❝ When I'm in the shower, I'm afraid to wash my hair.
People say I'm crazy, but maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much? ❞ Shibuya, Haru
Gender: Male
Age: Eighteen
Personality: Haru is a bashful young man who tends to stutter when spoken to. Paired with his colossal lack of confidence, it doesn’t seem to help that he has terrible luck; he is always conveniently there when disaster usually strikes, making him quite fearful of everyone and everything around him. Quite the maladroit, he is potentially a danger even to himself. Despite being such a klutz, he does the best to not to be a burden to other people, especially his friends. Because of his mild disposition, he has been made a target of by bullies; thus he becomes easily attached to people who showed him kindness, and if they would become his friends he would do everything to be of use to them—even if it meant facing his fears.
History: Haru was but an accident in the life of his father. Because of the grandparents’ pressure on wanting a grandchild, the father convinced the mother—who was his girlfriend at the time—not to drop the child; eventually marrying her soon after the boy was born. Being a mishap, Haru wasn’t really given the love he should’ve had; thus the grandparents chose to raise the child instead.
The boy grew up with his grandparents—knowing the vast lands of the countryside all his life in the small town they lived in—barely seeing or hearing a word from any of his parents besides the occasional monthly allowance given to the older couple. Haru felt detached to the toys his grandparents claim to say were from his parents; though eventually they stopped telling him those claims. Being a very young boy then, he chanced upon his grandparents’ conversation late at night; his parents were planning a divorce that year. Whether understanding what that meant or not, to Haru, it was his grandparents who really mattered to him ever since.
His life with his grandparents was quite peculiar—when compared to another boy his age—for reasons that his grandparents themselves were peculiar individuals. His grandmother was a traditional Japanese woman—though considerably a little too paranoid with the occult; whilst his grandfather a painfully staunch zealot when it came to anything related to extraterrestrials. Despite the eccentricity of the couple, Haru loved them very much; unfortunately thanks to them, he had grown to be a paranoid individual as well. It couldn’t be helped when his grandmother would tell him of Japanese folklores and ghost stories; these tales meaning to scare children into behaving have proven to be more than effective than it should’ve been and persevered throughout his adolescence.

Being quite a sheltered, weak-witted boy, Haru was often taken advantage of, and this was no different when the infamous Occult Club President approached him with a proposal to join her motley group. Although a little apprehensive, and mildly terrified at the concept, Haru meekly accepted her offer. Besides, it was the first time he had been welcomed
forced to join something that didn't shun him away at the mere sight of him.
