him, as well as his parents, which was what made him wonder what Max's problem was with him.

He had a rough time dealing with home life and school life. His father wasn't really active in his life, aside from sending money, this was because he was far too busy to be there. As for his mother, she was too busy taking drugs and drinking with strange men who would come over to the house. Yua and Haruto didn't like many of the people who came over; especially the older ones. However, Haruto did develop an attachment to one of them. A man by the name of Kenji, Haruto developed a strong attachment to him, however, he later on resented him and called the police on him after he discovered that he was in love with his sister (Who at the time was only thirteen). While she was the legal age, he was disgusted because there was a thirty year age gap. Yua was the age of consent, but not to be having sex with someone as old as Kenji was.

Haruto refused to ever talk with him again and made a promise that he would protect his sister from him, no matter what it took. He dedicated pretty much his whole life trying to make sure his sister was happy. All he wanted was to look after her, but he struggled to look after by himself. While she was pretty independent, she couldn't make as much money as he could because she wasn't able pretend to be older than she was, like Haruto could. He had faked his age to get better paying jobs and he also forged his mother's signature and Yua faked his mother's voice to trick people into giving Haruto a job.

No one aside from Yua and Cherry know about his two jobs. A few weeks after he started attending Magnolia High School, he started having strange dreams with the White Queen in them and he opened up to the School's hotline helper, Cherry (Who he had met in his youth but only truly got to know after he started opening up to her about his dreams). He felt comfortable telling her these things because he knew she wouldn't tell anyone. He knew Alyssa wouldn't either, but he didn't want to burden his best friend with these things. He developed a strong bond with Cherry and the two hung out quite a lot, but she never told him how she actually felt about him.

Haruto began to notice strange occurrences since Danny Osborne had entered the school, however, he never pointed it out to anyone, not even Cherry because he thought he was being silly. His dreams with the White Queen made him feel like he was loony. He told Cherry about them. He thought he was crazy but she assured him that he wasn't and told him that the dreams had to mean something. Originally, he believed that it was due to stress and fatigue (And still did up until he was actually taken to the other world).

He also grew up with a hatred of spiders because he once swallowed one in his sleep (Leading Max to torment him about it for the rest of his life, even many years after it happened).

## Relationships

### **Yuni Urimeshi:**

Haruto doesn't have a positive relationship with her, due to the fact that she prioritizes drugs, alcohol and smoking over both him and his sister. She's often too hungover in the morning to even get up, not even being there to see her children off for school in the morning. He grew to hold a strong resentment for her because of her neglect, though a part of him still does love her.

### **Kusuru Reo:**

He doesn't have an overly close relationship with his father since he isn't there most of the time since he's too busy with his work. However, he does care about his father and his father in turn cares about him.

### **Yua Reo:**

Haruto and Yua have a good relationship; he's always provided whatever he could for her. He also walks her to school every morning and walks her home every evening to make sure she's safe. He also takes her out for food when they have nothing in the house.
