Entrance Music:


Personality: Haruka is fairly light-hearted and relaxed most of the time, rarely seen without at least a subtle smile on her face. She is pretty quiet outside of the ring, rarely starting conversations with others but is perfectly happy to talk when someone else approaches her, her calm and friendly attitude almost contagious and makes it difficult for the average person to hate her without an excuse.

In the ring, she is more confident in appearance and attitude, being quite persistent and aggressive when she wants to win. She is difficult to demoralize, even in situations where she really cannot win, but can be quickly made to tap out to most submission holds, having a rather poor resistance to pain. She will hold a grudge against opponents who deliberately humiliate or make fun of her, however, and will do what she can to get back at them in some way.

History: Haruka has a very un-interesting past. She was born in Osaka, Japan to a pair of rather average middle-class parents. She did slightly below average in school from start to finish, not excelling in any subject but not being entirely hopeless either. Her calm and open personality made her quite a few friends, but rarely taking anything very seriously prompted her grades to suffer compared to the rest of her class. When she finished school, she spent nearly two years trying to find a job, living with her parents and doing various part-time jobs to help with the rent and bills. At 18, she did manage to get a job, working as a maid for a wealthy businessman's family, requiring her to clean up around their house and help out when needed, but also act as a waitress for the family's cafe. It paid surprisingly well, and Haruka got along nicely with her employers, making her quite excited for work each day.

A few months into her new job, a representative from AFW began to frequently come into the cafe, coincidentally on the hunt for new talent. Haruka had only a passing interest in wrestling, never quite paying attention when it was being broadcast on TV, but still finding herself fascinated at times. The representative took a strange interest in the teen, being the only waitress in a pretty quiet cafe and wearing a pretty strange outfit for such a job. Seeing no harm in it, Haruka was offered a contract to wrestle at AFW for a decent amount of money. She was hesitant to accept at first, having never really been into sports, but was convinced by her parents after a short talk. She took the contract, spent a year training, and now she wrestles for AFW, though still works as a maid most of the week.

Fun Facts:
-) Haruka owns a pet turtle. It doesnt really do much, just eats food and stares at people.
-) She has a rogue hair on her head that seems to always stand up away from the rest no matter what she does to keep it down.
-) Haruka is bisexual, having had both boyfriends and girlfriends during her years at school.

Wrestling Information

Style: She fights with speed over strength, moving around quickly and trying to make it hard for her opponent to land hits. She has a strange passion for high-flying, often throwing herself from the top ropes for hard-hitting takedowns and finishers, a very risky but very rewarding style of fighting. It can come off as a surprise to some when this typically quiet girl turns out to be highly aggressive in the ring, but she isn't much to talk about when it comes to strength, preferring to avoid direct struggles with opponents as she is quickly overwhelmed.
Common Attacks: Haruka enjoys being highly aggressive, pushing up close to her opponents when she can to throw out a barrage of quick punches, kicks and knees. She also likes being off her feet, throwing out hard dropkicks and flying knees if she feels she has an opening.
Preferred Matches: Standard 1v1 matches are her preference, 2v1 handicap matches aren't quite as appealing, but she wont refuse even if she's up against two opponents at once. Haruka definitely dislikes hardcore matches, and it takes some heavy convincing to get her to agree to one. She feels she might enjoy some types of hentai match, but the idea of being publically humiliated if she loses turns her away from asking.

Finishing Moves:
Tilt-a-Whirl DDT
Haruka dashes at an opponent, grabbing their shoulder and swinging her legs up around their head. From there, she performs a pretty spectacular 360 degree rotation around her opponent's body before hooking an arm around their head and dropping her weight down towards the canvas. If all goes to plan, this results in the victim crashing head-first into the canvas at quite some speed, a very devastating attack.

Spoiler:

Armbar hold
An incredibly simple, but no less effective hold. Haruka grabs hold of a downed opponent's arm, wrapping her legs around their torso and begins to twist and pull at the trapped limb. The hold is very painful and very easy to apply, but more skilled opponents will find it equally easy to break free, or even reverse it and lock her into some other hold.

Spoiler:

Signature Move:
Cartwheel Powerbomb
Easiest against an opponent that is bending forwards, but can be performed against someone standing. Haruka rushes forwards towards her victim, performing a cartwheel once close enough and hooking her hands under both thighs halfway into the move. More often than not, this is enough to flip the opponent over onto their back, where Haruka typically applies a tight small package or matchbook pin.

Stats
Strength: 3/10 - Quite below average, there aren't many opponents that will struggle to overpower Haruka. She can lift and throw the average girl, but will struggle to pull the same moves off against anyone much bigger than she is.
Stamina: 8/10 - Auka's instructor may have gone entirely overboard with stamina training, pushing her lung capacity further and further every session to the point she can fight at a fast pace for significant periods of time.
Endurance: 3/10 - Working as a maid and rarely performing heavy physical activity means Haruka is very sensitive to pain, tapping out to submission holds quicker than most unless she has an incentive to keep fighting.
Speed: 9/10 - She can move and react to things at impressive speed, presenting a challenge for opponents to catch her with most simple attacks, often requiring them to wait for an opening or mistake lest they take a hit in exchange.
Technique: 5/10 - With less than a year to train, Haruka doesn't have the best fighting technique, skilled opponents will catch on quickly and see plenty of exploitable flaws in both her offense and defence.
Flexibility: 10/10 - Haruka is extraordinarily bendy, able to shift her limbs and body into positions that would be pretty uncomfortable to most. While this lets her apply some holds quite well, it works both ways, letting opponents contort her into horribly difficult and painful positions from which there may be no escape.

Strikes: 7/10 - Her punches and kicks are delivered quite nicely, with speed and power that would be expected from someone with more experience than her.
Submissions: 4/10 - Her sub-par physical strength makes it hard to keep people trapped, presenting a flaw that stronger opponents will be able to abuse to flip the odds against her.
Aerials: 9/10 - There isnt much room for Haruka to improve her aerial ability, as they are close to perfectly executed as is. She found great enjoyment during her training to be flying around throwing her entire body against an opponent, and seems to have spent a lot of time improving them.
Blocking: 5/10 - Haruka's instructor showed her the basics and helped her to improve, resulting in a fairly solid defense, albeit with several flaws.
Dodging: 8/10 - Her quick reactions and fast move speed does wonders for her ability to dodge attacks, improved further by the months she spent training.

Overall Rating: 70/100 - Haruka is surprisingly good at fighting, but still has a long way to go before she can be considered high-tier.

Ring Attire:
Haruka wears a skin-tight and fairly thin dark blue one-piece turtleneck leotard with some white markings across the collar, chest, and stomach. She wears this along with a set of matching deep blue knee & elbow pads, white knee-high wrestling boots with blue laces, and yellow thigh-high socks. Its all pretty nice to look at, and suits her slim and small frame very well, hugging at her figure tightly.
