Name: Haruka Saito

Age: 39

Occupation: Journalist

Personality: Bubbly, funny, completely distracting in her silly behavior, Haruka usually uses this as a ruse to get people to let their guard down when meeting her because Haruka actually has quite a bit of inner strength and is incredibly determined. Her determination can even be put to a fault. She makes friends easily because of her personality, which she uses her goofy disposition in a lot of instances to get what she wants. Haruka is a week shy of turning forty, and has many strange superstitions and fears when it comes to her age. English curse words pique Haruka’s interest and cause her to giggle uncontrollably.

Backstory: Haruka Saito is a world-renowned reporter from Japan, whose gain to fame was when she ushered the fall of a corrupt pharmaceutical company that was killing its customers with faulty medicines. Haruka moved to the United States after a scandal that she likes to keep to herself. She is in the process of learning the English language and adjusting to American culture, where she does not fit in whatsoever.

When the outbreak of zombies occurs on the week of her fortieth birthday, Haruka’s investigative past gets the best of her. She is eager to find the source of this pandemic, despite her limited resources, mostly as an attempt to prove to herself and others that forty isn’t old and she can still get shit done. She places finding out what is going on at a higher priority than focusing on her own well being and survival, often going days without eating or sleeping in her attempts at investigating and piecing together whatever information she can find, much to the concern of others. Can Haruka put this idea to rest and finally focus on what’s important, or will she let the question of “Why did this happen?” haunt her until the day she dies?
