Description
Haruka Igusa is a first-year Gehenna Academy student and the youngest member of Problem Solver 68, a group specializing in unconventional issue resolution. A history of severe childhood bullying left her with cripplingly low self-esteem and a dark, gloomy personality, until Aru Rikuhachima intervened. This rescue forged Haruka's intense loyalty towards Aru, manifesting as a willingness to sacrifice herself for Aru's plans.
Her personality blends extreme shyness with unpredictable volatility. Lingering trauma erodes some social morals, leading to actions like stealing a gift figurine followed by hysterical apologies. Haruka perceives threats to Aru as existential, responding with extreme measures including uncontrolled shotgun fire and explosives. Deep insecurity colors her self-view; she compares herself to useless weeds meant to be "stepped on or plucked out," despite genuinely caring for her Problem Solver 68 teammates.
In combat, she relies on a customized FABARM SDASS pump-action shotgun and explosive tactics. Her skills include "Erratic Shooting," delivering area damage in a fan-shaped range, and the defensive boost "Trigger Over." Her passive skill "But I’ll do my best!" increases her maximum HP, reflecting her underlying determination. Unique equipment further enhances her HP and explosion effectiveness.
Visually, Haruka has long, scruffy purple hair secured with bangs clips and purple eyes. She wears the Gehenna Academy uniform: a violet admiral coat over a red suit, a black pleated skirt, and laced boots. Accessories include a cross badge and a belt with a creepy rabbit doll keychain. Her halo consists of three sharp, thorned purple needles forming a triangle.
In the short animation *Beautiful Day Dreamer*, Haruka appears peripherally with Problem Solver 68, consistent with the group's recurring support role while the narrative centers on the Game Development Department. A New Year variant debuted during the "Handyman 68’s New Year Rhapsody" event, featuring a festive outfit. Here, she investigates a scam organization, maintaining her characteristic loyalty to Aru and reliance on explosives. Her variant skills focus on debuffing enemies and supporting allies' EX-skill regeneration, aligning with her backline specialist role.
