Haru Ichinose

Haru Ichinose is the deuteragonist of the manga and anime series Akuma no Riddle. She is a former student of Myōjō Academy's 10th year's Black Class who served as the this year's Black Class' target for the 12 other assassins. However, after Tokaku Azuma joined sides with Haru it's 11 assassins versus one target and one guardian. For the start of plot, Haru is shown wearing a white shirt with flappy collars under a light brown-yellow sleeveless vest and a black pleated skirt with black footwear. Accompanied by a petite, thin figure, she has messy dark salmon colored hair which are black underneath and sparkling rose red eyes. Apart from her usual outfit, she is shown to wear fluffy, light colored clothes as her night dress. Though the frame and texture of her skin is tried to be camouflaged by her, she is revealed anyhow to have cuts and scars all over her body. According to all encounters that were sexually abusive to her, it is revealed that she wears white panties and bra. On the day of Shutou's birthday, when she was taken to the swimming arena, she wore a simple pink and black swimsuit that covered her body modestly. In the OVA, she is seen wearing the same swimsuit. Haru is shown to be a bright and cheerful girl. As claimed by Tokaku Azuma initially, she is naive and trusting of others even in the face of danger. While it is true she has an optimistic demeanor, this belies her resolve and uncompromising dedication to staying alive. Kouga Yun said Haru is stubborn and obstinate and has an “iron hand in a velvet glove”. As shown multiple times throughout the manga and anime, she is capable of cunning to survive, going as far as using poison flowers on Otoya Takechi and even dropping Sumireko off a roof. Apart from these attributes, she is very forgiving. Even after Haruki tries to kill her and fails, she merely tells the other that she is forgiven. She is keenly aware of the fact that everyone has their own reasons, and she is thoroughly fixated on her own to survive, because to die would be an insult to all those who laid their lives down for her.
