Yoshino Harusawa, also known as Haru, is a character in Devil Survivor.

Appearance

• Devil Survivor / Overclocked: Supporting character, guest member
• Devil Survivor (Manga)

Design

Haru is a young woman with short, shoulder- length parted red hair and lime green eyes. She has a red tattoo shaped like a flower on her left shoulder. She wears a loose white dress, elbow length black gloves and long black leather high heel boots.

Personality

Haru is a deeply depressed woman, and also exhibits at several points of the game a profound morosity and a death wish, manifested at least once by trying to attempt suicide by cop. She also longs for her lost friend and teacher, Aya, though she believes she left for Europe for studies. She sees Gin as her guardian and friend and considers both him and Aya her family. She is aware of Yuzu's feelings for the protagonist and enjoys flirting with him to get a reaction from Yuzu for her own amusement.

Profile

Devil Survivor/Overclocked

The vocalist of the indie band D-Va, nicknamed Haru. She's able to summon demons by matching the rhythm of her songs with the sequencer handed down to her by the band's former keyboardist, Aya. She suffers, wondering if the demons appearing in Tokyo is her fault.

She will try to commit suicide at one point on the 4th day. Failing to stop this has a drastic consequence: barring the player from every ending but Desperate Escape and Silent Revolution.

Early Bad Ending

Haru does not show up at all.

Desperate Escape

In Overclocked, Haru meets up with the group and is amused after finding out they broke out of the lockdown only to come back. She informs them that the SDF is on a mission to kill all the demon tamers within the Yamanote Circle and complains that they never did such a thing before. She warns them to be careful. Other than that, she doesn't do much.

Kingdom of Saints

In Overclocked, Haru voices her thoughts about how admirable the protagonist is by showing people how to be nice.

Song of Hope

Haru is a key factor in the ending's route, where demons stop pouring into the human world forever. Using Haru's voice and Aya's sequencer, it is revealed that the first song Haru ever sang was, in fact, the song Aya used to bring demons into the world: the 'primal common tongue.' Haru and Atsuro work together to upload the song into the demon summoning server, banishing the demons from the human world.

Etymology

• The name Yoshino means "fragrant, virtuous, beautiful" (芳) (yoshi) and "field, wilderness" (野) (no).
• Yoshino's surname Harusawa means "spring" (春) (haru) and "marsh" (沢) (sawa).

Trivia

• Haru is the only character in the game to display a reduction in her stats; her agility goes from 11 (on the 6th day when she's attacked by Belial) to 9 (in the final battle of the Song of Hope ending where she needs to upload her song onto the server).
