Name: Haru Imamura
Age: 22
Personality: Haru is a soft-spoken and introverted individual. She dares not to step out what is expected out of her, even when she is given freedom to choose what she would like to do. This persists into her beginning years into adulthood, even as she began living on her own. With very little knowledge to work off of, she constantly berates herself from making the littlest of mistakes and/or not doing enough work. These features make her a completely incompetent mage in practice, and this only makes her work towards the impossible when she herself does not have the proper fundamentals to even pursue this goal. Thus, she has a terrible bad habit of setting herself up for failure, simply by aiming for these goals under others' unrealistic conditions.
Abilities: Despite her background and overall nature, Haru possesses the Sekiguchi family's Magic Crest on her back as well as mediocre Magic Circuits. Going from her aunt's guidance on a "good luck charm," Haru knows a basic healing spell under the guise of a good luck mantra, which she secretly uses when working as a nurse. Regardless if she does so or not, Haru is periodically plagued by migraines. Everything else that's considered the bare basics of performing magecraft, Haru does not know at all. Her elemental affinity happens to be water.
History: Born as Haruka Sekiguchi, she experienced an extremely short childhood that was neither mundane nor Magus-related. As the only child of the wilting mage family, Haruka was forced to have the family's Magic Crest transplanted into her fully in one sitting due to her father's declining health with no improvement in sight. While there could be time to transplant the Magic Crest in increments, Haruka's mother feared that their bloodline would die out otherwise. This decision resulted with Haruka falling ill almost immediately upon receiving the Magic Crest. A successful inheritance with a dire cost, and only at the age of 5. Even with stricken by severe migraines which weakened her to the point of almost being bedridden, her mother would constantly hammer in magecraft teachings with no consideration to the child heir who couldn't keep up and remember it all. These events continued up until her father's natural death.
Months after her father's death, 9-year-old Haruka found herself under a new household's roof which belonged to her aunt. Fearing that she was missing her mother's lectures, Haruka asks about why she was here. Her aunt only answers that it is only better that she lived with her. From there, her aunt would treat her just like any other normal child, trying to uplift the child's spirits after magecraft took away what was Haruka's early childhood innocence. Despite Haruka's improved quality of life, she continues to ask when she can go back home, yet her aunt couldn't bring herself to tell the truth until she was older.
Six years later, her aunt would find Haruka nursing a stray cat in their neighborhood back to health. The young teen stroking the feline animal's back in a soothing manner while humming a basic tune appeared to actually remedy the evident bruises on said animal. Her aunt would quickly usher them both inside. First she praises Haruka for taking care of a hurt cat, but then scolds her for being careless with her own abilities. Met with Haruka's confusion, her aunt would finally tell the truth about why she started living with her. Her aunt would recount on how magecraft caused her to be estranged from her family, yet her brother, Haruka's father, kept in touch with her in secret despite the heavy responsibilities put onto him. When it came to him being on his death bed, he told her aunt to take Haruka away to relieve her of the same fate. Recounting this story to the 15-year-old Haruka, her aunt further explains that it's for the best that she stays with her instead of her mother. While reluctant, she figured that it would be fine, considering her below average to no experience with magecraft. Going as far as saying that she didn't even know what magecraft was, those teachings long forgotten after being in her aunt's care.
So by her aunt's suggestion, she took on the name of Haru Imamura, and only used her only spell, the basic healing spell, when she was sure that no one would catch wind of it. There, she took up the life of a social loner, leading up to present day to which she moves out of her aunt's house to live on her own in a rural village. With her studies in the medical field and with that "healing charm," she was able to become a nurse at a neighboring town's hospital. Even on her own, Haru finds herself still feeling unfulfilled and not achieving enough. She thought to herself, if she had access to this healing charm, how come she can't just wish to be a more useful person?
Little did she know that her silent and uncertain prayers were indirectly answered, and that she happened to move into a specific place during a specific time...
Other: Literally has no idea what she's getting dragged into.
