<> Self <>
Personality: Initially, Haruka can come off as quite blunt and uncaring. However this is mostly due to the fact that she has little to no social experience whatsoever. In most social situations with other people, she simply has no idea what to do and will usually speak her mind. This does not, however, mean that she doesn't care for other people. She does enjoy the company of others and would rather at least have one person around than be alone.
Due to her upbringing Haruka also has a very strong sense of honor. As an example, if ever she is put with a situation where she would have to decide between staining her honor and living easily or putting her life in danger and retaining her reputation, she would, without a second thought, put her life on the line. Even if it would violate common sense, she would put honor first.
Haruka also has a bad habit of repressing any negative feelings she has. As a result she tends to have many things bottled up inside her at a time. She never really addresses any issues immediately and leaves them all in a dark corner in her mind which can end very badly if it builds up. Should all that ever flow over the edge, she may end up suffering a meltdown once more, showing a form of herself that almost nobody has seen. In this state she is more or less an entirely different person and is an emotional mess. She will recover eventually if such happens, though it would leave some clear wounds on her mind.

Samurai Name: Sasaki Kojiro
Clan: None
History: Sasaki Kojiro, often anglicised to Kojiro Sasaki, was a prominent Japanese swordsman widely considered a master of his craft, born in Fukui Prefecture. He lived during the Sengoku and early Edo periods and is most remembered for his death while battling Miyamoto Musashi in 1612. He went by the fighting name of Ganryu, which was also the name of the kenjutsu school he had founded. It is said that Kojiro studied the Chujo-ryu of sword fighting from either Kanemaki Jisai or Toda Seigen. Toda Seigen was a master of the kodachi. Due to his master's use of the kodachi, Kojiro used a nodachi, or a long katana, against him, therefore eventually excelling in its use. It was after defeating his master's younger brother that he left and founded the Ganryo. The first reliable account of his life states that in 1610, because of the fame of his school and his many successful duels, including once when he fended off three opponents with a tessen, Kojiro was honored by Lord Hosokawa Tadaoki as the chief weapons master of the Hosokawa fief north of Kyushu. Sasaki later became skilled in wielding a nodachi, and used one he called "Monohoshizao" as his main weapon.
Sacred Item: Scabbard of Monohoshizao.
Activate Ability 1:
Parry: Haruka instantly moves her weapon to parry an oncoming strike. She can use this at any time and will cancel any other action that is currently being performed by Haruka. Has a cooldown of one post.
Activate Ability 2:
Arc Slash: Haruka's Oodachi grows about 30 cm in length as she slashes at the enemy with more force than usual. This slash has more reach and power than her regular attacks. Has a cooldown of 3 posts.
Activate Ability 3:
Swallow Cut: Haruka quickly slashes at the enemy and in less than a second, slashes once again in succession from a very different angle. As a result, if the enemy was in reach, it would prove difficult for them to block both strikes or dodge it. Has a cooldown of 5 posts.
Passive 1:
Awareness: While her blade is drawn, Haruka can feel the presence of any hostile entities in a 10 feet radius.
Passive 2:
Blade Prowess: This ability allows Haruka to use her Oodachi as if it were much smaller, allowing her to use it in a much more agile manner than usual.
Overburst Color: Pale Sky Blue
Overburst Attack:
Tsubame Gaeshi: The full form of the Swallow Cut, Haruka slashes at the enemy three times in succession, each time from a different angle, towards an enemy's vital spots within a few milliseconds. The blinding speed that the attack is executed in makes it nigh impossible for the attack to be dodged or blocked.

Support:
- Tokio Morukata: Haruka's father. He is a stern man who wishes for his family's legacy to continue, though he does still care for his daughter, even if he doesn't show it.
History:
As per their tradition, the son of the Morukata family was to be chosen to be an honorable warrior in the military. However, the family hit a speedbump during Haruka's birth. Her mother had died giving birth to her, throwing her father into grief. He couldn't bring himself to marry another woman afterwards, causing Haruka to remain an only child. However he did not want to let his legacy die and he felt that it could not happen if Haruka was left to live a normal life. So, he started to make Haruka live the life of the 'son' he never had.
To make sure this would happen without interference, he decided to raise her in isolation, home schooling her and not letting her leave their home. Along with the regular kinds of education she was also trained in Battojutsu, making her a skilled fighter as well. In terms of education and fighting skill, she was alright and would have a regular life.
But things were not that easy. Due to this isolation, Haruka began to question why she was not to interact with anyone else. She had seen many times, people were together, they all had friends and played together. She always used to wonder why she could never be allowed to have friends and such. This always made her sad but she always repressed it.
Eventually though, when she was 17, she had gone through a meltdown caused by having repressed too many of such emotions. All of the pain of being alone had been relayed to her father through tears and sorrow. Only after this, did he realize how wrong his method of upbringing was. To make amends and to let her live her life at least somewhat normally by this point, he had decided to enroll her into Bugei Academy, knowing that it's a prestigious school and could be trusted with the final stages of Haruka's education while still ensuring a place for her in the military.
