Dreams/Aspirations:
Finally, after three years of being a genin, Haruka was promoted to chuunin. She still feels that everyone else is much stronger than her, mostly because she is still horrible at ninjutsu. She wants to grow stronger. She wants to be a hero. She wants to serve judgment to the wicked, like her sword tells her to. But mostly, she just wants to make her mother proud and be the a true hero, like her father was.
History:
The story of how Haruka came to be is not one of unconditional love and burning passion that many can tell of the day their parents met. Rather, it is a tale of a young woman in training as a chef and a charming shinobi passing through her home town for a mission. The young woman, Someina, was still a year away from leaving her teenage years behind her, but yet choose to keep the small bloom of life growing within her.
Haruka was born in the early spring, just when the cherry blossoms had started to bloom and Someina, the mother, had wanted to name her daughter after the pink flowers. The moment she saw the soft, lavender tufts of hair on her newborn's head, she decided that the name was not quite right for her little one and proudly told her mother that she wanted to name her Haruka (春=haru=spring, 花=ka=flower). Her mother, the grandmother, misunderstood the name and wrote it as 遙 (far off/distant) instead and so Haruka's name came to mean something far different from what her mother had wanted.
Despite the very early mishap in her life, Haruka grew up to be a spirited child. She was always full of energy, but liked her sleep as well. She was a perfectly easy baby, although a bit slow at learning. When she was three, she started asking questions. Who was her father and where was he? Her mother, worried about telling her only child the truth of how she had been conceived, told the wide-eyed girl that her father had been a great and strong ninja and that she did not know where he was.
Because of that, Haruka decided at a young age that she wanted to be a ninja, too, and her mother agreed for them to leave their small home town and move to one of the great villages, Konohagakure no Sato, for Haruka to attend the Academy there instead of the measly opportunities ninja had in their home.
Throughout her childhood, Haruka would ask her mother small questions that seemed harmless enough, but would later define the way Haruka thought of herself. One day, when she was seven, she asked her mother;
“Mommy? Was daddy strong?”
Her mother's reply had been with a warm smile as she said;
“Like an ox, sweetie.”
On another occasion, Haruka had asked her mother;
“Did daddy use a weapon? Some of the kids say that their daddies use weapons!”
Once Haruka had stopped ranting on about how they had only been allowed to play with lame little kunai, her mother had told her;
“Your father had a huge sword!”
She had barely been able to keep the blush off of her cheeks from the innuendo of it.
As Haruka grew older, she also grew stronger. Every day, she would train. Every day, she ran longer and longer, lifted heavier and heavier weights and got better and better and hand to hand fighting. She was easily the physically strongest in her class when the time for graduation came, but she still could do very little in regards of using techniques. She could barely manage to form a clone, her transformations were mediocre at best and her substitutions often wound up unpredictable. She did manage to pass, though, and proudly presented her headband to her mother.
It brought tears to her eyes when her mother had given her a graduation present; a shiny and beautiful katana. It did not fit Haruka's style in the least, but it had a proud place on her wall as the very first item in her collection.
Haruka's teammates were both boys. One was a soft-spoken and sweet medic with an extensive knowledge on poisons and medicines by the name of Kenta while the other was a moody Hyuuga by the name Suzaku. Their sensei was a first-timer and was for the most part just nervous about everything, but went by the name Tora.
For the first year of their genin time, they did not leave the village for their missions. They would spar every day; even on their days off, but it mattered very little. Despite both of her teammates' efforts to teach her how to mold and channel her chakra, she never really did manage to do it. She could mold it fine and Kenta told her that it was not the amount that was troubling her, but she just could not get the techniques to come out right. By the time they had been genin for two years, Haruka had only learned three techniques and relied almost solely on her close-combat skills and her teammates' help. It worked fine for them, with Haruka taking the role of the “tank”, gaining the attention of their foes and making sure that the “healer”, Kenta, could go unharmed while the “DPS” tossed fireballs from every angle at a distance.
Their team bond was good. Haruka had started crushing on Suzaku about three months after they became genin. Suzaku had bluntly informed her that he thought she was utterly unattractive with her big muscles, weird hair and missing tooth. Kenta had consoled her, telling her that she was beautiful in her own way. It took a year for Suzaku, after Haruka had started developing fore feminine attributes, to agree with Kenta that Haruka was not ugly anymore. It took almost half a year after that before he agreed to go on a date with her. And just a month after that first date, they were officially an item.
The time came where the team was to take the chuunin exams and their sensei believed them to be ready for the task. They had not been. The results of the whole ordeal ended with Suzaku dead and Kenta retiring as a ninja, while Haruka was left with both physical and emotional scarring, but a fierce dedication to becoming even stronger, as well.
Left without a genin team, Haruka went on a whole bunch of solo mission inside the village gates and most of her free time was spent either training like a madwoman or learning about medicines and poisons from Kenta, who now worked in his mother's herbal store. He taught her everything from which plants could be made into tea, to which plants could cause a slow and painful death as well as which plants could cure those poisions.
Soon, Haruka was placed in what they called a temporary team in order for her, as well as the others in her team, to take the chuunin exam again. All of them had either lost teammates or had them walk out of them and although Haruka did not bother to even try and form a real bond with them, Amaya and Noburo still became her friends.
This time, Haruka was stronger, her teammates were stronger and the whole scene was different and they did manage to pass. In the final round, when Haruka had to fight some earth user one-on-one, the jugdes were impressed with her sheer strength as she smashed bounders with her bare hands and produced one weapon after another from scroll after scroll to toss at her enemy. Even though she ended up beaten and battered, with a broken arm and poison coursing through her veins, she did eventually manage to knee the guy in the nose hard enough to have him stay still after.
Haruka had thought that making chuunin would make her feel accomplished, but she still wanted to be more. She wanted to be stronger. She wanted to be better. She wanted to be a hero, like her dad.
Her mother had, just like when she made genin, bought her a present. Appearantly, she had bought it the fisrt time Haruka had attempted the exam, but since she had not passed... well, she did not get a present. It was another sword. 判断は邪悪を降りかかる (Handan wa jaaku o furikakaru) was etched into the shiny steel of the blade and Haruka downright wept. She had the magnetic sheathe made the next day.

Female ♀
Age:
Sixteen years of age (16)
Appearance:
Body Type and Shape:
Although she makes people believe that her muscle does not take hours of daily training, this is actually not true. Haruka has a naturally endomorphic body type, which means that although gaining muscle is possible for her, it requires hard work for it to not become fat.
Height:
4'7” - 140cm
Weight:
115 lbs - 52kg
Hair Color:
Haruka's hair has an odd, purple color that would probably be described as “lavender”
Hair Style:
Haruka's hair is cut in three layers of length. The front, her bangs, are cut to just above her eyes. The sides, her “frames”, are cut to her shoulders. The back of her hair is mostly free-growing, but she does get it cut to her middle back once it reaches her bum.
Eye Color:
Haruka's eyes are a deep, speaking gray color, much like that of steel. This color is common for members of the Hagane clan.

Personality
Traits:
- Will of SteelHaruka's will of steel is something that is believed to be inherited by the Hagane blood that flows in her veins. She is stubborn like few and once she gets an idea into her head, she will not stop until her goal has been accomplished.
- Not the Sharpest Tool in the ShedAlthough Haruka will fly into uncontrollable, table-throwing and wall-demolishing, rage whenever someone informs her of this fact, she really is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Her brain works in mysterious ways and takes far longer to get to a conclusion than most; and most of the time her conclusions are wrong.
- The Clumsy SwordsmanDespite the fact that she constantly trips over her own feet, branches or even pebbles, Haruka has chosen to wield a giant, two-hand broadsword as her main weapon. She will often fall over when swinging her sword, due to the sheer weight of it.
- Chakra Induced StrengthHaruka is obsessed with being physically strong and as so, she has gone as far as to make herself stronger by infusing her muscles with chakra. Due to this, her physical power is far beyond that of a regular human and she is capable of smashing boulders with her bare hands.
- Missing ToothDuring one of her many trainings, Haruka was unfortunate and clumsy enough to fall face-first onto a rock, knocking out one of her front teeth. Even more unluckily, it was a permanent tooth. This results in her speaking sort of funny, with a slight "lisp" and, sometimes, she makes small whistle noises by accident, which she finds very embarrasing.

Name:
Chakra Enhanced Strength
Classification
Fighting Style
Rank:
A-rank
Effect:
Unlike the Chakra Enhanced Strength that Tsunade and Sakura use, Haruka's version of this ”technique” is not focused on chakra control in the same sense. The original version of this technique applied a layer of chakra around the extremities of the user in order to release it as an explosion-like punch or kick. Haruka's version of the technique functions in a way similar to opening the first of the Eight Chakra Gates and actually enhances her physical strength by pumping her chakra veins and thus her muscles full of chakra to such an extent that it seeps from her skin.
Drawback:
Very high chakra use as well as chances of severe chakra burns on both her skin and her chakra veins. Excessive use could render her chakra pathways useless.
Name:
Shinpai no Hi (Judgement Day)
Classification
Kenjutsu
Rank:
C-rank
Effect:
Haruka uses her broadsword katana, “Seidou (Path of Righteousness)” in a series of slashing, brute force attacks, molding chakra to her feet to stay standing while she swings the sword, due to the weight in the force of her swings. Despite being “glued” to the ground, she still moves around.
Drawback:
The technique is physically straining, due to the weight of her sword, and takes constant concentration on her chakra flow to keep glued to the ground – if she does not, she will fall over.
