Hey Loopers! This post has been highly requested by our fans, especially the die-hard Haru stans. I have a lot I wish I could say about her, from her favorite foods to why her hair is pink, but I can only use three facts, and these are the ones I felt were important, in terms of fun, AND their context. I hope you guys enjoy!

Also, just as a reminder, for those who ask "You have the other 3 Seasons, where is Spring?" Haru's name actually means "Spring" in Japanese. I did this for two reasons, one that I will state later, and also because if I named a girl "Spring", she would get made fun of. lmao

• Despite Haru appearing outwardly left-brained, she takes great interest in creativity, and even has a large interest in creative writing. Beyond her own projects, though, she finds even more joy in seeing people close to her unleash their creative side, and loves seeing her friend's passion. Normally, however, it takes a lot for Haru to consider someone "close" to her- unfortunately leaving a lot of praise unmentioned.

• Upon transfer to America, due to special treatment by her father and a reputation spread about her family lineage, Haru was never truly given a chance by other students. Due to rumors that she was stuck up, or that she was only getting such high grades due to her family bribing her teachers, it was not easy for her to gain friends. This did not deter Haru, however, instead teaching her to treasure the friendships she has, and leading her to appreciate those who are genuine, and see past the atmosphere.

• While Haru - due to her position - was actively being taught English before she even was aware of her move to Echo Lake, she took a lot of pride in it, and found fun ways to learn English instead of just learning through courses. Her favorite way of learning English was her watching American cartoons, with her particular favorite being one about a crime fighting group of teenage superheroes, with her favorite character being the cute red haired alien. In hindsight, though, this may have caused a bit more harm than good for Haru's English...

And thats it for this Showcase! Like I said, I have a lot more that I'd like to say; but I would be breaking my own rules if I did more than 3 rules. You will have a lot to learn about her- I have seen many people try to simplify her character to one or two personality traits, but I'm happy to say we may surprise you with her, even if she seems simple from the start.

As for her character, Haru was among the models that popped out to me so hard that I NEEDED to have her in the game. Due to her model previews, it was an obvious choice at first to make her the shy, coy type; however, upon writing her more, it became fun to imagine small jokes for her, and ways to make her subvert her character archetype while keeping the train on the rails. Her date scene is the last scene that I personally have to write for this update, and I have some fun stuff planned, including a small pop in from a character from another game, so keep a look out!

Thanks for reading,
