| - Haru is the sort of person who wears his heart on his sleeve. He's very open about himself and very accepting of everyone he meets; he hates lies and secrets and that sort of thing. He doesn't go out of his way to tell everyone everything about himself, but he doesn't see the point in keeping things hidden, either. He's very talkative and doesn't always know when to shut up, but it's not like he goes out of his way to steamroll all over other people; he simply gets excited when he's talking about something he's passionate about, like soccer football and his family and the subjects he likes at school. Haru is also pretty naive. As his friend Miwako puts it, he's "too blessed to know anything". Though he has an intersex condition, something that would cause a lot of turmoil for most people, Haru's parents raised him openly and treated his being intersex as simply another ordinary part of his growth, nothing special or shameful. Before coming to Hogwarts, he's only ever told one person outside his family, because he's been told that he should try not to tell anyone else. Truthfully, he doesn't really understand why he needs to keep it secret, and would tell others about it if they asked him frankly. When it comes to other people's quirks and foibles, Haru is very accepting. While he doesn't always understand everything at first, and says unthoughtful things without meaning to, he would never deliberately say something to hurt another person. If he realizes that he's said something hurtful, he feels awful about it. He does, however, say things that come to mind without thinking about them, and pelt people with questions without realizing that that might make them uncomfortable, but all it would take would be a nice, stern talking-to for him to realize that he needs to let up. In his canon, he's a bit more quiet and secretive about himself, but that goes along with being forced to pretend he's a girl so that he can attend the high school he wants. Left to his own devices, Haru sees little need for secrecy.
