Haru Okumura: Difference between revisions

Haru is the daughter of Kunikazu Okumura, a wealthy yet selfish businessman and the fifth target of the Phantom Thieves. She is the heiress to her father's company, Okumura Foods, which is suspected to be in violation of several health and safety policies and may be connected to the mental shutdowns that the Phantom Thieves are looking into the cause of. Haru wishes to have her father's heart changed so she can escape her arranged marriage. She meets [[Morgana]] while the latter has split off from the Phantom Thieves due to a disagreement; he wants to help people on his own to prove his self-worth. The pair decides to enter Kuzikanu's palace and steal his treasure on their own. However, Morgana is easily overpowered, and Haru awakens to her Persona but is unable to summon it, forcing them to escape. When confronted by the Phantom Thieves, Morgana brushes them off. However, Haru's lack of confidence becomes apparent as she forgets dialogue the two of them had rehearsed earlier.

Later on, the Phantom Thieves rescue Haru from being assaulted by her fiance, prompting her to join the group with Morgana in tow. Upon reentering the Palace, Haru learns that her father cares little about his company and only intends on marrying her off as a means to an end, regardless of the fact that her fiance intends on abusing her. Her anger from this realization allows her to fully awaken her Persona, and, under the codename Noir, she helps the group steal Kunikazu's treasure. Kunikazu holds a live press conference atoning for his behavior, but suddenly collapses as his mind shuts down just as he is about to reveal the identity of his co-conspirators; the Phantom Thieves, now at the peak of their popularity, are blamed for his death. Haru's social link, following this, revolves around her struggles in having to run her father's company, coupled with the general distrust she has of her employees.
