Canon Character and Series: Haruhi Suzumiya / The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
In-Game Name: HARUHI THE MOST AMAZING PIRATE/ACTRESS EVER

That is to say, her name is still Haruhi Suzumiya
Age: 16
Gender: female
Position & Ship: Winding Way as Kurt’s perfect daughter~ / general seaman AKA AWESUM ACTRICE

Appearance: Haruhi is a very pretty girl, with brown her and nearly golden eyes. She’s always had a romantic view of pirates and airships, so she does her best to make sure her attire fits in with those ideals. Her daily attire usually consists of a pair of fitting pants, a corset-like top with flared sleeves, a variety of belts and her boots. The only piece of clothing that does not fit the mold is her yellow headband, with its two yellow ribbons attached to the side. She continues to where it as a bit of nostalgia, unable to completely let go of her past.

The real reason she likes to participate in the performances more than the raids is because of the costumes. Haruhi adores dressing up (as well as dressing up others) from elegant dresses to jester costumes. Plays provide a good venue for that.

Personality: Haruhi usually possesses a wicked grin, a not-so-subtle hint that she has some kind of trick up her sleeve. She loves to play pranks on her fellow crewmates-perfectly harmless pranks, of course! She’s not trying to be mean; she’s just trying to fill the Winding Way with fun! (As if it needed any more.)

Kept occupied, Haruhi is usually a happy teenage girl. However, she hates being bored for any extended period of time, at which point in time she will probably enlist some member of the crew to join her in some grand adventure. That was why she joined the Winding Way crew, after all.

She also possesses a fairly short temper. At that point, she is usually fairly hard to calm down (unless told to do so by a person she respects). She’s hard headed, and will stick to her ideals no matter what.

However, there is one side of Haruhi that is rarely shown, though it may be the driving factor in her life. Sometimes she feels as if she isn’t doing enough with her life, and that the memory of her life will fade away when she dies. She tries not to let this get to her, preferring to drag someone along with her on some adventure to solidify her place in this world.

Abilities/Weapons: Haruhi has a flair for acting, which can come in handy off stage as well. If she keeps a clear head, she should be able to use her acting skills in other situations.

Currently she does not have many combat skills or experience. However, she is quite athletic and has a talent for learning various skills quickly (as long as the skill interests her).

Haruhi also possesses a strong will, holding fast to her convictions. In many cases she can sway people into follow her just by sheer willpower. Not always, but she can be rather intimidating to some people.

Weaknesses: While she may be able to use her acting offstage, it’s more likely that her emotions will take control of the situation as she is governed heavily by them.

She doesn’t have any practical combat experience, which may be bad if she finds herself in a tight spot. She keeps on meaning to ask her fellow crewmates for some training, but she never quite gets around to it.

She can also be too overconfident at times and can be unlikable to some for that fact.

History: Haruhi was born in the modest town of Trewe. Growing up she was wholly content. She had a pleasant family, good friends, and a nice school. Life was good. Through she knew something of the town’s purpose as a trading post, she was not interested much in the surrounding areas. She was content to stay within her own little world.

Until she found a book.

It was a book recounting the old myths, about a world that used to exist before the new world rose from its grave.

Haruhi became aware for the first time of a world that existed beyond her town. Her world had been built from the old world. What had happened to them? Had they died, all those people? The book of myths was not enough to answer that question and Haruhi could find little information elsewhere.

If they had all died, then no one now remembered them.

The young Haruhi fell into a sudden melancholy. Her previous passions no longer interested her. Her friends and family became normal in her eyes. Her world became that of the mundane and simplistic.

She took to a new hobby. Trekking across map upon map with her finger, she traced the path of civilization. Reial’s population was constantly expanding even as more and more people died. Unremembered. Forgotten. She would become one of those people.

She didn’t want to become one of those people!

As the years began to pass, air travel swiftly grew within the city and with it so did Haruhi’s desire to leave. She wanted to search for epic adventures and strange occurrences. She wanted to become someone. She wanted to be remembered for something.

So, upon turning sixteen, considering herself to be more than grown-up, she hopped a ride aboard an airship and hasn’t returned home since. Very quickly she found herself drawn to a certain ship, The Winding Way, recognizing it immediately as having the potential for great adventure (owing in part to its eccentric captain). It has lived up to her expectations so far, and Haruhi has remained there ever since.
