Series/Fandom: Noein
Deviance: Deviance 1
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Canon Used: Anime (only canon)
Appearance: Very thin and standing at a mere 4'10", Haruka does not exactly present an imposing stature. Coming from the present day, she's as normal-looking a girl as anyone in Manhattan is likely to be. Her body is skinny with only the slightest hint of the beginning of curves, her arms and legs nearly twig-thin, her skin fair. She has a round face with big, round eyes of a dark violet color, a tiny nose, and a small but expressive mouth. Her black hair is cut short, with some of it usually pulled into a pigtail or two and secured with ribbons or pushed away from her face with barretts. She wears brightly colored tank tops and shorts, and seems to have little sense of fashion as her outfits often clash. In fact, one might get the impression that Haruka simply throws on whatever's at hand before running out the door.
Psychology: Haruka is, for the most part, a normal, healthy, well-adjusted young girl. She's a particularly cheerful one at that, who makes friends easily and is often the core that keeps them together, usually taking the lead when figuring out things to do together and trying to help with--or more often simply butting into--her friends' problems. Haruka is determined to see the good in almost everyone, to the point that she will trust someone she has just met and barely knows. In her earliest interactions with Karasu, even though he appears quite intimidating if not an out-and-out threat, she helps him by getting him some water when he needs it, helping to cement in his mind that she's a person and not just an object he's pursuing for the gain of his dimension. By treating everyone as though they can be trusted, she often creates good will where there was none before. She also tends to cling to a positive point of view, which can be just as grating as it is helpful. It's hard to upset her, and if misery wants company it's best to look to someone other than Haruka, as she'll tend to respond to misery with optimism and good cheer, and try to get the other person to take a more optimistic outlook of their situation as well. She wants to confront problems head-on and is often blunt and somewhat know-it-all in pointing out what she thinks people should do. She can also be dense and somewhat insensitive, never deliberately, but Haruka only tends to focus on one thing at a time and sometimes simply does not notice when someone else is troubled about something or annoyed with her. She is very caring, however, and once she does see that someone is troubled she'll do what she can to help them.
Haruka is extremely loyal to the people she chooses to be her friends and hates to see any of them hurt in any way. Their pain often becomes her pain; she especially can't bear to see another person hurt for her sake and becomes very distressed when this happens. She has a strong sense of justice, and once she turns away from someone, believing them to be vicious and evil, nothing will get her on their side again. Her first encounter with Noein comes shortly after Noein kills Fukurou, a future and alternate-universe version of Haruka's friend Isami; this event instantly hardens her against him and nothing Noein can do can convince her to feel otherwise. Even after discovering that Noein is yet another alternate version of Haruka's best friend Yuu, she merely comes to see him as pathetic and pitiful, a future she rejects and would do anything to help prevent. She is, however, frequently overly-trusting and generally fairly naive, which often gets her into trouble. Her naivety becomes a point of tension between her and Karasu; she's simply too young to understand the complexity of Karasu's feelings regarding the Haruka he knew in his own dimension (who was his lover) and her, the Haruka of another dimension; it often puzzles her that he rejects physical contact with her.
Other Skills/Abilities: To most people who meet her, Haruka is unremarkable as far as special abilities go--but to the people of La'cryma, a parallel future dimension, she is the Dragon Torque, with the power to affect dimensional changes simply by envisioning the outcome of an event. In other words, she can create a future of her choosing by imagining it, although this creates other dimensions based on the choices she didn't make. She has little control over the ability, however, and it only seems to be present when an ouroboros-shaped torque appears around her neck. In mundane life, Haruka is a good runner, has seemingly endless amounts of energy and endurance, and has a talent for drawing that she inherited from her mother.
Other Weaknesses: Haruka is a skinny twelve-year-old girl with pretty much no physical strength to speak of. She would be very easy to overpower.
History: Haruka led an ordinary, uneventful life in her hometown of Hakodate, Japan, up until the summer before she was to start middle school, when life for her and her friends, particularly her closest friend Yuu, changed dramatically with the invasion of the Dragon Knights, a group of warriors from the world of La'cryma (a dimension parallel to Haruka's own dimension, but fifteen years in the future) who were searching for the Dragon Torque, the power of which could change their own hellish world for the better. One of them was Karasu, who Haruka soon discovered was Yuu fifteen years in the future, though drastically altered from the friend she knew due to the experiences he had gone through, including seeing his own Haruka sacrificed for the good of La'cryma. The Haruka of this dimension recognized Karasu as Yuu and trusted him instinctively, even though he initially tried to capture her to bring her back to La'cryma. Despite this Haruka helped him when he was injured by bringing him water, and shortly thereafter Karasu turned on his fellow soldiers and abandoned La'cryma for Haruka's dimension to protect her against the Dragon Knights.
Sympathetic toward him, Haruka hid Karasu in a storage room next to her bedroom at home and did her best to protect him, despite her friends' initial misgivings, especially that of Yuu, who feared and distrusted his future self. With Karasu's help, not to mention numerous, vicious attacks from the Dragon Knights, she began to discover her powers and attempt to use them to change the outcome of battles, destruction, etc so no one would be hurt. Her interference stopped Karasu and Fukurou, one of the dragon knights who was also a lifelong friend of Karasu's (and a future version of Haruka's own friend Isami), from killing each other in a violent battle, but to her horror, Fukurou was murdered before her eyes by an interdimensional being called Noein, who is determined to merge all dimensions and create a perfect world, Shangri-La--one that is essentially without life--in order to end pain and misfortune.
Noein also nearly murdered Karasu, which left Haruka deeply shaken. Though Noein tried to garner her help and her power as the Dragon Torque to aid him in creating Shangri-La, Haruka, in her grief and fury over Fukurou's death, vowed never to trust or help Noein. Meanwhile, a group of quantum scientists that included Haruka's own father were attempting to perform quantum experiments and open ways to other dimensions, using Hakodate as their base of operations.
Reality Description: Haruka's reality is Hakodate, a small city on a penninsula in Japan in the present day, overlooked by a small mountain, where scientists are on the brink of discovering dimensional possibilities. This is just one of several possible dimensions from which infinite other dimensions branch out; essentially, part of a multiverse. From another such dimension, La'Cryma, a group of warriors called Dragon Knights have invaded Hakodate in search of the Dragon Torque, an object that can decide the outcome of the future, thus essentially controlling time and space. In Hakodate the Dragon Torque has manifested in Haruka. She lives in a big Victorian-style on the mountainside with lovely views of the coast, together with her mother, a free-spirited illustrator of children's stories. Her father, a quantum scientist, has come to Hakodate from Tokyo (he and Haruka's mother are divorced) to reluctantly aid the dimensional experiments. Haruka attends school with her friends Yuu (the closest of her friends, a remarkably angsty young boy who she cares for and trusts deeply), Ai (Haruka's best girlfriend, somewhat of a loud-mouthed tomboy), Miho (who's obsessed with supernatural events), and Isami (the class clown). The Dragon Knights who remain in Hakodate are Karasu, Atori (a formerly homicidal maniac who lost his memory and has now become rather sweet and harmless), and Tobi (Atori's closest companion). Though once they were determined to capture Haruka, they now seem dedicated to protecting her and this dimension, particularly Karasu. Their own world, La'Cryma, is a wasteland that used to be Hakodate--it was ruined when the gates between dimensions were opened and another dimension, Shangri'La, brought war on it. Haruka could presumably travel to La'Cryma from Hakodate if she were capable of controlling her powers to that extent, but probably wouldn't try anyway. Karasu and the other Dragon Knights could only return if they reattached their pipelines (devices that link the knights to La'Cryma through a slender beam of energy like a power cord).
