History:
Haruka was born in Mito, Japan, to a doting father and mother. She was always quiet, which many of her peers took for weakness. They bullied poor little Haruka mercilessly. Her parents, her teachers and the other students were no help to her as she was cruelly mocked every day. Haruka eventually took to martial arts to defend herself and was instantly hooked. She became incredibly proficient in muay thai and karate and eventually paid her bullies back in kind for the years of abuse she suffered. She plied her trade in wrestling rings up and down Japan until the talent scouts at Wrestle Angels noticed her. Haruka had a solid if unremarkable career in Wrestle Angels. After Wrestle Angels folded, she jumped ship to AFW to try and make a name for herself in the Federation.

Personality:
Haruka is the strong and silent type. Many might mistake her silence with aloofness which Haruka really doesn't mind; she has never been very much of a people person. She loathes bullies with a passion and will fight anyone she thinks is picking on the weak. Haruka reckons that the less words you say the more her words count, and she wants her words to be as effective as her flying fists. She will do everything she can to impress someone she likes often going to silly extremes. Haruka hones her body and mind and expects those around her to do the same.

Fun facts:
-She associates with the Phoenix as she rose from abject misery the same way a phoenix rises from the ashes
-Once punched through a wall at her aunt's home to test her strength and has still not been invited back
-Keeps her hair in a long ponytail because she likes the way it flows around her

Likes:
-Cleaning the dojo after a long day's work ("It brings one's heart down after being up for so long")
-Knee/elbow strikes ("No one ever sees it coming.")
-Kung-fu movies ("So action packed! And they give me good ideas.")

Dislikes:
-Bullies ("Not dislikes. Hates. With a passion.")
-Cheating ("There is more to fighting than winning.")
-Being the center of attention ("It is not where I belong.")
