Haru Nanakusa

Haru Nanakusa (ハル) was a nurse and a friend of Kiku Hoshimi who investigated for a method to revert back to being human. Haru cared for the recurring patient Kabura Honda, and with her consent, she turned Kabura into her underling. Under the idea that conceiving a child with a human could transform her back into a mortal, Haru gave birth to her identical-looking daughter, Nazuna Nanakusa, before passing away, leaving Nazuna to be taken under Kabura's wing.

Appearance
Haru looked identical to her daughter Nazuna. Their only difference was their preferred clothes and hairstyles. Haru had shorter hair which she usually tied to a very short ponytail or wore completely loose and connected to a single braid when it grew longer. She was often seen in a classic nurse outfit and wore clothes like ruffle pants, a white shirt, a bright-colored hoodie, and a Tangzhuang, also known as a Tang suit, outside work.

Personality
Haru was described as very energetic, intelligent, caring, and affectionate, devoting much of her time to a young Kabura, to whom she provided physical and emotional support. She was also very perceptive as she knew about Kabura's love for her before the former even confessed her feelings, although she did not reciprocate them. Haru turned individuals like Kabura and Haruka into vampires to end their suffering or save them from death.

When upset, Haru was capable of explosive anger. After finding 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. She also occasionally smoked tobacco.

Haru was very philosophical, asking Kabura questions that made her question herself and her life. She had many doubts about life and the life of vampires, whose existence was so different from that of 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 of humans. Haruka revealed that she even wanted to find a way to become human again, as she felt incredibly bored being immortal.

She initially appeared impulsive when telling Kabura that she married a human for fun and didn't expect a pregnancy. That later turned out to be a lie as Haru deliberately sought to fall in love with a human and give birth to turn human again.

It is indirectly revealed that she didn't suck her husband's blood ever since she met him, indicating her love was genuine, unlike the love of most vampires.

Quotes

 * (To Kabura) "So, Kabura-chan, what do you want to be? Kabura-chan, what do you want to become?"
