About: History/personality

 

Haruko is an interesting case. Her life before being Trapped looking into her NERVgear was simple - she was a young and innocent looking girl, with a less than innocent penchant for relieving people of their pocket change. From a young age, despite being part of a reasonably well to-do family, Sona was always in search of ways to get money and power, a greed not taught by her caring parents, but completely inborn. Haruko tended to be a bit choosy with her marks - not stealing from anyone obviously living in poverty already, for example - but particularly enjoyed stealing from authority figures when she could get away with it. Eventually, while skipping school one day, she ended up hearing one of her friends talking about this new "Nervgear" technology, and decided it would be a good way to burn the cash she had just "liberated" from the school principal.
How wrong she was...

 

Virtues:

Determined: When Haruko decides she wants something, she will do her best to get exactly that. Haruko is very goal-driven and will do anything she can to get those goals, never losing her enthusiasm. As a result, when she's determined to do something, she never stops trying. She isn't stubborn in the typical sense - if an approach or an idea isn't working, she'll notice and stop trying - but while she might change her methods, unless her prize manages to disappear from her fingers, she'll never stop trying to reach her goal.

Creative: Haruko is very good at looking at a situation from all angles, and has a very outside-the-box sort of thinking at times. She's capable of finding a creative way of dealing with any situation, and a mix of a willingness to try new ideas, and a general lack of shame on her part, allows her to apply a unique mix of solutions to any problem. She is also a relatively talented artist as a result, useless as that may be in the world of Aincrad. She almost seems to thrive on using new ideas to solve old problems - "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a phrase that doesn't exist in her head, and she constantly tries to find ways to "do things better".

Opportunist: An old teacher once told Haruko "The most important quality, to advance in life, is to seize every opportunity to advance yourself.". Haruko disliked the man (and seriously, what school hires an old codger with a suspicious name like "Mr. Deathwind."? Come on.). But has kept this advice as her motto to this day. Haruko is very good at sniffing out leads to contacts, money, or other beneficial things to her. She's even better at capitalizing on them.

Flaws:
Greedy: Haruko is a person who wants the best for herself, generally to the exclusion of all others, and is also a materialistic woman. These two things combined cause her to be rather stingy towards others and try to take as much as she possibly can in any situation. She will do anything for even a penny, but never give one in return without expecting something to be given back.

Vain: Haruko holds a high opinion of herself and her appearance, and has issues donning or using anything she perceives as making her "ugly" or "less cute" for any significant length of time. She believes herself quite attractive, and will likely resent anyone who thinks otherwise. She tends to hold her natural skill in life in the same regard, and while she rarely allows overconfidence to bring her to bad decisions, she is quite willing to brag about what skills she does have until everyone in earshot is quite sick of hearing it. She is also quite willing to jump at anything that might enhance her beauty or status, no strings attached.

Self-focused: Haruko is no hero - She is a self-centered coward. She feels no desire or motivation to fight on for the sake of friends in the face of a hopeless fight, or bravely face off against certain doom. If she doesn't see any benefit to fighting with her friends, she's more than capable of running to save her own skin. This isn't to say she won't feel bad - but she can't really bring herself to face certain doom for no reason. At least, unless she's given good reason.

Haruko learns about life, SAO, scary boars, and gets her butt to level 2 in the process.
