Shikata Haruka

Personality
Haruka is a fairly quiet, chill, seemingly laid back person. She tends to let a lot of things happen around her or to her and will sometimes join in because 'why not?' even if she doesn't seem to have a particular interest or investment in it. Sometimes even if someone tells her to do something particularly outrageous and she might even agree, possibly with snark, she'll go do it anyway.

Beneath the initial impressions, Haruka actually has an aura of a strong sense of self-confidence and self-reliance. Though she might let a lot of things happen around her, it almost feels like she's just playing along and humoring the situation or person. She has a warped sense of optimism too, the type of person to believe in some goodness in people while also believing they're mostly IDIOTS in how they go about it.

Biography
Haruka was born to Juuri and Ryoki Shikata, and a very supportive immediate and extended family. They moved to Fukui early, where Haruka attended the Fukui Prefectural School for the Blind until around the time she'd be old enough to enter junior high, when her mom got a job offer doing art restoration and miscellaneous work at a university in Kyoto.

Kyoto was Haruka's first introduction to a regular public school and, though there was some adjustments that were needed all around, she seemed to bounce back fine. She's been able to live a mostly average life, even entering a good high school, and seemed like there would be enough opportunities for her post-graduation. Once she passed the Chitoku exam, it seemed to have taken a great weight off for her parents. For Haruka, it's brought mixed feelings but also a cautious optimism about her own future.

Alignment (presumed)
Chaos (slight). Like Taue, Haruka seems to have a need to buck authority and create a path for herself.
