Haru
CharacterHaru is a female ghoul introduced only in the Tokyo Ghoul anime, a member of the 11th Ward group once led by Kazuichi Banjou. Paired with her lover Shuu, she briefly aids the captive Ken Kaneki before both meet a grim end at Yamori's hands.
Appearance
Little of Haru's look is detailed beyond her clothing. She is shown wearing the standard garb of the Aogiri Tree, blending into the organization's ranks rather than standing apart with any distinct style of her own.
Personality
The anime offers no direct window into Haru's temperament. Her actions, gently tending to Kaneki after his torment and carrying word that help was coming, hint at compassion, but no explicit account of her character is given.
History
Haru lived in the 11th Ward and belonged to Kazuichi Banjou's group during his time overseeing that district. After Yamori stepped away from one of his torture sessions with Ken Kaneki, Haru arrived with her lover Shuu to clean the battered prisoner and the space around him, delivering Banjou's promise that a rescue was on the way. Not long afterward, Yamori forced the pair to help torment Kaneki, and when that effort collapsed, he killed both of them. Within the anime, Haru and Shuu fill the roles occupied elsewhere by the characters Kei and Kouto.
