APPEARANCE

PLAY-BY: Haruka Tenoh, Sailor Moon
FULL APPEARANCE: Haruka is on the taller side, and at first glance, doesn't look like the cis woman she actually is. She is lacking the soft, feminine curves one would expect to see. She has never much cared about her lack of womanly features though.
Her face is androgynous. Handsome rather than beautiful, she still has the ability to draw the eye of admirers. Her eyes are a pale blue-grey and elegantly shaped. She keeps her pale blond hair cropped short, which further lends to her overall masculine appearance. She hates the management longer hair brings, as well as preferring the look of herself with shorter hair.
She favors dark colors and masculine cuts to her clothes, even her fancier duds. Not to say she won't wear more feminine clothes, especially if she wants to show off for someone.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Haruka is a fighter at heart. She is protective of her friends, to the point of self-sacrifice. She loves deeply and fully, and wants nothing more than the best for those she loves.
Stubborn to a fault, once Haruka has made her mind up about something, especially something that she wants to do, she will stick with it. Michiru might be able to talk her out of it, but even that is rare.
While she is fully loyal and dedicated to Michiru, she has no problem flirting with any girl she finds pretty. It amuses her to watch others get flustered by her attention. On the other hand, she also gets rather jealous if someone flirts with Michiru (or Michiru flirts with someone other than her).
Haruka can be a bit of an adrenaline junkie, loving the thrill of doing something potentially dangerous. One of the reasons she wants to be a rider is to get her chance at flying and fighting Thread.

BIRTHPLACE: Igen Weyr
HISTORY: Haruka was the middle born of five children to a weyrmated pair. As per usual for a Weyr, she was sent to the Creche and raised as a weyrbrat. Life in general was as easy as weyrlife could be. No major events affected Haruka specifically. She decided from a young age that she was made to be a Rider like her parents, so had plans to join the ranks of Candidate when she was old enough. Around when she was 13, her parents decided the idea of helping Semeca build was a fine idea and put in the transfer. Haruka asked to come with because to her it seemed like a grand adventure in a fantastic place. She helped with the Weyr as much as a teen girl could, as her parents warned her that there would be no idle hands at a place like Semeca.
She met another young girl named Michiru as she was doing chores one day and the two became fast friends. They soon began dating, and have been together since.
One of the floods in late 2768 caught Haruka and Michiru unaware and she nearly drowned trying to save her girlfriend and herself. They both made it out relatively unscathed in the end and Haruka helped with the rebuilding.
Haruka entered Candidacy just after she turned 15, ready to do her part for Pern. She was happy to finally be set up to live her dream. Michiru joined her in being a Candidate, which made her happy too.
She didn't trust word of pirates helping the rebuild and refuses to work with any of she can help it. When the spotties attacked, she hunted down a Firelizard egg and gave it to Michiru. It might not be much, but having something to protect her made Haruka feel better.
A Gold clutch is on the sands now and Haruka is waiting to see what come of it.
