Haru Nanakusa

Haru Nanakusa (ハル) is a side character in Call of the Night. She is a vampire and the mother of Nazuna Nanakusa. After giving birth to Nazuna, she passed away according to her husband, leaving her care to her underling, Kabura Honda.

Appearance
Haru looked identical to her daughter Nazuna. The only difference between them is their preferred clothes and hair styles. Haru usually tied her hair to a very short ponytail or wore it completely loose. When it grew longer she tied it to a single braid. She was often seen in a classic nurse outfit and wore a hoodie outside of work.

Personality
Haru was described as very energetic and was an extremely intelligent, caring and affectionate person, devoting a lot of her time to a young Kabura, to whom she provided both physical and emotional support.

She was very philosophical, asking Kabura questions that made her fundamentally question herself and her life. She was very perceptive, having known about Kabura's love for her before the former even confessed her feelings, although she did not reciprocate those feelings and made her a vampire so that Kabura didn't have to suffer anymore.

When upset, Haru was capable of explosive anger. When she found out that Kabura's friends talked about Kabura behind her back, her rage was so intense that she proposed to kill them.

Like her daughter, she was very fond of alcohol, her thirst not satiated after visiting several pubs in a single night.

Haru also seemed to be relatively impulsive. When asked why she married a human, her reason was that she just thought it would be fun. She also didn't expect to get pregnant and had no idea how to raise a human-vampire child, regretfully asking Kabura to take care of her daughter before she died.

She had many doubts about life and the existence of vampires, whose existence was so different from any other life form, wondering whether they were truly alive. After meeting with other vampires, she seemed to have changed and wanted to do things typical for humans.

Trivia

 * According to Anko Uguisu, she had a close relationship with Kiku Hoshimi, as an explanation for why the latter was in possession of Nazuna's umbilical cord.
