Haruka Hayami

Haruka Hayami is a character in BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience — Part 1. She is the childhood friend and cousin of Naoto Kurogane. Her estimated life-force value hovers around 10,512.

Information
Haruka lives in an apartment complex near her cousin, Naoto Kurogane. She attends Shin Kawahama First High School alongside Naoto and Shinnosuke Fukuda; the latter seems to have a certain attraction towards Haruka while the former didn't particularly find anything of interesting note.

Bloodedge Experience — Part 1
Haruka first appeared in Chapter 1: Contact, when she rudely woke up Naoto and teased him for his choice in video games. Eventually, she and Naoto had breakfast and then began to walk to school due to Naoto's dislike for public transport. During their walk back, Haruka began to tease him more about his video games and even shyly claimed that she had taken several so she could keep up with his hobbies.

At school, Shinnosuke, Naoto and Haruka attended their Earth Science class with Tadayuki Isa; during the lesson, Tadayuki began acting strange, something that Haruka and Naoto only seemed to pick up on. After school, Naoto asked Haruka to go home without him while he wandered about.

The next day, Haruka walked into Naoto's apartment unannounced, only to find that he and a naked Raquel Alucard were fumbling around as he tried to dress her. She asked what he was doing as she walked into the kitchen to pick up a knife against the young mans wishes, claiming that it's a kitchen knife that is "good to stab with" - she then asked what he was doing again. Shortly afterwards, Raquel used her Slave Red on the young girl and convinced her that Naoto and herself were just cousins, she then ran home to retrieve her mother's clothes for the vampire to wear. Unlike Naoto, Haruka managed to get Raquel into some clothes due to the latter's tendency to have panic attacks around females. When the two non-humans decided to leave, they told her that they had places to go.

An unknown time later, Clavis Alucard arrived at the apartment, Haruka offered him some tea and the vampire put her to sleep in the room next to the living room. Thanks to the magic used by Clavis, Haruka slept through the entire fight between Clavis and his assassins, and then throughout the ordeal with Kīro Hikagami. She eventually woke up when the Mitsurugi Agency's legal team arrived to explain the entire situation, including the destroyed apartment.

Haruka then lead Raquel and Naoto back to her residence and took a bath with the former (against her will). Afterwards, she offered Naoto the opportunity to come back and live in the residence after they reminisced about old times; this lead to the two becoming closer and closer until they very nearly kissed, however, Raquel innocently barged in, asking them what they were doing. To make matters slightly worse, Haruka's mother, Yuki Hayami, arrived. Haruka pushed her mum to let Raquel stay in the home and, eventually, she succeeded, leaving the room to go to bed with the vampire, despite all her various protests.

Personality
A bright young woman who is calm and kind. Haruka is the subject of Shinnosuke's desire but it's unlikely the feelings are reciprocated since it is very highly implied that she has feelings for Naoto; feelings of which are greatly expanded upon in later chapters.

Appearance
Haruka appears as a young 16 year old woman with short brown hair accompanied by green and silver hair clips. She has dark green eyes and a pale complexion. Haruka wears the Shin Kawahana First Highschool uniform; a typical Japanese female sailors uniform with a red ribbon.

Shinnosuke describes her as being beautiful, cute and having large breasts.
