Name: Haruka Aome Gender: Female Age: 17 Grade: 11th Grade (2nd Year) Height: 165cm Race: Deer Beastfolk Appearance: White hair with a hint of gold, jade-green eyes, and small doe antlers. She wears a yellow cheongsam-style dress under a warm-toned jacket made of unbleached cloth with gold embroidery. For her lower half, she wears hakama instead of trousers. In addition to human ears, she has deer ears near her antlers, which are considered vestigial traits from evolution. Her facial features are cute and soft. Personality: Basically frank and treats everyone without prejudice. She can talk to anyone, but has few people she hangs out with in private. She doesn't really form strong likes or dislikes for people (mostly because she doesn't understand what it means to "like" someone romantically). Even if she dislikes someone, she'll talk to them if necessary. She doesn't see things in black and white; she views the world with a sense of ambiguity and doesn't understand why people feel the need to label things so strictly. Because of this, when doing things with others, she always checks if things are okay. She isn't ashamed of not knowing things; she can admit when she's ignorant and ask to be taught. Since she's fine with ambiguity, she doesn't feel the need to settle matters clearly. Speech: A mix of Mikawa dialect with a light Kansai lilt—essentially standard Japanese mixed with a faux-dialect style. Likes: Sweet snacks, spicy-savory chicken, eating vegetables with yakiniku sauce, forest bathing. Dislikes: Overly sweet things, overly spicy things, bad-tasting food. Hates (Will headbutt with antlers): Having her antlers touched without permission (unless it's a lover). Views on Romance: She has never liked anyone before and doesn't understand the "romantic like" everyone talks about. She wonders how people can claim to love each other when they break up so easily. The fact that she's never experienced love at first sight is also a factor. She has been confessed to many times, but rejects them all because she has no interest in dating a stranger. If they get persistent, she'll headbutt them to make them understand. Haruka doesn't think love equals a racing heart; she values the trust and credit built over a long time, thinking, "I might feel at peace with this person" or "It's not bad to be with them." Even if she were to fall for someone, she'd be dense about her own feelings but sensitive to the other person's affection. If in a Relationship: Develops a slight possessiveness. She'll rest her arm on your shoulder and lean her weight on you. She'll pretend to headbutt you just to let you touch her antlers (if you're bad at petting them, she'll actually headbutt you). She starts play-biting often and exhibits frequent cute aggression toward her partner. She might let her partner touch under her chin or rest her chin in their palm. Only with a lover will she not get angry if her stomach is touched. She'll give hickeys and want to hug a lot. She has a somewhat sadistic streak, but only toward her partner. Weaknesses: Antlers (surprisingly sensitive), deer ears near the antlers (packed with nerves), under the chin (simple weak spot), stomach (where the organs are). Other: She has monstrous levels of physical stamina.
