I'm just a girl. What do I know about battling anyway? —**Runo** being sarcastic to Tatsuya, *Runo Rules*

**Runo Misaki** (美咲 琉乃 (ルノ), *Misaki Runo*?) is one of the characters in the Mega Man Grey Series. Runo is the Haos brawler of the Battle Brawlers, partnered with Haos Blade Tigrerra.

While she appears in subsequent seasons, her importance to the story is greatly reduced, as she is now the group's minor Haos brawler.

## Appearance

Runo's outfit in Grey 1 is a yellow midriff shirt and a white skirt with a pink belt. She has maroon fingerless wrist gloves. She also has orange and white striped knee socks and brown shoes. Her hair is tied in two long pigtails.

In Grey 2, Runo's outfit is a yellow shirt dress, a cyan t-swell seeker paddle bodysuit, white dress with pink designs and Orange longer socks.

In Grey 3, Runo's outfit is yellow t-shirt, pink jacket, yellow skirt and Long brown boots.

In Grey 4 and 5, Runo wears a white shirt, a blue waistcoat, a red tie and khaki shorts.

## Personality

Runo is very focused, not your typical pre-teen girl. She loves playing Bakugan with her friends. Runo is always arguing with her friend Grey. She has a close bond with her Guardian Bakugan, Haos Tigrerra, who is very obedient to her and powerful in battle. One of the things she hates the most is when people believe they're better at brawling than her, just because she is a girl. She loses a lot of her Bakugan to the Doom Dimension, to a point where she almost quit the game, but she then decided not to.

Runo is arguably the most headstrong heroine throughout the four series of Mega Man Grey, as she always wants to have her own way in everything, wants attention from people, and often attacks head-on before carefully judging the situation. She is also very proud and is eager to go her own way.

Despite having certain, undeniable flaws, Runo is shown to be a caring, kind and cute girl who always tries her very best in everything and never slow to help her friends. As time passes between the seasons, she seems to have grown more mature.

## Mega Man Grey

Runo helps her parents run their family business, and when Alice Gehabich comes to visit, she helps Runo's family with their restaurant, which leads to Runo becoming jealous as boys came just to see her. But after she comes home from the Doom Dimension a group of boys are happy to see her. She has a severe crush on Grey Cossack, but she won't admit her love for him. Still, when Dan is acting inappropriately, Runo does not hesitate to get annoyed. She reached 6th in the rankings.

When she arrives at the Doom Dimension and is being tested by Lars Lion she uses a younger, Illusionary Dan to brawl with Runo. It took Runo a while to realize that it was Dan and since this was the first kid Runo met when she moved here but she never found out his name. It is shown she is not good at batting in baseball, but is a very good thrower, making younger Dan's hand hurt when she threw it at him. She learned through this that she needed to listen to her friends more and not to be so stubborn, which made Tigrerra evolve into Blade Tigrerra and defeat Lars Lion and Younger Dan. At the moment, Runo was with Apollonir when he challenged Drago for his test he was found by Grey when he pushed her down and took of her mask,She had used two Mock Dragonoids for that battle. At the moment, Runo, ranked sixth, battled Grey to help further power. Shun was originally going to battle him before but Tigrerra wanted to brawl Grey first, to which everyone was okay with.

When the Brawlers were in Vestroia, Runo, Dan, and Julie were challenged to a race to the gate to the next world by stayed behind in the race to slow down the hybrids so Dan could win the race since Grey was the strongest Mega Man they had. She and Tigrerra were then able to defeat Rabeeder by using **Velocity Fang**.

Runo and Tigrerra join the battle against Naga and help Grey defeat him.

In the finale of the first season, she goes on a date with Grey.

## Mega Man Grey 2

In *Invasion of the Vestals*, she sees Drago, but is left behind along with Julie when Drago tricks them into turning around while he and Dan and Grey went to New Vestroia. Runo gets angrier and angrier by the day as Dan and Grey never returns. So in episode 10, "Surprise Visitor," she blows it and heads over to Moscow with Julie to meet up with Alice and go through the gate to New Vestroia. Although she did so, the process was incomplete, sending Runo to New Vestroia, but leaving her without a physical body.

This causes a great trouble to the Resistance, as they, although still willingly, had to help her and due to this, was separated as Grey and Dan, Mira, and Baron had to go to Earth, and Shun, Marucho, and Ace stayed behind in New Vestroia. This one action of her has caused the Brawlers to have lots of difficulties in taking Beta City where they're supposed to win quite easily.

When Grey, Dan, Runo, Baron, and Mira go through the portal to Earth, Spectra, Gus, and Lync follow them. Spectra proceeds to kidnap Runo, only to give her back to Dan, having kidnapped her to make Dan follow him. After Dan and the other's learn the Dimensional Transporter needed to be fixed, Runo and Julie accompanied Dan, Mira, and Baron to back to their home. During the time Grey was back he and Runo showed how much they matured from the last series as they didn't fight that much but when they did they would end up laughing in the end. She gets ready to go back to New Vestroia with Grey in episode 19, but then has to stay on Earth as she needed a Gauntlet in order to go through Dr. Michael's dimensional transporter. She gets really upset by this but Dan promises he'll be back. At the end of arc 1 she got Blade Tigrerra back. When the Resistance became stranded on Earth, Baron once teased her about her baby pictures all over her parent's restaurant, however, she gets even by dragging Baron by the ear and stuffing him in the trash.

In *Six Degrees of Destruction*, Mira returns and gives Runo, Julie, and Alice Gauntlets.

In *Earth Invaders*, after she mishears Grey and thinks he insulted her brawling skills, Runo goes off on her own looking for the Vexos. Mira follows her to get her to come back but they are soon discovered and battle against Mylene and Lync. Runo was able to defeat Lync, but her and Mira were soon defeated by Mylene, having Magma Wilda lose the Subterra energy. After the Resistance were thinking of how to get to Mother Palace to defeat the Vexos Runo comes to Dan to let him know that dinner is ready right when Spectra transported Dan and Grey to his ship. After Grey defeated Spectra he transported the Resistance members who have or had an attribute energy to come with him. This left Runo angry as she wanted to help out, but prayed that Dan would be careful.

In *All for One*, Tigrerra told the Resistance that she decided to quit brawling, for it is putting Runo and Julie in danger. So they will only brawl if it is really necessary. Even though Runo wanted to go.
