Haruka Nanakusa

Haruka Nanakusa (ハルカ) is a side character in Call of the Night. He is a vampire who resides in Hokkaido where he scams tourists and preys on them. He used to be a servant of Haru Nanakusa, whose disappearance caused him to start a new life under his current name, which is one he adopted since he can't remember what his original name was.

Appearance
Haruka looks like a high-school boy, wearing a gakuran blazer, a white shirt underneath, and matching pants. His hair is bright-colored, short, and has a spiky profile. He has a mole on the left side of his chin, and his eyes have a ring pattern, like Haru's and Nazuna's, which becomes a spiral pattern in certain situations.

Personality
Haruka is a very lax and casual person. He seems friendly and is straightforward when approaching strangers, asking them if they want to take a photo with him.

Under that exterior lies a cunning manipulator. He first takes photos with tourists and then demands money for it out of nowhere. He is methodical and knows his limits, backing off from scamming Saki when he concludes that there is something unusual about Kou, instead relying on Saki falling for him and therefore being isolated when they meet, being well aware of the effect he has on girls and using it to his advantage; this includes several women whom he is in a relationship with while pretending to be loyal to each one of them, using their money to keep himself afloat.

He is very gleeful while fighting, shown when he let out frenzied laughter and continuously taunted Kou as they exchanged blows.

Haruka does seem to care about formality and honor, at least if it's about him or other vampires; He didn't like Kou leaving out the "san" while saying his name, as Haruka is Kou's senior both in terms of vampiric and human age. He also became extremely angry when Kou punched him while he was distracted, calling it cheating and yelling that he would kill Kou. When Haruka initially believed that Kou was a vampire, he was willing to let him and Saki go and apologized for stealing another vampire's prey.

Haruka is shown to have a kind side, as he claims to never kill the tourists whose blood he sucks, sending them away after having his fill. While he leeches off many of them, he genuinely likes the people of Hokkaido and wants to have a good relationship with them.

In his human days, Haruka was suicidal and claimed that he always wanted to die, never once having felt alive. He was able to feel happy for a short bit, which gave him the courage to end his life. After he got turned into a vampire, he felt less alive than ever before, though he still had occasional happy moments.

Haru Nanakusa
He only found momentary happiness when he was with Haru, feeling in love with her, being his only reason to continue living a boring life, even after losing contact with her.
