SkullGirls DX: Haruko Katagiri (Profile)

Name:  Haruko Katagiri (Voiced By: Mae Whitman)

| Biography |
A native to the far off Dragon Kingdom, Haruko studied Katagiri-styled martial arts from her parents. After avenging her parents who got murdered by the Yakuza Lord during the Great War, she and her older brother, Yosuke moved to the Canopy Kingdom as a foreign exchange student. She made several friends, but recently they have started to disappear from school.

For the sake of her friends, Haruko ventures forth to find them.

| Appearance |
Her eyes were dark brown and her hair was black. She had a thin layer of bangs dangling before her eyes while a thick amount of it framed her face, reaching her lower chest. The rest of her hair was held up into the mouths of the living dice on her head that sat there seamlessly.
She wore a more modern version of a tang suit (Her Shirt) with black outlines that exposed her obliques and back. The shirt ranged from a whitish blue at the very top then transcending into a more distinguishable shade of the color. The sides of the upper shirt near the biceps were a darker blue. On her arms she wore long dodger shaded fingerless gloves with black cuffs at the top of the arms pinned up with a button. On her left wrist was a black band that concealed a hidden blade. On her right, she wore a large black glove with Yin Yang on the back.
Her deep blue pants that looked like the traditional hakama with pockets and a thick black draw string that visibly wrapped around the waist and through the top of the pants. Blue ribbons with green trim fell out of the openings at the sides. These pants stopped right before the ankles where golden rings dangled, jingling as she moved. On her feet she wore plain old, black Kung Fu shoes.

| Relationships |
• Filia- When Haruko and her brother moved to Canopy Kingdom, she attended the same high school Filia’s in. The two met is when Filia was being harassed by a male student (who was just as strong as Haruko), when Katagiri came in to help her and got beat up a little but won the fight. Only to be sent to the principal’s office. Ever since that day, the two became friends.

•Painwheel – Once they became friends, Filia introduced Haruko to Carol (Painwheel).The two also became friends, but during that fateful moment Haruko witnessed Carol being kidnapped by Valentine. She tries to stop her but only to get knocked out. After waking up she realizes the two were gone. It gets worse when she heard about Filia’s disappearance; she then gets her gear on goes on a mission to find her friends.
•Ms. Fortune-While exploring the city, Haruko decided to stop by Little Innsmouth for something to eat. She went to Yu-Wan's restaurant (purely by luck due to her unfamiliarity with the Dagonian language), and waited to order. It just so happened that Riccardo was eating there as well, and being his lecherous self, started hitting on her. He quickly regretted it as Haruko broke his nose and threw him off the outside railing into the water. Ms. Fortune, who was about to intervene before Haruko proved herself more than capable, decided to introduce herself. Nadia has since put in a good word for her with the residents of Little Innsmouth.

•Cerebella- Hearing about the Cirque des Carte, Haruko decided to go there and that’s when she met Cerebella in person. She then finds out that she’s a part of the Medici Mafia.
•Valentine- Like Carol, Katagiri is also searching for the ninja nurse because of what she did to Carol. She is unaware of who Valentine is beyond her appearance, which may cause some trouble when they finally meet face-to-face.

•Parasoul- The main reason why she and her brother moved in to the Canopy Kingdom. Having problems with not only the Skullgirl and the Medici Mafia, Parasoul brought the Katagiri siblings to aid her and the Black Egrets. She heard about Haruko's exploits in the Dragon Kingdom, and respects her as an adult. This makes her brother a little jealous.

•Mr. White and Mr. Black - Two hitmen who worked for the Yakuza lord, they are under his orders to forge an Alliance with the Medicis. Haruko is their secondary priority, as she is as much of a threat to the Mafia's goals as to their own.

•Snake Eyes: The parasite dices has two personas; one well-mannered, the other one...not so much. When they’re attached to Katagiri’s hair, they can communicate with her through thoughts. Sometimes they small debates and help out their hostess.
