Description
Haruna Kurodate presides over the Gourmet Research Society at Gehenna Academy. She cuts an elegant, noble figure with silver hair, red eyes, and pale skin, typically maintaining a poised demeanor. This refined exterior starkly contrasts her intense obsession with gastronomy, where she completely loses self-control around food.
Hailing from significant wealth, she spares no expense, renting traditional tea rooms and acquiring luxury ingredients effortlessly. Her driving passion is the quest for ultimate flavors, prompting extensive travels. Despite her fervor for rich, meat-heavy dishes like motsunabe, horumonyaki, and taiyaki, she consumes only small portions. She prioritizes ingredient quality, preparation effort, and culinary love above price or prestige.
Her pursuit often turns destructive. Disappointing meals or establishments provoke violent retribution, typically involving high explosives detonated at the offending site. This has caused substantial chaos within Gehenna, necessitating frequent disciplinary committee interventions. She operates a social media account (@EATorDIEOfficia) announcing planned attacks on unsatisfactory eateries. Conversely, she actively supports struggling restaurants with genuinely good food, granting a "seal of approval" that attracts customers.
In combat, she wields a customized H&K PSG-1 sniper rifle named "Ideal." Her abilities include the EX skill "Piercing Elegance," dealing damage in a straight line, and "Exotic Explosives," targeting single enemies. Additional skills enhance her HP and attack power when stationary.
Her narrative role shifts dynamically. She acts as an antagonist when destroying restaurants but becomes a protagonist or supporter in other contexts, aiding failing businesses or joining collaborative efforts. During the "Treaty of Eden" storyline, she alternates between antagonist and protagonist roles based on her objectives. In the "A Little Before the Food Piled Up" event, she proactively helps prevent a restaurant's closure, demonstrating capacity for gratitude and assistance despite her chaotic methods.
Relationships involve frequent clashes with disciplinary authorities, kidnapping Fuuka Aikiyo to compel her cooking, and involving "Sensei" in experiments to heighten food enjoyment through companionship. She maintains strong, albeit unconventional, bonds with her club members.
Haruna appears in variant forms. Her New Year variant dons traditional attire while pursuing seasonal delicacies and supporting a struggling restaurant. Her Gym variant appears during a sports festival event, solely focused on the accompanying food stalls, ignoring athletic activities.
Her character design features a single bat-like wing, a lizard-like tail, and distinctive earrings on her wing for each outfit. She often carries a taiyaki keychain and wears Gehenna Academy's uniform with specific accessories like an admiral hat. Her halo resembles a sniper sight aimed at a silver platter.
Her background includes knowledge of culinary science and medicine, yet she is inept at cooking herself, often causing explosions during attempts. She considers appropriate dressing and setting integral to the dining experience, reflected in her seasonal attire choices.
