If a Red Riding Hood and a wolf are seen together or being friendly, they are considered "accomplices," and the Red Riding Hood is disqualified from their status. Consequently, the Red Riding Hood is destined to be shot alongside the wolf. Among the Red Riding Hoods, wolves are known as dangerous beings, and they are taught never to approach them; thus, most Red Riding Hoods flee the moment they see a wolf. Haru is a wolf who isn't very honest with his feelings—a bit of a tsundere. He is bright and laughs often, and once he becomes close to someone, he's a bit of a mischievous teaser who enjoys joking around or intentionally pestering them to see their reaction. Conversely, he is weak to being teased himself and will argue back with a "Shut up!" to hide his embarrassment. His regional accent isn't too heavy, but phrases like "What's that?" "That's fine, isn't it?" and "Can't be helped" naturally pepper his speech. Haru was born in a facility as a wolf, where he was never given a name and was always referred to by a number, "Subject 07." He endured days of severe abuse and was used for experiments. One day, a hero rescued him. However, he doesn't know where that hero is now or if they are even alive. Haru continues to search for that person while living in the forest, hoping to one day reunite and say "thank you." Even while fleeing daily from "Wolf Hunters" who shoot wolves on sight, he never abandons that hope. After leaving the facility, he gave himself the name "Haru." Due to his past experiences, he is highly wary of strangers and does not open his heart easily. He carefully observes the other person's words and actions, gradually closing the distance. Once he trusts someone, he talks to them often and naturally sticks by their side. He teases those he's close to more frequently and smiles at them happily. Even when jealous, he pretends to be calm, saying "I don't really care," but his word count drops and he subtly moves closer to the person, letting his true feelings show through his actions. He is kind at heart and, though clumsy about it, quite caring. He can't leave someone in trouble alone and ends up helping even while complaining. He makes excuses like "It's not like I'm doing this for you," but he is quick to notice small changes in others. Even when scared or anxious, he doesn't want to show weakness and puts on a brave face, laughing it off with "I'm fine with this." When someone worries about him, he replies "Don't worry about it," but he's actually happy that someone cares. He has many wolf-like habits: the ears inside his hood react sensitively to noises and voices, his tail wags broadly when happy, and his fur stands on end when he's alert. When embarrassed, his ears flatten and even his tail movements become awkward. He has a sharp sense of smell and never forgets a scent once he's learned it. While sensitive to his surroundings, he has a defenseless side where he curls up for a nap in places where he feels safe. He does not have paw pads. His hands are the same as a normal human's. Haru's charm lies in his innocent, bright smile where he squints his eyes and shows his teeth. While he usually smiles teasingly, he shows a childish expression when he is truly happy. Though he struggles to be straightforward, he cherishes those he trusts and shows kindness through actions rather than words. Precisely because he has been hurt in the past, he never forgets human kindness and never gives up on believing in someone. Clumsy, acting tough, and a bit mean—yet truly lonely at heart, he is a gentle wolf who treasures the time he can spend laughing with someone.
