Haruka Ichijou（一条遼）
“I’m not. It suits you.” He turned towards her, reaching out towards her face. She froze in place, though he didn’t do more than just push a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “You’d make a beautiful princess.”

Charismatic, flirty, bad boy. Those are the kinds of words used to describe Haruka Ichijou, the "prince" of the drama club, who is currently being branded as a boy by the school body at large.
Haruka herself doesn't care much for this designation either way, considering herself in the "gender=lesbian" category, and she is comfortable just cruising along.
Since her mid-teens, Haruka's been doing live performances in various places, mostly to get back at her annoying parents, though no one else from school knows about it... that is, until Rikako shows up.
Despite the fact she's supposed to hide it, she can't help herself but want to get closer to her - a girl who immediately caught her interest when they met that night.
- Haruka may or may not have participated in underage smoking before 18. Reports remain unconclusive.
- Mostly uses she/her but doesn't give two shits.
- Has a sibling-like relationship with the diva of the drama club.
Haruka's flirty personality is just one of her vices; she honestly can't help herself. For the most part, she does it irresponsibly and without thinking much about the feelings of the other person, which leads to misunderstandings, and a lot of situations where people can't tell if she means it or not.
In reality, she's been looking for someone she can trust. Not just as a romantic partner, but as a friend and companion. No one in the school seems to fit the bill, and her family's a dead end. Instead, she puts on this irreverent front like nothing bothers her.
- Time at live houses
- Singing
- Reading
- Overly familiar people
- Noisy family parties
- Following rules
( classmate, crush )
The new girl in class who Haruka ends up meeting the week before she starts, ending up taking her home after she gets lost. The conversations they had then really sticks with Haruka, and she's pretty stoked when it turns out Rikako is going to be her classmate.
In reality, the "flirty bad boy" is falling, and falling hard for her. It's at the point where she is a mess at the thought and starts losing grip on that perfect mask of hers.
Rikako's talent makes Haruka want to cast her in their end-of-year play, much to the chagrin of the Drama Club Princess.
- Haruka definitely likes to live up to her bad boy persona, and that includes all the piercings she's gotten while hiding from the family. None of them are fake, and she takes them out and hides it when she goes to school. There are probably several people who know about it but generally keep quiet, though Haruka doesn't expect the family to react too badly at this point. It's more to avoid getting in trouble with the teachers at the school. She keeps the piercings somewhere on her person and puts them in as soon as she can after school ends, really cementing her status as troublemaker.
- For concerts and generally casually she dresses pretty provocatively, tending to wear low-cut shirts, crop tops and other such garments, as well as tight pants and fancy jackets. She favors the colors blue and purple, and likes to wear these outfits out and about but especially on performance nights. For footwear, she tends to go between long boots, mini boots or sneakers, all with chunky heels that make her even taller than she already is.
- When she isn't being a complete bad boy, she wears her school uniform a little lazily; often she will get in trouble for leaving her blazer open, but she deliberately opens it as a distraction to teachers. This applies also to the fact she's wearing a boy's uniform in the first place - or, well, she got her girl uniform and replaced the skirt with pants, and the teachers have been trying to get her to stop all hush-hush, since they don't want it getting out in case they can't get Haruka to comply - though at this point, they've resigned to let her graduate with that uniform, and she seems to have won the war of the uniforms.
