The very EMOTIONAL and extremely strong female of the main 6.

## Appearance

Haruhi wears the short sleeve version of the female school uniform with legging shorts. On her right upper arm is an armband (more specifically a compression arm sleeve).  Her skin tone is an olive color with short brown hair, and orange eyes.

She has a medium female muscular build. When her school mates aren’t busy being scared of her, some call her sexy. Never would they say that to her face.

She is the most expressive of the six main characters. Her most dominant emotion is anger and enthusiasm. Normally she is seen with a frown and or scowl. It automatically intimidates anyone who approaches.

## Personality

Haruhi is basically the angry one. She is extremely temperamental and solves most problems with brute force and violence. She's that anime character with red hair and a Firey attitude. Despite her tough exterior, she cares a lot about her friends and family. You can tell, because she will go out of her way to help or protect them when or if they need it. She'll do it even if they ask her not to.

Fights and strong gets her excited. She gets unbelievably pumped when she thinks she has met someone who can beat her. She never backs down from a challenge, and never runs away from a fight. When it comes to most fights, Haruhi would prefer fighting all battles by herself to protect the people she cares about. That is a tad bit hypocritical, because she also gets mad if a friend decides to do something dangerous without help.

With her friends, she is still pretty violent and easily irritated. She is straight forward and never sugar coats anything. If she doesn't like you, she will say it. She hates fake people. People who suppress their feeling, hide their true personalities, and or lie irritate the crap out of her.

One person she cares about the most is Sakura. Sakura is the third most important person she would take a bullet for before anyone else. Third only to her father and sister.

## Background

Haruhi was originally known as Meiko. To be honest, she is definitely a neglected character in most aspects. She was just suppose to be the serious one in the group. Her strength just came up because we wanted someone to rival Mr. T. We also thought that since she smacks people in the head anyway, we might as well make it hurt.

Who she was as an individual was unimportant. That was until we had a great idea to make her background and connect it to a very entertaining anime called BAKI!

Haruhi's background begins simply. She and her younger sister (by 5 years) Mica are raised by their father Taki (stop rolling your eyes). He raised them with their mother who passed away not long after Mica's second birthday. It wasn't until Haruhi was 11 years old that she began exploring her strength to her father's dismay.

Her father, Taki, tried to raise his children away from the world of fighting. In that world, he knew very well, strength was more important than love and family. Taki's own father was a true monster who wouldn't disagree with you if you called him that. He lived to fight. That man killed his wife and left his son traumatized. Taki ended up growing up alone because his father left to travel the world in search of a strong opponent. Taki stood no chance against his father despite being absurdly strong himself.

One day, Taki had returned home to his two children in a panic. He could sense a power that chilled him to the bone. When he opened his door, his fears were realized. His father had found his home and his kids. Haruhi and Mica sat on their grandfather's lap. Mica sat happily laughing unaware of the danger. Haruhi sat with an uneasy smile. When she saw Taki enter the room, she instantly jumped down to give him a hug. Taki was completely uninterested in conversation and told his father to put Mica down and leave. He was ignored. His father laughed and suddenly charged at Taki knocking him to the ground. Taki's father shook his head in disappointment still holding tightly to Mica. He began to comment on how weak Taki had become taking care of the children. He expressed anger towards Taki's weakness and his own lack of knowledge of having grandchildren.

"They are weak now, but I can make them better. One of them could end up being a decent opponent," said Taki's father.

Taki obviously didn't like the idea of that. A fight started when Taki's father refused to put Mica down. Haruhi watched helplessly as her father was beaten and her sister screamed for help. Being the bold person she was, Haruhi ran up to her grandfather and tugged on his leg begging him to stop. She told him that she will grow up, train, and become his ultimate opponent. She told him that she was going to fight him and make him regret ever messing with her father. Surprisingly, Taki's father agreed to her challenge without question. He returned Mica, grinned terrifyingly, and left.

From then on, Haruhi trained daily. She ended up learning all fighting styles and techniques, but she was only interested in pure strength. In her mind, the goal, in the end, is to knock the old man out cold with one punch. That is what she will do.

Two years after the encounter with her grandfather, Haruhi found Sakura. They became friends and Haruhi got her father to let Sakura live with them since she had nowhere else to go.

Both she and Sakura got scholarships to Admenversity. Haruhi got her scholarship after she demonstrated her talent and strength during the school's admission interview after she got irritated at a judge for bringing up her grandfather. That would usually get you disqualify from being admitted, but somebody on the inside decided to give her a chance.

## Abilities

Haruhi's strength is all-natural and the only thing she uses to fight. She has Earth as an element so that means could use earth magic to mold and manipulate land.

 She doesn't use it often though. An example of her using it would be to mold a giant rock sphere from the ground, have it float in front of her, and punch it towards her enemy. Straight punching them would be way more effective. Haruhi doesn't do fancy or flashy.

Before we could determine what she was capable of, we basically said she was like the fighter class (striker advancement) in the game Dungeon Fighters Online. She was the closest thing to what we imagined Haruhi to be. She ended up being the base. Honestly, picking one specific advancement for her is hard because she is a delightful mix of all of them.

### Weapon(s)

Her fists are weapons! But if she did, It is a hammer. The hammer we had

     in mind looks like the one to the right. The picture itself was found on Pinterest. It said its "Paloma's Warhammer, Sedemruptor, Latin for Throne breaker". It says that it was saved from "RaGEZONE dotcom. I just decided to put that information on here just in case. That's all I know about it. It should obviously be taken as an example.

The gloves/gauntlets on the right are what she uses mainly when she fights.

### Skill(s)

**Earth Manipulation-**She can create, shape and manipulate earth and "earthen" elements including most solid objects, specifically all minerals and mineral compositions regardless of their state (mountain, boulder, sand or dust), dirt, soil, etc

    **Combo Empowerment-** Haruhi can become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. with each successive hit they land on an opponent, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers.

**Absolute Strength-** The user is able to go toe-to-toe and even surpass the strongest of beings with nothing but the raw force of their physical blows. Any level of weight Haruhi needs to lift or move is irrelevant as their body can emit a limitless amount of force that can repel an object of any mass.

With this ability, she could travel massive distances in a single jump, unleash strikes of unparalleled might, obliterate massive life forms with one hit, cause destructive quakes by smashing the ground, shatter planets with their fists, tear through/create space-time anomalies with their strength, etc. It should also be noted that she is immune to all powers that could manipulate, affect or rob them of their strength.

This sounds extremely overpowered, and it is, but Haruhi does have a limit. It is true that she can increase her power to whatever she sees as necessary, but the ability is built up from energy. Her energy is gained from eating. She eats ten-course meals on a daily bases. It sounds sort of great, but she hates it. Food and eating is something she'd like to put in the back of her mind. She has had a taste of everything. Everything has lost its appeal. Her once-favorite food is now her least favorite food. Haruhi's erg to be the strongest is the only thing keeping her apatite together.
