Yoshihara Arata

Haruka Mokichi, ( 遥花 茂吉 *Mokichi Haruka*) also known as Yoshihara Arata is a NPC made by Gamesee. Please ask permission before using them in roleplays, although fanfictions are fine.

Song playing is Precipitation .

## Personality

Arata is surprisingly awkward for someone who is supposed to be training to be a leader. They are terrible at talking like a "normal person" and usually say things wrong. In addition although they are loyal and can keep a secret, they are terrible at lying. Because of this they avoid talking at Hatsuharu since it is very hard for them in general.

Arata is good at, however, investigating. They are very perspective and can especially pick up clues about someone's species better than most. They, like implied above, are bad at communicating what they find however and often end up ignored.

## Appearance

Arata looks somewhat "normal" on anime standards. They have shoulder length blond hair that is occasionally kept up in a ponytail, and it gets very messy in the mornings. Their eyes are wide and blue, and their features are generally normal sized and round. They have freckles as well, which they say are "stars on their face" since, well, Joy never told them what freckles were.

Their skin is surprisingly pale for the amount of time they spend outdoors, but it might be because they wear a lot of hoodies. They could be considered normal height or short, depending on who you are, standing at 5'4 (162.56 cm.) Their weight is also generally normal, weighing about 113 lbs (51.25 kgs.)
