Background
Haruko was born in Osaka, Japan.  Her mother was a professional wrestler and her father was a martial arts master and instructor.  They were always working, so she didn’t really get to spend much time with them, especially since one was always on the road and the other always came home really late. Even taking part in the martial arts classes didn’t really keep Haruko close to her father.

As a result, Haruko was a bit of an introvert.  She withdrew into her fantasies and video games instead of hanging out with friends.  She developed unhealthy habits and imaginary friends, and never truly broke out of them even as she entered the more judgmental phase of life that was high school.  It didn’t mean she didn’t crave attention, though, and one day took up cosplaying just as a way to relate to other enthusiastic gamers.  Over time, the insecure girl began stepping up her cosplaying routine, ultimately enjoying the whole concept of pretending to be someone else.  She saw it as an escape from her normal, boring existence.

At college, the dreamer struggled to find something that interested her more than her little transformations.  They were fun and a welcome distraction, but didn’t pay the bills.  Destiny rolled her way when her mother tore her ACL and had to retire from the world of professional wrestling.  Almost overnight, Haruko began training under her mother’s tutelage.  Her history with martial arts helped her develop into a well-balanced fighter.  And more importantly, the world of professional wrestling was one where people were not only allowed, but encouraged to be absolutely over the top both in appearance and character.  Finally, Haruko found somewhere she could be herself…while ironically as someone else.

Personality
Haruko is a bit unstable while in costume.  Normally, she’s relatively insecure and avoids gatherings and social places.  However, when dressed up as someone else (especially her favorite Mileena), she can become a completely different person.  She completely immerses herself with the personality of whoever she becomes and reasons with herself that it’s completely normal.  Because of this, she doesn’t have many actual friends.

Wrestling Attire

Spoiler:

Wrestling Style: Balanced Offense, Dirty Tricks
Signature Moves:
Let us Dance! – Haruko gets a running start and leaps up, doing a handstand on her opponent’s shoulders acrobatically.  She then either swings down in front, grabbing their head in a face buster, or in back with a neckbreaker.
Femme Fatale – Haruko lifts her opponent to the top rope of the corner and stands behind them.  She bends their head back and plants a long kiss on them, before getting onto her opponent’s shoulders, spinning around, scissoring their head tightly and flipping backwards with them so their head crashes into the mat first.

Finishing Moves:
Be Mine! – While standing behind her opponent, Haruko yanks back on their head and kisses them vigorously.  Then, she jumps up, puts her knees into her opponent’s back, and drops backwards to the mat while holding onto their neck.
Tasty Treat (Illegal) – Haruko bites hard down on her opponent between their shoulder and neck, then follows it up with a Back Stabber.
