## History

### Early Life

Harumi was born in New York City, in 25th March, 2001. She is the only daughter of William Scott and Kayla Scott. A few days after her birth, her mother got really sick and died two weaks after. Her entire family died in the 9/11 attacks and she was left with no one except her father. William Scott tried to give Harumi an happy life, but things got complicated and Harumi ended up in a orphan shelter center when she was only 4 years old.

In the orphanage, Harumi was known for being aggressive and vengeful. She was a spirited girl who played pranks and sometimes hurt her fellow residents and even the staff members. Because of this behavior, her peers gave her the nickname "Dark Skull." After a few chaotic months, Harumi was transferred to an orphanage for older children. Initially, she felt shy and nervous, being a 4-year-old girl among 8-year-old boys. However, as the years passed, she grew accustomed to being with the older boys and became one of them.

### School Years

Harumi completed her elementary and middle school education in the orphanage. She never particularly enjoyed school, but she was intelligent and had an above-average IQ. Harumi also excelled in physical education due to her great physical strength and combat skills from a young age.

In 2016, she enrolled at Grover Cleveland High School, the same high school attended by the Brotherhood. She faced bullying in the first few days because she was perceived as different and unconventional. Tired of the mistreatment, Harumi displayed aggression and violence, resulting in multiple detentions and drawing the attention of the Anger Gang, a rebellious school group led by Josh Anger.

During one detention, Josh approached her, suggesting that she was a valuable addition to their gang. He offered to protect her from bullies if she joined and helped them take down the Brotherhood, Josh's rivals. The Brotherhood was composed of Apuh Wilson, Louis Jota, and Dlet Garcia. Apuh was the charismatic and arrogant class leader, while Louis, known as Lggj, was their primary rival, a rebellious and chaotic individual who had a long-standing feud with Josh's gang. Dlet was a loyal supporter of both Apuh and Lggj.

After becoming friends with Josh Anger, Harumi contemplated how to make life difficult for the Brotherhood. In the following days, she played pranks on teachers, mainly to irritate Apuh, who was the class leader.

#### Romance with Apuh

One day, Josh gave her a mission: incriminate Lggj by placing false evidence in his locker. The plan was straightforward; Josh had stolen a smartwatch from a girl in another class, and Harumi was to leave it in Lggj's locker. It was another way to torment the Brotherhood and serve as an "aptitude test" for Harumi to officially join the Anger Gang.

While closing Lggj's locker, Harumi encountered Apuh, who had just finished a meeting with other class leaders. Apuh noticed her and struck up a conversation. Despite everything, Apuh showed empathy, understanding the challenges of being an orphan. He believed that Josh was only taking advantage of her and offered to help her with her problems. Initially, Harumi was apathetic, but she soon realized that Apuh genuinely wanted to assist her and accepted his friendship.

   As time passed, Harumi and Apuh's friendship deepened, making Lggj and Dlet increasingly suspicious. On the other hand, Josh became angry, accusing Harumi of betrayal and expelling her from the Anger Gang. Their friendship was marked by long conversations after school, where they shared their life stories and dreams. Apuh's charisma, paired with Harumi's wit, created a unique bond. In Apuh, Harumi found not just a protector but a confidant, someone who understood her tumultuous past and the challenges she faced growing up in the orphanage. However, it wasn't just their shared interests that drew them closer. It was the moments of vulnerability they shared, the late-night phone calls where they talked about their fears and hopes, and the reassuring presence they provided each other.

One chilly autumn afternoon, as they sat together under a tree in the schoolyard, Apuh gently touched Harumi's hand. His eyes met hers, and in that unspoken moment, they both realized that their feelings had deepened beyond friendship. The air was filled with an undeniable tension, a magnetic pull that neither of them could resist. Their first kiss, a timid and nervous exchange of affection, sealed the beginning of their romance. It was a secret they kept from the world, fearing the reactions of their respective circles.

#### The tragic breakup

**Harumi**: "*Ah, Apuh, do you remember those days? The innocent love we once shared, our hearts entwined like vines in a secret garden. We were just teenagers, filled with dreams of a future together.*"
**Apuh**: "*What are you talking about, Harumi?*"
**Harumi**: "*Don't pretend you've forgotten, my dear Apuh. We were in love, until your so-called "best friend" Lggj intervened. He didn't trust me, didn't want us to be happy. He tore us apart.*"
