Description
Haruna Kisaragi is introduced as the best friend of the main protagonist. She possesses a polite, calm, and exceptionally caring personality, often presented as a stark contrast to her friend's more headstrong nature. Her defining traits extend to her high intelligence and an innate, remarkable proficiency with computers, which makes her a perfect candidate for the role of a Corrector.
In the story, her background reveals that she was originally intended to be the human Corrector chosen to protect the ComNet. However, due to the intervention of the primary antagonist, Grosser, a different individual was selected by mistake. This event sets the stage for a significant portion of her character arc. When a professor attempts to pass the Corrector tasks and abilities to her, Grosser manipulates the situation, seizing the opportunity to turn Haruna into Dark Angel Haruna. In this corrupted state, she serves as an antagonist until she is ultimately saved and restored by her friend's determination. Her forced transformation includes a visual change, as her standard Corrector attire, which has a white and turquoise angelic motif, is replaced by a red and black costume with bat-like wings. Notes on her home life suggest her parents are often absent and implied to be workaholics, leaving her alone frequently.
After being rescued, Haruna's motivations remain tied to protecting others and assisting her friend. In the second season, she returns to the role of a Corrector to provide crucial support. She steps in to help when her friend is incapacitated by infected insects and continues to fight alongside her until the conclusion of the series. Her relationships are central to her narrative, with her deep bond and loyalty forming the emotional core of her story. While she is the intended Corrector, her relationship with the chosen protagonist is not defined by jealousy but eventually by mutual respect and teamwork. Her connection with the professor places her in a position of high expectation, which inadvertently leads to her temporary downfall.
Throughout the series, Haruna exhibits notable development. She begins as a highly capable but passive figure who is targeted for her skills. After being manipulated and subsequently freed, she evolves into a more active and determined hero, choosing to fight on her own terms. A notable ability that sets her apart is her natural aptitude with the Element Suits, which are power-ups used in battles. It is observed that she can use these Element Suits more effectively than the main protagonist. Additionally, like her friend, she possesses a voice with the ability to normalize corrupted programs.
