{Weapon Information}
Ceremonial Fan of Changing
It has no real characteristics that are permanent since it will change forms with Haru's clothing.  If he is going Goth for the day it will be black with an anarchy symbol but if he is going frilly it could be pink with white lace.  It is just a general folding fan.
No real powers but it can give a mean smack when folded up.  Haru uses it as a prop while changing clothing but the fan doesn't cause the change. 

{Armor Information}
Tan Leotard
A form fitting leotard tan in color that is never truly seen since it is always hidden by layers of illusion.
No powers just a simple base for Haru to layer his illusions that won't interact with his magic. 

{Accessory Information}

{Physical Description}
Haru is hard to describe accurately since he is always changing.  With the ability to create illusions what he appears from day to day can change drastically.  Without any alterations he has pale silvery skin.  He also has jet black hair and brown eyes.  His hair is in a messy cut that goes down to his eyebrows and over his ears.  He is five feet eight inches tall and of slim stature. 

For some odd reason if you ever saw him without illusions you would be shocked since he would only be wearing a tan leotard and white slip on sneakers.  This is because he finds it much easier just to make cloths over that.  He has gotten so good with cloths that he can actually make them feel real to the touch. 

{Personality}
Haru and Prada have two very different personalities though this is not because of any mental disorder.  When in drag Haru, or now Prada has more confident to be anyway he wants.  While dressed like a boy he could be described as pretty normal.  Nothing really wrong with him, a tad bit on the shy side he is a good friend and will stick up for those he cares about. 

In drag though, wow, watch out.  He will be the most flaming person you could imagine.  He loses all semblance of shyness and is very outgoing.  He will even pinch the rear of a passing guy while in drag.  Even with this different personality though, Prada still cares about those who he is close to.

{Background}
   Haru is a second generation Japanese-American whose parents arrived in the 1960's to find better work during the times.  Even though the family was split apart, Haru's grandparents chose to stay in Japan to live out their lives. 
   Haru got his power the same way his father did through their ancestry.  All of Haru's family used to be in the classic Japanese theater and through this ancestry could do amazing thing with light and bend it to their will to create extremely realistic illusions. 
   Even though they lived in New York City Haru's family was very conservative having grown up in rural Japan previously.  Haru had to hide his gayness and especially his cross dressing.  He would go drag around town and see the shows of Broadway and all the sights of the city.  His parents never knew for the longest time. 
   Haru met Rhyme oddly enough in Tokyo Japan.  Rhyme was in his traveling phase, trying to find a place to call home again after being thrown out and Haru's family was there to attend the funeral of a great-aunt who Haru barely knew.  While his parents went to help with the preparations Haru went to Tokyo to see and participate in the Harajuku district.  Haru dressed as in full Goth Lolita strolled down the streets of Tokyo until he found a kid with funky purple hair that stuck out worse than a Coplay wig.  They hit it off in the town and eventually over the week of the ceremony became very close even agreeing to be a couple.
   During this time though, the other boy, who happened to by Rhyme, never met Haru's parents.  On the last day that Haru would be there though he invited Rhyme to the ceremony.  Wishing to spend the last day with Haru, Rhyme agreed not knowing what Haru's parents would be like.  Rhyme found out though that Haru's father was almost identical to his own in personality and because of it, Artemis emerged.  When Rhyme came out of the blackout, he found the temple of the ceremony destroyed and everyone gone.  Having to flee or else be put in prison, he left the country to travel elsewhere. 
   During Artemis' rampage though, he let it slip that Haru was gay and a cross dresser which was news to his parents and grandparents.  Outraged his father disowned him and if it wasn't for Haru already having his plane ticket on him, he most likely would still have been in Japan to this day. 
   Once getting back to New York he found the locks have been changed.  It seems like his father was fast and called a locksmith to do the work before they even left for America.  With some help from a Broadway theater crew he knew and helped out from time to time with costumes, he got into his house and got what few things his father didn't burn and destroy.   After leaving his home he got a small loft in the Alphabet City of New York.  With that he started to work for a lot of the thespian crews working costumes.  Nobody could do what Haru could with a needle and thread, and a little magic here and there.
