Aftermath Show host, and faer status as the daughter of Inari Sakura, the current Sakura Oligarch.

Fae started this when faer was 11, and has been on the internet ever since.

## **Relationships**

### **Kaari Sakura**

Haru is the identical twin sister of Kaari Sakura. The two are both very publicly involved and have done features on each others musical works, but on Haru's private account, fae's noted that fae "pities" Kaari quite a lot. It seems like a lot of their relationship is just for show, people who've met them at conventions have noted that Kaari and Haru have a tendency to bicker and that Haru often will completely ignore Kaari. Backstage, the twins barely interact at all. Haru faeself has, in response to questioning, explained that they are very different people and really don't get along well.

### **Minori Makino**

Haru and Minori Makino are both promient journalists in Saiba-Japan and have been known to reference and appreciate each other's work. They don't hang out much, but they interact frequently over social media.

### **Kaida Miyasato**

Notably the winner of KIRAKIRA! Season 1, Kaida Miyasato's personality is a reflection of Haru's own. Both women are reputably very ditzy, sarcastic, self-obsessed, and gossip prone, but also extremely intelligent. Haru gushed over faer love for Kaida during her KiraKira! season, and had rooted for her to win the entire time. Since then, the two seem to be best friends, posting on each others' social media frequently and hanging out often.

### **Kana Rea**

One of Haru's more unlikely friends is an extremely popular R&B music artist, Kana Rea. The Arianna Grande of Saiba-Japan, Kana's popularity is one of the few that rival Haru's own, and Haru seems happy for the friendly competition. They've, as Haru said, "hung out over boba" several times to talk about their respective careers and social lives.

### **Koroshi-Chan**

Haru and Koroshi-Chan's relationship is extremely mysterious. When interacting on-screen, Koroshi has always acted as if its a close friend of both Haru and Kaari's. Both twins have separately confirmed that they've known Koroshi for years, but neither will disclose the nature of their friendship. On faer private twitter, Haru admitted that Koroshi is one of faer "few friends nowadays," and that fae keeps in touch with him almost the most out of anyone fae knows.

### **Toru Hayato**

In SCENE 0, Haru and Toru Hayato seem to be in an open argument, where Toru tells Haru to "go to hell." Not much has been confirmed about their relationship, but Ace has said that they're on "opposing sides" of the lore background of KiraKira!.

### **Axel Hachimitsu**

Haru doesn't particularly like Axel Hachimitsu, but the two have worked together in the past as colleagues and follow each other on social media. The two have decently similar personalities but vastly different motivations, and while they were friends when they first met, they quickly drifted apart due to these differences.
